The Street Attire (Graphic Update)

[Auro_Seldaris]

Had to check it out myself as well when I read it. Seems that they did the same for most of the glams they "touched up". Honestly I am gutted...

On pretty much all the DT gear the metallic dyes look so matte. They miss that shine that metallic dyes should give, or rather, used to have now. It just looks weird honestly. They really should give us the shine/gloss back, and if they're at it, add it to the DT pieces too, I would use them a lot more if they'd look like the pre-DT metallic dyes.

>CSIII makes an unnecessary change that nobody asked for
>it makes everything worse instead of better

Wow, I can't tell you how shocked I am by this information. That is to say... I can't tell you I'm shocked by it, because I'm not.

Sorry, friend, that sucks big time. I love to use the gunmetal black to make certain gear look like silk. Can't wait to see how THAT looks now....

I've been dyeing my glams silver since HW, as I really like the gloss and shine it gives off and reflects the colours around you. I was already upset when I noticed the metallic change on most DT gear, but seeing that they ruin older gear as well is making me scared that they'll ruin my favourite glam pieces eventually.

Same here. I've had my Street Attire dyed metallic since 2022. It's been my main glam for years, and it sucks that they took away the shine. It just doesn’t look the same anymore. Hope they bring it back...

Sorry for the double post, but I made a screenshot too:

It's the same Metallic Blue Dye, and Street Attire used to look the same with this dye.

Oh god, "Crunchy" is the right word, for sure. Good lord, that street attire...

It legitimately looks like a bad 2 dimensional jpg pasted over the character. Not to mention.... whatever the hell they did to the color of it. Disgusting work, CSIII.

EDIT: add a bunch of modern/cyber gear, screw up the metallic dyes. Bravo, CSIII, stunning and brave.

c r o n c h y when dyed pastel too





Undyed also looks really weird to me especially in sleeve area




Really not sure what's going on cuz it almost looks like the texture is shimmering/on top of the fabric when standing still and character is just breathing. Feel like this outfit really didn't need a texture update, it looked fine before even with the "updated" graphics of everything else.

Yeah, it seems like there’s something off with the jacket texture. They probably tried to create a 'jean' texture, but it just doesn’t work with metallic dyes. If they’d used a smoother silk texture, like the one from the 7.1 'Loose Fit Attire' (which actually works with metallic dyes), the whole set would look fine with metallic dyes.

They also improved a lot of gear in this patch, including:

- Loyal Housemaid's Set
- Summer Sunset Set
- Magitek Set

From what I’ve checked, both the Summer Sunset Beach Cover-up and the Magitek Jacket lost their metallic shine too.

As some people have mentioned, metallic dyes now look more plastic-like or muddy, almost like matte dyes... Seeing this happen on such a large scale, I’m starting to doubt they’ll ever fix it or even notice it
