  1. Bit of a vague title I'm aware, but it's very early days in the project, and there will most likely be several temporary to ongoing positions available along the way .

    For now I just want to meet you and see what you can do?

    All jobs PAID in L$.

    Contact me inworld. IM fine, NC preferred.

    Thanks for reading.

  2. I recently bought some land for the first time (on an alt account). It's the first time I have actually bought land so I was expecting a few problems. This is the first one I've come across, hope I'm explaining this properly.

    - The land is bought, from LL auctions, not rented.

    - Once my alt bought it they set it to a group and added me as co-owner of the group.

    - Then went though and ticked all the boxes, every single one.

    But I can't edit terrain and they can. What obvious thing I'm gonna kick myself over am I missing?

    If you watch the video in the marketplace description, this explains how to set it up for Bakes on Mesh.

    Here's the jist of it though.

    • Wear the upper body, lower body and head (they are three separate items). Right-click each piece and select Edit from the menu. Go to the Textures tab and click the square box with the picture of the skin in it.
    • In the texture picker, select "Bake" then choose the appropriate option from the dropdown list. For head choose BAKED_HEAD, for upper body choose BAKED_UPPER, for lower body choose BAKED_LOWER. Click OK

    • While you're in the texture window, change Alpha Mode from Blend to Mask, with a cutoff of 1. That will still allow you to use clothing alphas but it will avoid alpha glitching.
    • Close the Edit window and repeat for the other two pieces.
    • Now go into your inventory, find a system skin and Wear it. If you haven't got one, you can find some in the Library section of your inventory.

    From here on, changing skin is simply a matter of changing your system skin.

    Thanks for the advice but I've followed the video several times, all I get is patchy skin on the face, no skin the the middle, and an indescribable mess everywhere else. I just wish I could get the good mesh options to work. But not going to buy then when I can't even get the demos to look half decent. Anyway, I've literally been doing this all day, I give up for now. Thanks for replies.

    You simply right click edit the each part of the body select textures throw a texture in..

    Seriously just go and get a proper mesh body and if you can't afford one go get the Legacy Classic with just L$1 instead of 2000+ since spring.

    I would if I could get the demo to work. At the moment I've got no eyes, grey hands, and a horribly obvious neckline. The free one looked better (lucky I saved it!)

    And I tried the right click and "throw in a texture thing" no luck. 

  5. OK, so I just started again in SL yesterday, been dipping in and out briefly for over 10 years now. I find the avi building the most difficult (although ultimately both fun and rewarding). I started with just a 100$ all in one thing off MP which was fine to start but it's only day two and I already decided I wanted to go mesh. I tried the two Signature demos,  the Jake Belleza ,and the Slink, but had a few problems and decided since I'm only just getting back to this to go with something cheap and cheerful while I'll settle in. 

    After some Googling I found some love for the Onupup mesh body, and have found it pretty good (considering it's free!). But I've spent far too long trying to change the skin now so I though I'd just ask here. I've read the NC, I've searched though the forum, and watched YT vids. I just can't figure it out. I know it's probably obvious, but I can't do it. Need help please. Or at least another bunch of links to watch/read. Thank you.
