How To Upload Shirt!!!

i have difficulty in uploading shirt because i dont even see the word at all.. pls help me resolve this problem! thanks!!

This is what appears on my "file" menu

You want Upload Image (or Bulk Upload if you have a bunch). Then, in SL, Edit Appearance, create a new shirt and set your image as the texture.

Take a look at the tutorials in the Wiki http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Clothing_Tutorials.

erm.. but the shirt i wanted is not in the folder it provides. i created my own shirt and how do i make my avatar wear it?

You upload the texture, then go into Appearance and choose Shirt > Create New Shirt. Click the Fabric window, then browse for the shirt texture and select.

You can also open the Inventory window and choose the Create > Create New Shirt option, but you'll still need to wear it and go into Appearance to apply the texture.

but i cant seem to upload the image.. =( u can take alook at the screen shot i uploaded in my first post..... theres nothing "upload image" for me to click.

anyway, if i want to be a fashion designer, how do i be a successful entrepreneur? as in.. i dont know how to go about doing it.. like even if i design my clothes, how is that going to make me successful? how do i make my product known? do i buy land and set up a shop? pls help!

I don't know why you don't have that option.


I have to say, there are people who have been in SL for years and are still trying to figure that out. Most content creators do what they do because they enjoy it, not because they're looking to be super successful or make tons of money.

here is the sticky in the design and textures forums about clothing tutorials.

Hopefully that works out for you and you have some products so you can move on to actually starting a business.

im currently embarking on an entrepreneur project and im taking the role as a fashion designer. i do not have to fulfill the entire journey but talk about the stages of how a fashion designer can become a succesful entrepreneur.

right now, my stages only have..

stage 1: learning basic of second life
stage 2: establishing a better social net work
stage 3: learning skills of designer

can u help me with the other stages to become an entrepreneur eg, establishing a firm? thanks!

ahh k

stages 1 2 and 3 look okay. Sounds like you are on stage 1.



stage 4: develop a product line

stage 5: buy/lease some land and put together a store

stage 6: marketing

stage 7: (hopefully) profit

stage 8: become jaded as profits decline in the wake of ever increasing competition.

THANKS SO MUCH! now ive a clearer goal... erm.. what do u mean by developing product line? and marketing?

if you are not clear on what developing a product line is, then either you need to learn English, or stop trolling, or do some web based research

If you do not know what marketing means (and I do not mean how to market, the best ways etc) but just what marketing means, then you should not be even attempting this endeavor until you have done more research

I am sorry if I sound crass or mean, but there are a lot of experienced folks in SL trying to get ahead, and do not look kindly upon folks who want it all handed to them with a smile.

If you hit stage 8, you were never suited to run a biz anyway.

Facing your competition is something every biz must do, RL or SL.

LOL at the naivety of youth.

Is it just me or has "entrepreneur project" become the new way to say, "do my work for me?" Business in SL is just like business in RL, it takes investment, research, patience and skill. But a lot and a lot of research.

We have loads of great information in either tutorials in the texture and building forums, or the knowledge base. Torley puts out a lot of really neat tutorials that cover a lot of the basics and you can also find classes inside SL to learn from.

Oh, and the reason you might not be able to upload? Well, it takes L$10 to do so... Edit: And yes, for some idiotic reason the bulk tends to stay lit regardless...

:hrugs::

Well best wishes anyway

I think it is possible that you might be saving the texture in a format not recognized by SL? Try saving it as a .png or some other format that SL can recognize (a list should come up when you click on upload)

I think the OP's main question, is "Why is the Upload Image (along with Upload Sound and Upload Animation) greyed-out on the menu?" It shouldn't be greyed-out. That is a technical issue for which he will have to submit a support ticket.

I had a friend who was unable to Build or right-click and Edit anything, ever, because the Build button and the edit sub-menu was always greyed-out no matter where he was, even in public sandboxes where build was enabled. It took me months to work out that his problem was a technical issue. He never did get it resolved, by the time I realised it was something he needed to submit a support ticket for, his interest had waned, and in the end he quit SL. I guess it's not that interesting if you're unable to actually create anything.

Do you have any L$?



a L$0 balance might cause those menu items to be unavailable.

by the way you can still click the bulk upload and only upload one file

Wouldn't that also make the Bulk Upload unavailable as well?
