Tutorials:Body Shop Meshing Clothing and Body Tutorials

Introduction

If you have never made a Body Shop mesh before, you MUST start with the beginning tutorials. Once you have successfully creted a body shop mesh, then you can continue on to these advanced tutorials.

What you will need

• SimPE
• A 3D modeling program - we HIGHLY recommend Milkshape with the Unimesh plugins. Free programs are available but simply will not do what Milkshape will do for its low price.
• Prerequisite for ALL Body Shop Meshing Projects: You MUST be an experienced creator of Body Shop recolours - that is, changing textures and alphas for clothing, hair, accessories, skintones, etc... These tutorials will not tell how to use Body Shop or make textures for your meshes... and the skills you learn through becoming extremely adept at making recolours/retextures/reskins of Body Shop content are -crucial- to being successful at creating new Body Shop meshes.
