http://www.thesimsresource.com/artists/estatica/comments/?blogID=8239 2008-08-03T11:12:14Z I went back to learning how to mesh again and this time, with the help of Spaik's tutorial and tips from sim_man123, I was able to make my first animated object! I still can't believe this actually worked and am really excited about it, so I had to share with you guys. <img src="http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a160/hadlespink/sims/snapshot_55a124b8_15a1981b.jpg" width="600" height="450" /> <img src="http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a160/hadlespink/sims/snapshot_55a124b8_d5a19840.jpg" width="600" height="450" /> Well, I'm off to do more damage! Any suggestions are appreciated :) Ana

I am conducting a new poll and I would really like to know how you guys feel about downloading and uploading sim families. I know I've always wanted to do this, but so far it's not possible at TSR. Anyway, what are your thoughts on this? :)

http://www.thesimsresource.com/artists/estatica/comments/?blogID=7686 2008-06-01T19:02:19Z Well, I just realised I messed up my first multitile object meshes due to ignorance on my part. But no need to worry, I have it all fixed now! If you downloaded the Dilbert Modern Office, please redownload the <a href="http://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/sims2/objects/furnishing/decorative/paintings/718926/"> corkboard</a>, the <a href="http://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/sims2/objects/furnishing/surfaces/coffeetables/718927/"> coffe table</a> and the <a href="http://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/sims2/objects/furnishing/surfaces/desks/718928/"> desk</a>. Delete the old versions you have in game and all should be fine. :) I'm really sorry for the inconvenience, so please don't get angry enough to hurt me. I don't have health insurance that covers damages sustained during the meshing learning process.

http://www.thesimsresource.com/artists/estatica/comments/?blogID=7619 2008-05-25T12:34:01Z I finally finished my office set, but I'm still waiting for the testing results, so I don't crash anyone's game. Anyway, here's a sneak peak! <img src="http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a160/hadlespink/sims/DilbertModernOffice.jpg"/> Also, I just created my first fence today, and finished a lot quicker thanks to MsBarrows and sim_man123 tips. :D <img src="http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a160/hadlespink/sims/snapshot_b53ef334_7545717f.jpg"/> I'll probably work on it a bit more, but for now, I'm quite proud of my first attempt :D

http://www.thesimsresource.com/artists/estatica/comments/?blogID=7540 2008-05-17T10:25:09Z I feel like a kid allowed to hang out with the big guys, so instead of a proper speech about how wonderful it is to become FA, I'll just jump up and down all over the place and hope not to break anything! *jumps up and down* Thanks guys! Ana p.s. I'll be away for the weekend, so I hope you have a nice one :)

http://www.thesimsresource.com/artists/estatica/comments/?blogID=7415 2008-05-05T22:43:26Z I don't write or speak German, but someone was kind enough to tell me that there is a <a href="http://www.feenwald.de/de/tutorials.php"> new German tutorial</a> explaining how I created the modular stairs for the <a href="http://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/sims2/lots/community/gyms/660746/"> Ballet Académie</a>. Much as I am flattered that they picked my lot as a reference for that tutorial, I would like to point out that I first learned to make these modular stairs by reading <a href="http://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/articles/sims2/tutorials/houses/483961/"> Tiko's tutorial</a>, right here at TSR. If you have any other doubts, just PM me and I will try to help out the best I can. I'm having trouble replying to the comments on my stuff, but I will reply to them all eventually! Meanwhile, while my laptop is down for repair, I'm unable to play the game. I'm messing around in Wings 3D and UVMapper to overcome this growing frustration, but sometimes it's just not enough :(

http://www.thesimsresource.com/artists/estatica/comments/?blogID=7287 2008-04-23T22:25:10Z My always faithful, gorgeous laptop failed me yesterday and I had to take him to the store to fix his issues with the monitor. I know he'll come back all shiny and in perfect shape, but I'll miss him in these next few weeks. Meanwhile, I won't be able to play the sims, or create anything, for that matter because I could only play it in that laptop. I still have access to the internet in this old computer, so feel free to contact me if you need anything. :) Ana
