CANDYNATURALS - a tutorial

So… I didn’t intend to share this bc it’s a bit messy to explain, but here’s for the anon that asked!

Open S4S and pick “Add CAS Part Swatch”, then select the hair you want to recolor. IMPORTANT: they must be EA color palette
press ctrl+shift+c, then type studio.exportall
in the created folder (yournameResources), keep the .png files called Swatch_X_Diffuse_1 (X being numbers between 1 and 18), delete all others
Open the textures 1 and 3-10 in GIMP
recolor according to this list (follow hex codes), export your files to Swatch_X_Diffuse_1 with X being the new CN-swatch number (Tip: keep a copy of the original EA textures 1 and 3-10 somewhere else, just in case)
import candynatural color swatch palette (get from my recolored hair)
press ctrl+shift+c, then type studio.importall

you are free to do anything you want with this palette, but I’d be grateful if you:

make add on swatches, not stand alone recolors (to keep CAS clean)
link downloads adfly-free and non-profit (mesh and recolor)
tag your recolor with #candynaturals so people can easily find as many recolors as possible
tag me in your recolors so I can reblog you!

If you have any further questions, just send me an ask :)

kingwendoline asked:

this is a noob question: how do you add color swatches to CC hair instead of it being a standalone, for example like when you recolor CC hair you add on your natural palette to the hair and not make it a standalone. I'm new to recoloring hair and I hope I make sense. :\

Hey @kingwendoline,

it does make sense :) so when you make your recolor file, instead of “Create CAS Standalone” you pick “Add CAS Part Swatch”

I prefer this over the Standalones, because then I have less icons in game. And the recolors still work even if you use “embed cas references” and take out the mesh ;0

Hat Chops

Hat chops take some preparation and practice, then they are quickly done. This is how I do them.

Important: If your hair texture is mapped on the hat area, you do not need to make hat chops because the hair texture will go over the hat (srsly, try to avoid that. many accessoires like bags are mapped on the hat area too.)

Remapping Hair

Mashing multiple EA-meshes together, will mess up the texture of the hair. To fix this, the easiest is to remap all hair parts to the same diffuse map.

psa: if you (still) wanna download content from simsdom now that they’re blocking those with adblock...

enter the word cache: (with the colon) before the url. you’ll be taken to a cached version of the site that doesn’t have the annoying adblock pop up.

iirc, this works with most sites that use google adsense bc google needs to be able to periodically crawl the site. if the cc site is hosted on a blogspot, it absolutely does work. in fact, this is a great way to browse sites (esp news sites) without intrusive ads or messages telling you to take off your adblock

enjoy!

Pose tutorial // My little tricks

Ok so first off, this is not a tutorial for beginners. If you’ve never made poses, you will not understand this. I’m assuming you know the basics of blender, making a pose and how to use s4s.

This is just a compilation of a few tricks I’ve developped over the years that have made pose making easier for me and that I haven’t seen in other tutorials (mind you, I haven’t watched all of them so some of this might be repetitive to you, or maybe you already found out a few on your own). And I just want to specify, this is just my methodology, it does not mean it’s the best way to do things, or that doing it another way would be wrong. This is just the most comfortable way for me to make poses.

Here a list of already existing tutorials that I’ve learned from/find useful to know, + some resources:

Pose making for beginners (it’s the one I learned from but it’s old, ok. Surprisingly still relevant tho lmao, but you might want to check out a newer one.)
Keyboards shortcuts + facial expressions
Posing the eyes/eyelids
Nifty trick to pose fingers
Frankenposing (v useful!!)
How to backtrack (basically)
Couple poses (idk how clear that tutorial is, I can’t find the one I learned from ://)
Pose with object
Animations
Convert object to accessory
Plus size rigs for posing
Toddler sliders/rigs for newborn/baby poses
or you can just go through this tag

Now. The rest will be under the cut because… it’s long. Please beware that I’ve never made a tutorial so it might be a complete mess (with way too much rambling). This turned out way bigger than I thought it’d be ajvnlnva. Tell me if there’s anything unclear, and have fun making poses~!!
