So very true. I was a nationally known artist (works on paper) for a couple of decades with lots of one person shows and awards in national exhibits. Well-known but definitely not rich. Not only do I look at making art in SL that way -- I look at making ALL products in SL that way. It is the PROCESS, not the product. I still make a fair amount of lindens on my home and garden products but I never made much on my art -- RL or SL. Hence I just have my free gallery now or "show" in exhibits to be supportive. Enjoy the journey AS a journey,,,,,

This is a twenty year story and it isn't going to change. LL has no intention of policing more than they are required to by law or to cover their bases legally. We did have "lawyers" here OH SO long ago but of course there were no laws but the Terms of Service (which LL will deal with "oftentimes") and it was closer to roleplay then reality. Going forward and for anyone new. Ask to see examples of previous builds. References won't really help much unless you actually KNOW the person vouching for the builder as the person with the kudos could simply be an alt. Only put part of the money down with payments as the work progresses. Realize the people can leave you stranded in SL just like the do in the corporeal world and often there is very little you can do about it.

Nope. You are completely on your own.

If my memory holds (and it has been awhile) . Use a 64 meter long "cube" or anything really. It needs to be the route prim and then turn it invisible (or move it underground) If you need it further than the 64 meters then you might be able to find an old megaprim and use that as the route prim. Tested

Posting this here so folks can be careful Happily there is something besides things for the horsey set over at Nutmeg. This is the Happy Weekend set. It is cute and useful and the LODs are pretty good. However buying is pretty confusing and it isn't always clear what you get with each (oh so subtle place to buy individual items) icon. In fact it LOOKS very much like the set is what is on sale for the weekend. It is at 300 lindens which is certainly reasonable. So just read carefully, click around if you want individual pieces and buy what you intend to buy :D.

Note that the OP was about selling RL items on the MARKETPLACE which I am pretty sure is against the rules (not really going to reread all that). Long ago there were companies selling RL items in SL but from an INWORLD store and that was widely advertised in the media. I can't actually remember how the payment connection went but maybe some other OLD person does :D. This was a time when we also had "banks" in SL and "gambling casinos" :D. So possibly two different answer here However, it should probably also be noted that those companies (big name one with deep pockets) didn't stick around very long. EDIT: There have also been artist selling their RL work in SL for lindens but making those available (one only of course) for RL purchases. How that money transfer worked I never investigated.

Here is the page you asked for: https://accounts.secondlife.com/process_credit/ Note that you do need to PROVE who you are with documentation (photos of driver license with current address etc). It is easier for folks in some countries than others and some folks apparently (last I heard anyway) had no way to process credit out of SL because of the way their country does things. It is not a click a couple of times matter. And there are fees to both sell your linden dollars as well as the transfer to bank fees. So if you only have a few dollars that you have made selling things it might be easier to just leave it there, You can "quit" SL simply by going to a non-premium account if you ever paid premium fees. Then leave your account and you may want to return some day.

In general it will be hard to find clothes for ANY of the "non-standard" (read that as free = not costly) bodies. I have done many blog posts over the years and just getting an outfit of any kind together for free is a challenge with the free bodies. So there is that. IF your free body take alpha textures (or has slots for alphas) then clothes that cover ALL of you are your best bet. For example this is a new gift from CONTRAPTION -- https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Contraption/50/161/731 So anything like this will only really need to fit at neck and cuffs (sometimes still very hard to find). You might want to try the SENRA avatar in your library as I think it will take BOM and alpha (makes body parts invisible) textures. That would help. It's been awhile since I have looked at this but it IS a long time issue. You are not alone.

Bottom of the main destination guide page. There IS some criteria and not all places suggested are put into the guide. https://secondlife.com/destinations

Not sure what Rowan wrote and then deleted but you can find the creator of most objects (and definitely animations by right clicking and seeing the info. From there clicking on the creators name should tell you the name of the shop.

Thanks. Will see. The website also says (said) they were open. But since that is the only one with different text from the other event dates (and I think I looked at that before and it wasn't that way ^^) maybe just THIS month got pushed back. I don't find much there any longer; just seemed odd and also seems odd that there wasn't an obvious note on the website home page or the typical countdown ticker. And THAT was nasty. I used Edge to check and see if maybe my ad blocker was stopping some info getting through. Edge would NOT let me close it without "confirming" and I didn't WANT to confirm so had to close with the task manager. GRRRR. Happily the forums saved my typing. I guess we'll see mid month OR when green dots start appearing for setup. Thanks.

Don't even need to look. These days even very good art has trouble selling and there are literally hundreds of folks doing what you are doing. I have been in lots of art exhibit and watched the sales (some were one only) and IMO the best thing to do with art (these days) in Second Life is just to enjoy the process. If you really want to have an inworld gallery then do that for fun and "show" or give your work away. PS. There are quite a few groups out there where you can show (and possibly sell) your art for free so that would be a way to go. Watch these forums as announcements are often here.

The sim is still there with one person "camping". The website is up with no corrections. Going over let's you go inside but there are no vendors. The website says September is an event month. It also says the event is openl. Obviously this is not correct but I don't know any creators personally that are normally a part of the product pool. Any insights would be helpful. Just curious.

Might be good to note if you want PBR only - PBR with legacy textures ore just legacy textures. Since there is a huge variety of all types of houses and since hiring a builder is much more expensive than just buying a readymade house, perhaps more info on why you need a custom build would be helpful. And no, it wouldn't be me as I don't do custom --- just some input

devoousMind Missed the sexy part of the equation. How about this one. Or just go look on the Marketplace for the newest DM releases. Some are " not safe for work" https://marketplace.secondlife.com/en-US/stores/31565
