Just search on Youtube for texturing mesh in Photoshop or whatever graphics program you own. If you dont have one you can use Gimp or Krita, they are both free. There are tons of good tutorials on Youtube. Just search how to texture mesh for secondlife, or how to texture using uv map or ambiant occlusion map. Short explanation, you need to make a PSD file using the UV and AO map if the seller did not include one. From there use create the texture you want on a new layer and use the AO map to add depth by using options like multiply and overlay. Specular and normal maps are placed on the model used the edit tool, there are options to add them in the texture tab. You can also desaturate the normal map and use it along with the ao map in your graphics software. But, just go watch some youtube tutorials and you will be on your way to learning to texture mesh in no time. ❤️

My newly created listings are not showing up in my marketplace inventory. Is anyone else having this issue today???? Had no issue with this last week so I assume its a tempary issue 😧

Personally, I would say alot of it has to do with mesh bodies. The fact that full perm clothing creators can only get the files needed to rig to the SLINK body (not matreya, bellezza, etc etc) is hurting both the full perm and non full perm mesh clothing market, ALOT.

What do you need help with?..

Hmm I'll check it later but there were times that it came out fine it was just the edges were grainy and nasty but it didnt look like a black snake crawled up on my bake map haha. I've posted this on my facebook aswell and no one answered at all >....< RAWR but thank you for your response! Hopefully I can figure out what went wrong here. It's doing this on 4 of the 5 meshes im working on but I'm not doing anything different then I normally do.

I have never had this issue before. I'm trying to get bake/light maps for several meshes today and maya has done this (see pic below) to 3 out of the 5 i'm trying to get done. I'm using Maya 2013 and I use Mentalray to render the bake maps. I've tried using different settings, that doesnt help. And the times it has rended the mesh out 'okay' the edges where I have the edge seams come out super grainy to the point where I can't even edit it in photoshop without it looking like a hot mess. Has anyone had this issue and if so how do I fix it??? I did have to reinstall Maya 2013 not too long ago and I havent messed with the default settings much at all, besides putting mentalray on what I normally would have it on. I must be missing something though?... HALP PLZ 

Any clothing templates that come with PSD files should work perfectly fine with paint shop pro. If you're running an older version of PSP and are getting errors when you bring in a PSD file go grab the latest GIMP, bring the psd file in and resave it and it should open up fine in paint shop pro. As for pet clothing imparticular, I'd say just hunt the marketplace for full permission stuff that might work for that and make sure the templates come with PSD files. <3

If it's rigged you can attach it to whatever point you want, yourself. It will go exactly where it is supposed to do no matter what attachment point the creator originally had it on.

Your best bet would to be contacting creators directly or just buying some full permission items but make sure the full perm seller terms let you do freebies in world or they might get pissy

hahahahaha Arkansas, yet I live right down the road from the Oaklawn Casino. I guess my vpn service will be happy to have me back because I <3 skill games in sl and that's never going to change

Aint nobody got time for 20L imo lol

Funny, 7000 customers and not one has EVER come to me to say that my meshes cause lag...

The SL avatar also looks like **bleep**. It's not a necklace it's chains for a shirt and lowering the poly count on them anymore will make all the chain links look a mess. This worked for me, perhaps it's not politically correct but it works so I'm happy

NEVERMIND

Thank you for the replies!!! I figured it out Had to update firestorm to the newest beta and now it's working perfectly YAY.
