I've encountered an issue when building an Ani
If I put a shirt in the base textures I get a black collar even though it has a coloured collar texture.
Use the same shirt in a Section and I get the correctly coloured collar.

Coming Soon!!! AniFactory
Re: Coming Soon!!! AniFactory
While as indicated I have not been able to get long sleeves to work for some reason, there are a couple of other capabilities that could be added to AniFactory.
I think the ability to have sun sleeves as part of the AniFactory build process could be added, while this is a workaround for long sleeves they are a product that people do buy and use.
Amongst the created Anis there are about 40 odd variations of golf gloves that have good a resolution, so you could have an option to select the glove to be used for you Anis, The textures are there, I have been able to extract them from the existing available Anis.
These suggestions are about adding more variety.

Re: Coming Soon!!! AniFactory
Des,
I promise I will eventually tackle all these AniFactory suggestions/issues, but I just don't have the time to go down that rabbit hole right now. Once I get my game out then I will circle back to AniFactory and give it the attention it deserves. It at least allows the community to create Anis that they can use and that was the initial goal of the program.
As for the sleeves, I've covered this somewhere on this site in all my Ani blabbing, but you can't do long sleeves without "tearing" the texture which is what causes the dark spots. I discussed this at length with the original Animasters and they ran into the same issues when trying to do it. It is possible, but you are very limited as any changes in color or fabric/texture makes it look unrealistic.
You have found the best way to implement sleeves, which is what you are calling "sun sleeves" and what we call a "compression shirt" here in the States. Either way, I have a bunch of pro Anis with those sleeves and they are easy to do as you've found out. Adding them to the AniFactory shouldn't be that hard to do.

JC,
I have been adding to the thread when I find things or have ideas really just to ensure it is all documented and in one place, my head is not a good place to keep the information.
In the process I have learnt to use the Golfer Utility, but also realise that not too many people will take that utility on. For someone used to computers and software it is not anything strange but to a non computer user it is another story, that is the beauty of AniFactory the non-computer use can create an Ani easily.
