Avatar skin tutorials

[Jenni Genira]

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but do any of you creators have any links they'd like to share for creating avatar skins? Or where I could start to look?

Thanks!

You should post it under Building and Texturing, methinks.

Anyway, here is free to use resources for skins: http://sites.google.com/site/another/resources

This is an amazing tutorial for using photosourced materials and create a skin: http://forums-archive.secondlife.com/109/e1/246059/1.html

Here is a lot of tutorials, including skins: http://www.mermaiddiaries.com/2006/11/build.html

They may look a bit outdated, but the avatars really hasn't changed at all.

Just a quick search brought up this page. http://forums-archive.secondlife.com/109/07/327603/1.html Check out those links on the thread.  When I started making skins, I learned basic from Olila’s Second Life but it's already gone.

Here's another place to look...

 

i show how to make a female skin in my blog starting here:

and how to make a male skin, starting here:

Unfortunately, the male skin is more difficult and requires more creativity, but I think it's doable.  Please let me know if you run into problems or something is unclear.

Robin, the turotorial you have picked. It's just so simple and easy, I think that turotorial would fit the best with you.
