Title: NEW MESH: The Lean Bodybuilder Top & Bottom
Post by: SynapticSim on January 04, 2008, 01:53:38 am
ATTENTION LBB FANS:  There are new LBB Meshes available on my site SynapticSim's Lair (http://s11.zetaboards.com/SynapticSims_Lair/index/) with additional meshes made by Kielen at Kieda.net (http://kieda.net/wp/?cat=11).  I can no longer support the meshes located here as I have moved on to the second generation of the Lean Bodybuilder.  Please visit either of those sites for the new meshes.  Comments in these threads will not be seen as I don't frequent here as often as I used to.  Thanks!  ~ Syn

Introducing The Lean Bodybuilder Top & Bottom Meshes!

(http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m147/Synapse928/ScreenShot040.jpg)

At long last, here is the Top and Bottom mesh for the The Lean Bodybuilder (http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=68995).  I believe that these are required for attaching skintones.  I don't know how to do it, but if you do, Feel Free!  lol!

If you want Top and Bottoms as clothing, then you might find THIS (http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=71687) more useful, and more practical.

This work is strictly credited to Marvine (http://www.insimenator.net/member.php?u=5044) and BeosBoxBoy (http://www.insimenator.net/member.php?u=63) as I simply edited their exquisite SlimBB.  As such, their Mesh Policy (http://www.insimenator.net/announcement.php?f=57&a=26) applies.  Should you decide to use the mesh for your own creations, please feel free to include the mesh in with your upload provided that you credit the mesh in this order (Marvine, BeosBoxBoy, SynapticSim), and this order only.  Also, please keep the mesh free.  

Re-color Away!

MESH Statistics:

TOP

Polys:  1248
Vertices:  809
Fat Morph:  NO
Preg Morph:  NO

BOTTOM

Polys:  856
Vertices:  579
Fat Morph:  NO
Preg Morph:  NO

The Download below includes the mesh and a nude recolor of each.  If you aren't sure how to download this file, then read THIS (http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=11788).

Sorry for the picture, but "boolprop testingcheatsenabled true" wasn't working for me so I couldn't get the invisible bottom and top like I wanted.  :(

Yippee!!! There will soon be a shower-proof skintone! I know cajuncayenne is working on one, I'll get cracking too.:worship:

If anyone else wants to try, it's really easy with the color binning tool. Here's the tutorial: http://theos.chewbakkas.net/tutorials/tutorial-mesh-linking.html

Title: Misalignment between top + bottom
Post by: jwilson5 on January 13, 2008, 11:59:31 am
Tested these meshes on a skintone and discovered a misalignment between the top and bottom meshes where they meet.
(http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t147/jwilson5/LeanBB-mesh.jpg)

Needs to be fixed before applying to skintones. Marvine, BeosBoxBoy or Bloom can help you with this.

This is really strange because it doesn't show up that way at all in BodyShop.  If I changed the top to the SlimBB, then I get a gap very similar to what you pictured.  But with the LeanBB top and bottom, mine meet smoothly.

I'm about to go in-game and check it out.

The true nude state will not show in bodyshop.

The picture above is the elder male. I got to thinking and went back into the game and tried the adult male in the shower and he has NO mismatch. So its something to do with the elder male. I used the Theo binning method to assign these but that process is flawed. Will try reassigning the old method and test these again. I'll let you know.

Post by: jmtmom on January 13, 2008, 12:54:56 pm
Hmmm, I didn't notice any problems when I linked the meshes to a skintone. I'll have to check again, but I won't have much time today.

ETA: I'd like to know what hasn't worked with Theo's tool. I've used it lots of times with success, but I'd like to know if I've missed something (quite possible)...

I checked in-game and everything lines up fine for me.  But this mesh was developed specifically for adult males, not elder males, so I don't really know what to say about that.  I have no experience with assigning skintones, so I really don't have much help to offer.

Okay, I started from scratch with a maxis skin and added meshes from there using Theo's color tool and it worked this time. First time I started with an Athletic gal skin and maybe that caused a problem.

I have posted the showerproof Lean BB, Teen Lean BB and Athletic gal combo skins here:

rafaelluik, the muscles you are thinking of here are the external oblique running above the inguinal ligament - also part of the centre portion is comprised by the rectus abdominis and the internal oblique - believe it or not - in antiquity this feature of an athlete's body was called a "love handle", "Hercules' girdle", "lover's girdle", "Apollo's belt" or "hero's belt" -- it was only in 18th century Europe when this kind of body became associated with prisons and the peaants, that the upper class decided the fat rolls of the upper class were "love handles".  Modern people inherit the use "love handles" as a result of class envy, the emerging middle class began taking up the language and mannerisms of the fading aristocratic class, and we have a term "love handle" on modern use that bears nothing in common with it's origin.

It would be very difficult to make this shape work properly in The Sims 2, it would work fine on statuary, but in a an animated mesh it would probably never look right.  I would think it easier and better to make it a highlight of a skin tone.

this is a common problem for animated meshes - we can make perfection in the 3D model software, but it turns to absolute crap when animated.

rafaelluik, I think THIS (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=261288) skintone might have the effect you desire.  It's the most defined external oblique (thanx for the name Beos) I've seen on a sims skin.

Heey guys... How can I change the skin of a existing sim (custom skin)???
With SimPE??

Because I want use tbw, beosboxboy projects, this project nad others in existing sims and I can't!
And when my teens grow up the skin is unusable.
Thanks!!!!

AND THE SKINS CRATED BY JWILSON5 ARE RECOMENDED FOR USE???

Post by: BeosBoxBoy on February 10, 2008, 11:27:37 pm
rafaelluik, you will probably need to "shower-proof" the skintones first, then use SimPE to hack the sims - Wireless guy has a tutorial in the modding section here: http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=18184

Post by: rafaelluik on February 11, 2008, 09:20:40 am
About the muscle... I am talking about the rectus abdominis!!!

Beosboxboy I ♥ u!

Not exists an easy and less time way, like a download like insimenator dest?
