    When my husband built this PC he cloned everything from my old PC's HD to the new one onto an SSD.

    Also, there is a patch for CS6 to work with Windows 10, it seems to have issues with AMD cards, but there is another patch for that too.

    But what if you install it from a CD, like I have?  How does one get it working installing it that way?

    Photoshop Alternative that allows painting and pasting on 3d models?

    Posted

    I have used Photoshop CS5 Extended for years in creating outfits for my Second Life avatars.  The ability to paint directly onto the SL avatar mesh, as well as paste images on it, has made the process super easy.

    I recently upgraded to Windows 10 and I discovered that Photoshop CS6 (the latest and last version of the Creative Suite) is supposedly incompatible with it.  I have looked at alternatives and I don’t see any that have the functionality I require, not even GIMP which is open-source.

    I am curious if anybody knows of an alternative to Photoshop that allows painting and pasting images directly on 3d models.  Otherwise, going forward, I will have to subscribe to Creative Cloud, which I am aware lots of users are very unhappy about.  I find that Adobe’s Photography Plan is super cheap at just $10 a month and it lets one use Photoshop.  I just hope Adobe doesn’t eventually discontinue that plan.

    Rebounder/mini trampoline animations

    One thing that Second Life seems to be lacking is rebounder/mini trampoline animations.  Even mini trampoline objects are missing on the Marketplace.  I think those kinds of fitness animations would be fun to have my avatar do.  They would be great at parties, too, especially synthwave music events.

    If you don't know what rebounding is, see this video:

    Any BoM bodies that are compatible with Old System clothing and skins?

    Yes, don’t go back in time to look for clothing for a modern mesh avatar. The clothing looked bad then and to think it will look any better now on a modern mesh body is mindboggling.

     

    The clothing in question is clothing I easily made myself in Photoshop.  I can also make it in layers and recolor the individual layers in-world.  I could do it with mesh clothing, but I don’t have the skills necessary to create it.  I also don’t have the money to commission others to do all the styles I have.  ToT

    I tried Slink Redux but the crotch area had weird stretching that I did not like.  The Maitreya body looked great but did not have an option to flatten the wang and nipples.  Utilizator's Avatar 2.0 is horrible with classic clothing.

    Does anyone here know of a mesh body with BoM compatibility that classic system clothing and skins will look good on?  I also want said bodies to have an option to flatten the wang and nipples areas, so as to make it look like the body does not have them (I am a PG-13 avatar at least).

    I am very grateful for your help.

    The Slink Redux bodies have 'nipples' switch in the hud that flattens them.  I hope the new Maitreya Lara BoM will have that too - fingers crossed.

    The Maitreya Lara body I bought doesn't have a feature to flatten the vag*** or the nipples.  Only to turn them off but make the areas transparent.  -__-

    I'm not aware of any bodies that follow the classic avatar's texture layout (LL UV) while also having a toggle for certain details.

    Does anyone here know of any bodies that do those things?

    It took me years to make all of the clothes that I have for my classic body today.  Doing them all over again seems like too much work, even for me.

    Avatar 2.0 doesn't use the LL UV. It requires textures that are specific to that body to look right.

    What body does use the LL UV?  I also tried Maitreya but I cannot hide the va*** and nipples (as in make it look smooth, as if there is no va*** or nipples but not make the areas transparent).

    I am afraid that this is not at all new for layered texture clothing.. I have been around SL for 14 years,  and remember how it was long before mesh, when we had no other choice but system layers for clothing..  and that issue with ragged sort of edges was around then too.  Some of it had to do with poorly made textures and some of it had to do with how it stretched over the body part.  The worst was trying to get short shorts or underwear to not leave stretched blotchy parts on the inner thighs.  I sure hope we don't start running into all that again.

     

    I see.  So what can be done to fix it?

    Anthro African Wild Dog avatar with classic body

    in Wanted

    Posted · Edited by Lucierda Solari

    Hi, everyone. I've been wanting to get an anthro/furry African Wild Dog avi that is not mesh. My reason for not wanting mesh is because I have outfits that consist of multiple layers that I can recolor almost on the fly. If I use a mesh body I lose that ability.

    I know Dark Spot Designs had an AWD avi once, but it was limited edition and is not available to buy anywhere. It was also available for purchade at the DSD mainstore, but it is gone now.

    Kahoots definitely made an AWD avi but it didn't quite have the look I had in mind.

    Does anyone know where I can find a realistic anthro African Wild Dog avatar that allows me to wear classic clothing? Thank you so much for your help. =3
