ninja_lord666 Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Hmm...now I could be wrong, but maybe, just maybe the tutorial you're looking for might be in the tutorial section! Link ...moron... :dry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are such things as stupid questions. Despite what you seem to think, this is not one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagrant0 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Body meshes require a meshing program like Blender or 3dsmax. As for the creation of a new body shape, there's a reason why there aren't many tutorials, making a new mesh from scratch isn't something a novice can really pull off. It requires good mesh building skills without the use of primitaves, it also requires good UVW mapping skills, texturing skills, and weighting skills. Even taking an existing body mod, like Exnems and modifying it isn't exactly easy since you need to know how to retain the weighting, or reassign it. No matter what, you will need to have a good general understanding of the program before you can even edit something and make it work since the few tutorials that are out there aren't designed for people who are totally new to meshing.

Jumonji Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Um - I think you really want to recreate her face, not her body, right? By that picture, her body is pretty generic and her face is what's special. Well - not going to happen with the meshing tools. And the CS face editor is a lot harder to use than you can imagine. In fact, it totally sucks. Good luck anyway. Here's a tip with the face editor in the construction set: don't play with the numbers. Just use your right mouse button to drag the face parts around. Still a pain, but much easier to get what you want than trying the "intelligently linked" (NOT!) feature editors. -Jumonji Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShylaEighteen Posted December 27, 2007 Author Share Posted December 27, 2007 Thanks for all the POSATIVE replies. about the face construction in the cs i am very good with that and know how to make the face the way i want and what not. and about the reply about needing to be of an acceptable (mediocre or great) blender user, i am pretty talented at that. the biggest problem i have right now is getting files from oblivion, into blender and editing them. in the csw tutorials i do exactly what it says but when i try to upload a file from it, the file list(s) only have the file's of mods i have uploaded. so how do i get vinalla meshes and skeletons into the blender? any thoughts?

Blender won't help you in any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
