Hi there! I'm new here.
I'm glad to join the community.
I was wondering if anybody had managed to put a working model in the game, aside from the tutorial one...
I tinkered a bit, and... Well... Let's just say, welcome to my freak show...

In the first 2 pics, you can see, let's call her 'loli'.
In the third pic, I tried to insert (mmh, not sure about the word...) a black woman. I thought she would be the worst try... I'll have to think again.
In the last pic, let's call her 'Behemoth Evil'. Yeah, a mix between Fallout 3's behemoth and whichever boss from Resident Evil.
(By the way, I did all of the models with HumanMaker. I still need to try with poser and made by other models.
As you can see, my problems are:
- The models don't have enough details. When I try to smooth them in maya, filemaker detect another shape for 'body', because of PolySurface thing.
I tried to export and reimport, so that I have only one mesh, but...
- Smoothed models miss parts of their body, like 'loli' and her 'face'...
- On the body.ini, I commented most of the shader, 'cause I don't know yet how to adapt them to my models, so they are missing eyes, probably jaws and vagina.
Anyway I'll keep on trying, but if you have some tips for me, I'll be glad to hear them.

* Sorry for my english, that's not my native language.
** About Behemoth Evil, I don't know why she's so big. I smoothed her a lot (I almost get mad with copying weights because of the file (130Mb)) but that's not really a problem, I must have done something wrong when exporting/reimporting.

Ok, that's it. Guess I'll have to learn how to use maya... ;op
Anyway, I wish the better to the devs, and to the modders (you helped me a lot).

@yarf nice could you release the loli and behemot girl

lol! Really?
Of course I can. I'll just have to see what files are really needed. My files are a mess.
I'l do that today if you want. You're sure you're not making fun of me? ;op 'Cause they're really crappy...

nice no fun

Ok, I'm just trying dropbox, but that should workk...
I think you know how to put it in a story or the dungeon, that's just for testing.
Anyway, if you need something else, just tell me. I hope I put all that was necessary.

EDIT:
I made essai.rar... That should be easier to download.
Here's the link:

All should be there, it's 21Mo. But if it's missing something, that'll probably be some txt.*.dat, so not much to download...

@yarf thanks a instruction how put ingame would be cool

Ok, it'll take some time, but I'll try to make a short guide.
Should be there in 1-2 hours.
I hope you followed the modding wiki about deriving template character...

EDIT:
Ha! Took my time to make a guide as clear as I could, then followed it from scratch, and xsp is now crashing with no help in trace.txt...
The guide is almost done, I just have to find what I missed this time.
Seems this guide will help me too. I told you my files were a mess.
As soon as I get it working, I'll post it here.

nice yea i followed

ps would be cool if you add template character tutorial to your tutorial

Here it is...

In fact, the problem was with the 4th character in the dungeon.
Commented that part, and it works.
Not sure about template character...
I can make a tutorial of what I did in maya to import custom models in game. Is that what you want?
(Need to take a break, I have to eat)
Just tell me if the guide works or not.
I'll be there in 1 hour.

sure exactly what i mean
