Help With Tattoos

How do  I make a tattoo so that it's only on one arm. I use Chip Midnight's templates by the way.

Hi Zapphoria,

There is only one arm in the classic avatar texture map, and that's mirrored to make the other. So, you can't do a one-arm tattoo that way.

But you can cheat if the tattoo is small. Apply your tattoo texture to the outside of a cylinder, make the ends transparent, and then attach the cylinder to your upper arm or forearm. You'll want the tattoo to be much narrower (probably no more than 1/4th the texture width) than the full texture size so it doesn't wrap all the way around. It can go top to bottom in the texture, as you can adjust cylinder length to suit. You could also texture one face of a cube, and make all the other faces transparent. This will work fine if the tattoo is really small.

Size and position the cylinder/cube so that the tattoo image is barely above the avatar skin in the desired position, and follows the contour of the arm well. Cam away to normal viewing distance to make sure the tattoo doesn't vanish. Close inspection will reveal the tattoo is hovering above the skin but, from a distance, few will notice.

Good luck!

Você baixa uma textura, com o desenho no canto, e faz upload para o SL, criando tatto

O SL tem um viewer, que você pode treinar suas criacoes e saber se ficou bem localizada os uploads, usando o SECOND LIFE BETA

Nele você preenche um questionário, depois, ganha lindens, somente para fazer muitas uploads e saber se ficaram boas....

o que uso é o VIEWER cOOL VL...

 

Lembre-se sempre de usar a imagem em PNG tendo fundo transparente
