Mesh Kits - How to start?

[KeliahAngelis]

Probably this question has been asked and if it has, my apologies for duplicating. 

 

I'm a fairly good texture artist. However, I have no technical knowledge at all on mesh. I'd like to texturize some of the mesh templates that I keep seeing. Specifically for the colossi avatars and the petite avatars. Also, some of the mesh kits for dresses and the like. I simply just don't know how to go about this. Is there any tutorials and/or websites that go about explaining how to do this? Are these just files I can upload into photoshop (I have CS6 Portable) and texturize and then load them back into SL like a regular clothing template?

Thanks!

I found this set of videos useful in reference to using the maps that may come with mesh items purchased.  Not sure this is what you are looking for, but should give you some working knowledge.

Hi Keliah,

Yeah, they are just ready made  meshes and a texture. You take the texture into photoshop and paint your stuff, then reupload and apply to the ready made mesh.

 

That's it!
