[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.

This tutorial will show you how to automatically create a multiplier using Blender3D (version 2.49) and export it so that it can be converted to DDS for importing into TSR Workshop. This tutorial may be updated for the revamped Blender3D v2.5 user interface once a final, stable version is released.

This tutorial will teach you the basics of creating hair meshes in TSR Workshop. It won’t be an in-depth tutorial about modelling in your 3d application or drawing nice textures in your graphics editor. There are plenty of nice tutorials about those topics on the internet. I’ll just share a few tips and tricks about meshing and texturing. This tutorial will cover things like how to make a set of textures/LODs and what those things mean. So note that you must be familiar with your 3d application and graphics editor and practice a lot to create good looking hair. So let’s get started!

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!
