It's a mesh - my first attemp at meshing

Blogpost added Feb 24, 2010, read 567 times

It's been awhile since I posted anything in my blog.  I am finally taking the plung and trying to learn to mesh. I tried using Liana's mesh which she offer to creators like me, but I had to use an older version of TSR's workshop.  My top using Liana's mesh installed in the game just fine, but when I tried to upload it to TSR I just got a message saying something like "don't know what to do with it." I tried to upload it 4 times.  I thought it was the server, so I uploaded another sim pack I made from the current version of TSR Workshop and it uploaded just fine.  That is when I decided I needed to make my own mesh.

I hope Liana doesn't mind but I used her idea to tweak the same mesh she did which is the overhang top.  I liked the way my top fit on her mesh, but since I'm having issues uploading my top with her mesh to TSR I decided to make mine similar to Liana's.  Imitation is the best form of flattery. 

It's a little mind boggling, but I think I can do it.  I'm going to start small. I tried making a few adjustments to this top. I found a great video tutorial on youtube on quick meshing in milkshap and it really helped.  They used a different CAS Workshop similar to TSR's workshop, so I was able to figure out how to export and import to and from TSR. 

The fun part was tweaking the mesh in milkshape.  Yep, I broke down and purchased Milkshape. The difference between the youtube tutorial and what I was actually working on, is when I import the mesh into milkshape it had the Fat morph on the top.  I hide the fat morph and tweaked the base mesh.  Then brought back the fat morph and tweaked it so it was similar to the base mesh. 

Here's a screen shots of my first attempt at meshing.  I hope to one day make my own meshes.  I still need to figure out the whole UV Maps, Vertex and ploygon stuff.  Look for my top coming soon.  I really want to make a short skirt for girls. I hate the long skirt in the game. Wish me luck.

Hey Simromi.  I hope that you get the hang of meshing.  Looks as though your getting there.  I wish you much luck!  I am sure you'll figure it out eventually!  I look forward to seeing your new creations.  \:\)  \:wub\:  Diana
