Thanks, it's now open for business. you can find the link as Persephone suggested in my signature.

A mixture of Substance Designer 5, Blender, Gimp and Instamat

If you have substance designer there is a node for PBR to Specular conversion, simply plug in your metal and rough and use the Glossiness output to get your specular map from. But in all honesty I'm finding going back to the old workflow icky, Diffuse/normal/specular is just dank now.

Still very much a WIP and nothing is up for sale yet, but those PBR textures worked very well.

Since I've rolled out my new PBR range I've received a steady stream of people who have brought the items/materials without knowing what PBR is and not knowing it's SLviewer viewer only, which I've made sure to note in the descriptions and have updated it multiple times to try and loophole proof it. But it's still happening and my patience is beginning to fray...

Free to people earning under 100k under the pioneer license if you want to be precise, not sure how many people here are earning 100k in sales but I wouldn't guess its a lot. Edit - you can find the Pioneer licensing option to the left of the Seat License option here - https://instamaterial.com/licensing/ The crate is what I made in Instamat, the tiles are mine as well but they were created using substance and are up on the marketplace.

Took it out for a spin today, a bit hard to use but this is what I got -

Happened to me as well, also suspect it's happened before as there seems to be noticeable gaps when people haven't been buying the last few days, with luck they'll fix it soon

A little harsh, one can know how to use blender, photoshop etc - but as anyone knows the advance techniques can be hard to pick up or not even known about until shown, combining that knowledge to combine, rig and composite for SL can be even tougher. Personally I would download the SL avatar from the wiki, load it into blender, then import assets and have a look on what adjustments need to be made - You'll most likely need to read up on/or know the following topics. - Rigging - Map baking - Map Mixing/Compositing. I'd also look through the files for a .txt or an example model - most builders are usually kind enough to make a point of reference that you can dissect to understand their designs.

I've had this happen to me, but everytime i've found polygons without UV assigment, maybe a UV went missing during the import?

Another means is to use the timeless door script - which can be found here - http://secondlife.mitsi.com/cgi/freescripts.plx?ID=893 It works very well and can be linked, however editing would be required to suit your needs

As a mesh builder I tend to glaze over when I hear about argmuments about copyright, not because I don't believe that theft is wrong - but because many of the "enforcers" tend to have little if any restraint and many more often are willing to step over the line to try and get a model banned, resorting to lying, harrasment and false complaints in the process. In context a story that involved me and the first tank I created over a year ago was that I found myself under siege by people claiming it was ripped from WoT without making any effort to look and see if there was any diffrence between mine and the model that they claimed I was stealing, after I rebuffed them on the first go they fell silent only to start with posting reviews claiming theft and when I reported these to Linden and had them removed, I soon found myself targeted with paperthin arguments such as "well anything that looks nice must be stolen", "if you didn't steal from WoT, then you've stolen from somewhere else" to the amazing debating tactic of - "well your standing up for yourself - thats proof of guilt". Thankfully in my case I was able to catch two of them out resorting to lying and harrasment and as off such Linden was able to step in and deal with it, but since then I've been of the opinion that people trying to "self-enforce" are just as bad as the people trying to steal. Finally with regards to the argument about turbosquid as I plan to go into freelance wholesale myself someday (when work stop's treating me like slave labour and I can try for fortnightly builds - lol), I wouldn't care if people were to pay me and use my model in SL, the only issue for me would be overpricing.

Join the loud and growing lobby to have the whole useless gamed and cheated review and rating system dumped completely. ^L^ Pretty much this, its the system that enables it, I'm a fan of personal responiblity but with no real consquences there is no incentive for people doing bad/fake reviews to damage others businesses to stop. However what you can still do is report them under the "flag this review" link for flaming, under the lindens guidelines a customer -must- try and approch the content creator about possible issues before posting a bad review otherwise their in the wrong.

Right click the hud in your inventory, then go to Attach>Hud, or simply "wear" (but only if they creator has set it up already). Keep in mind that if once attached its not showing there should be a option on the rmb menu (on the selected item in your inv) that should allow you to select edit it to make adjustments in your viewer

I'm a mesh wholesale producer that 6 months ago entered into the tank making market, everything was ok for the first 3 months then I suddenly began reciving accusations from a number of diffrent people claiming first that I ripped from world of tanks (not true and easily proven as I have all the files, renders and part projects), without any evidence to back up their claims - finally leading to 2 reviews agaist my product claiming they were "ripped" and if not from world of tanks then they "have to be from somewhere else" While I'm more than happy to work out the kinks in a product that someone might not be happy about, I would like to find out if its within reason to have the parts of the reviews that make the false claims to be removed?
