Description
or: "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Slider"It was a fun challenge figuring out how to do this using just one morph instead of a combined group of 2 morphs made up of one that hides her school uniform set and another that reveals her swimwear set.
You see, the problem with doing it that way is that not only does it require creating 3 morphs (including the group combo morph) to do the job of just one morph, it also means leaving a "leftover" morph in the panel that strips away her clothing completely (along with another leftover morph that brings her swimwear into view), and we just can't have a Nekkid Sena Slider! >_<
So, I started experimenting and came up with this - one slider for 2 outfits, no nekkid Sena - Win-Win! ^_^
As for the possibilities this morph technique unlocks, well, just use your imaginations because the sky's no longer the limit!

I hope you like it as much as I had fun figuring out how to do it!

Sounds like you discovered the CSV hidden morph technique, eh? ^^

CSV? Nope, I didn't even go near that. This is all mats manipulation using mixed hide/reveal settings in a single morph. She has all of the materials seen, but the swimwear is hidden when she loads just like her expressions are. I use the same technique that's used with those, except instead of just revealing hidden mats I'm also swapping them out with others that occupy the same space. It pretty much does the same thing as a UV texture swap but without the midpoint texture salad.

I see. Interesting~
CSV isn't very hard though--just open it in Notepad to make sure JPN characters don't break and change one of the first 1's to a 0 to hide the morph entirely from the display pane.

Ah, I never knew that and wondered if there was a way to hide the base morphs in a combo group like that, but since I couldn't find any info on it anywhere I just came up with my own way of doing it instead.
I actually think my way is better because like I said above, it's now just one morph doing the same job as 3, plus, after reading how it's done, I can state with certainty that it's better because anyone who knows how can easily do it in the editor, as opposed to CSV hacking which is something not everyone is comfortable with doing.
I should probably make a tut on how to do it, but I have no idea how to vertically stack images the way it's done in most tuts, so I'm not going to bother with it at all unless people really want to know how to do it, because I really don't feel like DLing and installing yet another program to do just that one job.
