Hello

I've played this game back in teh day (03 I think) it was very small back then :p

Well I thought I give it a shot again... I'm trying to make my char look like superman (my biggest hero hehe) and I was wondering if I can make a cape somehow? I tried some things withthe jacket but it just didnt work... also is there a way I can import the S logo into my shirt?

not sure if there would be copyright problems if I do the logo, but if I can, can someone tell me how, and also if its possible for me to make/buy a cape?

thx!

I think if its done for yourself, with no intent of profit, just fandom, trademark isn't breached.

Otherwise all those fanboys are in trouble..

Sure can, but it would be a prim cloak (shape it, ect, and attahc to neck then adjust it into place). Flexiprims might help with the looks but I couldn't tell you how to work them.

hang in there for the next version.. floppy prims make for really nice capes.. getting the logo is easy peasy.. just google it.. cut it out in Photoshop onto a blue backround (or invisible) and upload it away.. most hair is modifyable also.. so you can buy black and add the blue streaks yourself :) red undies can be made without uploading.. AND! well we can all fly.. so thats not a great power..

Spine or chest probably best place. I call it 'neck' but to be technical its usually a shoulder or spine based on what av I have on.

Skim/search the Design and Textures forum for all kinds of useful info on clothing. (for instance, you can make up your costume from one single layer - and the best templates are in this thread.)

There is actually already a Superman avatar doing the rounds in SL.

Check out Empyrean Emporium located in Vaoetere - it may give you some pointers.

No I'm not the creator of it - just helping out :)

Flexiprim capes look AMAZIN!

Just wait for 1.9.1 to go live.

how do I join 2 objects together? so they move together, or when I sell them, they are 1 piece...
