DAZ Studio
Think of DAZ Studio as a complete virtual photo and film studio. Real-world photo or film projects pose challenges. These begin with scouting for places to shoot, and end when you have all of the images or footage you need.
Photoshop plug-in for SL “Fake Bake” with RGB Theta plugin « Random Ramblings, Tip & Tricks
In February of 2010 the official Second Life Forums flicked a switch and moved over to a new fomat. I have edited the links to point to the archives, hopefully you can still follow along. :) Somewhere deep down in the official forum archives you can find this absolute GEM of a filter for Photoshop. BUT- to save you the effort of finding that post (it’s not the easiest thing to find), I’m just going to post the jist of it here. The original thread for this dates back to December of 2006 O.o … WHY this wasn’t stickied I have no idea! So… what the heck is “RGB Theta”, and what can you do with it?
Roadkill UV Tool
Quality of Life Enhancement Device for Computer Artists Roadkill If a good proportion of your life is spent texture mapping polygon meshes, then you should probably install Roadkill.

Second Life » Sculpt Blender
In this tutorial, you will learn how to add an alpha channel to your sculpt map to protect it from theft by screenshot and how to add a watermark to the alpha channel to let people easily tell that you made it. Many people don’t like to include modify permissions on their merchandise to protect themselves against theft, however, there is a way to protect your sculpties from theft and STILL include modify permissions. The easiest way to steal an object’s sculpt map is the screenshot method. The thief opens up the edit window, clicks on the sculpt map, and then takes a screenshot. He’s then free to crop the sculpt map from the screenshot and re-upload it into Second Life. However, there’s a cure.

Avatar Size vs Hip Height, Leg Length (Poser animations)
heyas; what is the "trick" for doing proper height animations for different sized avatars? i have created a 'tiny' avatar, and to test that it is the proper size, i created several versions of the T pose, lowering the character into the ground at the knees, waist, palms, and eyes. the regular t pose stood on the ground fine, but then the following poses sank lower and lower further from the mark. aha, i thought, perhaps the hip has to stay the same height as the default, and i move the ground up to the shorter avatar's feet?

Understanding the sculpt map format
Understanding the sculpt map format is one of the most important things a sculptie maker can know. This knowledge makes choosing the basic sculpt type easier and also allows many advanced techniques to be used in the modelling process. It will also help you to understand what the Primstar scripts are doing to make things quicker for you. Don't worry if you don't understand all of this the first time you read it. I'll be mentioning the concepts here in different contexts throughout the manual. Come back and read it again after finishing the manual and creating a few sculpties and it should be a lot easier to follow.
