[edit] 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.
[edit] 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.
[edit] Beginner Tutorials
These three Unimesh tutorials are the beginner tutorials. Each one builds on the previous tutorial, so that by the time you're done, you should have the basic skills necessary to progress to more advanced editing techniques, or other types of meshes like hair or accessories.
- Unimesh 1 - New Mesh Basics .
- The tutorial to start with if you've never made a sim mesh before
- Unimesh 2 - Editing and UV Mapping - Teaches a more advanced edit, and the basics of editing a UV map.
- Unimesh/Milkshape Tutorial: Level 3, Combining Mesh Parts - wiki version Same as Tig's original tutorial with the inline images restored.
[edit] General Grounding
