Dazed and Confused about Body Shapes
EKozski:
SynapticSims has lean bodybuilder for male and female. I think those are for teens....You'd have to look under his mesh catagory.

Thanks for all the help. I'm having a much easier time finding what I want. I have another question though. When I downloaded the trenchcoat conversion for the Bodybuilder on GSC2, it came with these installation instructions from bobrunlille -

Within this Zip you will find three files as follows:
1:Mesh_Ju_Beos_trenchcoatpantboots180106.package
2:Ju_beos_trenchcoatpantbootsblack.package
3:ambodytrenchcoatpantsboots_tslocator_gmdc.txt
Before installing you need to do this:
Make a copy or download from the inseminator http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=2364
MESH_Ju-Beos_barbienude240705.package
Open it with Simpe
Select the geometric data container with the plugin View
in the folder content\cGeometryDataContainer click on Import
Select ambodytrenchcoatpantsboots_tslocator_gmdc.txt
under MilkShape 3d ASCII Importer(*.txt)
A window will open: Mesh Group Importer
In Group Settings select Rename and name your import: body_alpha
this is very important
then click OK
After You need to click on Commit
Then you have to extract the modified geometric data container in a folder you create for this use ,Select the geometric data container click right on your mouse and select extract
then close the package, dont save it
Now Open Mesh_Ju_Beos_trenchcoatpantboots180106.package
Select the geometric data container click right on your mouse and select replace
choose the file you just have extracted
On the window ressource changed clik yes
Then click commit
Go on tool\objects Tools\fix integrity
Click ok
and save your package,
Now you can put both
1:Mesh_Ju_Beos_trenchcoatpantboots180106.package
2:Ju_beos_trenchcoatpantbootsblack.package
in your download folder
I don't know exactly what that does, but I follwed the instructions and it worked - the bodybuilder trenchcoat shows up in Body Shop so I can recolor it to match the set of Quidditch Robes I have for the regular shaped sims. But I found another mention of that with a clothing conversion done by wirelessguy for an ambulance driver outfit - he noted that the technique used was from bobrunlille. In reading through the comments on the trenchcoat thread, bobrunlille said he didn't actually do a mesh for the trenchcoat - he used this technique in SimPE.
So my question is - will this technique work for any clothing mesh? If it will, is there a tutorial that explains it in more detail anywhere? I'm not sure where bobrunlille got the three files included in the download if he didn't actually make a mesh himself. I didn't have any trouble with those instructions so I'm hoping I can use that technique to convert some of the clothing that I already have to fit these body shapes - I just need more detail to be sure I don't screw something up.
Thanks

These instructions are apparently to make a mesh consisting of a nude body wearing a trenchcoat from two separate pieces, the trenchcoat mesh with pants and boots, and the nude body mesh. He downloaded the trenchcoat mesh from another source, apparently no longer available, so he's redistributing it. I'm not 100% sure why you need to do this manipulation to the trenchcoat file before you recolor it. Someone more mesh savvy than I am will have to answer that.
Unless this post was intended as a tutorial, I'm not sure why bobrunlille didn't perform the operation himself and offer just the result as a download.
I don't think this will help you convert other Maxis sized meshes to fit the various Bodybuilders -- both meshes were already scaled to body builder size -- for that you need Milkshape to manipulate the meshes to body builder sizes, and that's no small job.

Well, what he said in the post for the trenchcoat was that the bodybuilder mesh - the one by marvine and beosboxboy - could not be redistributed without their permision so this technique was his way around that. Even when beosboxboy commented in the thread that he could, he said without marvine giving permission as well he couldn't redistribute their mesh. I think beosboxboy fixed it so you could just download it and install it, but I couldn't find a link to the fixed version so I just followed his instructions.
There were other comments in the thread about the technique being used and wirelessguy apparently used this same technique to convert a Maxis mesh to the bodybuilder shape - no details on how he did it. Best I could understand, they were using this technique to create a second body alpha mesh to stack over the nude bodybuilder mesh. I don't fully understand it so I was hoping someone could explain it or that maybe there was a tutorial for it.
ETA -
I found what I was looking for - at least I think I did. Body Shop has decided to give me problems tonight and not open so I can't check to see if this showed up in the catelog. Anyway, bobrunlille did a conversion for the Graduation Outfit for the Bodybuilder at GSC2. This is the same outfit that mia86 used as the basis for her robes for males and females from child through adult. How difficult is a conversion like this and/or has anyone else done conversaions for the graduation outfit for any of the bother bodybuilder meses - i.e. the Lean Bodybuilder, Bodybuilder Girl or the Teen Male Bodybuilder?
