Altering a Custom Content Mesh-Is it Possible, and How?

<< < (3/3)

Angel_2365:
Thanks for all your help BlooM, but I figured it out myself, I built a new package using the same mesh, cloned the GMDC from the original, extracted it, edited it and replace the GMDC in my new one and it works great!

Raf:
I had the same question yesterday (I was altering a devil BB mesh from beos) I couldn't find the gmdc,shpe and other files right... of course it seemed strange to me that I should look in the sims06.package instead of the REAL mesh package.

As Bloom suggested I opened the mesh file (fortunately I remembered where I put it) and voila!! the 4 files ready to extract and finally I could modify it via Milkshape/unimesh.

Thanks Angel_2365 for asking, and, of course, BlooM for the answer!! Now, I finally have my first devil underwear!! when I finish the other parts of my project I'll upload them here.

Again, thanks from a very beginner body mesher (or wanna-be body mesher :rabbit: ).

BlooM:
Uhm Raf, thats far from the correct way.
The way you described is editing a excisting mesh.
If your are going to use those files you are going to mess up the originals.

-The correct way is to make a maxis recolor of a base game outfit
-Open Simpe and start a new package.
-Click Tools/PJSE/body mesh tool and extracting stage
-Browse to your recolor(in your saved simfolder)and open it.
-Now simpe will generate the necesarry files and those are going to be your new mesh package.
-click tools/object tools and fix the intigrity(name it like you want and click the update button.
-Save it as your new mesh

That is how you make a new mesh.......

The next step is to link that mesh to your recolor by either extracting the cres and shape files or by using the PJSE linking stage.

Then you can extract the gmdc and replace it with watever you want.

Hey Bloom, what is the gmdc file that I have to extract from simPE to edit and existing mesh?

BlooM:
when you open a excisting mesh you see 4 files.
The shape/Cres/GMND and the GMDC
Right click the gmdc.....
If you can not see wat is wat you have to move the tab's a little ;)
