which model/texture should i use

Breeze/Robert.

They're also pretty much the only one out there with some support.

Yep. I'm working on customs for RMF3 at present. Breeze has a couple of sexy armors plus a trench coat, I think. RMF3/Breeze's are intercompatible, so users of one can use armors for the other (they will look like whatever body the outfit was made for, but no texture errors).

 

My wip for RMF3/UF3 outfits is here. I've got some jeans, leathers, tank tops, and trench coats done.

 

There's not much custom male clothing support yet, since most modders are busy with sexy female outfits (as is their prerogative with their own time and effort). If anybody else would like to learn to model for RFM3, there's a tutorial here.

Lot of nice looking stuff there, thanks for the links :). I'll have a look in more detail, what I am seeking is a tattered wastelander armor set, which eventually he can change to a better looking one, when his luck changes.

 

I can't blame most people for concentrating on female models, I would be too but I write more believable male characters. I can pull off 'surface' female characters not flat but not believable as a lead for more than a chapter or two, after that if the attention is mostly on them, its harder to hide your a male writing a females perspective.

I think you've mixed up "writing" with "cleavage modeling"

I meant in regards to any work on characters as a whole and actual writing ;) I can't model myself, I am a roleplayer and a coder. I have tried doing animations and such in second life, I had not the patience for it, they always ended up completely legless.

I've not read your material, but I think the biggest mistake guys make in writing women is to emphasize to heavily that they ARE a woman - have them think about it all the time. If you think of them as just a person who happens to look differently then it works better. Having a character talk or think about how they look all the time is also a giveaway. Few women stand around going, "Gee, I certainly have high, firm breasts beneath my skintight leather crop top today!"

That made me chuckle. Yes that is the first mistake guys make writing a female character, the second is making a character too giggly or cute.

 

No I am not that poor a writer, I find the best way to write any character your not comfortable playing, is a shy or toned down stereotypical one. A shy character in roleplaying, has so many ways out of a scene without losing immersion.

 

When I say surface female characters, I mean I take a sterotype and tone it down to be more realistic, building on it from there and as I love to do with any character type, maybe reform their personality as I go. For instance, the damsel in distress (but played more subtly), the superficial drama queen, the shy character who needs someone to bring them out their shell, the strong amazon warrior or someone who loves to talk shop about clothes all day.

 

I can do a surface, female character, as long as the focus is not on them for too long to drive a scene, beyond that I write characters as I see people, which is inherently from a males perspective sadly. It would be nice to walk a few miles in a women's shoes for a day :D, yet I suppose I am not the first amateur writer who has wanted a different perspective before and besides I have big feet.

Type V and Type 3 are "compatible", in the sense that they use the same normal map.

 

That's a UV map. Which is 3D model "skin" unwrapped into 2d image, you can paint texture on. All "Types" use the same base model and only difference is their different shape for different tastes. So, they are compatible in "every" sense , simply because they ARE the same,hehe.
