Im new to second life as a whole so I apologize if this is something you guys at the forum have to keep addressing. Anyways i'm about 6 or 7 days new. I'm starting to get the hang of how the whole body and customization of your avatar works. The more I dig and get interested in things the more im learning. Im wanting to start making my own versions of things. I am pretty versed in photoshop and art programs as I am a digital artist. Anyways I'm wanting to basically make my own skins/textures for Maitreya Lara and Eventually Legacy and later on probably some clothes. I have had a little experience re-texturing games ( I know SL isn't a game ) like counter strike or even some VRchat I'm just curious if there is a great beginners guide for specifically editing the skin of like the Maitraya Model and getting on your character? (plan on practicing on this one because its cheaper lol) I know that i'm hoping there is a way I can somehow get a simple solid color shading texture generated in like substance painter (Because shading from scratch is really hard) then popping it into photoshop or clipstudio and editing it from there and then somehow getting it back on the model to test it and make sure it works. Also if there are things I should know about like fees and such. The reason I'm so interested in doing my own re-texture and not just using the in Hud options is because I want to make like a furry texture for furry avatars. Well to begin with learning. Sorry I tried google-ing/Youtube but I there seems to be terms I guess I don't know yet or I find incomplete videos of people explaining things that aren't quite what i'm looking to do. Thank you In advance. Or Apologies in advance haha. -Dusty
