View Full Version : Back To The Future: Finishing up the 1955 trio (Lorraine, George, Biff) - any help welcome!

The new BTTF game made me do it! :p

I love Back To The Future, those three movies are among my favorites of all time. So I re-watched them last week after finishing the game, and thought this would be a fun project. I've just started Marty, so he needs a lot more work - any help will be greatly appreciated and awarded with cookies (I won't eat 'em all this time, honest!).

I've been mostly working on the outfit, really. It's still far from done, so I didn't take any in-game pics of it yet (gappy mesh is gappy):

If I'm really off base, please don't be harsh and just ignore me. :)

It looks to me like the bridge of the nose could be pulled out just a little bit for smoother, more subtle curvature or transition into the brow.

Also, it looks to me like the either the eyes seem a bit too sunken inward OR the cheekbones are too pronounced (either too high or too forward?).

Thanks, MSD, you're right. And I would never be harsh to anyone who is trying to help, CFF is for getting critiqued after all :) I did pull in the eyes a bit too much, gonna fix that and will give my sim a bit of a nose job as well ;)

OMG!! this confirms just how awesome you are,Misty![/endcrazyfangirl]
Ok, Marty's nose in RL has really big nostril...um..holes? His eyebrows should arch more away from the outer eye corner,IMO, and he really needs a new haircut,too. This one doesn't scream I-just-went-to-the-future-and-past vibe.

Really awesome work though, Misty!

LOL! That's so true, this hair really is a bit too neat. I need a messier one...Thanks, Divine! :)

What a fun creation. The clothing mesh is absolutely perfect!
I don't have much to add other than I agree that you should find a messier hair :) Guess 80's hair styles are hard to find though.

Guess 80's hair styles are hard to find though.

I dunno, I don't think Marty's hair is all that 80's really, but yeah, there are very few good short hairstyles around.

Made all of the suggested changes (except the hair), plus some other minor edits. Outfit mesh still needs more work, so don't worry if it looks wonky in the pictures.

His hair kinda reminds me of pepperdawg's "Nightlife Sideswept Hair--Without the Sideswept". (http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=167409) Most of the images in her post are lacking hair in sideburns-area (except for the before-and-after picture), but the hair itself does have hair there. I don't know how good of a match it would be, but it could be worth a shot. *shrugs*

MistyBlue
8th Jan 2011, 9:18 PM
Thanks, MSD, I'm gonna check that hair out and see how it works.

In the meantime, another update. Think he's kinda closer now, but something's still off...

If you look at the real pic, the nose makes up less of the face than the nose in the sim version. Nose 2 clicks smaller? Recolor the hair to be dark blonde?
Also were the eyes brought a little to the front? Maybe the eyes one click smaller. Possibly edit the eyes to have less dark shading in the sclera...
The rest is amazing, shape of the chin, the mouth, eye shape, brows, all really good!

MistyBlue
9th Jan 2011, 10:39 PM
Thanks, Nouk! :) I've fixed the nose and the eyes, and I'm not sure if this is the mesh I'll be using in the end, so I'm gonna come back to recoloring the hair later.

*chirp chirp*

Ahem, I'm just gonna post an update, in case anyone would like to help me out:

Made a few changes:

http://www.modyourpanties.com/hosting/25063_110111182846Untitled-1.jpg

As you can see, there's something still off with my sim (but he makes such cute faces, nonetheless <3). I'm still trying to get his eyebrows right, so I whipped up these, they need some tweaking though. I -think- his nose needs to be pointier in profile, so I'm gonna try to fix that too.

Also, the outfit in-game:

http://www.modyourpanties.com/hosting/25064_110111183225Untitled-2.jpg

It's better than I thought it would come out, but it's not right yet (the jacket and the shirt should both be slightly longer, I think, and those rolled up sleeves need better mapping). I'm having problems with arms clipping through the vest during some animations, but I'm not sure how to fix that without making the vest less puffy :/ I'm pretty much a noob at meshing, so any help on this would be appreciated.

Oh, I used to love BTF when I was little! Bear in mind that I haven't played sims 2 in about 2 years so I have completely forgotten what sliders were in sims 2 and which were added in sims 3 . . . BUT, and I'm not sure if it's the angle of the latest pics, his jaw looks like it's a click or two wider than his cheekbones, when it should a click or two narrower. His eyebrows aren't frown-y enough. MJF's eyebrows curve up outwards from the nose end to the archy-bit, in like a very shallow U shape (if I could draw you a pic, I would but I have no image software on this pc, I'm afraid, so hopefully that makes some sense! Look at the pic of MJF on the left of your most recent post.) I think the sims eyes are too blue. Can you rotate the sims ears outwards in the sims 2? I forget ... I can't really see anything else, and the things I've suggested are like nit-picky things, but he's still not *screaming* Marty McFly to me, the outfit is though - I love that. Anyway, hope that helps and that it makes some sort of sense. :) I used to have such a crush on him, until I realised he's my parents age *sigh*

15th Jan 2011, 3:15 PM
I'm really not sure what I could say he looks really good, but maybe try:

Upper lip 1 click thicker
eyes 1 click less bugged out

I think thats it, I think its the eyebrow texture that is throwing me off, not sure why. Sorry I couldnt be more help.

Nit-picky is good. I need nit-picky. I know he's not there yet, 'cause I'm stuck and don't know what to tweak to get him right. Happy you like the outfit, still working on it tho. Thanks for your help, it makes perfect sense and hopefully he now looks better :)

And thanks, Vampy! Any suggestion is helpful, don't be silly.
I made all of the changes, and have re-draw the eyebrow texture, it really wasn't as defined as it should be. I just didn't change his eyes, but yeah, I now see they might be just a tad too bright, will fix that in another update.

He's definitely getting there! I think his face is maybe still a bit too long, either that or it needs to be wider (but can you do that in sims 2?) The profile looks perfect though. If there's a slider, his ears need to stick out. I don't know if MJF is just squinting in all the pics, but maybe make the sims eyes a little less open (as long as that won't affect the shape.) The only other things I can see are the hair and eye colour being slightly off. I really hope that helps, trying to be as nit-picky as possible! ;)

thedivineone
16th Jan 2011, 4:18 PM
Hair, hair, hair. That's what's wrong with him!
Maybe you can rub a balloon over his head?
Also, does he have a nose mask on? It looks a little blurry at the moment, maybe make his eyebrows just a tad wittle bit darker too?
I am gonna go see if I can hunt down a good hair mesh for ya ;)

Edit: Ok, I raided the hair wiki and downloads here, I found a few good candidates,I guess:
http://www.simswiki.info/images/3/37/Peggy_M_PayHair_74.jpg This is a Peggy hair, I don't have the link right now though (Peggy's site won't let me sign in,bleh).
http://www.simswiki.info/images/0/0f/RaonFREEm39.jpg
A free Raon hair.(Still available, I think).
Fanseelamb's Puppydog hair (http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=345275)
I can't seem to think of any more right now, not to mention that my browser isn't helping*glares*.

Good luck with Marty!
Last thing, Are you planning on making Doc? After all, he is the master mind, and we need more jigawatts!

MistyBlue
16th Jan 2011, 7:09 PM
Thanks for the nit-picks, Becca! :D Unfortunately, making the whole head wider is impossible in TS2, and so is rotating the ears (how I wish it weren't, though. and, looking, back, I probably should have used a different face template with better ears). It sucks. BUT, I was thinking of doing some face editing in Milkshape anyway, so I might be able to whip something up. And, yeah, it does seem he squints an awful lot :/

Maybe you can rub a balloon over his head?

:rofl: That sounds like it would be fun :P You're awesome for finding those hairs, I've looked in the gallery as well but probably missed them. Peggy hair might actually work, with a bit of alpha-editing and a re-texture, but it appears to be a donation item. And I love that Fansee hair, but I think it's a bit too long. I'll fix the nosemask and the brows. I'll check out the Raon hair too.
And, yes, I have a Doc sim I'm working on whenever I get stuck with Marty, LOL.

ETA: Okay, great. Now you guys made me mesh hair. I'll try to find a maxis hair that would be good for editing. I've no idea how that will work out, but I'm gonna update once I come up with something decent enough.

MistyBlue
19th Jan 2011, 1:07 AM
I may have just found the mesh that works. It's a MYOS hair, and this was just a quick alpha edit to shorten the front. Only problem is, it should be flipped :faceslap: Pretty sure Coris' TOU doesn't allow mesh editing, so I'm keeping it as it is for now...until I find a better suiting mesh (or get a permission to edit), I'm just gonna flip all of my screenshots :P

That is such an improvement, the only thing I would say is that the hair looks a bit feminine (for lack of a better word) on him, it's too 'strandy'. His hair looks different in all the BBTF pics I can find, but he seems to mostly have a 'solid' fringe, if you get what I mean. It's definitely better than the EA hair though. I can really see Michael J Fox in his eyes now though!

MistyBlue
19th Jan 2011, 11:36 PM
Yus, you are right. Girlie fringe is girlie. I messed with the alpha some more, any better?

http://www.modyourpanties.com/hosting/25231_110120003830mmf5.jpg

Please excuse the wonkiness of the mesh in the last pic - I'm workin' on fixing all of the issues.

Crappy comparison collage for ya. Because baby's very angry today and all I do, I do in fear of him throwing stuff at me. Trust me, getting a Fisher-Price choo-choo train in your face, especially when wearing glasses, is not an enjoyable experience (although, the little dude apparently finds it very amusing).

sleepalldaypartyallnight
22nd Jan 2011, 12:58 PM
Marty is soooo close, I think his eyes need to be more darker/duller blue and his face looks too long. I love the hair now!

Doc is good too, that hair is brill for him. Only thing I would say about the hair is that it might benefit from a retexture - it has a lot of gray in it, and Doc's hair is mainly white. This is more noticeable from the side than the front though.
It might be the lighting in the RL pics, but the sims eyes could do with being a darker brown.
Make his top lip a bit thicker.
Make the nostrils taller (if that's possible? Or is it a nose mask?)
Christopher Lloyd has quite prominent circular eye bags underneath his eyes.
The only other thing is that the sim doesn't quite have that crazy, unpredicatble-ness that Doc has in his eyes, but I really don't know how you'd capture that in the sim!

Vampire_of_Death
23rd Jan 2011, 12:02 AM
On your sim, his skin is white with a yellow base, where IRL, his skin is white with a pink base. This may help his overall look.

Whiter eyebrows, but I like that shape/texture.

Profile wise, his eyes should be a bit more bugged out. Also, his nose should be moved down a click.

He is also, from what I see missing the mole on his right cheek and the one above his right eyebrow.

Are you using HP's Gauis mesh? His hair looks great.

I would get rid of or lessen the crowsfeet and increase the eye bags. I would also intensify the forhead wrinkles and the ones around the mouth.

Looking great!

Back on Marty - I think the face is good, but the hair - he is a MM style sim - I think the original hair might look good on the new face......

23rd Jan 2011, 3:11 AM

On Marty, The jaw width is just a bit too wide and square. The Doc is getting their, I agree with the hair retexturing, also what about a lab coat or something for the doc

MistyBlue
23rd Jan 2011, 5:23 PM
Oh, lots of tips!! Thank you so much :D /me throws cookies at everyone

Vampy, Doc's hair is a CoolSims' mesh, with my texture. I'm glad you guys think it works - it's the closest mesh I could find. I agree it should be whiter though. I'm working on all of the fixes (both Marty and Doc) right now (while baby is being kind and taking a nap), and will post an update later. Riley, I've started working on Doc's outfit, but I've put it on a back burner until I finish up Marty's (teh gaps are killing meh!). Lee, I'll see what can I do about the hair, I might use both MYOS and MM hair, so people can pick the look they like best.

MistyBlue
24th Jan 2011, 10:20 PM
Gah, finally some free time for the update!! And coffee. I need coffee.

Doc: Hair and brows more whiter, skin less yellow - more pink, added a more appropriate nosemask, moles, fixed the wrinkles and probably more stuff I now forgot.

http://www.modyourpanties.com/hosting/25370_110124231632deb.jpg

Marty: Face shorter (I'm not sure if it looks better now), jaw less square, eyes just a tiny bit less blue, nosemask de-blurred (I think) aaaand the hair. I kinda like how Fansee's Bill hair looks on him...but I need some help here. Which one of these two do you think works better? Or do you like the MYOS hair more? Should I go with one of these -and- the MYOS?

http://www.modyourpanties.com/hosting/25371_1101242319052hairs.jpg

Do I ask too many questions? :p

Vampire_of_Death
25th Jan 2011, 3:26 AM
Marty looks much better, I like these hairs much better than the MYOS one. And I think the Bill one mooks best, to be honest. Not sure about the face length either, he still looks damn good.

Doc looks much better. He kinda has the unpredictable-ness in his eyes. Like the urge to build a rocket powered drill. ;)


Oh, and here's some coffee.

I think Marty looks perfect with the hair on the left. I'm not really sure what to say about Doc. He's almost there, but I can't quite put my finger on what needs tweaking. I'll have a think.

Petchy
25th Jan 2011, 9:12 PM
Definitely the Fansee hair for Marty - fits the "renovation" of him perfectly, and it's really fitting for the style You've gone for!

Only thing I can think about Doc is that the Lower Chin [I forget the proper name] you know, the bit above the neck and below the real chin? "Under-neck"? That could be a click or two down.

ONE POINT TWO ONE JIGGAWATTZ?

MistyBlue
25th Jan 2011, 10:30 PM
Alrighty, so it's Bill's hair then! Really, if it weren't for Lee who suggested that hair in chat the other night, I don't think I would come up with that idea.

Thanks for the coffee, Vampy. I've been running on coffee lately. And good to know I'm getting there, these two are pretty hard to sim :)
Thanks, Becca, I too know I need to tweak something, just dunno what. Here, have a cookie while thinking

:llama:


...okay, so it's a llama. Because I don't think there's a cookie emoticon. But I hear llamas can be tasty too, if served with chocolate sprinkles on top.

ONE POINT TWO ONE JIGGAWATTZ, Petchy, indeed! :D Thanks for the feedback, and I know what you mean about the "under-neck" (I never know how to call it either, really).

I'm currently trying to finish Marty's outfit...and I had to start all over. Because I'm an idiot and I saved a regrouped mesh over my original .ms3d file. Bah. Anyway, I tried to make it as accurate as possible (some minor things need fixing though, and I need to texture the shoes properly), and would like some feedback on it :)

Would it be possible to create and pull the tounge of the shoe up a bit so it was over the bottom of his jeans? One other little thing I noticed was that his vest thing is a bright red color, and I thing the one you've made is just a tad too dark and orange.... but other than that, it looks amazing....

sleepalldaypartyallnight
30th Jan 2011, 6:06 PM
I agree with Wicked poppies, except I would add (and continuing with my nit-pickiness, obviously) that I think the trainers look too white. Marty's look much tattier and dirty. Other than that, perfect!

MistyBlue

IMO, Marty is done, I cannot think of anything I would change! Well done, he looks amazing.

Doc's outfit looks really good, but the shading on the bottom half of the front of his top looks a bit strange. It looks almost mirrored and a bit unnatural aswell because the mesh looks smooth, but the texture looks like there should be folds/creases in the fabric. Hope that makes sense.

Also, the third pic won't load for me. I'm just getting the little loading icon. Sucks, because now I'm dying to know what on earth is in the picture! :( My pc hasn't been liking tiny pic the last few days.

Wow, I leave for a while and I come back to jiggawatts goodness!
Doc looks awesome but I agree with Becca that the front of his outfit does look strange.
Marty's outfit looks awesome and so does he, but there is this little blurred bit on the shoulders and the vest has some tiny holes (seen in the second pic from the left).

I have to say that pic is pure awesomness, I can't wait to get them in my game :D

Thanks you two! :)

I see what you mean about Doc's outfit looking weird, I've messed up the mapping. Hopefully it's looking better now. As for the Marty's outfit, I still fight the battle with those nasty little gaps. Oh, and Becca, I've upped that pic on ModYourPanties (http://www.modyourpanties.com/hosting/25802_110215014209back_to_the_future_poster_01.jpg) for ya :)

So here's an update on Doc's radiation suit:

http://i.imgur.com/QpewV.jpg

I changed the shirt to the actual movie shirt, albeit from the second part...but hey, it's artistic freedom :P
Added watch, fixed the weird mirroring in the front, changed the shoes and some other stuff...

I confess I'm having way too much fun with this project...and, so, when the friggin' gaps have driven me mad, I went and made this (it's a rather big .jpg, so wait a sec for it to load, if you wish:))

Marty's outfit looks good but I think the vest could be just a -tad- bit redder?

Amazing job so far!

Gosh, I'm so happy you like it! I really want this upload to be a proper sim tribute to one of my favorite movies, so I'm trying really hard to make everything as good as I can.

You're right about the triangles, I'm still working on those and will try to make them clearer and more real looking. I'm having trouble determinating the actual color of Marty's vest - I think it's burnt orange, 'cause people in the '50s were making jokes about it being a life preserver and those are usually orange. I do think I should make it a tad more red tho...Gonna try and see how it looks.

Thank you for uploading the pic :) Love it! You're doing a fantastic job, and I'm feeling really nostalgic (not that I was even born when the films were released, but I watched them loads when I was little) I think I'm gonna have to buy the DVDs and re-watch the films start to finish! Also, please say I'm not the only one who read the comic strip text in the voices of Michael J Fox and Christopher Lloyd?

I have nothing to add to what divi said above about Doc's outfit.

15th Feb 2011, 9:22 PM
Wow, they look amazing! I would agree that the vest should be a bit more orange.

I play a medieval hood, but I will have to download these when you are done and let Doc and Marty go waaay back in the past lol.

It really is looking excellent Misty.

The doc still needs his tool belt - maybe you can snaffle a bit off one of the maxis meshes (gardener/repair)?

Or I think there is a freetime hobby outfit thing that might work - just to get the belt :)

Thanks, all!! I'm really happy you are pleased with what I did so far.

Right, so I made some changes to the overalls: added tools to the belt (snatched from the gardener mesh, as Lee suggested. Still needs some tweaking), some minor changes to the shirt...the triangles are a pain, I've no idea do they look any better now (after looking at the movie sceencaps again, I noticed they were actually orange, not red, so I changed that too). I'm planning to add some pockets, and possibly some black pants peaking under the bottom of the overalls, just for the sake of accuracy. I think the trainers need some editing too. Oh, and I also made an adult face replacement for Marty, so he doesn't age up fugly (made an adult face for Doc too, 'cause he looked nothing like himself when aged down), I shall post pics of them later so you can tell me how am I doing :)

...I'm being friggin' chatty today. And I didn't even have my coffee yet. Okay, here's the update:

Becca, I'm also feeling really nostalgic while working on this. I watched these movies countless times when I was a just a wee kid too - I think it was quite possibly the beginning of my love for all things sci-fi and time travel :P

Cynnix, it really would be fun to put these two into medieval set-up! If you do it, I demand to see some pictures :giggler:

Gosh, those effects look so old now! I'd forgotten!

The triangles look much better now, but still a tad blurry. It been so long since I made clothes for TS2 that I have to no helpful advice to improve them either, sorry. Having said that, he's looking much more like Doc now with the outfit. I forget, is his face done?

I looked a the Picture of doc and some found some mesh weirdness

leesester
17th Feb 2011, 10:36 PM
Hmm, maybe is weirdness - Am surprised as that looks like a recolour of the AL tracksuit with small changes, so maybe said weird is in the original (would not surprise me). I think you need to change the colour of the shirt sleeves sticking out though - to be the same as the shirt.

MistyBlue
17th Feb 2011, 11:16 PM
Yeah, it the AL tracksuit with some modifications. I'm working on fixing the weirdness - some are because of the mesh and some are due to my mapping. I'm pretty new to meshing, so some wonkiness is bound to happen ;) I have now added a green shirt matching the sleeves beneath the train shirt which is supposed to be short sleeved. And Becca - I'm not sure if the face is done really, but I haven't made any changes since the last face update, so feel free to point out if anything needs fixing :)

Amazing work so far,Misty!

I got a small note on Doc's nose. I really don't know how to explain it so I got a pic instead:

The outfit looks better now, those triangles though...maybe you could send me the texture file, I might find a solution for them :)

Psychosim
19th Feb 2011, 12:25 AM
Oh, this project is too cool! :giggler: I love BTTF, it's the most consistent timetravel trilogy ever.
I'm no use for feedback on sims, though, but especially Doc looks really good! Are you planning to do more outfits later? I like that yellow-blue shirt in post #30. :lol: Marty has come a long way, too!
If I had any idea about animated meshes I would create the time machine to go with it. At least there's a normal DeLorean available.

MistyBlue
19th Feb 2011, 1:06 AM
Divi, thank you so much for your kind offer :lovestruc:, but I'll try to manage it on my own - only way I'll learn ;) Oh, and thanks for that tip on the nose, I'll see what can I do about it.

Psychosim, I'm so glad you like what I did so far :) I really want to make multiple outfits - like the outfits Marty and Doc wear in the second movie (I would also love to make a few more characters) - but I have so little time to work on this each day, so I'll probably upload these two first and additional outfits/characters later. I would love to have a proper DeLorean - at least as deco. I believe Lee (also known as Awesome Fish :P) might come up with something, but we'll see.

Okay, here's a tiny update on Doc suit:

http://www.modyourpanties.com/hosting/25869_110219020009docupdate2.jpg

I didn't work much on it today, 'cause I spent all of my free time playing the second episode of BTTF game :P

Hey, here are some changes, basic fixes but also the shirt underneath, I was thinking Hawaiian shirt.

MistyBlue
19th Feb 2011, 10:06 AM
Thanks for the help, Riley :) I'll change the shirt then, I was thinking about doing that anyway, really...I dunno what do you mean by circling the shoulders though - is it the texture or the mesh? I didn't touch the original mesh there, so I don't know what's wrong. Oh, and the neck seam is something that really bothers me too (it's not the skin) and the bone assignments seem fine, so I don't know how to fix it right now. I'm still trying to fix those triangles...here's how they look (http://www.ketzer.com/backtothefuture/frameset.html?http://www.ketzer.com/backtothefuture/docsradiationsuit.html) originally (apparently, they are pink - go figure).

leesester
19th Feb 2011, 10:20 AM
I'm working on the deLorean - I dunno, can only see it in milkshape at the moment - am now mapping interior. Its either gonna be a big pile of SUCK AND FAIL - or not bad at all. We'll see. If is S&F will let you know.....

Cynnix
19th Feb 2011, 10:27 AM
The neck seam looks like a normals issue to me. I don't know why some meshes do that but it's easy to fix if it is. Try using the Normal Data Merge on it. Tiggerypum explains it here (http://www.modthesims.info/showpost.php?p=1983927&postcount=2) maybe that will fix it.

MistyBlue
20th Feb 2011, 11:38 PM
Lee, even if doesn't work, you're still awesome for trying (but I'm sure it will be great) <3

Cynnix, thank you for that tip! It's probably just that, I'll try it and see if it will do the trick.

Since the lovely folks at Telltale Games have allowed Lee and me to use their parts of their meshes and textures, I went and had a go at converting the DeLorean remote and making it an accessory :) I'm having some transparency issues, as you can see the mesh looks alright in MS...will work on that. Should be a tad bigger probably.

The remote looks quite...well...awesome!
I think I spotted a couple of things on Doc's outfit (I am getting annoying, I know...):

1- The alpha needs some work there, it looks a bit pixelated right now.
2- Just needs to be pushed a tinsy bit up :)

Hope I am not making you pull your hair out...growing it again could take a long time. :giggler:

Doc's outfit looks much improved and I'm anxious to see how your project develops. So far I'm astonished by how much work you devoted to it and think Marty's outfit looks fantastic. Regarding criticism, the shading on the rolled-up portion of Doc's left sleeve splits into dark and light sections and the darkness and shape of the wrinkle on both sleeves looks unrealistic. Try making the shadow of the wrinkles lighter, more irregular, and not spanning the circumference of Doc's arm like gray circles. I don't know if misaligned normals or shading cause the aforementioned split. Also Doc's shoulders need more darkness so the top of the sleeves don't look like they are a different color. I hope my advice isn't redundant since Riley mentioned much of my criticism already.

MistyBlue
24th Feb 2011, 12:00 AM
Don't worry, Divi, I have some more hair to spare (it rhymes!) until I finish this. I fixed the belt and the alpha...things like this are becoming really easy to miss (it rhymes! Again! This post should be put to music. Or not.) after so much time staring into the damn thing ;) And you're not annoying at all, I would never be able to come this far without the help of you awesome people!

Jakincol - Thank you! :bunny:

Theis - It's an awesome car, but, sadly, not the Back To The Future version. Thanks tho :)

Slar - Thank you for your compliments and detailed help! I'm working on the fixes right now.

No actual updates today, I'm still working on all of the suggested changes...BUT, I went nuts after working on Doc's mesh for days, so I went and did a silly fan-girly thing once more...It's not done yet, but I was rather happy with how the poses turned out, so I thought I'd share:

Just a brief update on the remote...and Doc's watch is now actually meshed, not a flat texture! *yayness* I'm still working on other fixes (kid keeps stealing my mouse and smashing the keyboard, so I can only work on this when he's asleep :turtle: )).

So amazing... and the teeth in the Sims 2 look so much better, REAL... than the ones for the Sims 3.

Love Michael J Fox... hope he gets his miracle... so sad.

MistyBlue
2nd Mar 2011, 11:58 PM
Well, the teeth I'm using are custom texture made by Rensim, so maybe that's why they look more real :) And I agree, I too hope Michael gets his miracle soon.

I've spend last four hours working on the meshes and textures - I think I'm going slightly insane (and sleepy). I took pics for the update, but I forgot to turn FRAPS on, so no pictures tonight *facepalm* The stupid seam on Doc's mesh is driving me berserk...whatever I do, it just won't go away. I tried what Cynnix suggested three times but to no avail. I even used the neckline from the original Maxis mesh and both normals and UV match the original mesh whose neck is fine. I fixed Marty's mesh with no problem, with the same method. Maybe I'm just stupid, and it's something really simple (happens to me a lot :P).

4th Mar 2011, 12:10 AM
Thank you, Vampy, you're too kind :) I have fixed the seam - turns out it really was something obvious and I was just stupid - it was the alpha which was not completely black on the neck seam. So it wasn't the mesh at all :rolleyes: Anyways, here are the updates:

http://www.modyourpanties.com/hosting/26128_110304011358mmf6.jpg

I have some more work to do, as you can see...And I think I'll have to leave the arms-going-through-the-vest issue alone, since I keep screwing up the mesh with bone re-assigning. Would the clipping pose a big problem for you guys? It's just during some animations (but it still annoys me). If so, I'll have to make the vest less puffy.

thedivineone
4th Mar 2011, 5:07 AM

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go scream my lungs out in excitement.

You guys are wonderful, I don't think I would ever finish this without your encouragement <3

I still have to tweak some tiny little things, and I've did some minor changes to Doc's face...And I -think- I'm done. Am afraid to even think that I'm finished, I'm scared I'll notice some new horrible flaw during the picture-taking :P

I'm really excited about the car too! I mean, BTTF sims without the DeLorean? I'm so happy Lee went and put all this work into that car, just so Marty and Doc would have a proper car to drive :D Am now seriously considering making Einstein, to complete this project a bit more...but I never made a pet before, so I dunno. I might give it a go.

Oh, I also worked on the poster...I found a great BTTF game promo whose background and car I used. I also 'shopped the the vest and some lightning, for the effect :)

Eeeeeeep!!! *fan girl scream* I'm in love with all the progress you have made in this fantastic project!

I would say Einstein's ears need to be shorter, maybe the same length from the start of the ears to the bottom of his eyes? And maybe his eyes and nose need to be a tiny bit smaller.

Now please excuse me while I die of exictement.... :D

MistyBlue
13th Mar 2011, 10:51 PM
Thanks, MSD and Guysim - the ears were definitely too long. And Guysim, I'm happy you are pleased with how it's turning out :)

Einy! This is going to be amazing! Hmm, do I smell...a trophy?
Speaking of smelling, Einy's nose needs to be a tad smaller. Also, can you make those eye curtains a bit shorter? He looks like he hasn't had a trim for a while...you don't want him to get fleas now, right?

MistyBlue
14th Mar 2011, 10:57 AM
Becca, the room lightning is perhaps making the ears darker than they are, I'll take more lighted pics next time. And I did see the new secret - whoever this is, they are very sweet and I appreciate it a lot :)

Lew, yeah, the head shape is giving me nightmares. I just keep playing with the sliders to see if I can get it right.

Divi, Thank you, I'm just trying to do my best, since I love this movie and its characters so much :) And I do not want poor Einy to get fleas! I don't think there's a way of shortening the eye curtains tho, but I think I'm gonna try tweaking the forehead part, so they don't come over his eyes as much.

MistyBlue

http://www.modyourpanties.com/hosting/26362_110314231519einythefriggindawg.jpg

He needs more brown/yellow in his fur..and I wish I could give him that cute messy hair on the top of his head...and the eyebrows don't look right either.

PharaohHound
14th Mar 2011, 11:59 PM
Okay, I'm going to start off by saying it has been a very long time since I fired up TS2 (I also have never seen the movie), and I forget some of my knowledge of create-a-pet, but I'll try and offer tips on the dog as best I can.

*Slightly larger eyes. Can you tilt the eyes? I don't seem to recall that feature, but if you could tilt them inwards slightly that would help (I think).
*Decrease the fur "mass", I can't remember what it's called, but it basically controls the volume of the dog's body through its coat shape. Right now he looks too fat.
*I'd also experiment with different coat shapes. The schnauzer one (I think that's what it's called...) might be a better fit.
*Back feet are too large
*Longer beard on his chin, this would be helped by the schnauzer coat shape
*Unfortunately, the eyebrows are as good as they're going to get. The game's eyebrows are atrocious.

Hope this helps. :) I'd continue to work on the sculpt; until that's complete I wouldn't bother with the colours. He's really cute so far!

MistyBlue

MistyBlue
22nd Mar 2011, 11:55 PM
Thanks, Jetta, I'm happy you approve! :) Must have been awesome to go and see BttF in theater.

PharaohHound, I did what you suggested about using a different coat shape, but the one that gives him longer and furry beard messes up his body shape...I'm not sure what could I do about this, I'm a n00b at pet creating. I made all of the other changes though, and will be posting the update shortly.

EDIT: Erm, okay, so I don't have the dog update, yet. Took a break and got this thought about doing other characters (well, I'll try at least). I started on Lorraine (Marty's mum), the 1955. version obviously. I have to make a proper hair for her (there's a store mesh that would work well when converted and edited a bit).

Rennara
23rd Mar 2011, 2:21 AM
Hi Misty, She's looking beatiful. If you soften the eyebrows a bit...or maybe dark brown and take the gloss out the lipstick and use a lighter shade for the dimple chin. You're right about the hair..it needs to softened and wavey and reddish highlights. I think they did the hair with curler in those days. MJ is awesome and a pesonal favourite actor.

TheGuySim
23rd Mar 2011, 5:46 PM
Wow, Einstein AND Lorraine?! :D

The only things I can spot on Lorraine now is that her eyebrow colour, like a dark brown which Rennara mentioned, and tilt them a little bit so that they aren't as arched. And bring the eye height just down a little bit :P

And congrats on the approval on Marty and Doc!

MistyBlue
26th Mar 2011, 2:17 PM
Thanks, Rennara and Guysim! There is no hair that would fit Loraine at the moment, so that's something that's really throwing her likeness off and confuses me :/
Anyway, this is the hair I want to edit:

http://www.modyourpanties.com/hosting/26758_110326141453TS2BodyShop 2011-03-25 23-42-21-07.jpg

I need to convert it for teens, and flip it, then work on the general shape a little. Problem is, SimPE is giving me the "Unable to gather all mesh parts" error when trying to open the package. If anyone knows how to fix this, I'd really appreciate it.

sleepalldaypartyallnight
28th Mar 2011, 9:11 PM

I have a very rough version of George (1955.) here:

http://www.modyourpanties.com/hosting/26863_110403013932GeorgeMcFly.jpg

I'm still trying to get good screencaps for reference, so sorry if these are not very helpful.

sleepalldaypartyallnight
3rd Apr 2011, 11:33 AM
George is very recognisable already! From what I can see, can you bring the height of the 'corners' of his jaw up? And if there's a way to alter the depth of his nose bridge in TS2, that needs to be a bit more sunken in to. Sorry, again my memory fails me on TS2 sliders! IIRC, you said there wasn't a way to alter the rotation of the ears?

MistyBlue
5th Apr 2011, 11:28 PM
Thanks, Becca! Yeah, getting George recognizable was relatively easy, because he has such a distinctive face (lots more work to do before he's done, though). I made the changes, but didn't take the pics yet. Anyway, I'm having troubles with Biff, he's kinda almost recognizable, but not really...I started over a couple of times, and thought I should just post here:

http://www.modyourpanties.com/hosting/26932_110406002135biff1.jpg

Also, a hoverboard. I started two days ago, so it's still pretty lame. I hate mapping it, though, and I have loads more of it ahead. Anyway, just so you can see how I'm doing:

Firstly with Biff, the face seems close, except the face needs more width and roundness and the ears wider, With the nose it needs to be thinner and longer. With George the jaw is just off... its too sharp, also the nose its too smooth, the final is the ears they need to be wider.

ekrubynaffit
8th Apr 2011, 12:21 PM
I think Biffs skin looks too perfect, he looks like he has a few pox marks and acne in the real photos, anyway that it can be not so perfect? Otherwise as with everything you do, absolutly fantastic!!

I got to see his show in February (he does a dramatic reading, shows one of his films, has a Q&A and does a signing) and I had the chance to talk to him - or rather, my mum did. The film wasn't exactly...family-friendly, and she wasn't too happy. She was polite about it and all, but the whole time, I was just standing there, like...ohmygodohmygodohmygod he's soooooooooooo awesome...STOP TALKING MUM YOU'RE RUINING HIS AWESOME!

Anyway, the point I was trying to make...
My mum said afterwards that she'd been looking at Crispin's face trying to spot ANY wrinkles or signs of aging...but there WERE NONE. She's about the same age as him, too - almost 50!

I'm so glad I was able to stop myself from reaching out and touching his nose.

Good lord.

I am sincerely sorry for fangirling all over this thread. I'll stop.

Well, I'll try.

MistyBlue

Fangirling is completely allowed in this thread, so don't worry, Fee :P That's such a cool story! It really is a bit creepy how he doesn't seem to age all that much at all. And aren't all mums the same? LOL.

Vampy, I'll work on the nosemask and post the update then. And doing a comic would be awesome, but there are bazillion things I need to do before I even start. When I finish up the Doc's lab, I'll do the first scenes of the movie, hopefully. I have no idea how and if I'll be able to re-create the Hill Valley town square, but I'll try. You guys made me a bit too ambitious, I think :giggler:

Okay, so I still have to work on the nose and eyebrows, and the ears will have to be fixed in MS (because I'm stupid and I always start with the wrong template), but I thought I should post a small update anyway:

All hail Misty!
I am away for a couple of weeks and all this awesomeness happens? I am so suing the internet company's bottocks!
They all look freaking amazing! Bif's nose looks a bit..balloonish at the moment, especially his nose tip. Maybe make his nose a tad less wide?
He looks really good so far, I even got the urge to punish him straight in the nose! (and other things I won't mention...)

Divi! I wondered where you disappeared! Welcome back! :beer:

Okay, so I've been bad and haven't been working on the sims as I promised I would :P Instead, I worked on setting up the lab...Please ignore the boolpropped windows, some floating clocks and occasional wonky mapping (and the Maxis bed is just a placeholder):

Yea, TellTale Games did such a great job re-creating Doc's place as accurate as possible and you only get to see it for like, first five minutes of the first game episode - which is a shame. It's so nice to see it in the Sims :)

By the way, somebody already made Hill Valley Town Square. It's on here, if I remember correctly.

The lab is, like, awesome.

Good heavens - what is this thread of awesome? Everytime I come past I am shocked by the latest things :)

Re George - yea, its his hair - there is a nice hair in AL that might look good - sort of slicked back and flat on the head. The one you have there is a bit floppy.

I know I know, should be on the sculpt, but hair is important too.

Re Biff - I like Biff just as he is. I wouldn't change him a bit.

MistyBlue
15th Apr 2011, 9:26 AM
Yus, hair is -very- important - it can make a huge difference. I was thinking to edit this hair, but I'm gonna check how that AL hair would look (I can't remember which one is it, but I'll know when I see it). I made some changes to Biff, nothing major, but I think it helped.

Fee, thanks, I've grabbed that courthouse already :) Gonna make a new clock for it. And the little shops by the road! Gah. I shall cross that bridge when I get to it though :P Meanwhile, I have to figure out why have I spent two hours last night importing stuff into SimPE, only to not have it show up in-game at all (Fixed integrity, GUID, everything as usual...gonna do it over, in case I was doin' it rong) /rant

Updates on the sims coming in an hour or two (Jeniffer included - I have serious troubles with that one. I just can't make "conventionally pretty" people), when my little dude goes to take a nap and stops trying to break my nose with the mouse. And stops pressing on/off button on the monitor.

As I said, Jennifer is being a pain to do. I'm doing a Claudia Wells, because it seems people generally like her better as Jen than Elizabeth Shoe. By the way, did you know Eric Stoltz was originally cast as Marty? (the original choice was still MJF, but wasn't available at that time) If you haven't heard the story, here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7xUW8t5i7c) it is (there's footage even).

http://www.modyourpanties.com/hosting/27084_110415133059jen.jpg

Yes, yes, the hair and the clothes are completely wrong, but I can't work on her bald and naked :P Will be making the clothes and finding a suitable hair after the face is done. If you have any suggestions on what hair to use, please feel free to say so - I really could use some help. This is actually one of the first versions, since I had to revert back after smudging her up completely.

Lorraine (I'm working on her hair, so this one is used only while I work on the face) and Biff:

For Jennifer's hair, I would suggest the OFB "Mid Wave Mature" hair (link to example (http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=143189) - a recolor within may work for the color too) at least as a base. The OFB hair is not as feathered/fluffy.

feefifofum
15th Apr 2011, 8:22 PM
Lorraine's looking really good! One thing - her dimples look a bit unnatural. I think they're too dark. I think it's the same with Biff...and the point on his forehead is kind of weird. I really love all these sims already, though - they have so much character! Jennifer's eyebrows are perfect, BTW. ;)

15th Apr 2011, 10:50 PM
OHMYGOD.
The first episode of Telltale's BTTF game for the PC is FREE! You're right about the lab! It's awesome! Now, I know you say you don't do requests, but while you're still working on all this BTTF stuff, would it be possible to get a Sims 2 version of some of Marty's room decor? I saw that Weird Science poster and I was like, "John Hughes? Back To The Future? Cool, cartoony art style? VIDEO GAMES?"

Okay, maybe I'm only after that poster.

MistyBlue
15th Apr 2011, 11:09 PM
Yay, glad you like the game!! It's awesome - I wish it wouldn't be as easy, but everything is really nicely done. I'm sure you'll want to play the rest of the game too, once you finish the first free episode ;)

I'll be working on BTTF stuff for a while, since I have this silly comic thing (possibly a simmish movie trailer too, but I'm getting way ahead of myself) in my mind (the voices are telling me I have to do it. And a fish.) The poster should be really is to do, so no problem there - I'll whip it up for ya sometime next week :)

MSD - Yes, was thinking of that hair as a base, both for Lorraine and Jennifer :)

16th Apr 2011, 12:21 AM
OMG! They're incredible! :beer:
About Lorraine: i agree with Feefifofum; Claudia is very good but, i think the nose could be a little bit narrowed; the face a bit more rounded (but maybe i could be wrong about this).

I'm not sure if you plan on making the Doc's mansion back in 1955, but if you were... you could start here:

Link (http://www.gamblehouse.org/photos/index.html)

It has a lot of images of the exterior and interior of the house, and also features a 360° Virtual Tour, with a floor plan.

Keep up the Fan-tastic work!

Rennara, I'm gonna check those hairs out, I think I might have them already. Morty, yeah I was just thinking about that hair yesterday...I'm gonna try it to see if it fits (sometimes the shape is right but it doesn't look right on the sim).
And sorry for not updating, I had very little free time lately, and that I spend on Doc's lab.
Neko, thank for that link! I probably will try to do the mansion, but that will be a bit lower on my projects list (because I suck at making houses:P)

Gah, I can't find the mesh for that Cazy hair! It's not on their site anymore :/ I tried some other hairstyles on Jen too, but none of them work...XMSims hair looks like it could be a nice match, if re-textured and alpha-edited though.

Anyway, I thought I'd update with Doc's lab and some stuff, I didn't actually build it yet, just previewing objects...

Morty, you don't have to double-post, just edit your post, I check in here regularly and I won't miss anything :) I'm not done with none of the sims, actually...let's see...I need to make proper hair for Lorraine, clothing mesh for Biff, still tweak George's face and do the hair...lots of work still, but it will (hopefully) be done. I am making Doc's garage and items, but seeing as they are all extracted BTTF game objects I won't be sharing it here (even though I've been told TTG is okay with it, I don't think sharing so many extracted meshes is fair to the actual MTS meshers, so I'll share it on lj/tumblr/something once finished). I actually started doing it just because I need a set up for the comic...

Yeah, I don't know when will it be up, it's only about 80% done at the moment. I don't think you can use TS2 lots in Sim City...can you? I thought you were talking about making TS2 Hill Valley as a neighborhood :) Also, if you would like feedback on your project (if it's for The Sims, not Sim City), please feel free to open a thread in the forum, I'm sure people would be happy to give you advice :)

The garage looks amazing, the sims look fabulous and I am practically speechless. Do tell me when your comics are up,will ya? I need a regular dosage of awesome to survive.

Oh btw, George's face looks a bit blurry, right below the eyes and the nose area and his eyebrows are quite light too almost dust like.

Morty, I'm working on both the hoverboard and Marty's 2015 outfit (Doc's as well). I'll see about the purple shirt, that shouldn't be too hard to do really.

I really think you should have posted pictures and waited for some feedback before uploading, though, it wouldn't hurt :)

Okay, I'm really not happy with Jennifer. It's just...I dunno - Claudia has a bit of a bland face, to be honest, which makes it really hard for me to pick the special features to build on...I think the hair is good, though, still need to recolor it...I made her eyes smaller, I don't know why, so I have to fix that too. I'm not sure about those lips either...do they make her look kind of dopey? Should I revert to the old ones? Bah.

http://www.modyourpanties.com/hosting/27302_110503150708Sims2EP8 2011-05-02 16-01-13-28.jpg

I think Biff and George are almost ready sculpt-wise, I "only" need to make an outfit for Biff (I also have this idea, I dunno if it will work...because Biff is a teen, but he looks adult, so the StretchSkeleton won't be enough to make him look realistic...I thought I'd do an adult face template but for teens, so it would be higher up and would work with adult clothing, but he would still, technically, be a teen. Does that make any sense? Or should I just make him an adult? I'm confused :/).

MortimerGoth3000
3rd May 2011, 11:30 PM
OMG JEN IS AWESOME i just have to say her eye brows are bit to light maybe make
them darker CAN'T WAIT!! :lovestruc and i had an idea so in sims 2 if you have a teen sim age him up to adult dealte him then have another sim shift click on the garbage click aging something or what ever then he shoult come up as an adult at teen life stage!
EDIT : OH! and uh Claudia's lips they have teeth showing she had pretty big lips and the teeth kinda take up the face so try to edit it to have no teeth and i dealted ma fourm :(

Rennara
3rd May 2011, 11:44 PM
Wow! What a change...she is gorgeous There's only this thin hair area on the right side that doesn't look quite natural as her hair is quite thick and Maybe a little more fill or darkening of the scalp at the hairline....nice mesh btw. How do you do your faces MistyBlue...copy paste or art work possibly? Also thanks for the Frap info...just love it...love it.

MistyBlue
4th May 2011, 12:14 AM
Rennara, It's actually that XMSims mesh you guys suggested before, but with Stefan's retexture, so it looks nicer :) I will edit it a bit and recolor it, if Stefan lets me. I can't do anything about the thin areas though, it's the way the mesh is built, and it's really not all that noticeable while playing. I usually make my sims with other people's CC, and only sometimes I edit the skin or make my own content if needed. I don't photoskin the faces, if that's what you mean - I normally handpaint the stuff I make, with the exception of nosemasks for which I do take textures from photos, but I try to tone it down, since I don't like my sims to look too realistic. Glad you like FRAPS! :bunny:

Morty, I've made some more changes on Jen, removed the teeth and worked on some other stuff as well. Thanks for that adult/teen tip, but I don't want people having to go through that much trouble, so I think I'll try to go through with my plan, if it works ;) Your CFF thread is still there, you shouldn't delete it if you do want feedback- making something good takes time and can be very frustrating and make you feel like banging your head against the wall (or throwing stinky socks at your computer), but you shouldn't get discouraged.

I can't do anything about the thin areas though, it's the way the mesh is built, and it's really not all that noticeable while playing. I usually make my sims with other people's CC, and only sometimes I edit the skin or make my own content if needed. I don't photoskin the faces, if that's what you mean - I normally handpaint the stuff I make, with the exception of nosemasks for which I do take textures from photos, but I try to tone it down, since I don't like my sims to look too realistic. Glad you like FRAPS! :bunny:

Morty, I've made some more changes on Jen, removed the teeth and worked on some other stuff as well. Thanks for that adult/teen tip, but I don't want people having to go through that much trouble, so I think I'll try to go through with my plan, if it works ;) Your CFF thread is still there, you shouldn't delete it if you do want feedback- making something good takes time and can be very frustrating and make you feel like banging your head against the wall (or throwing stinky socks at your computer), but you shouldn't get discouraged.
i decided not to delete it i was just mad sounds good on jen though! im just so excited its kinda weird my marty sim kinda knows shes coming he was sad like droopy walking for about 2 weeks now the past 2 days he's been jumping up and down for no reason!!BTW thx for the 0.9 StretchSkeleton tip!

More changes to Jen:

I forgot to darken the brows, and still didn't recolor the hair (trying to get the damn face sculpt right first). I will also be making the outfit for her - hopefully it won't turn out to be a major project, I'll aim to use Maxis mesh bits and textures with not too many modifications.

Very, very amazing work so far,Misty! Jennifer is looking good, but aside the brows and hair, I think her nose needs to be softened a bit RL Jen's is ^ while the sim's is more square (the whole nostrils area, in case I am too confusing).
Good luck, Misty :D

With Jen, more of a rounder chin and the nose appears to be off.

Thanks, you guys! Sorry for not updating, but this hot summer weather has gotten the best of me, and after a day of running around I wasn't really capable on focusing on anything. I'm feeling better now, though, so I'm planning to finish some of the characters during this week, yay! :D

Okay, so I did some changes to Lorraine and George. I know I need to work on his nosemask more - it is not looking as good as it did in BS. Looks weird. Bah. Will fix it asap. In the meantime...what do you think? Should I use another hair for him? Do you know any that would be better? All suggestions are, as always, much appreciated and loved :)

yeah, something thing strange in the line of his nose especially at the bridge. A side view would make a good comparison. I haven't seen any hair more suitable...you've done the best you can there I think especially with that fly away piece. Lorraine looks terrific..love the peterpan collar...perfect for the style of the day. Eyebrows better. Awesome as always.

thedivineone
7th Jun 2011, 11:01 AM
Welcome back, Misty! Lorraine looks pretty much perfect and I agree with Rennara about George's nose, just a bit of softening would do the trick. :)

Keep up the awesome work!

MistyBlue
9th Jun 2011, 1:55 PM
Thanks, Ren and Divi! :)

I've made a few changes, and worked on George's nose as well...it's still not right, though, but some more tweaking should do it :) I think I made Lorraine as accurate as I possibly could, so I'll move onto making one of her movie dresses...as for George, something is not right about him, but I can't pin-point it :/

Lorraine is done in my opinion, you captured her Innocent and motherly feel too.
As for George his nose is a pain, according to this picture: http://images.wikia.com/aliceinwonderland/images/d/d1/Crispin.jpg his nose needs to be more arrow like and separate(do I make any sense?) kinda like Lorraine's nose, I guess.

Found a good side picture: http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ladbicHmwm1qbpjxio1_500.jpg his nose wasn't as bizarre when he was younger.

Rennara

Hi Misty,

First thing I notice is that his eyerows run right down and curves into the nose shape....hopefully that will help the nose problem at the same time He hardly has any brow hair to speak of.(same as me :giggler: ) His eyes also look closer to his eyebrow. Maybe round out his chin a little...it almost looks pointy.

This project has come a long way and a lot of people are going to have such fun with it..great work!

MistyBlue
10th Jun 2011, 12:03 AM
Yea, Crispin Glover has a weird nose (why do 98% of people I want to sim have to have weird noses?!), and I can't get it right because fiddling with the profile screws up the front and vice-versa. It's really annoying. I also can't use any of his recent pictures for my reference, because he's changed a lot since BTTF, and I can't take a proper neutral-expression-front-view movie screencap. I did make the changes you guys suggested, will post an pic later :)

I do have an update on Biff...I had to redo him, and I've no idea if he's looking any better now...

http://www.modyourpanties.com/hosting/28166_110609183755btannen.jpg

And thanks, Rennara, it's been really fun working on this! I'm lucky to have you guys sticking by this project for so long! :bunny: I can always count on ya!

But I did turn up two images that are fairly large in size and will hopefully help you with his nose.

Thanks, Neko! I do have those pics, but didn't think they'd be helpful - but they are, now that you brought 'em up. Here's the update:

Better/worse? I know the nose is still not good (aaaargh!!!), kinda too big, nostrils not good, profile wonky...working on it...hopefully someday soon I'll get it right.

Rennara
11th Jun 2011, 1:23 AM
Much improved...looks like his nose needs to be raised a bit with a bump rather than concaved...tip of the nose looks good though. Then pull in th chin or lower lip pulled in some or over lap the upper lip if you see what I mean. You are getting there.

MortimerGoth3000
11th Jun 2011, 5:50 PM
his eyes need to bee a bit thinner and his head needs to be a little bit more square as for the nose it needs to be more welll i dont know

This will interest you, Vovillia converted various versions of the DeLorean: BTTF II (http://www.vovilliacorp.com/1982-delorean-dmc-12-back-to-the-future-2-edition-2-meshe-t4430.html) (with normal wheels or fly mode) and BTTF III (http://www.vovilliacorp.com/1982-delorean-dmc-12-back-to-the-future-3-edition-t4435.html)!

Thanks everyone! And that DeLorean is looking awesome, psycho! When Lee finishes hers, we will have another awesome version!

I'm awfully sorry for being so slow with the updates lately, but I assure you I did not neglect my BTTF sims (or the comic...which I'll be updating as soon as I manage to finish Jennifer sim. Promise!). I've been working on the sims bit by bit, and I think I'm getting closer. I have updates on Biff and George. BodyShop pics, sorry about that.

Thanks, Cynnix! I think Biff is pretty much done, but I'll work on George some more. I also need to start working on Biff's outfits (will probably go with the red shirt and the grey jacket).

MistyBlue
17th Jul 2011, 7:10 PM
Alrighty, guess it's time to update a bit :) This is a crude version of Biff's outfit - texturing is probably around 80% done, but needs several more details (seams, better zipper, etc..), but the mesh is pretty much there, just needs some more tweaks. I haven't started the pants yet, though, but they'll be fairly simple to do anyway :)

Okay, so you wouldn't think I'm just sitting here doing nothing, I'm gonna update ya on the current projects ;)

With the help of AMAZING Lee and Rebecah's awesome animated trike, I've managed to make an actual working hoverboard! That actually flies around! I can't believe I made it work.

http://www.modyourpanties.com/hosting/29497_110802185819hoverboardomgitfreakingworks.jpg

Also, as you can see, I've been working on Marty's 1955 clothing. I have 3 more outfits in the works - is gonna be a cute retro set :) And I'm working on Marty's future outfit too...the mesh is mostly done, texture needs to be tweaked, and I have yet to texture the future Nikes.

http://www.modyourpanties.com/hosting/29499_1108022014352015.jpg

As always, any suggestions, help and criticism are most welcome :beer:

The hoverboard looks GREAT Misty - is there a possibility of offering a standard skateboard mesh that works in the same way? Loving the clothes so far.

MistyBlue

Thank you for the comments, guys! I know I haven't been updating much, but I really have been working really hard on lots of BTTF stuffz. Time to focus, I say! I need to finish the 1955 trio asap ;)

Little update on George (another start-over...*sigh*). I have to do a nosemask for him, and some other minor tweaks, but I think this is as good as I can do. Please tell if you have any suggestions :)

Lee - I think the hoverboard could be made into a proper skateboard, we shall see ;)

Small update on Lorraine:

About the hair on George:
looks like some bits on (his) left of the hair are missing, there is line visible from side view.
Does it should look like this?

MistyBlue

I have the trio almost set for submitting - just a few more tweaks and a couple of more pictures :) To celebrate, I thought I could cobble up a few comic pages...Jennifer is not done yet, so my comic in the Stories section is on a back-burner (but I will get to this soon, I hope!), but since this is the '55. bunch I thought the first Cafe scene where Marty meets his Dad and Biff for the very first time would be fun to do :) Is not absolutely perfect yet, but I spent way too much time on it already (weeks) and, frankly, I'm a bit tired :p
