HBB V.2 - detailed feet - underwear: briefs - IMPORTANT MESH UPDATE 16-04-2008

[homerette]

It's just amazing how much better perfection can get with detailed feet.  Thank you!

Yes, this mesh looks incredibly hotter now! Thank you!

Thanks again Marvine. I also am glad it's a new mesh. With all the fantasy type recolors, it could have caused problems. Now almost all my sims have great feet between you, BlooM and Warlokk, I have a new level of realism.

Quick question - and forgive my ignorance here, but do the recolours of the previous HBB undies/swimwear and suchlike work with the new feet meshes?  If not, is there a simple way that me (with no meshing skills at all!) can convert them.  I'vegot some wicked recolours that I'd hate to lose.

Tweeter,

I'll admit that I already converted all my favourite recolours, but I can't share on the behalf of the creators

If you have some knowledge of SimPE and a recent version of the program, the conversion is easy enough:
- open the recolour file in SimPE, then highlight the "3D ID referencing file" line in the resource list;
- select the "tools" drop-down menu on the top of the screen, then PJSE > Body Mesh Tool > Linking stage and browse to the mesh (you may beforehand put a copy of it temporarily in a place where you'll find it easily), then follow the really easy instructions
The whole process takes less time than loading SimPE - but make sure that you use the right mesh!

Actually, you should be able to do this fairly easily in bodyshop. Gothplague has a tutorial here: http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=41045

It's the easiest way I know of. I've begun already. Skintones are trickier though and need fiddling with to get the toes right.

Marvine and jmtmom thanks a lot for your help and advice.  Think I'll try the Bodyshop thing first, and if I have no joy with that I'll give SimPE a go.  I think I've had a look at this before (or maybe it was Milkshape?) and it's not for the newbie and faint of heart!

Very Cool Thanks!  Did I understand you correctly, recolors of the original meshes will work with the new V.2 meshes?

[marvine]

Diggrdude,

they will work if converted following one of the methods explained above.

Well, my preference for the SimPE method is due to the fact that I'm able to re-link a bunch of files in SimPE during the time it takes to just load Bodyshop :lol:

Thank you very much

Allthough I'm not using the HBB but the slim and the lean, I can't help keeping an eye out for your work in any area, cause I find that your are a very gifted creator. These looks just stunning, and I do agree - they look as they should have been there all the time. Awesome work Marvine! Hope you will feel petty and have mercy on the slim and the lean bodybuilder and the athletic girl as well and let them have these wonderful feets in the near future.

[Diggrdude]

Thank you again Marvine!  The HBB with detailed feet is so wonderful, I have to give this a try.  But, I'm with Tweeter; I get very confused in SimPE and the other modding applications.  Although it's probably slower, the BodyShop instructions are more in my comfort level.  I've recorded your SimPE instruction for a time when my confidence is higher or the Body Shop method doesn't turn-out right!  Thanks again and again!

WOW Fantastic! Thank you so much.
