Viewpoint tutorial- (for fairly advanced users)

This tutorial will show you how to show your Sims' skins in yummy 3-d. To do this, you will need the following:

A paint program (to use on the skins)

The Viewpoint utilities, including:
The Viewpoint plugin installed in your browser
The Viewpoint Scene Builder
The Viewpoint HTML Generator
A Viewpoint Broadcast Key
and....

Your sim body, head, & hands in obj format---

Ok, let's begin....
