A HOT new surprise for your stressed out sims!
Hey guys I've been a way for sometime now and I'm back to let you know of a pet project I'm working on
Here's what I have so far;
I've managed to create a few new meshes and even new animation strings which can be implemented with the new mesh or Object/s I'm working on. I guess I could let you in on what they are ;)
1st New Mesh/Object is a working Jaccuzzi or Hottub with custom anims such as Jet proppelled water flow/bubbles ! Also I have somehow worked out how to export these from the programs I've downloaded/purchased from such as DAZ (but only subparts)Have to work on the kinks and stuff, I have been messing with Daz3d etc and found a way to export mesh files in Daz and transplant (for lack of a better word) them into sims3.package files!
But there IS a major bug when the sims exit the Hottub it crashes to windows! *Sigh* I might have to rethink this.
So far I've created bubble effects and added a new anim interaction to the Tub (Jaccuzzi) which is makeout (borrowed from the Maekout interaction on Sims) I've tested this ingame and I can say it was quite succesful! Apart from the crash when exiting tub of course!!.
And 2nd New Mesh Will remain a Secret until I've decided whether or Not to release it as a Beta Tester! BE PATIENT! xD
Mostly Animating it's quite easy as all you really have to do is "Borrow" Anims from the Parent directory! Like sitting on a chair etc So now the sims can easily be seated in the 'tub' and I'm thinking about other interactions too! I think you know what I mean! xD
WooHoo Anims might take some time though, have to delve deeper into that! As it wasn't my intention to create them ..yet! xD
I had a look at this amazing creation @ DAZ3D.com and it stunned me..Imagine we could have water so realistic and so vivid in TS3 as with this>> http://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/index.php?ViewImage=84955
Now Look @ This!
And THIS is OMG Fantasmic! If only.. If Only!
This is what I aim to do, I might be limited to only a few bugs but once they all get sorted I plan on uploading this as a Beta Tester for anyone <Man> Brave enough to try! Lol I wonder what crazy thing people will do with this once it's done? Of course I'm limited with what I have ( EA Style) but I can use this as my canvas on which to construct THE ultimate Jaccuzzi for Sims 3! If you understood what I meant good for you! lol I hope this WILL be possible for my sake as well as everyone elses!
IMAGINE! I think that shall be the Make/Model of the Jaccuzzi! YES! "The Imagine Pod" or something like that! XD lol it doesn't need to be Perfect just ~Working~
I think I have some ideas xD
Naughty and Nice flavours shall be available I.E 'XXX Rated' for the Erotic Sim who craves a spanking or two! and 'Pure of Heart Default' for the less Pervy minded..heh
If all goes well by the end of this week (after the weekend for those of us who NEED R&R) I should be able to upload the Beta!
Here's Just some of the programmes I'm using;
3D Studio Max Easy to use/understand from the get go.
Maya 6 I can really get into this one!
Blender (though I prefer Milkshape) It serves it's purpose.
I have a few others But they're not Retail they're made by other 3D Meshers etc
Now I'm off to Finish the Tutorials hopefully learning more in the process and pertaining to my goal of completing the "project".. Phew what a mouthful lol
Later and keep simming
