You can use the Rumpus Room sand box in SL.

Keep in mind I am not talking about baking a texture into the mesh. I am talking for what she is doing and that is putting an image on an already created mesh. Also jpeg are better for complex images like 3d. They take less time to load. PNG are good when you are dealing with a transparency like windows, but they take longer to load. Wulfie is right, PNG would be ideal if we were dealing with real 3d platforms like unreal engine and unity... but this is SL... it is dated. They are building on an obsolete system. (It is why you have to "dumb" down your mesh so much to upload it.)

Yes but it is not blurry... trust me, I have tried every combo over the years. 2048x2048 jpeg at 100% at 300dpi look the best. And dpi (ppi) DOES matter when you are wrapping something around a 3d object. Here is an article that explains better: https://rendervision.com.au/3d-rendering-resolution/

The "legal" version is a question you answered when you got the right to upload mesh in SL. You agreed to not use any trademarks... Nike, Reebok, Lui Viton, Gucci.. ect... However SL is loaded with trademark gear, and stolen 3d meshes, even by some of the more popular creators. The law of copyright says you have to have at least a 10% difference. So technically you can make Bucci... At the end of the day it all comes down to what helps you sleep at night...

Also keep in mind that LI is not perfect. I have uploaded the exact same object before, with the exact same settings, and got 2 different LI

Because of the new PBR system in SL I would recommend using Adobe Substance Painter instead of zbrush. It has a direct export for SL settings, it can make the UV maps for you, and it is a lot easier to learn.

Also make sure you use a .jpeg (png, tga tend to be blurry) and use more dpi. I use 300 dpi, that seems to actually help a lot, since you are actually stretching the texture on an object.

I am not talking an event, or traffic, or a heavy user store or club. Just shops instead of houses, you can put whatever you want inside. As for the part about competing with residents selling/renting, the same can be said for residential land. LL has like 15 different types now. Nice small commercial land that doesn't look like poop is hard to come by... I guess I could just use the home as a shop, I have seen people do this. However it would be nice to have some dedicated land that was more "city" like... with shops instead of houses. I would rather set up like a cool restaurant, or a cafe, a movie theater, gas station, a jail, an art galley, a dog shelter... the possibilities are endless. I would much rather have something like that, then another house.

It is nice to have all these house options, but some of us have no interest in a home because we already have a sim or something else. What would really be awesome though... is to have a "Linden commercial Shop" Region. Instead of houses have shops, set it up like a city... Not like a mall, or the events... Like the houses now... 100 or so to a region. I know some of us would like that way more then a house.

They said because the sound will keep trying to play. Its in like a cache. So after a period regardless of where you are it will still try and play. Relogging clears this.

This is the answer from the JIRA: (In case anyone else looks up this issue) "The sounds were coming from an attachment that the specific people were wearing, for example, Πελαγία ΚΝΩΣΟΣ (malifax). The fact that you didn't hear it possibly means that the attachment they are wearing is muted (in it's settings), or the scripter set the volume of the sound to 0.0 instead of 1.0, or possibly the asset server couldn't send the sound file. The fact that the sound file was repeatedly playing rapidly in a short amount of time suggests a bug in the script. Why would it be coming from different avatars? Good question, I'm glad you asked. It's not unusual for multiple random avatars to wear the same attachment. Maitreya mesh body, Lelutka head, etc - any attachment may be the source. Regardless if you have spam protection enabled or not, the fact is, those avatars are wearing an attachment that is rapidly repeatedly playing a sound. Whether they are playing a zero-volume sound (like, a sound recording of silence), or a regular sound but the script is set to 0.0 volume, either way, you are noticing it due to Firestorm's spam protection. With Firestorm's spam protection disabled, the sound is still playing, still spamming, but you merely wouldn't know it."

Yeah I filled a JIRA with firestorm. Also there is no actual sound... https://jira.firestormviewer.org/browse/SUP-27502

It does not do it with the SL viewer, however there is also not a spam option in that viewer. There is also no sound either, so it must be just a firestorm thing, and not a SL thing.

That could be it. Tomorrow I will try it with the SL viewer and see what happens!

Go to the sim Oro, that is where the original one came from. The other was her sales sim. When I asked Candy Azure about it, she said that the person was her builder. The thing I don't understand is nothing was attached on either avatar. You have to stand there for a second or two. Then TP to any other sim and you will notice it. ONLY if you have your spam settings turned on. I know I can just turn them off... I am just curious as to what it could be. An experience would not follow you to other sims.
