Unable to test/preview mesh texture

[tricia0126]

I use photoshop to edit the UV map. I save it as .png and .jpeg. When I log in to SL, I go to a place where it allows script and to drop objects.

So, I dropped the mesh and right click on it and chose Edit. Went to texture tab and click on the texture box. I chose the Local button so that i could choose an image from my laptop. Clicked Add then chose the pic and then clicked on it again. The first time i tried this using SL viewer, It just previews a suitcase that seems to be a default? It wont show the texture on the mesh shirt. The next time i tried, It crashes when i choose the image from my computer.

When I used Firestorm, it takes so much time to load until it hangs.I just want to test a texture without uploading it yet cause there might be mistakes.

Please help! Thank you.

hi

you may need to up load the textures to SL before you can use it.

personlly I do my textures on the computer and once finish, then its ready for upload.

but check out the blender classes in SL

or ask in the blender group.

to find them use the SL seacrh   ( control and F )

the people in the blender groups are always working with the new mesh and the classes are great.

lots of support for blender in game last time I was on-line

hope that help you and remember they are alway there, to help you.

so good luck

enjoy SL

The steps you take seem to be correct.

Be aware of the maximum size 1024x1024 px or 1024x512 and 1/2 of the size down to 32 or 16 px (not sure now). Anything you want to add to your question, click option->edit top right of your screen.

Worst case scenario, you can log into the beta grid to test them for free. But you would still need to log into the regular grid once you are certain you like it and upload it there as well. Good luck!
