Hi! I'm a really old user, stopped playing I think in 2009 or so. I used to be a fashion designer (good old times when everything was made out of prims and textures haha), and now I'm really excited about the possibilities of mesh clothing. But there are so many new things to learn, I hope I don't sound like your mom trying to figure out second life :). Also, I hope this is the right forum, the fashion forum only has ISO posts, it seems... 1) It looks like everything and the kitchen sink is made out of mesh these days. Are Robin Sojourner old templates still useful? Also, were there any changes on the texture resolution for skins and textured clothing? I mean, all my skins and old clothing look a bit blurry. I don't know if it looks so because I am comparing myself to the new avatars with super fancy mesh heads... I've got a newer skin and it looks a tad better than my old ones (and I used to wear good, expensive stuff back in the days). 2) Speaking of that, I am saving up to a mesh head and a body. It looks like a necessity if I am going to design stuff for them, right? (Don't say it isn't, I am trying to justify the expense to myself, I really want those ;)) 3) I've downloaded blender and I am trying to learn it by myself. I am used to 2d designing, 3d is a completely different animal, wow. 3.1) Is avastar any good for people with no experience in 3d designing? I am willing to invest, I just don't want to buy something and give it up after one week because it's oh so hard. 3.2) I thought about buying mesh templates to texturize, but it seems very limiting :/. Also, I have no control about poly count, complexity etc (I have no clue on what I am talking about but these issues seem important :P). Can anyone recommend a good store that sells quality stuff? I don't know if I'll ever use them, but I can at least practice texturing with mesh. Well, I think that's it. All the help will be appreciated :)
