166  Retired Creators / Guest Bodyshape Add-ons / All Adult Maxis Bottom Seperates in Bodyshape Sizes on: April 21, 2007, 08:19:31 pm
After converting all the base game Maxis Adult bottoms over to bodyshape sizes, I thought I'd share them so that nobody else has to go through the pain. You'll need the Warlokk's bottom seperates sets in order to have the meshes you need. Not all size/design combinations are shown. I did not include the bottoms that Warlokk already included in his top seperates sets.  Suffice it to say that if it was a bottom seperate from the base game that Warlokk did not already make, it's in here.

I'll keep that in mind for when I start doing actual modifications in Milkshape, since I'm guessing that's where I'll run into problems with it.  I seem to be able to get away with it for just using these magnets and not checking the weld on import seems to give me side seams when I do it just through Mesh Tool.  Anyway, thanks for releasing the magnets. I'm well on my way to having all the adult tank tops in bodyshape sizes.

My neck seems to be fine.


Here's what works for me (Poser 7):
Import: I only check "Weld Identical Vertices" and "Make Polygon Normals Consistent"
Export: I only check "Include Figure Names," "Use Body Part Names..." and "Use Exact Internal Names..."
Meshtool: I unheck Import Normals

When I do all those, I get no side seams, my neck lines up, and I don't get those weird shadows on the hands and front of the neck.

I was just looking at Zenman's poser magnets thread and saw this note:

Quote from: Zenman
1. The Poser 6 object export function seems to do strange things to the poly order for the figure. This can result in loss of "smoothing" for certain polys, causing strange shadows to appear. I was able to solve this somewhat (but not completely) by importing into a 3D mesh tool (such as MilkShape), applying a smoothing function to the mesh, and exporting. You do not have to do this, but your figure may look a bit strange in Bodyshop and in the Sims2 game. Perhaps a 3D mesh expert out there can explain why this happens, or provide a better solution.

UPDATE: Dr. Pixel (below) recommends unchecking the "Import Normals" checkbox for the Sims2MeshTool in the Settings dialog. This would be done before importing the modified mesh (the first button). I've tried this and it does seem to solve the problem.


If this problem persists for me (using Poser 7), I'll try that and see if it works for me.  Otherwise I guess I'll have to download milkshape.  I let your know if that's the case, so that we can both not have this problem.

UPDATE: Yup, unchecking the import normals in meshtool fixed the issue for me.  My neck lines up, so it looks like I was successful. Whoo.

Seems to have worked for the top... sorta.  But my hands end up weird.  Gonna go through it again and see if the weld when importing is the culprit, since I followed Xeno's tutorial to the letter.

It does show up in the dials (for the Parameters of top), however if I delete the magnets, the morph disappears.

EDIT: OR, if I set it to 1, THEN delete the magnets, it stays.  I feel dumb now.

Thanks for the help.

Okay... I guess I need more help than I expected to need.

I exported a top mesh as top.obj, XYZ.  I imported it to Poser, then added in the magnet and I get what you see in my screenshot... the magnets nowhere near the chest.  How do I manuever the figure to get it where it needs to be? It's been ages since I used poser, so I'm rusty as all get out.  34A Top magnets, btw.

Planning to use Meshtool.

Thanks in advance

EDIT: Whoops! Okay, I have the model rotated right now. I just didn't read the posts in this thread carefully enough.  Next question (the stupid one): How do I actually apply the magnets?

EDIT: I had the magnets at the back instead of the front (had the wrong rotations), so now the magnets are showing their effect.  Hooray for solving my own problems, eh?

Quote from: Warlokk
Yep, once you apply the magnets, you go to the Object menu and Spawn a morph, then delete your magnets, and set the morph you created to 1. That will give you the shape you created, and also allows you to combine different ones.

Okay.. I get the figure roatate correctly, so that I see my 34A chest.  I then Objects...Spawn Morph Target and name it something.  Then I delete the magnets.  Then what does setting the morph to 1 mean? WHen I delete the magnets, it goes back to the old shape, and I'm not sure where I set this to 1.

Yeah, this has been a royal PITA. Hah.  I even debated re-starting all the collections so that all this clothing is in the same order as the Maxis catalog.  I also debated adjusting the sortindes on everything so that it appears in the "all" in that order. Then my brain started working again.

I have all the adult bottoms (thank you for doing all those meshes) done too, so those'll make an appearance here once I bother to take some screen caps.

Of course, after sorting them all into collections, I then cursed Maxis for not letting us use collections when buying off the clothes rack.

I don't suppose these are likely to work in Poser 4, are they?
