Title: How to Make Infant clothing! Post by: ashleycsy on June 30, 2009, 01:11:36 pm Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this! But how do you make infant clothing and infant items?
Title: Re: How to Make Infant clothing! Post by: Theraven on June 30, 2009, 01:52:52 pm you mean meshing, or just recoloring? Two different things, you know :)
Meshing, SimPE, photoshop, bone assignments, default replacements that doesn't overwrite the originals... I'd recommend to start learning basic meshing first. Making body meshes isn't the easiest thing you can do - and it can easily go wrong. There are lots of beginner tutorials over at MTS2, and there are also a lot of tutorials here. You also need to be a bit familiar with SimPE, and also Photoshop (or similar) for the texturing part. I'm thinking about making a simple recoloring tutorial. It won't include making a new mesh - simply because I've not gotten that far myself yet. :) Title: Re: How to Make Infant clothing! Post by: ashleycsy on June 30, 2009, 07:42:18 pm Oh Ok! So when you make your clothing you use the recoloring process? That is what I want to do.
Where can I get SimPe from? Thaks! Title: Re: How to Make Infant clothing! Post by: Katie on June 30, 2009, 09:29:31 pm oh, i really need to know how to make my own recolors of things, especially infant clothes, that way i don't have to beg people to make them for me.
Title: Re: How to Make Infant clothing! Post by: BlooM on June 30, 2009, 10:45:12 pm While you can recolor toddler/kids/teens/adults and elder outfits with bodyshop you can not use it for infants.
Infant outfits(there are only 2 that came with the game) are custom made. You need Simpe for it. Best thing is to take one of my packages and edit the textures.

Post by: Katie on July 01, 2009, 12:14:43 am how exactly do i do this though?? is there a decent tutorial somewhere?? i have the intention span of someone my age (14), and the patience of someone younger. but i have the will, aptitude, and knowledge much higher than this, if that helps in choosing a tutorial that works... and if that sounds like bragging to you, i am sorry, that was not the intent, but i have read all the HP books several times each, it only took me one day in 3rd grade to read the 5th one (the longest) . just needed to point that out. PLEASE AND THANX! 1rock

She uses the basegame mesh wich i made a few replacements for. You find them here in case you want to use another one: http://www.insimenator.org/index.php/board,657.0.html (http://www.insimenator.org/index.php/board,657.0.html) Title: Re: How to Make Infant clothing! Post by: Theraven on July 01, 2009, 05:14:57 am ^ If you have Photoshop or another programme that lets you work with transparent layers, you don't need the alpha channel step. Just use a texture where the alpha parts are already transparent :). Also, using DX3 gives you a lot better result than DXT1.
