Author: Apple | Posted Mar 7, 2010 | 44 comments
[b]Updated Mar 23[/b] This is an updated version of the original tutorial I wrote quite a few months back. It's been updated to include the newest features of TSR Workshop, as well as a 100% collaboration with the newest tutorials here, so you can go on to create objects all the way. This tutorial is mainly a TSR Workshop guide. It doesn't teach you how to create a mesh, nor how to create the textures; that is what the other two new tutorials are for (and they're linked to in this tutorial at the right places). This guide shows you everything you need to know about the TSR Workshop program. For example showing you hwo to enable/disable new patterns, add a new colour variation, as well as broken down views of the Workshop user interface throughout.

Author: Cyclonesue | Posted Mar 5, 2010 | 24 comments
Welcome to this complete resource on Sims 3 object texturing. Ideal for both beginners who have no idea how to create a texture from scratch, right through to experts who haven't harnessed the full power of a specular or would like to make transparencies. The guide covers how to make Multipliers, Speculars, the RGB (RGBA) mask, Overlays and Stencils - no experience necessary. It will also teach you how to scale the size of your UV maps correctly using EA techniques for sizing to ensure your image sizes are no bigger than they need to be and your patterns will not be stretched or blurred. It also covers more advanced topics like editing the materials of non-recolourable objects, making wall masks for windows, doors and arches (and using the automatic wallmask generator), creating dirty-state overlays and importing them (together with easy workarounds for keeping file sizes trim), and also takes a look at sheers and transparency. The guide covers how to import all these textures into Workshop, how to set up patterns and colour variations, how to make use of some useful EA textures, and even how to export the complete pattern-made texture as a usable texture for a Sims 2 object conversion! Finally, a help section covers a myriad of frequently asked questions and explains how to use alpha channels even if your graphics program doesn't make them obviously editable! {* This tutorial teaches how to create Sims 3 DDS object textures using Workshop. It includes how to make multipliers, how to make speculars, how to make overlays and stencils, and how to make a variety of other Sims 3 textures including dirty-state overlays, non-recolourable materials, sheers, transparency, wall masks for windows and how to use the automatic wallmasks generator. It also covers how to import DDS images into Workshop, how to make texture colour variations, how to set up patterns and how to export a complete complate of a Sims texture to convert a Sims 3 texture into a Sims 2 recolour texture. *}

Now the dust has settled, everyone is making patterns - except you. That's because you've tried all the proper tutorials and STILL failed, but didn't like to say out loud in case everyone else pointed and laughed. Well, meet me then! I failed too, so I've written another tutorial who those of us who need every last degree explained carefully - and soon you'll be making patters too, probably using someone else's texture because you can't draw either!
