Forum Discussion
I have not been silent about my wanting TS5 (in my mind, it couldn't come soon enough), so I'm very pleased it's officially out in the open and we can discuss it freely instead of feeling like it's a "dirty little secret" that gets shoved clear to the underbelly of the forum, like The Fight Club.
And, I'm super stoked that they are bringing back some form of the colorwheel and a CASt type option!!!
Because honestly when I saw the interview from years ago with James Turner and Lindsay Pearson, he asked about there wasn't some form of it in TS4 and essentially she said because it caused performance issues
So at best I thought we might get something similar to how TS2 was done where parts of the mesh were separated and had their own texture so it could be changed.
Although that system was innovating for the time, it also was horrible in the fact that every single recolor was its own .package file and it was nothing to have like 50 packages just to recolor the exact same object (like bedding)!
But it was also nice that all those recolors all attached to that object and you could easily view them in the catalog of that one item, unlike recolors for TS4 where they're all their own packages and they take up a lot of catalog space (and endless scrolling!)
But, I'm trying not to get too excited since it's a super, super, super long way away from releasing.
