Hi all,
I was wondering, after the trial with Milkshape expires, does anyone know about another 3d editor that would work to make this? I know they're basically all work the same way, some are more complete than others, but without these plugins... just wondering here.

Thanx.

Hello, i am having trouble exporting a mesh back into the package. it says "bone count incorrect". is there anyway to fix this problem easily? I joined two meshes, so i assume this is why there is a problem. I used doctor pixels tutorial for shoes and snapped together all vertexes so I am clueless. Please help me..

thanks

It's the bone count between your first mesh and the 2nd one that is supposed to be the fat morph. You need to make the fat morph be identical (like put the same shoes on). OR.... you need to copy your first to the 2nd, and then change it to look fat -- but you also (and this was left out) need the secondary bone assignments in order to get smoother animation - so you will need to check your second body before deleting and write down the bone assignments so you can reassign them. (for best results)

Better would be to use the unimesh plugin instead - but it has it's own set of quirks and you cannot follow the instructions in dr pixel's tutorial to put the shoes on, because you can't weld the seams.

Oh - and myfairdiva - unfortunately the answer is 'no'. Actually most of the 3D editing programs do something or another to the mesh (like reordering all the vertices) that put limits on what can be done with other tools, like Meshtool. You can get some results with meshtool and xsi modtool, both are free. We don't have a beginners tutorial for that, but if you succeed here, you might be able to switch to modtool.

i finally had made a mesh with your help.
thanks,i hope that my meshes will be good.

than ks to you very much

I can't find a place to download SimPE will someone help me?

I added the links to the first message.

YAY! my first mesh!!!!! (Picture Below)

i dont get this

Dogj1, sorry, you'll have to read it again. And actually sit down with the tools and *try* it. And ask an actual specific question if you get stuck on a step.

How do you install the BodyChop into Milkshake...I dont understand the directions.

Ok, I've finally made my first clothing mesh using the latest version of milkshape with the unimesh plugin and very happy to see it turn up in bodyshop, but I just have two question one is how do you fix the dark shadow at the bottom of the dress? second when I import the mesh to milkshape only 1 body show up. By the way I'm using the uni long formal dress.

Hey look....I when i open milkshape it tells me that i'm expired or something like that... What i have to do??????? :sadpanda:

Thanks for the tutorial.

I cant download tutorial!!!

I have the same problem with the arms, see the first picture is fine on the arms but it has a problem with dark shadow at the bottom of the dress, because I weld it together the second dress have the square arms, this one I did not weld together. Both meshes I made using the new version of milkshape with the unimesh plugin.
Any help with what I can do to fix this?

Did you make sure that autosmooth was turned off before you started? You should not see those seams with unimesh if you had autosmooth off. Do not weld anything.

Thanks! that must be the problem with the autosmooth being on. So it's been a lot of changes since this tutorial was made and with unimesh.
