WIP Piercings as cloth (Patreon)

Hey guys, I haven't worked on these much this month cause I'm on a break, but I'm feeling better and wanted to post some of the shots from the discord of what I started back in Jan and information on the upcoming work.

I have made a document with a long list of body piercings and have purchased all the resources and licenses needed to port and share them with you. I have tried to make an easy to search naming convention also. All piercing requests are welcome, please add them as a 'comment' here and I will do my best to satisfy them!

Each piercing will be optimized for the body part, the default will be silver with a gold preset for each. There will also be some special presets added depending on the piercing type and body part (see the septum screenshot)

There will be a mixture of piercings types hoop/rings, horseshoe, beads/gems, spikes and studs.

So the issues with piercings as cloth is they distort when using custom morphs/ looks. I have really tried to fix this issue but it takes a lot of testing and back n forth porting to get each placed correctly and without the dreaded black void that flicker shines when using PostMagic.

For the distorting issue I have experimented with creating different cloth simulations whilst trying to keep the jiggle and fps down. This is proving to be fiddley but effective for some piercing types. 

Ticking the "Wrap to smoothed Vertices" can sometime help or make the distorting worse depending on the custom look you are using. By default the box will be 'un checked' but I will add a 'Checked' preset for this to make it easier.

Some of the piercings will be "Early Access" for Patreons and then they will be released  for free. This will be a continuing project and I will release .var when I can.

Thank you for reading if you made it this far hehe
