UPDATE 30-12-2006: enabled for teen through elder.

So, here's the adult male, with 4 textures mostly made by Beosboxboy; the rar file includes the mesh and the recolours.

The mesh is included in the RAR. The mesh may not be redistributed without permission. Please link back to this thread for the mesh and give credit. Recolours may be posted on any site; however because of the nature of Maxis exchange you may not use this mesh for any Sim you upload to Maxis Sims 2 Exchange.

Pictures featuring Adian the, erm, punk biker by Kavar, and I also used Kavar's bunny ears mesh. Because I could. Oh, and the skintones are Beosboxboy's, and the tattoos also by Kavar.

Note: the video is slowed down a little to give a clearer view of the animations.

If you have any interest in body meshing and Wes_h's Body Chop plugins, read Wes_h's post on MTS2, and maybe add your 2 cents on the Chumbalum forums (link on the post)!

Until a more complete version of Mikshape is released, this is the best hope for solving some very frustrating issues with these plugins, which are until now limited by Milkshape's own limitations - and still manage to be the best available tool for creative meshing in my opinion.

Once more, I advise you to jump on Wirelessguy's section for many great recolours!

Thank you again Jeff, for all your work...:cheers:

Something a little more formal...

The picture below isn't representative of the possibilities for this mesh: check out Wirelessguy's section for his varied and beautiful recolours and you'll see what I mean!

If you have a previous version of the top, replace it with this one: there was a serious issue with the uv-map - sorry, that was my first mesh... :oops:

Now you'll be able to fully enjoy the beautiful and countless recolours available on Wirelessguy's section...

UPDATE 070-01-2006: fixed an issue with the top and bottom nude meshes, there was a thin gap at the waist that I didn't notice first with my old graphics card; you should re-download the MESHES_athlete_nude.rar, the files will overwrite the former ones.

If you have a previous version, replace it with this one: there was a serious issue with the uv-map that needed to be fixed.

Just the four Maxis skintones for now, linked to the athlete mesh so he keeps his bodyshape when nude. Don't forget to download the needed specific meshes!

I also uploaded the nude clothing - the mesh is included in the .rar file.

Wirelessguy uploaded versions using Beosboxboy's skintones HERE!!

Anyway, you can make your own recolours of these; the improved uv-map allows the use of every skintone I know about.

If you downloaded the original version, replace it with this one: there was a serious problem with the uv-maps that needed to be fixed. Well, that was my first body mesh and I simply didn't know there was such a thing... :oops:

Anyway here is the underwear: very basic textures to say the least, but you'll find all you could dream about on Wirelessguy's section - I'll never thank him enough for his amazing work...

This mesh supports the fat and pregnant morphs.

So what? I like boots.

Two versions, each in 3 colours:

- bottom, with a full body texture, so you can combine it with any skintight top,
- full body, nude top only, also available in formal wear.

It seemed those were needed, so here they are!

The textures were edited from Maxis, so no other credit this time. Just thank you to my beta-testers...

Note to possible recolourers: the uv-map is a little special, so i joined a transparent .png  to use as a layer.

Well, these don't get along too bad with the previous uploads, so...

UPDATE 01/01/2006 - fixed a small bug on the nipples + navel piercing mesh; the nipples uv-mapping was a little off.  I uploaded the mesh separately for those who already have the textures, it will overwrite the former one.

UPDATE 11/16/2005 - collar as an accessory item available: http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=2410


UPDATE 11/11/2005 - now 4 versions: without piercings, 1 nipple ring, 2 nipple rings, and a new mesh by Beosboxboy adding a navel piercing to the 2 rings top;
The rings come in 6 metal colours, plus one egyptian inspired texture and 3 goth see-through tees, all by Beosboxboy.

I also added the collar as a top, including the piercings.

The uv-map works with most skintones, including maxis, Allan Akbar's, and Beosboxboy's.

New mesh again!

All my thanks go to Sgoobysnacks29 (http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/simillion_homes_2/) and Beosboxboy, who made a bunch of recolours when the mesh was still warm from the oven, and once again to Metalfenix from MTS2...

You'll probably notice a shading problem on the lighter recolours, I'm sorry about that but there's nothing I can do - I reached the limits of the tools I'm using.

UPDATE 01-01-2006: I fixed a small uv-mapping problem on the mesh, meaning texture overlapping with some bottoms. The fixed mesh in included in the "ju-beos_jacket1.rar" file, and I also uploaded it separately for those who already downloaded it; it will overwrite the previous version.

These have been in my projects folders for a while, high time I upload them!

Textures by Beosboxboy and me, and one more great recolour by Metalfenix from MTS2.

And a big thank you to my two delicious models...  

UPDATED 7-Nov-2007: hoplaa was kind enough to point out a problem with the normals that had previously excaped detection because it was covered by the texture, a correction was made and a new version of the mesh is now available.  You need only download the MESH file if you have previously downloaded these files.

One more brand new mesh, and more beautiful recolours by Metalfenix from MTS2, Sgoobysnacks 29 at Simillion homes, and Beosboxboy...
