i like it as a still image but i havent been able to figure out real moving water. i cant find a decent looped perlin noise video for an animated material so i tried making it just go up and down but it looks like crap </3 . chrome color material i love you . i need more water. i need my beach scenes i can spend hours in the material editor .. drools

upgraded to version 6 bc now theres better stuff for animation !! i can animate faces with subdivisions and animated verticies!! yay !!! yahoo!!!!!! ! !

Dinobot sim died a month ago but I forgot to post it. H died because he starved to death. I was doing laundry in real life and I thought i closed the game, but i didnt so he just stood in a corner. His roomate wayward vagabond was at work when he died and he was really sad .im heartbroken 💔 he read at least 3 books and constantly fought with the neighbors. He went to a birthday party and tried to sleep in the owners bed but passed out later. He turned into an urn. He trolled forums online but he got angry when he did that because he hated using computers and hated mischief. I deleted the game afterwards cuz it kinda sucks in general. sims 2 is wayyyy better I just gotta figure out how to mod them in

does anyone else see it. wnat did thay do to my chud. stop looking at me like that go away

the topology looks really dense but its needed to render the bevels in the way i want. maybe ill do a tutorial on it idk

Please

going by the file age as the date. Found off the CD included with the Inside Truespace 4 book.

theres a LOT more images in this book, but most of them are only printed in black and white, dont have files on the CD, and are small. Theres also a bunch of .avi files of animations, but r*ddit wont let me upload all of them, so idk where to put them. one of the reasons i dont like reddit lol. maybe when im free ill try to scan my phone, i found some app that can scan to pdf but the book is over 600 pages long so its gonna take a while

book is labeled as written by Frank Rivera on the cover and in listings, but a bunch of other people made the book and these renders. Theres a few more i think but 20 is the max image count. images named off the files from the CD and artists also named

haha golden disk like uhhh

i dont even want to make "retro" renders my laptop just kinda sucks and will burn alive if i use anything modern. i like ts4 but it doesnt even have subsurface shading and i dont know how to recover old download links to shaders

their textures are really hard to recreate </3 why does rattrap have a skin texture on his legs and then a muscle texture that alternates between gradient directions on his thighs and calf . who decided this. he looks beautiful but who made it so complex

im using the sculpt tool and deform lattices now iyts so much better

what im using: sims 2 legacy edition(not steam, not really sure what version it is tbh), the modern version of bodyshop than can run with sims 2 legacy from mts, sim PE (version 0.77.69.28[QA]), milkshape 1.8.4 with sims 2 plugin installed i think?(not sure i just unzipped the plugin from mts to the milkshape folder in my program files)

Every time i look though sims 2 cc mesh tutorials, it just tells me to extract them, so i do that. I get the .simpe file, but i dont really know what to do with it. i think im supposed to import it into milkshape, but i dont know under which importer. yt tutorials are really old and dont explain it well. do i have to convert the file to some other format? afaik there arent any modern tutorials for sims 2 cc meshing. please ,, </3 i just wanna make my silly robots in the sims 2 (the better game) ill gladly give more info but i probably wont respond right away

i juts wanted to test the pacing hes so silly looking

**😭**son😭😭😭😭i think youryre in the wrong timeline 😭😭

im trying to weight paint a full body cc outfit to i can cosplay some creatures. Im not making bendy weight paints because i know that no matter what its going to bug out horribly, so im making them solid and segmented as if they were a bunch of accessories. even though it looks fine in blender every time i try and export it to s4s, bends really weirdly in CAS and regular gameplay. does sims4 apply weights to some places even if you didn't paint it that way?? i make it so that each object on the joint moves as if it was just attached to the bone, there shouldnt be any bending. The bottom body segment does cover where the leg should be, but i weight painted it so it shouldn't attach to the leg.

The only other mod i have is a cc pack that makes parts of your sim invisible which i need because otherwise i would have weirdly textured human feet and heads on some of my sims.
