I'm in the process of starting a new business and require a latex skin, or outfit. Ideally would be good to have skin but can work with clothing layers.

If clothing layer, would have to be top layers to ensure things underneath are not shown. Gloves and socks also.

If possible simple TGA (photoshop files would be prefered method) however will settle for textures ingame however offered price will be reduced for ingame textures.

The latex item is not to be sold as a standalone, but rather as part of a package/service that we will be providing.

Latex does not have to be Ultra high detail. average will do. Better look/feel will get more $L.

Look forward to dealing with you.

Stable.

why would you pay less for in game textures?

if they are full perm you can actually download them to your pc from SL

and that saves you the upload fee as well (and that can start to get costly depending on how many textures you are uploading)

Because grabbing a texture from in would 1, alter the resolution, 2) Be a flat texture with no alpha layer and additional layers. 3) would require additional work in photoshop to re-create it, for dropping different numbers and text onto the latex which would be required for the project.

As with anything in life, the easier you make it for the purchaser to do something in general the more they are willing to pay for something. If have to then buy a product and alter it or do re-work on something you would not want to pay the same amount.

Consider buying a house. You would pay more for a fully decorated house that meets your requirements, whereas you would pay less if it was a house that then needed to be re-decorated, new carpets,kitchen etc.

Hope this clarrifiy's why i would pay less for an ingame texture than one ready for use straight away inside of Photoshop, and also why I am also after one out of Secondlife.

As for the upload fee's etc, would be required anyway eventually for customization as mentioned above when adding the numbers or labels, so an additional $10 here or there is very little additional in costs.

Hope this explains a little.
