TD Templates | Clothing Templates For SL This guide is a quick introduction providing an overview of the basics when starting to make clothes and starting your fashion store in Second Life. Avatar UV Template The avatar UV template is one of the most essential tools for clothes creators that you’ll be using all the time. It is basically a “map” showing where the flat texture is going to projected onto the avatar when worn, so when using the UV map, imagine the 2D clothing texture being wrapped around the 3D avatar. There are three parts of the Avatar UV Template, the Upper, Lower and Head. Here are links to two versions of the Avatar UV Map: Chip Midnight Avatar UV Templates Robin Sojourner Avatar UV Templates Clothing Templates A quick way to start learning the different elements that construct an outfit is to use a clothing template.

The Content Creator’s Supplementary Guide to Business in SL | Mistletoe Ethaniel's Blog Quick note: this article was written in 2009 and is long overdue for an update.

I am in no way an authority on this subject, but I do have some experience, having opened more than one business in my Second Life. Well. First and foremost: Have a good product. Graph by Prad Prathivi, made on GraphJam. The graph may have been intended as a parody, but it’s still not that far off from the truth.

How to Use the Robin (Sojourner) Wood T-shirt Template tutorial - © Robin Wood 2009 <p class="noScript">I notice you have Javascript turned off. Unless you did that to print, the page is more fun if you turn it on. Thanks! </p> Years ago there was a discussion on the Second Life forums that inspired me to make a true T-Shirt template, so everyone who wanted to could make a t-shirt quickly and easily. It was originally intended to let people who just wanted a single t-shirt, for an event, or to promote their favorite band, sim, or soft drink, to make one. It wasn't for people who wanted to really learn to make clothing in SL, although I'm delighted that it's helped with that, too. But there will be no templates for other clothing types, because if you want to learn to make clothing, you need to make your own templates as well. There's a read-me file in the package, but if you want more instruction about how to use it, read on! NOTE: In order to use this tutorial you MUST download the "Robin (Sojourner) Wood T-shirt" file.

Open an .obj File in Photoshop CS4 Extended - © Robin Wood 2009 <p class="noScript">I notice you have Javascript turned off. Unless you did that to print, the page is more fun if you turn it on. Thanks! This is the first of a four part series explaining how to start painting on a 3D file in PS CS4 Extended. Before we can paint, we have to open the file, so that's what I'll explain here! It's a very simple process. (If you'd like to watch the movie about Lighting now, it's here.) Photoshop can open any .obj file; so all you need to do is browse to the file, and open it! If you have the .obj file in the same folder with its .mtl and texture files (.jpg, or whatever they are,) it will show up with all the textures intact, and in their proper place on the model. And, really, that's all there is to this part.

(Tutorial) Photo-sourcing a face skin: Start to finish I had this random inspiration to make a skinning tutorial the other day, and since a lot of people ask about skin making I decided to make one specifically for SL. For this skin I used the 3d.sk (pay site for human photo references) model "Mike", since his face is perfectly suited for a SL skin. 3d.sk is an extremely extremely useful site for anyone making skins, or clothing textures, but sadly it costs money, and if you're a beginner you probably don’t want to pony up the 25 usd for some pictures. If you have a digital camera you can take photos of your friends with some good lighting. That'll probably work just as well. Anyways I used this same model for my mens skins, so it'll look familiar. 1. 2. 3. ) Anyways, it cleans up some of the mess in the eye area and gives your avatar a small dark rim around the eye that looks natural. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28.
