Like to have some prim shirt collars for the boy avis that gives clothes more structure. Only seen polo shirt type collars, but interested to build your classic dress shirt collars. Here is a plan of attack and I thought I'd check with the experts before I begin
- Use a hollow cone, keep it flattened and skewed. The skew would allow the back of the collar to be vertical while the front is highly angled
- use an alpha texture to define the collar outline
Figure I need to load up a colored grid texture to find the right alpha texture boundries on a properly adjusted cone shape.
Any thoughts? Sure like to get a little more structure than painted on collars.

That's about how it's done, yes. I have a 'teacher' outfit that I purchased recently which uses a prim collar. I didn't try to dissect it, but that is what it seemed to be to my eyes.

I use prim collars on some outfits* - I use a cut torus and it looks very good.
*I make mostly men's clothing in kind of medieval-to-18thc styles that are just drawn from my imagination
