Ineed Serenity Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 It's been a few years since I've designed anything, and I lost all my former Photoshop files and anything else I used to create.There was a tiny program that basically showed avatars and allowed you to preview the clothing on it so you didn't have to worry about uploading and wasting money if it didn't fit correctly.I am referring to regular system clothing (not mesh or sculpties). Any ideas? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolig Loon Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Yes, we all used that program for many years. It was nice for its time. Today, though, you can use Local Textures for previewing any textures (including clothing) before uploading them permanently. Take a look >>> http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/User:Rolig_Loon/Local_Textures . One of the nicest things about Local Textures (other than being free) is that any changes that you make on your computer (in Photoshop or GIMP, for example) and then save to your hard drive will immediately appear on the local texture that you have applied in world. That means you can wear a local texture while you work on it in Photoshop and see how each of your edits looks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineed Serenity Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I'm using Firefox so I am able to view it as an upper female body, but my question lies in what happens if I have a Lower part that needs to line up with the Upper part. I can't do that using the regular way. Hence where that program may come in handy...something that allows me to use two different body parts on one avatar.

Go into Appearance mode, select Edit Outfit, and create a new shirt and new pants (or new skirt). Then apply your local textures to each of the two. Save the outfit. Your avatar will be wearing the new clothes, with your local textures, as long as you are still logged in. Because you can see any updates that you make to your textures in Photoshop as soon as you save them, that's an ideal way to see how well you have aligned the upper and lower body textures.

As I pointed out, though, it's far inferior to using Local Textures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolig Loon Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 YW. It's a pretty cool option. Good luck. :smileywink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbie Faulds Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Another option is to pop into the beta grid. You are given an allowance there to "load" textures or whatever. You can totally preview your clothing and no cost to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeydaAnn Ferryhill Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Av Painter is one app that allowes you to see system clothing on your PC. check here. It's a bit pricey but it's a great tool https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/AvPainter-SL-Clothes-Design-and-Preview-Tool-Full-Version/166800 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
