    BoM alpha, or basically same alpha we used before with default avatar, it is really simple to make, you don`t have to have some mad skill, just a UV map and some graphic software (i.e. PS or Gimp which is free)..

    • open SL avatar UV map in PS/Gimp (avatar is separated in 3 textures, upper body/lower body/head)
    • create a new layer
    • use selection tool like polygonal lasso (it`s the easiest one to work with, it allows you to fix, add, remove parts until you`re happy, then close selection by joining start point with last point)
    • fill the selection with black color and deselect (Ctrl+D)
    • hide UV map and save as .png (this is important, png supports transparency)
    • upload texture, create a new alpha from closet and apply your texture, save

    Important note, parts that are supposed to be hidden should be empty, parts of your avatar that are supposed to be visible should be solid color (usually black)...when selecting you can select the part you want to texture, meaning visible part of avatar, but if it`s easier for you to select parts that are going to be hidden, you can do that as well, just before adding fill/color, inverse the selection (Shift+Control+I)..

    Another tip to save you some upload Lindens, you can use Local textures in SL Edit to test, any time you save over that same texture on your computer, it will get updated in SL. This way you only upload once, when you are sure you got it right...

    Hope this helps!

    is not about skills , more about time and money involved.  following your steps ,a medium skilled user will need 1hour work at least for an alpha and 10L upload.And now, let's pretend i have only 100 items in desperately need for alphas ( i have more, but i'll choose only the favs). What am i looking at is a prospect of future month working only for sl. 100 hours work and at least 1000 L spent ( if i get it right). Or i can use alpha cuts and wear them in no time.And all that for a benefit of a smaller, most of the time unnoticeable,  lag. All my appearance impact is never bigger than 40- 50k, so i don't think my alpha cuts will crash the sim.

    I'll make you a superstar, but first you'll need to pay me lots of money to join this very special group.

    yeah, but for the money you get a nice exclusive tag as "Supermodel" and if you pay more, we will make you a nice portofolio (no one will ever be interested but - just small details).

    This is old in sl, rl also, people pay for qualifications they never use after.From my experience, all the big sellers in the sl fashion never hire models, they use some friends or alts for photo's. anyway we are talking some few money here, 100 L$ is cheap, years ago, joinig a supermodel group was few k's

    watch the video, blew me away to see the lace and the fabric actually move with the avatars body. Like REAL motion. I still cant believe I am seeing it and IDK how come they can do it in Sinespace but not in sl!

    They are doing this to prevent the copy botters buying the FP item and uploading it for sale on the marketplace and selling it as there own.

    That is why they want to check your store and check you look reputable.  And to check you are not on any copy botter lists they have assembled with there friends.

     

        copybotters don't need full perm items .They use some "tools" to copy all items they find, no matter the permisions.There are other kind of bad people , the ones who don't respect TOS  but they buy the items. And only one without brain will think a "copybotter' will use his real acount to buy/ sell stolen items . They use alts, so the creator and his friends only have useless long lists of alts , most of them inactive or banned.And who decide who is reputable or not? If someone new decide to get the FP items and resell them, will be banned because he/she don't look reputable?Theat people like they are thieves and you will kill your customer base.

    They normally include a non transferrable item and a application to get the Full Perm one.  This is so you can continue your work while you wait for one with more permissions.

     

    So work few hours on an non transfer item then do same work again when the real product came. Good job Sisiphus.No good deed remain unpunished

    I agree they should explain it better in the listing but then they would not sell as many.

    So false advertising is ok as long as they make money. You know that makes them no better than copybotters? Fight injustice with injustice. What can be more wrong than that?

    If the problem was addressed full perm creators would not of resorted to this dirty tactic on there own customers ... do you think they want to do this?

    The only other alternative is that the full perm creators stop creating, and many have, that just means everyone misses out.

    Honey, is life. Any game creator, any movie maker knows his products will be avaible on pirate sites in few days from release.Do they stop creating? no. How you will feel if you go to a movie, they get your money for the ticket but not let you in to actual see it, because you look to shady and is possible you will copy it?The Marvel/disney movies are the most pirated on internet and that did not stop disney to be the best money grabber in all industry.

     Every organization should have diverse funding sources and strategies. Human laziness is a strategy, and it pays off.

    some time ago, I read a study that shows that over 50% of those who accept one month free offers at the beginning (as in online games, netflix, etc.) forget or do not know that they need to manually unsubscribe .

  7. Personally, I do not like the name " pentesting " -are you testing a pen ?
    a title like Licensed Penetration Tester has more flavor in it, especially in SL, but I can understand how things can be confused. :)
    Fly low Icarus ! you aim too high.
    as a person involved in all kinds of universities and academies in second life years ago, I can tell you it won't work. people pay for building, scripting, blender, classes because they are practical applications for SL.they can use the knowledge learned immediately and can gain from them.The most academies here provides classes that are different then every day real life school classes and focuses more on skills you could actually use for second life. ( or there are RP academies where they pretend to be students / teachers but I don't think that interests you)
     maybe it's just my own experience, but I haven't met anyone willing to pay for something they will use in the real world almost without any connection to what's going on in the game. Especially when it comes to courses almost impossible to learn only through text / voice interaction in sl - not to mention study materials, tests on various systems / computers / applications. direct interaction between teacher and student in a technical field is mandatory and cannot be replicated in SL.

    and now, the good part:
    2 choices:
    1. get some land, open a school, provide some free samples, ask for the money. Ask for every student 240 L $ and if you have 10 students you made the 2400 you want (about - or maybe you thought of 2400 each and if you have 10 students you get 24k - a bit too much, in my opinion, but , again, is your dream)
    2.Go to Inworld Employment section of the forum, search for academy, university and you will find posts that are looking for teachers. In some you can even choose the teaching area. Contact them and you have the answers ready.

    There has to be something easier than Blender.

     

    actually, there is. Is called Second life viewer Firestorm ( at least is what i use). Here is my 5 steps free course of building , when you have no idea what to do. Disclaimer: works only for furniture, houses, decorations. for clothes you will have to learn something else. Also, step nr 5 is the most important.

    Замечено мной, что чаще в друзья добавляются игроки (жители СЛ), которым от Вас что - то нужно. Например - по работе (они менеджеры клубов или магазинов и кидают вам рекламу), или это представители противоположного пола - когда считают, что вы подходите им по каким то критериям для дружбы или чего то большего, или это люди с которыми  у вас общие интересы в игре - это рыбаки, охотники, или члены вашего кровного рода или семьи))  Мне нравится добавление по интересам)) Когда есть реальная помощь  в информации, подсказки по играм и просто общение)) Но есть и еще нехорошие люди, с гнильцой, которые войдя в доверие начинают просить деньги. Или предметы или одежду, но чаще это деньги. причем чаще всего они не отдадут вам денег обратно)) По характеру я человек добрый и иногда мне приходилось попадать в трудные ситуации в игре, тогда друзья мне очень помогли именно деньгами, многие бескорыстно. Чем поддержали меня. И я стараюсь при возможности помогать, но... К сожалению возможностей нет, линденов нет, и так жаль когда тебя обманули и не вернули долги. Хотя, если посмотреть с другой стороны - зачем то Бог посылает нам этих людей и эти испытания. Нужно быть осторожным  и нечистым людям не помогать ( чаще всего эти люди играют с альтов, нубами и просят денег на тело или еще что- то, а на деле просто обирают Вас, перекидывая деньги на своего основного аватара) 

    К сожалению, вы правы, но плохие люди существуют и в реальном мире. Все виды мошенничества требуют ваших денег независимо от того, в каком мире вы живете. Моя политика: никогда не давайте кому-либо больше 10-50 L $, и если они не окупятся, забудьте о. Это тест, который помогает мне узнать людей.

    Sadly , you are right, but bad people exists in real world too. All kind of scams want your money no matter what world you live in. my policy : never give anyone more than 10-50 L$ and if they don't pay back forget about. Is a test it help me to know people.

    Are you boring?
    Do you enjoy long hours of platform standing doing absolutely nothing?
    Are you easily distracted by netflix, youtube, facebook, buzzfeed, ect?

     

     This is strictly platonic with a possibility of dirty pictures from time to time - there will be no dick involved in said pictures as I am too lazy to make it match.
     

    You got me here. Exchanging dirty pictures is ok, as long you give me time to find some nice ones on internet.100% guarantee will be me :)
