Advice on converting teen to adult mesh?
IronBeard:
I recently requested information about an adult female full body mesh which it turns out doesn't exist except as a teen mesh.
In short, I would like to know how easy or difficult it would be to make the conversion from teen to adult.
I've never worked with meshes at all and, apart from this possible project have no wish to nor satisfactory resources.
I'm okay up to a point with SimPE, but I've never used MilkShape (which I assume I would need).
To confound matters further, I'm on a Mac, so any time I need to use SimPE I have to ferry files back and forth between my wife's Windows PC, plus I'll need her permission and assistance to install another application that she herself never uses.
Given the above impediments, do you think it's a feasible task to set myself and, if so, can anyone suggest a very simple tute that deals specifically with such a conversion? Feel free to tell me to forget about it; after all, my copy of Black Ops should arrive this weekend, so it's not as if I'm desperate for something constructive to do.
FYI, the mesh I want to convert is the Warlokk/Bloom MillaJ teen full body default size with toes (the only adult full body has block feet).
Thanks

This is a great starter project ;)
And you do not need to convert the teen to adult, you can use the adult nude top and my default replacement.
You can open both meshpackages with Simpe, right click the gmdc and save it in a folder.
Those 2 meshes(gmdc) you can open in Milkshape
-import the bottom first
-import the top(do NOT import additional bones!! (Do import the morph's if you want one)
-Go to the groups tab and select both the top and bottom, then regroup them together
-Rename it to body
-Go to the comment box and delete the lines(i think the last 5) of the top and change the name ''bottom'' into ''body'' in the 1st line
-Hide the new fullbodymesh
-Copy the morphname of the bottom
-Select both the bottom fatmorph and the top fatmorph, then regroup them together
-Rename it back to the correct morphname(right click and past)
Do the same for the pregnant morph
export your file.
This is quickly explained, prolly forgetting things but there are tons of tutorials that do it step by step.
hmmm, reading your post in the request section there is a easier way...
Ill save you the trouble of making a package and using Milkshape
*Open the meshpackage from the milla fullbody with blockfeet with Simpe
*Right click the gmdc, choose replace
*browse to the afbodynakedHI-34ax34_MillaJ and import it(downloadlink below)
*click commit
*Save
IronBeard:
Ah, that's how it's done, combine the top and bottom! Your explanation is very clear, Bloom - I think even I might manage that when I have some time.

Well, I guess this file should replace the block feet with sexy ones, but unfortunately poor Milla's legs are now invisible below the knee. I've followed your instructions (in fact I've done it three times now in case I had made a mistake) but every time the effect is the same: legless Milla. Is there something else I need to do to get it to work?
Anyway, thank you very much Bloom for taking an interest in all of this, I really appreciate your efforts
BlooM:
Oops, my mistake.....
forgot to rename the feet meshgroup....

Beautiful! Thank you so much, Bloom. I think maybe this should be uploaded at ISA as an alternative Milla J nude, I'm sure there must be some who'd appreciate seeing your feet on Milla's body (ooer!).
I was interested to see something of the files that make up a mesh like this; can I ask you, does the GMDC typically contain the lower leg/feet? And what is the purpose of the other files: GMND/CRES/SHPE? I presume one contains the hips and another the top.
Sorry to be a bother, just curious is all.
Thanks again for your help on this.
