Evening all. I am very new to building. Recently I rezzed a pre-built home on my parcel and went about re-texturing the walls. No problems what so ever until I got to this wall. There is a door and a window installed here and now matter how I adjust the settings I can not get my wallpaper texture to line up like I did on the other three walls. How can I fix this? Thanks for your help:)

Okay cool. Can I be a bother and ask for a smig more info on this. I'm googling how to create alpha channels and I'm not coming up with much for my version; I'm running PS7, (I know I'm old school like that.) Can someone help me out or point me in the direction of a tutorial that will work for my version? Thanks again! Edit: I am finding I can't save with alpha layers as anything but a PSD

Hello. So I'm wanting to create a picture in a frame, the frame is ornate. I saved the image with a transparent background in photoshop but when I upload it and texture my prim, the transparent background is white. What's the trick to getting this to work? Thank you!

Worked like a charm! Thank you for teaching me something today

I have lost a transpart prim in my house and I would like to find it so I can remove it. I know exactly where it is but can't click on it to edit. Is there a technique?

Awesome! Thank you:)

Hey guys! So I have a number of pets and stuffed animals that I have acquired, none of which have an animation to hold them. They will attach to my arm but regardless of whether I have my ao turned off or on, my avi just waves her arms around and sticks the poor things in her butt and face, lol. I found this thing on the MP. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Full-perm-petting-animation/3736862 Can I buy and equip this or does this need to be built into something? Or do you have any suggestions on how I can hold my pets lovingly and not wave them around and stick them in my butt? Thanks!

Awesome! The advice and help I've received from you two has been very helpful, clear and concise! So applying what I've learned here to this picture of my girl, I would say...since the skirt moves and is affected by wind, it is a flexi prim; the top and underpants are a textured layer, the corsage on her shoulder (doesn't move but is very detailed and 3D) is a mesh and her hair since it also moves would also be a flexi prim. Is this correct? Thanks again guys:)

Thank you so much, this advice is indeed helpful! I have felt like I've been standing on the edge of a forest with about a hundred paths leading off to different build methods, so it's good to know which one to take now. What is the difference between sculpty, mesh and flexi? Is one better than other or are they equally needed according to the type of item you are building? Thanks again!!!

Hey guys! Noob here. I started SL because I want to create a clothing and accesory line for no other reason other than to express my interest in sub-culture fashion. So I've been having fun shopping the market place, meeting folks and exploring the world; now I'm ready to start building! I will admit there are a lot of tutorials out there, but the more I read the more confused I get. My question is; where is the best place to start? I have a favorite designer here on SL https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/52502 Boudoir fashions. Please understand it is not my wish to copy or emulate these designers; but I am interested in being able to create this quality of craftsmanship and performance in my garments. What are your recommendations for a brand new designer that wishes to set off down this path and create this type of product. What type of building platforms do I need? What is my first step in this process. I have been reading many tutorials but still find myself at odds when I try to apply what I've read to creating a product like this. Any help is very appreciated.
