Harper Beresford Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 In my SL a few well placed tips changed my SLife:Wear a skirt shape with system skirts.Make a copy of items before adjusting them.(No photo.. heh. I forgot to save my work.)Eyes are very important. Pay close attention to how they fit, look on you, match what you are wearing, etc. That bling? Not so good. Girls can wear men's hair. It won't affect your hormones. What were some of your SLife changing lessons? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eliza Quixote Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Windlight and pretty much everything I learn from reading your blog. And also flight assist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ariel Vuissent Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Breasts don't have to be maxed on the slider to be sexy. Prim cuffs on pants rock. Prims do actually have to be adjusted to fit; that skirt that could hold two of you isn't actually meant to hold two of you, so it's okay to resize it! Not all designers are created equal. Accessorize. Prim nails are good, prim feet are good, color matching is the stuff of nightmares but UI "show color under cursor" and a windlight setting are the best tools ever when it comes to color matching.

Omni Ceriano Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Don't use too bulky of a shape when trying to look muscular. It just ends up making you look boxy. When I started SL I tried to imitate my RL appearance at that time and just ended up looking like the incredible "bulk" instead. Less is more sometimes when dealing with pixels.Also a skirt shape is just as important for men to wear when wearing suit jackets with system skirts. It really makes a difference in appearance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eve Greymoon Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Prims matter. Prim belts, shirt collars, jacket lapels, cuffs (pantsa nd shirts), buttons, jewelry etc all make the look more dimensional. Look for well made items with prim details, and learn to fit them properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pookiepie Bluecoat Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 For me face lights and then windlight settings. I HATE all bad lighting on my face. Back when I started I was tweaking my shape sooo often it was rediculous trying to fix every shadow I seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pookiepie Bluecoat Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I agree there are some good shadows for sure and I have seen some awesome photos that would not have been possible without them (or some heavy photoshoping) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanie774 Kidd Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Some of my favorites: Shift-drag to create a copy Build > Copy selection Using Ctrl + 0, Ctrl + 8, and Ctrl + 9 for photos, for building, and for fitting prim lashes Discovering the openalign script And, okay, this isn't exactly a "tip" but it deserves a mention, imo... Eloh's skin files! Not only did she make me appreciate our talented skin designers even more, her thoughtful layout/organization of her PS files made an impression on me and affected the way I've worked in PS ever since. Lol, my old PS files were pretty haphazard but now they're all tidy and orderly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leela Qissinger Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Actually so many things in SL, to make the world your own. If it is about editing and adjusting your prim clothes and hair or playing with your shapes. Till now I have learned so much about picture editing, and ready to learn and improve this!

Melusina Parkin Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 The best tip i learned is this, you can use when you are a cloud or ruthed and nothing seems working to fix it: - always keep a folder with a complete avatar (shape, skin, eyes), hair, clothes and shoes - when you are in the above poor conditions, REPLACE your outfit using that folder It seems work great and it always does!

Harper Beresford Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 And I found in Phoenix or firestorn that popping open my current outfit folder forces the outfit to load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
