Posted by ulker on Dec 21, 2009• BASIC HAIR MESHING IN TSR WORKSHOP

What You Will Need

TSR Workshop 0.8.7 or later (http://www.thesimsresource.com/workshop)
You will need TSR Workshop for importing/exporting your meshes and textures and exporting your final work as a .sim3package or .package. This tool doesnt make meshes, you need a 3d application for that.

A graphics editor capable of supporting DDS (Ill be using Photoshop CS3)
Youll need a graphics editor to draw your hair textures and save the textues in .dds format. This is the only format The Sims 3 recognizes. You cant just save your textures in .bmp or .jpg.

Milkshape 1.8.5 or later
Youll need Milkshape mainly for bone assignments and because Workshop has Milkshape plugins to export import .wso files. This format can hold bone assignment information. But for modelling I strongly recommend to use a more professional 3d application like 3ds Max, Maya and Cinema 4d. It doesnt mean you cant mesh in Milkshape. But Milkshape has very limited tools to help you get your work done faster, so youd probably spend weeks in Milkshape to create a smooth and beautiful hair mesh. Trust me, its a lot of work!

CrazyBump (http://www.crazybump.com/) (optional)
This program is amazing . You can make your bump maps, specular and normal maps within seconds with this tool. Try it!

Step 1

So, first things first. Install TSR Workshop then go to C:\Program Files\The Sims Resource\TSR Workshop\Extras\Milkshape Plugins and grab the two files named msTSRWorkshopExport.dll and msTSRWorkshopImport.dll. Now go to C:\Program Files\MilkShape 3D 1.8.5 and paste them there. Now your milkshape has TSR Workshop plugins!

Step 2

Now fire up TSR Workshop. Hit Create New Project > Hair > Age > Sex > Clothing Category and pick a hair from there.

Pick a hair that suits your new custom mesh best. If youre planning to make a long hair pick a long one from the list so you can study how their vertices are assigned to bones and copy them. You can also pick a hair that has accessories like hair clips or hats if your new mesh has accessories too. This will make things easier later.

 

Step 3

Name your Project, find a unique name for the unique indentifier (for example creatorname_hair_01) find a name for the title and write a description. Since Im too lazy to fill all those spaces I just paste Ulker_hair_00x to all of the spaces. It doesnt matter what you write really. Just make sure the unique identifier is somewhat unique!

 

Step 4

Lets just save our project in .wrk format and close Workshop. Well mesh hair now! Open your favorite 3d application and import one of the example bodies. Ill be using 3ds Max 2010 and importing the adult female body in this tutorial. But you can do the same things Ill be doing in another 3d application too. Now group the face, scalp and the body together and freeze them so you dont move their verts by accident.

On May 5, 2010 terriecason wrote:
You're tutorial seems alright but the problem here is the programs you use and/or recommend are highly expensive. Many people have various concerns about paying the registration code fee for Milkshape (required for it to become fully functional outside of its 30 day trial period) which is at present $33.42 USD. Photoshop CS3 alone is expensive, currently ranging between $140-$430 USD depending on who you buy it from and if the software is new or used. The cost for the 3d applications you recommend are rather excessive for people who are interested in making The Sims creations for casual use: Cinema 4D - $995.00; 3ds Max - $3,495.00, Upgrade from 2009 or 2010 - $1,745.00; Maya - $3,495.00 (All prices in USD). These are retail prices from the website of the businesses that made these programs. Yes, one could buy these programs from an authorized dealer for a little less or go to Ebay and win through auction or possibly find them on Craigslist or others however, given that the cost for the applications listed here are very high retail, one should and can expect to pay out the nose for them even at a discount rate or for a used version of the software.    Cinema 4D: http://www.maxonshop.com/us/ps/code=C4D-N-11&act=gpage   3ds Max: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/index?id=13571403&siteID=123112   Maya:  http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/index?siteID=123112&id=13578025   CrazyBump (Optional) $299 for Commercial license, $99 for Personal Use license, $49 for Student license: http://www.crazybump.com/buy.html

Ok to do step 4, you first need to install MilkShape In MilkShape goto: Files>Import>TSRW Object and then go about selecting your exported item. Oh yeah to export the mesh so MilkShape can use it, inside TSR:Workshop, goto the Mesh Tabs and click on the box that has a red arrow going out which means to EXPORT. Have fun

If your using 3d Max or Maya, you will need to have a program that will open the rar files because the example body found here: http://www.modyourpanties.com/hosting/11415_090725122135ExampleBodiesandFacesTS3.rar   is a rar file and you need it to be obj in order to import into Maya and Max.

thanks for the tutorial but it's soooo confusing. i feel like you are leaving TONS of important steps on this tutorial out.  i just want to know how you got from point A to pt B to pt C and so on and so forth.  You are leaving a big gap in some of your instructions, i had to spend an extra 20 mins on figuring out how and where to find this "female sample body" you are speaking of and then once i found it, how to import it into milkshape myself. this would have been a really good tutorial if you actually went step by step instead of Assuming that we know what you mean already. sorry, just a little frustrated here.  i probably couldn't have wrote this entire tutorial better then you but maybe when i finally learn how to use this darn thing - i might take a stab at writing a tutorial for dummies, er, beginners like me ;-)!

oh and in case you're wondering where to find the sample bodies, refer to rebecah's post  (big thnks to Rebecah btw!) on 2/23/2010 above and follow this link:<br> http://www.modyourpanties.com/hosting/11415_090725122135ExampleBodiesandFacesTS3.rar.  you are going to need to need a 3rd party program to extract the files from this link.  I use bitzipper (http://www.bitzipper.com/) you can download the 30 day free trial.  i've been using this for more then 30days and it still functions fine and free of charge.  i don't know if it will be the same w/you or not. once extracted create a file somewhere; i created a file in documents\electronic arts\the sims 3 folder and named it TSR workshop projects. Now copy all extracted files from your 3rd party program (i.e. bitzipper) and place it in your new folder, which for me, would be 'TSR workshop projects'.  once you do this: open milkshape, go to file, go to import, now look for "Wavefront OBJ" and click.  A new window will appear, find the path or follow the same path that you placed the sample bodies in.  Per the tutorial above, look for the AFbody, AF Scalp and the AF Face (pls note you are going to have to open them all up one by one).  once you open the body,scalp and face you should see them on your Milkshape program.  that was as far as i got to...i'm stuck as to where or how to import the hair i saved in the TSR application.  hmmm....

Thank you for the tutorial, though I could say that this is not enough of details. Most of us, as I realized, don't have a clue of how to use some of this stuff. I personally have a problem with putting the planes on the head to make the bangs.(?) Is there a way to edit the curves so it would become like a bow or smth? Why don't you ever reply to the posts?  Yamikadze, You don't have to import *.wrk file to the 3ds max. You need to import example body with scalp and face(you can download the *.rar file of them in ModTheSims website, and just unrar them into the 3ds max folder in C disk.)

Hello all. Thanks for reading my tutorial. I'm sorry it's not an in depth tutorial. I had to keep it short because hair meshing is a challenging task and writing a tutorial on the subject is even more challenging. I cleary stated in the begging that it's an advanced level tutorial and if you're not familiar with modeling you can't do this. I don't reply questions here simply because I don't have time. It's not my 'duty' to answer your questions just because I wrote the tutorial. Jeez people.

Thank you for this tut, Ulker, I think it's simple and to the point (the tutorial, not the meshing, lol). Although I missed some info about the undersides of hair, I had to find that elsewhere, and I think that could be a major problem for most ppl who try this tut (and didn't read a different one before). Maybe you could still add it? But I really appreciate the info on TagValues, I had no idea about that. I spent hours trying to figure out why my hair was all black. Thank you A LOT People, try meshing objects if you didn't before. This is WAY to difficult for meshing beginners.

In that sense this tutorial speaks for itself because once read I really know that if I want to improve my sims hairs I will have to buy them, which takes me to another point, what is the sense of having the TSR Workshop for free if you have to buy Milkshape, Maya or any other 3d program when you can have Blender for free? I already have Milkshape and I followed all the steps, I'm not new in modelling and yet couldn't get anything clear out of this so called tutorial.

To import female body in Milkshape : after you imported hair and downloaded example body, go to the import list again and there is "Wavefront OBJ". Click it and find your example body + face and scalp. Im not sure is this right but its what I figured out. And sorry my bad english (:

Right, so having the wee bit of a problem of this "guide" that it assumes people have meshes lying around for their use. The problem is that you cannot extract meshes using TSR Workshop meaning you must find another way of doing that. My problem is that I would like to improve upon an already existing custom hairstyle, and the only program in my knowledge that is capable of extracting the .simgeom files and the texture files that allow you to actually change the meshes is CTU, but CTU doesn't allow you to edit custom content in my knowledge. I completely agree with those who are having problems that this guide (along with the one on MTS) simply assume most users already know what tools to use etc to make things work for them and that is honestly, plain laziness. I can't get the model to show like in this tutorial when opening the .simgeom file in Milkshape making designing quite hard. It says it is missing bone structure even though I extracted the bloody thing using CTU (and it's not even the thing I want to work with!).   Maybe not the right place to rant but I am honestly getting tired of all the useless guides on the internet with their lack of clarity for people who just want to make some simple hairstyles for their sims. I completely understand that TSR Workshop as a program is not meant to allow to change the meshes as it is not a 3D program but that aside, adding a lot of features like extracing meshes, being able to load existing custom content that is not yours but somebody else's just like SimPE would make life so much simpler as so many stupid unnecessary steps would be reduced.

I followed the steps and when I tried to upload it back to TSR workshop. It says wrong number of groups, expected 1 found 2. What does that mean? It is because I modified the mesh? Is there someting else I have to do to get the mesh to upload into TSR workshop?
