Tools of Doom ep. 1 - Sharpie markersSome of you may already know that I'm doing lots of traditional sketches - I'm posting them on my blog (art-of-voyager.blogspot.com), on my instagram (voyager212) and to my facebook (Maciej Rebisz).More Like This
I got some questions about tools I use so I've decided to create short articles explaining techniques and tools I use. Ok, so let's start, here's a quick review of Sharpie markers.

Then I opened the ".package" file downloaded from a sims2 site.
------Getting the 3D body---------
To extract the 3d body you need to use a sim2 package with a mesh file in it.
Click on the list of files that says GMDC, and on the lower left check all the parts in that box that says "Generic Rcol Editor"
Click on preview to see a small image of what it looks like.
Then click "Export" and use DirectX Exporter. Then import the x file into PMDeditor. I think you need to scale it "x10" to see it, not sure though. But yeah. Then you just need to assign the materials.
------------Getting textures--------------
Open the package containing the textures you want.
Scroll down on the left and select "Texture Image"
