I'm pretty new to second life, and recently being exploring bits and pieces of the world(meaning inworld). I came across people creating things in SL, and ever since that encounter I've been wanting to create some things myself. Can someone tell me how I would start on my journey to become a creator? :) Here is a little more information to start: I would like to learn how to create everything from(shoes, to mesh anime heads), but I think I'll like to start with clothing first. What are some "resources" (such as tools/materials, sites, etc used for creating, & other things that might be helpful). What is the easiest thing to create when your first starting out as a creator?
