[Clothing] Year of the Dragon - Changshan for AM
Happy Lunar New Year! Here's a little gift for those who celebrate it. :D (and anyone else who may find use for it XP)
This is a changshan/changpao, the male equivalent of the qipao. This style of dress was introduced by the Manchu in China during the Qing Dynasty (around the 17th century), replacing the traditional hanfu as everyday attire by order of law. Nowadays they are mainly used as formal wear. There's already a lovely mesh for it around, but I wanted a more fitted version with wider sleeves because of reasons.
Just one caveat: Poses (from poseboxes) that have the sim cross their legs will look horrendous with this. I checked similar meshes (e.g. long dresses with splits/visible ankles) to try and fix it, but they all have this problem due to the way they're meshed. It's just a posebox thing though, all the normal EAxis animations -from tai chi to sofa jumping- should cause no problems.
All parts based on Maxis stuff save for Tenshii~Akari's hands, textures are my own.
Outfit Information
File name: yuxi-clothing-AMchangshan
Polycount: F4228 V3033.
Morphs: Yes.
Categories: Everyday, formal.
Hands: Tenshii's smoother hands, Maxis hands (optional).
Last updated: 24 January 2012 (small clipping boober at the calf).
< Mediafire or Dropbox or Box.net >
Optional: Maxis hands mesh.
And because one mesh fix a day keeps the holes away, I almost completely redid this outfit here to improve the animation, mapping and textures and add smoother hands. The difference isn't as drastic as the previous outfits, but it just looks neater and less sloppy.

ETA: I fixed a lame floating vertex on the right hand of the Aldebaran outfit from the GoS Advent, so please redownload. Must have happened when I fixed the shoes. Gah, what am I like.

I've been an admirer of your work for a while, but just recently scrounged up the courage to comment. Haha :D

Hah yes, I've noticed plenty of folks prefer the normal Maxis hands, so I decided to just add optional Maxis hands meshes to every outfit from now on.
