Glamorous

[Eul]

You mean like on The Sims 4 where you make Excellent Food quality and it gives sparkly effect? I don't mind at all. It's just option right?

It's just option right?

This is the way I see it as well. It would just be another option to the game that people can choose to use or not use. Yay for variety, I say!

On a side note, don't mind o3o. It's just her(or his?) opinion, which she is allowed to have like everyone else. We don't need to make every single thread in this forum in to a quarrel.

it would be completely optional because its just a HQ glamour, and that was an excellent example, but not appearing in the same place all the time

if your wasting development time on it might as well throw in an option to hide it.

not that i ever see something like this coming about due to the incredible amount of work it would take to go back and re-texture and edit every dyable item with care to look atleast half way decent. not to mention it being something most people probably do not want or just do not care for at all. and the fact that it will increase the amount of time it would take to make future gear because now you have to add a whole new element to items. that could just be better spent making more new items instead.

I think some things are getting lost in translation, but if it's simply a gleam or shine (not glow or glitter) like when you do the Manderville pose, they wouldn't even need to make textures for the items.

Most new appearance/glamour additions in my mind are never top priority, but I'm also always of the frame of mind that the more options, the better. I don't care what people want to look like in game or what they want to wear. That includes glowy armor and bright colors. (: Nobody will force SE's hand one way or the other so what's say we let bygones be bygones and agree to disagree about it.

im just trying to wrap my head around it :/

lets say we glamour each item with a hq glam prism. thats 12 items (13 if you are a pld) and each one sparkles with the manderville pose sparkle once every 30 seconds. systems would have to be made so they either don't sparkle all at the same time or that they each sparkle staggered meaning constant sparkling. and what if you ran into the sunlight? you would expect it to sparkle and will most likely look really odd if it didn't. same with being in a pitch black area and seeing bright sparkles reflecting off of you with no real source of light around

also if you made gear shiny, glossy, or sleek looking without changing the textures. it would create some odd and ugly effects of a layer of oil on some things or as if it has just been waxed. like for example. some cloths would look really strange as if they were dripped in oil. and what about already metallic items? would you add the sleek and shiny effect to something that was already sleek and shiny giving it a weird waxy look? i think they did a great job making metallic items look like metal. they even reflect light just like you expect something made of that material to do so. but adding it all items would make some look unnatural.

to me it would make many items look cheap like plastic toys. and i'm all for things that make the game look better. not cheaper.

See this is why I'm saying I think things are getting confused by word interpretations.. Who's wanting gear to look sleek and oily? I think the OP just meant like a subtle twinkle sparkle every once in a while.. That's what I meant by a gleam.

It could just be restricted to a chest piece even, it wouldn't have to be on everything. But it's too hard to know how it would look or how it would look if everyone had it. There was a jacket in FFXI that had this effect and I was trying to find it as an example, it always looked amazing when someone was wearing that.

wood is an example that if made sleek would have a waxy appearance.

you cannot make wood look shiny without making it look waxy. its just the way it is. and having it sparkle would be even stranger.

leather is another odd one. having leather shine or sparkle or whatever just looks odd and unnatural. like a pair of well polished church shoes with a hint of glitter dabbed on.

[KiraKiyoko]

they could even make it so you can only choose 1 item to apply it to, there's no need to change any textures it's just a simple effect/animation

edit: i really don't see how it's so hard to see a sparkle on something even if its not shiny, it would just be a little twinkle every now and then to show its HQ ._.

I wouldn't want them to go overboard with the sparkle, but if it's a subtle effect I don't see why not. Could just make a series of dyes with the effect like we have with the metallic dyes, but it would be kind of nice if hqing level 1 glamours was actually useful for something too since we have the option.
