[TUTORIAL] Creating a posebox
Jan. 8th, 2015 01:21 pm2022 edit: Please note there are now better tutorials for this, for example BlueHeavenSims posing tutorial (search for 'Comprehensive Posing Tutorial')
I've been meaning to write this for pretty much months now but I couldn't bring myself up to doing it sooner. Anyway this is heavily based on Jasumi's Tutorial at Sim Oasis so a lot of credit for this goes to Jasumi. My main goal was to write this tutorial as simple as it just is possible so for those who are more familiar with the tools etc. this might feel like I'm thinking you're stupid. I simply wanted to give my best shot at making this so simple that everyone should be able to get a working box made on their first try.
Tools Needed:
1. making the poses in Milkshape
2. Putting the pose file together in SimPE and
3. Making the actual posebox.
We'll go over the pose making first since it's basically the simplest thing in this. (Honestly though it CAN also be the hardest part depending on what kind of pose you're trying to do) Also I've written this tutorial between making couple of different poseboxes so you might notice that for example the pose I made in milkshape is not the same pose as what I used in the example for the pose-file building and to complicate things further they also aren't the same poses in the posebox building part. (oops) but so without further ado...
( PART 1: MAKING YOUR POSES IN MILKSHAPE ) ( 2. Putting the pose file together in SimPE )And there it is, like hundred years late but at least it's finally done. I'll try to answer questions if somebody has them although I'm not sure how well I'd actually do at that, pretty much everything I know about this topic is already written in this tutorial and I tried being as thorough as possible. (well except the couple/group poses and using furniture/accessories in the poses part but I'm working on writing a tutorial about those too.) I'd also be happy to hear if somebody actually succeeds at making a posebox with this tutorial because then I'd know I didn't waste all those hours writing it out. ^^U

Tools Needed:
- Milkshape v1.8.0 or higher: Here (You can find Keygen here and I believe this serial should also work, it's the one I used back when I installed it pretty sure you can also find more of those if you google a little)
- SimPE (newest version): Here
- AniMesh Exporter: Here
- Sim Body with Skeleton: Here
