Introduction
If you have never made a Body Shop mesh before, you MUST start with these tutorials. Even if you ultimately don't really want to make body or clothing meshes, these teach the basics of editing - making a new mesh package, using Unimesh, editing in Milkshape, etc.
What you will need
- SimPE
- A 3D modeling program - we HIGHLY recommend Milkshape with the Unimesh plugins. Free programs are available but simply will not do what Milkshape will do for its low price.
- Prerequisite for ALL Body Shop Meshing Projects: You MUST be an experienced creator of Body Shop recolours - that is, changing textures and alphas for clothing, hair, accessories, skintones, etc... These tutorials will not tell how to use Body Shop or make textures for your meshes... and the skills you learn through becoming extremely adept at making recolours/retextures/reskins of Body Shop content are -crucial- to being successful at creating new Body Shop meshes.
