Meshing without milkshape?

[Birdflight]

Can you create tsr workshop-compatible meshes without pay programs like milkshape? if so, are there any tutorials? :bunny:

Yes, there is some sims community support for Blender now, you could look at:
http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Tutorials:Creating_An_End_Table_In_Blender_2.5_Part_1
http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Tutorials:Creating_An_End_Table_In_Blender_2.5_Part_2
and
http://www.simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Tutorials:Setting_Up_Blender_2.5_For_TS3_Object_Creation

Although the TSRW native format does not support blender, someone appears to be working on a plugin for it. Also you can transfer a project or parts of it between TSRW and s3pe to work on it with each of the tools.

those seem to all be for furniture- does it also work for clothing?

[Inge Jones]

Yes you can do clothing in blender too, I know someone is doing that, but I wasn't able to find a link for you. I am sure someone else will post sooner or later with more help.

Unfortunately, there aren't any tutorials for using Blender to make clothes yet. Although the existing tutorial (for Milkshape) give you a general idea of what needs to be done: http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=CAS_Creation_With_Daluved1:_From_Start-To-Finish
