i think maya does a more detailed reading of uv maps which could be why big mesh crash the mesh tool

First, I haven't been here for a while, so I will try to answer as many questions as I can. Now that that's over with...

I have this problem on all of my meshes. It seems to be a problem with how SimPE renders light on the mesh. It should not be there in-game.

I hope that I am posting in the correct place, if not please forgive me.

I would like to make my own objects and I know that I need the Mesh Tool , the SimPE and the Cep. I am using MilkShape and need a tutorial on making object through the mesh tool with it. Where can I get an up todate tutorial on this or some help with it please.

Thank you

Hi I need a help..

I tried making new mesh bed several times but couldn't. Meshtool did not change GMDC of my new bed. (I have matched obj name and original one already.) I have give up make bed last days but find Bedframe importing tutorial today.

So, I found a factor of my problem. Please help.
When I load obj file with 'load 3d file' in "Edit an existing Mesh", meshtool does not show any popup massage like "Finished obj reading file number of models 1". It seems to meshtool can't read my obj files. I tried loading obj with another obj files but it still had no any response.
I can make new mesh objects with 'creat new mesh'. Meshtool can read new mesh obj. Modified bed frame obj is read in 'creat new mesh' too. what's wrong? I really want make new bed... :Puppy:

I use milkshape 1.7.4 and 3DS MAX 6.0. MeshTool version is 0.9.46.

Thank you.

:howdy:
Hi all,
I went to make some new objects and when I go to the Mesh tool sight it says,
you need "Delph's Sims 2 Mesh Extractor"

When I click were it says Here, it takes me to a screen that say,

you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?

Why is this and how can I get this tool?

Thanks.

You don't need it anymore. It's incorporated into SimPE. I've been seeing a lot of people asking this latelty because of old tutorials so someone really needs to update those tutorials. :p

that kind of thing sloud be done freqantly

Thank you, Motoki

does any one know how to export obj from maya that doesnt look like this when imported to mesh tool. please any help

Hi, I hope someone can help me here. I have a problem with my new texture. I made a new sink. I n SimPE preview, my new texture is showing, but the game shows the old one.(Not the thumbnail, it has the new one.) Any idea?

Here some photos to illustrate my problem. If've surched through the file and could't find what is wrong.I'm posting the file too. If someone can have a look ang tell me what's wrong, It'd be grait
Thanks
Nat

This looks like you did not triangulate your object. I don't know what the command is to do this in maya though.

Ok I'm pretty sure your problem is your Text Lists. Because this is a multi state object (clean/dirty) It lists the textures in the Text List : Materials (x88). These are refering to the original textures not your new ones. You need to modifiy them to use your new custom texture references. i think that should fix it. The rest of your package looked like it was linked correctly.

Hi,
I've change The name in texture list, and delete 2 lines in text list 03,04 roots clean and dirty and now my texture is showing fine...util i have an interaction with it, then the object turn flashing blue....
Thanks again
Nat

Dear pegy

Did remember to weld together? (in milkshape).
You should weld each 'group' under the 'group-TAB'
by them selves.

You need to "triangulate" your mesh. There should be an option in Maya, your just going to have to look for it. :p

Hi i hope this is the right place to post this.
i'm trying to start making meshes (i recently started making skins) so i went to download the mts2meshtool. i went from a link that appears in the simsresource site when ppl make new meshes. in the tutorial it says what i will need, so i downloaded all of that stuff, but when i click on "Delphy's Sims 2 Mesh Extractor
Here" it appears this : Bettie Cat, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?

did i do something wrong? can someone help me? i really want to make meshes
thanks

I would just like to say sorry that I haven't been around lately and haven't been helping people with their problems. I don't want to go into a lot of details but the reason is because my daughter has had some problems and had to have a operation, She`s now doing fine, but of course I haven't had time to spend on the mesh tool or helping people on here.

I do hope to start be able to spend some time helping people, and eventually to start working on the mesh tool again, but it`s not going to all happen over night.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I am still alive and all reports saying overwise are wrong.

bettycat, the main reason for this is with the new version of SimPE you don't need it, it automatically does it for you :P
*thanks whoever said this before me, I'm too lazy to look but the avatar is a picture with a nanny doing her business*

Thanks, Miche, I hope your daughter is fine again soon.

oh thanks lpfan
miche, hope your daughter gets well soon

Where and How do I get the Mesh tool....I've already downloaded the Mildshake 3D tool, but I've never been able to find the Mesh tool....I would be most appreciative if some one could tell me or give me the link to where I can download this tool.
Thank you

I wish someone would explain that the mesh tool is already included with SimPE (I didn't know and if it's there the thread is so big that it would take too long to read to find out) in the closed thread there were're not allowed to access. It would give the people whose running all over the place trying to get the tools together to try to make their own things for the game a lot less stressful.

Hi Miche I don't know you and you don't know me, but I know from what you explained that your going through a very stressful time and my prayers are with you and your baby.
