You do the eyes separately, as an eye recolour. Which is something one should likely have done before they get here, as eyes are much easier than this technique.

Please do not double-post. Edit your post if you have something to add or change.

Sorry about the double postings. I am new here and am not sure how to work everyhing yet. lol. The thing is, when I did the sculpture, I was not suer where to find the sim that I cloned. That is where i got confused.

This is very helpful, HP. I just found this because I've been itching to make better sims of the band Interpol. Thanks.

It looks like the other tuts are up yet or no one has written one. Google it if you can't find it here or elsewhere.

But this is confidential/you're the one to blame

Make sure you are opening the BMP image not the package, can you show me a pic?

lexielex Test Subject Join Date: Jun 2007 Posts: 1	your insturstions are the BEST ive read and this is my first time doing something like this and i think ive done ok soo far but like i jus get confused here and there when using the photoshop and somethings in your instructions but one thing im really confuse on is what you are saying here like i have no idea how i saved but i know i did it wrong because it wont show up when i did the thing with the circle/arrow thing but then by accident i imported the to the game and i then i went back and just used the same skin tone that i used to make face but do u think you could help me! sorry if im asking to much but i would really appreciate it if you could help me?!?! "Then, save your image over the original .bmp file you opened in the YourProjectName folder. Photoshop will try to save as a copy - make sure you take out the " copy" part of the filename to save over the original. It'll confirm that you want to overwrite it. Then switch over to Body Shop and reload the textures (the little circle arrow next to the box to enter text) to view your edited texture. Now, you're viewing on the default Body Shop mannequin rather than the face of the person you're trying to sim"

Sephirayne Lab Assistant Join Date: Apr 2007 Posts: 70	Great tutorial. I've been trying to figure out hoe to do photo reskinning for a while this was a great help. The only problem I'm having is that my new skin/face isn't showing in Bodyshop. I'm using PaintShopPro6. It has all the tools that you have sugguested and I've managed to create the face. I do want to check it in bodyshop before I go any further but it won't show up. Instead I get a default sim with the lighter skin tone but a default face. I've made sure that the file is saved as a .bmp but it still won't show. I'm having a go at making Jason Isaacs/Lucius Malfoy. I've done his eyes now I want to do the face. The pic below is a resize of a high res pic I have. S xx Screenshots

I have the same problem as him/her. I went through all the steps and did everything correctly I'm sure of it. But the skin just won't show up in Bodyshop. Instead I get a default sim with a darker skin tone but a default face.
Can someone please help me?

jj1973 Test Subject Join Date: May 2005 Posts: 16	Ok. This tutorial was a bit hard to understand at points. I did not get my face to show up in bodyshop, also, it referred to a tool from photoshop that I just could not for the life of me find. lol. Which was the polygon tool. Could not find that anywhere. lol. So I just decided to skin it my own way and got everything to work. This is my FIRST Sim creation, so for a first time, I do not think I did that bad. I made one of Mandy Moore. I know I will get better as I go along, and her face is so differently shaped, and she has so many different expressions and does not look the same in every photo so she is not the easiest to create. But I did it, and I think she came out pretty good for a first time. Let me know what you guys think.. TC, JJ

I left him aside because I wasn't sure how to advance any further. Now the tough part will mainly be to find GOOD pics. I tried the links provided but all I could find were female hotties and celebrities. That's not exactly what I'm looking for. Pics as big and clear as yours are kinda rare on the web, but I suppose it's still possible to work from snapshots taken from movies. That's what I'm trying to do right now. Anyway, thanks for this one, HP.
