Title: Supernaturals
Post by: ranabluu on Jul 16, 2015, 07:31PM
Does anyone know how to get to the supernaturals in simpe and is willing to explain it to me as if I were a two year old........?  Please.....

What are you trying to do with them?

I was trying to change the eyes from red for the vampire to what for a simmer at Leefish.  I found a default replacement but the surrounding eye area was stretched.

Just those ones were stretched or did you find other replacements were too?

I know how to change skintones from simpe so I would imagine eyes would normally work the same way (though it's for -one- sim not a change for all), but being that they're supernatural I'm not sure if it would be different.

Everyone said to just use a default replacement....

I did that I got help from FanSeeLamb I figured out what I was doing wrong, hopefully the person that asked for them likes them this time.  I did it twice.  I see why I enjoy downloading more than creating.

You know I actually figured it out but FanSeeLamb set me straight and told me what I was doing wrong lol.

Lol, well glad they helped you sort it out :)
Title: Re: Supernaturals
Post by: ranabluu on Jul 29, 2015, 05:43PM
Yes.  I am use to copy paste but it was something a little bit more detailed.  The person I helped loved the eyes, that's really all that matters.  Now if I can just get this meshing thing down.
Title: Re: Supernaturals
Post by: yuichen on Jul 29, 2015, 07:38PM
Good, I'm glad they did :)

Are you trying to mesh a body or object?
Title: Re: Supernaturals
Post by: ranabluu on Jul 29, 2015, 09:39PM
Object.  I have not a clue about meshing.
Title: Re: Supernaturals
Post by: yuichen on Jul 29, 2015, 09:53PM
I am much more comfortable with body meshing, as long as it's on the simple side. Bone assignments can be a bitch.

I tend to stick to slight edits and simple conversions for objects, and I never do anything without a tutorial because I worry about messing up my game. I'd like to figure out slots so I could venture a little further, but it seems really over my head. Have you followed along the object meshing tutorial from start to finish on MTS? It's pretty helpful.

Yes I attempted to but of course I screwed it up.  I was trying to make a pair of skates from a 3d item I found online.  It didn't work.
Title: Re: Supernaturals
Post by: yuichen on Jul 30, 2015, 08:30PM
Aww, I bet you'll get it if you keep trying :)
Title: Re: Supernaturals
Post by: ranabluu on Jul 31, 2015, 05:02PM
You said the key word IF lol
Title: Re: Supernaturals
Post by: yuichen on Jul 31, 2015, 09:15PM
:P Well, you know... lol.

Speaking of meshing projects, someone contacted me to convert my Goodbye Lament (http://under-your-skin.com/?p=2781) and Lucky Scars (http://under-your-skin.com/?p=2773) swimwear for kids. They're gonna be so cute! ^_^
Title: Re: Supernaturals
Post by: ranabluu on Aug 02, 2015, 08:00AM
I can't wait to see that.  They are going to be cute.
Title: Re: Supernaturals
Post by: yuichen on Aug 02, 2015, 03:03PM
I wonder if they've done separates before. Maybe I could get them to convert the loose hoodies properly seeing that I botched it.
Title: Re: Supernaturals
Post by: ranabluu on Aug 02, 2015, 04:44PM
Is the person good at converting or is it for personal use.  If it were for personal use I guess  I wouldn't ask so maybe they are going to post them into the community.
Title: Re: Supernaturals
Post by: yuichen on Aug 02, 2015, 10:01PM
I assume she'll share them since she went through the trouble of asking me.
Title: Re: Supernaturals
Post by: ranabluu on Aug 02, 2015, 10:18PM
That will be nice.  I can't wait to see.  I recently asked someone if I could use their pictures and I have yet to make anything with them.
Title: Re: Supernaturals
Post by: yuichen on Aug 02, 2015, 10:26PM
Ah that reminds me :/ There's an artist I follow on my personal tumblr whose arts I wanted to use in game, so I asked for permission. I never heard anything :/

I still made them for personal use anyway, but it makes me sad that I can't share them because I love the originals.
Title: Re: Supernaturals
Post by: ranabluu on Aug 03, 2015, 09:38PM
I have a totally different mindset.  I would probably make them available if they didn't respond and when they did take it down.  I think if if it's available on the world wide web then it's shareable unless you paid for it.  It is better to get permission but.....
Title: Re: Supernaturals
Post by: yuichen on Aug 03, 2015, 11:25PM
I think part of the problem is that their first language isn't english. Doesn't mean they couldn't use google translate to get the gist if it though. I figured their silence was a no.

Other people I have contacted in the past had no problem with it at all. I always give credit so I don't see the harm... I'm sending people to potentially buy their stuff. Anyway, this is the site: http://rafapasta.bigcartel.com/ (they have a tumblr too).
Title: Re: Supernaturals
Post by: ranabluu on Aug 04, 2015, 10:50PM
OMG those pictures are amazing.  I would love to have them in my game or home in real life.
Title: Re: Supernaturals
Post by: yuichen on Aug 05, 2015, 11:45AM
Right?! When our renovations are finished I plan to get a couple and hang up. And stuff from this person (https://www.etsy.com/listing/110499712/dave-grohl-foo-fighters-nirvana-seattle?ref=favs_view_17) because I love the colorings.

I also really love things printed on old dictionary paper too.
Title: Re: Supernaturals
Post by: ranabluu on Aug 05, 2015, 06:40PM
Those are cool as well.  Very cool.  I like the prints on the book paper as well. I think I found a way to do that, I just don't have a printer.  I think you could do the book paper ones and put them on a disc and have them printer at a print shop location.
Title: Re: Supernaturals
Post by: yuichen on Aug 05, 2015, 07:05PM
That sounds like a good idea :)
Title: Re: Supernaturals
Post by: ranabluu on Aug 08, 2015, 09:08AM
Yes well that's what I think in my mind lol.  I have seen a lot of them like old dictionary pages with people or themes posted on them so I am sure someone is doing something the easy way lol.
Title: Re: Supernaturals
Post by: yuichen on Aug 08, 2015, 11:09AM
Lol no doubt.
Title: Re: Supernaturals
Post by: ranabluu on Aug 08, 2015, 07:16PM
I would try it at work but my area only prints in black & white which literally defeats the purpose. :)
Title: Re: Supernaturals
Post by: yuichen on Aug 09, 2015, 02:39AM
Lol yes, quite!
Title: Re: Supernaturals
Post by: ranabluu on Aug 09, 2015, 08:51AM
My office is moving and I think we are getting a color printer/copier so I might give it a whirl.  I am not a big print person.
Title: Re: Supernaturals
Post by: yuichen on Aug 09, 2015, 04:36PM
Oh cool. If you try it, let me know how it goes :)
Title: Re: Supernaturals
Post by: ranabluu on Aug 12, 2015, 07:40PM
I will definitely let you know.  I will be leaving next week to go home for a few days so I might not get on the pc while I am there.  But that's not for a few days.
Title: Re: Supernaturals
Post by: yuichen on Aug 12, 2015, 10:58PM
I'll be away too actually, starting Saturday night. Hope you have a good time back home :)
Title: Re: Supernaturals
Post by: ranabluu on Aug 14, 2015, 10:04PM
Enjoy your vacation.  I should enjoy being home.  Bad thing is I am taking the cat, lol.  He whines soooooo much in the car but he needs his shots.
Title: Re: Supernaturals
Post by: yuichen on Aug 15, 2015, 01:05AM
Aww, poor unhappy kitty. My cats are pretty vocal about it too.
Title: Re: Supernaturals
Post by: ranabluu on Aug 16, 2015, 05:26PM
Lately he's been trying to hold more conversations with me and I am like what do you want or need and he just walks off.  He's a nut.
Title: Re: Supernaturals
Post by: yuichen on Aug 17, 2015, 09:00PM
Mine does too! I thought it was mostly because he's on the old side.
Title: Re: Supernaturals
Post by: ranabluu on Aug 17, 2015, 11:06PM
I think it's because they are a little on the crazy side.  He's only three so age isn't the problem.
Title: Re: Supernaturals
Post by: yuichen on Aug 19, 2015, 10:46AM
Lol, could be! :P
Title: Re: Supernaturals
Post by: ranabluu on Aug 24, 2015, 07:42PM
It's definitely in their DNA to be crazy.
Title: Re: Supernaturals
Post by: yuichen on Aug 24, 2015, 11:37PM
He's still pretty clingy but I don't mind. At least he's not being super mouthy, which is exactly what I expected.
