2 questions, Accessories pulling from skin & new meshgroups

[Ken Murikumo]

question 1.) can an accessory "pull" from a skintone, like the face texture or body texture like in this (http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=401468) tutorial?

question 2.) i know the answer lies in a metaphysical state between many tutorials but is not actually stated anywhere. How do you add multiple new meshgroups to something that normally only has one. Like adding a "shiny, dull, and alpha" group to... say a Servo, which normally possesses just a "body" or "mask" meshgroup.

CatOfEvilGenius's alpha skirt tutorial explains how to add mesh groups, but I don't know if that's what you mean. Do you want to add new groups to an existing mesh (like a Servo), or are you trying to make something new and custom?

[Ken Murikumo]

well, in short, I'm making a new servo. I need to add an alpha meshgroup and probably a shiny and dull meshgroup too. I've extracted the servo meshes and modified them, so in this case, i need to add new meshgroups to an existing model.

But having that info for making sim content in general would probably be helpful as well.

here is how you add new meshgroups to your existing outfit:
