I have owned the land my shop is on for 4 years and I have no plans to move. We are a steady, secure place to be. Feel free to stop by and see if our small community would fit with your products and sales needs. Both shops have 2 floors. One is available for 250L/week for 100 prims and the other shop is larger so prims can be negotiated. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Tihuta/72/150/1802

Hello Charlot. Sent you a NC inworld. Have a great day!

Thanks for your in-depth answer imnotgoing. I know this won't override the current permissions and I can understand having this option for full perm items, but I sell copy, mod clothing, so where does this license fit in with my items? I don't think a creative commons license would fit my situation.

I suppose it makes sense to have it, but I can't help but feel that having a line scratched through the user-licensed option in permissions gives theives the feeling that they are fully entitled to copy and do whatever they like with items. I imagine they felt the same way before...but this just makes me feel more vulnerable. What would be required to actually license items? Is it even worth it?

Thank you all for your insightful responses. Hmph...so now if I screw up I can't blame the program. haha.

You're right, Chosen. I'm so sorry..I should have checked the link first before assuming it was where I got the PSDs. I downloaded my original .obj straight from the SL website. I just tried the ones from the link you sent and it is working fine now. So, there WAS something wrong with the .obj file. I was going crazy all day and yesterday trying to figure it out. Thank you so much! Forgot to answer your question about changing the original .obj file in another program. No, I didn't do anything to it except bring it into PS.

Thank you Chosen. I will try that..although I do have those smart PSD files from Robin's website, however, when I open them, they do not create a 3D model. They show up as a flat 2D image just as if you opened any upper or lower template PSD. Since it did not show up the same for me, I assumed that the tutorial was using an OBJ and just did not mention it. Is there something I can do to make it appear in the same way an obj would appear?

I have been trudging away trying to learn Blender but then I started to read some threads from people complaining that maybe the type of mesh in Blender will create rigged mesh clothing with blockier movement (if I understand correctly, which I probably don't). So if I want to create very high quality skirts and other clothing items within SL, is there a program that would be better for me to learn, such as Maya or 3D Max? I apologize if this is already in the threads but I did a search and didn't come across an answer to this particular question.

Hello..I'm trying to follow Robin Wood's PS CS4 tutorial and also I watched a similar tutorial from Exodus. The problem seems to be, when they paint on the avatar, the texture shows up perfectly, but when I do the same steps, the texture shows up invisible in most places. I have incuded a picture to show what I mean. I must have something configured wrong or am just missing some simple step. Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong? Thanks for any suggestions! By the way...I can load an external texture without a problem I just hid it since that isn't my problem. It is just painting directly on. I am using the SL female .obj file.

I worked as a systems administrator at an ISP for a few years and then slowly moved into building websites. Since opening a store in SL, I find that more than anything else, I love the aspect of creating textures, building and working with 3d programs. I'm still not very far into 3d programs yet, but I am hoping to advance. Basically, I have invested a lot of time improving my photoshop skills, learning sculpting, etc.  My question is, in what kind of RL job can I apply these skills? I would love to live just on what I earn from my store, but I don't see that happening anytime soon and I am losing interest in my current job (which doesn't pay very well either). I have a bachelors degree, but no specialized classes in this field. Does anybody know in what kind of field I might want to look? Thanks for any suggestions! :)

Tried ctrl + u but I'm on a Mac so it might be something different I need to type. Although I tried basically every key +u and nothing.

The script seems to be copy. It gives me an error after I delete saying I am not permitted to edit the object and then the script pops back in. Clearing cache didn't help either.

I'm on mainland so I can't do much about a sim restart but I will try to clear cache and see if that helps.

Upon closer inspection, I found a no mod "auto give LM" script inside the spout of the watering can, but although it says I can delete it, the script keeps appearing again in the same spot every time I delete.

Well, the strange thing is that I can't edit linked prims either. There are NO permissions now. I checked my inventory and the watering can was COPY only. It was just rotten luck that it was behind the building when I was linking. There doesn't seem to be any script in there.

I built a small shop structure and when I linked everything, I accidentally included a watering can that I guess was no mod. Well, now I can't mod ANYTHING at all in the entire structure or unlink. Is there anyway around this or do I have to build a duplicate store from scratch? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

This is something I would really like to know as well, Blot. I'm also curious if there will be any performance effect. Before, megaprims had a reputation for causing more lag. Will these larger prims affect things differently, as well?

I am a creator who uses photoshop to create posters and displays. I wouldn't mind finding an easier way to isolate a subject from the background without having to do it all with a pen tool. In other words, seperate an avatar from a green background without having jagged edges or having to use the pen tool. I spend SO much time just to add a different background for a poster in PSD.

Just curious... A basic search on google turned up LOADS of youtube videos on how to copybot illegally and also URLs to get it. Does LL do this easy type of search as well or do they only police things inworld? Because it seems like it would be really easy to locate these thieves by the videos and websites where they make the software available or tell you who to contact inworld to get it. Better then just chasing day alts. It's disheartening to see it so available.

It's biased, but try Orquidea for some nice casual dresses that not everyone has. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Tihuta/93/148/1802

Thanks! I am learning so much about mainland! Does anyone know which factor makes a bigger difference in lag? Memory allocated or active scripts? I visited one sim with 2000 active scripts but only 34MB memory allocated, and another sim with 5000 active scripts but 63MB allocated.

Thank you all for your encouraging comments. I feel much better about taking that plunge now.

So, I guess it's true that there really is no stable private sim. After 3 years, the sim I've been renting on is closing and I'm left to decide if I want to go premium and buy mainland or try my luck renting on another private estate. I really don't have the funds to buy a private sim myself, so that's out. My question is...can a small business grow into a thriving upscale brand on mainland? Isn't mainland better just for residential? Are there frequent enough sim restarts to deal with lag on the mainland? Does anyone have a particular point of view on which way is better for a long-term business? ORQUIDEA Vintage and Modern Clothing on the Marketplace. or Visit inworld :)
