With the body legs skirt and cape its different.
First open masterpalette.mqo Download On top of the post.
go to file(body.mqo) and drag it into mqo where masterpalette is active.
or insert it at file-> insert
this is what you have now. lets clone the body 3 times.
Now you got in total 4 body's.
double click the second body and rename it to PRI:
third to TSKIN:
fourth to VSKIN1:
Now disable the look of 1st body(object) third and fourth.
Then Ctrl+A ( you will select all dots/lines of the body second body ( PRI
go to the colors and click on Mat4 1 time only then go to Selected.
now your body is yellow good. disable the look( click on the eyes) and click on the third: TSKIN(make it visible again
like this.
Now we are going to color tskin:
The mats needed.
Mat 4-( do the same with pri to make it easier
)
so you have again a yellow body but now you will edit the arms to another color.
for the left shoulder we use mat 13 click on mat 13 and then in the left panel(commands click on mat)
now color the shoulder with your mouse. should look like this.
Now we take the lower arm color 14.
And the last part of the left arm must be color 12.
this is what you have for the left arm on tskin:
Now the right arm its basicly the same just another colors.
Shoulder right color is - 11
lower arm = 8;
and the lower lower arm = 10;
should look like this.
And Nope we are not done yet!.
BE WARNED FROM HERE EVERYTHING IS DONE IN VSKIN1: TSKIN IS LOCKED!
Last part the VSKIN1:
What i always do is locking the TSKIN:
why is because its easy to see where some numbers need to go on VSKIN1:
like this.
now open up weight tool (wgt)on the left in the commands.
Click on vertex and now you can put some number but first.
Select the body ( ctrl + a) and put weight 0.08 then click oke.
now every dot on your body got 0.08 value.
now.
Select the left shoulder the darker purple part. like this
you see that i didn't do the edge of the darker purple.
make the selected ones weight 0.25
the edge of the darker purple needs a weight of 0.26
just like this.
now just select the lighter purple ( do not select the edges)
make it have weight 0.23.
the last part of the left arm needs weight 0.22
Now We go to the right part of the arm.
same ritual so:
shoulder right must be 0.21 weight but
the edge need to be 0.20.
the light blue/greenish need to be 0.17
and the last part of the right arm and the body!
MUST be 19 ( under the 0.17 part)
now unlock tskin and enable all models/objects and save the body.
Now open the body.mqo or whatever you called it in datmaker.
All you have to do is click on make .dat and test your body out.
Even i sometimes forget to do some dots make sure you have done all dots also on the back of the model!.
