Title: Do I need a mesh?!
Post by: Nuga on November 08, 2006, 11:57:46 am
Dude, I just asked the most stupid question ever. And now I'll ask it again. Do I need a mesh? Where is the mesh? ...I won't ask what is a mesh, no. I probably should ask that too.

Okay so I started working on this swimming suit and I edited the alpha bmp file... does that now mean I need a mesh since I edited it? ...where the hell do I get a mesh... I started thinking this since when I re-loaded the project in BodyShop, it didn't show the swimming suit in the preview but some other clothing. @_o

Help me, slap me or marry me before I mess up my work.

I have my AIM (username; sweetannanicole) online by the way if you don't wanna try explain it here.

Well...it sounds like you've made a mess of things.  You must have grabbed the wrong alpha when you were doing you edit.  A recolor is just changing the texture file and saving it.  No way you'd get another clothing item replacing your file unless you altered the wrong alpha and saved it on top of the swim suit you were trying to alter.  If the outfit you want to change is showing up in BodyShop, you already have the mesh or else it wouldn't show up at all.  Try the process again and be very careful that the file you open in Projects is the same file you saved in BodyShop.  Good Luck.

-adds a picture-

It looks fine in the smaller previews and in the create-a-sim section but the bigger previews are all some other clothings. That's why I'm confused about it.

I'd probably need someone test it in their game but I don't know anyone here.

Oh that is a common problem in BodyShop when you make any underwear things.  For reasons known only to EA this occurs every time I reopen an underwear project and forgot to make it a casual outfit also.
