BASIC clothing tutorial- making a shirt.

great tutorial Neph

I am desperately in need of this tutorial - the one with the templates is complete crap - but when I click the links I get a page with an error message reading "Not Found
The requested document was not found on this server.

Web Server at nafii.com"

HELP! I am already frustrated with the suipplied tutorial.

uhoh.

i'll look into why the images aren't loading anymore. thanks for letting me know.

Great Tutorial. You are wonderful, Nephilaine. But you know, Chosen isn't going to be happy that you linked to that thread about the alpha channel plug in.

Happy New year!

Hello,
I just completed this tutorial using GIMP. And it seems to work fine.
So I can post GIMP Steps, but not tonight, or rather, this morning. It's 4 am and I'm off to bed.

GIMP is a free Image Manipulating Program. Works on Windows and Linux. Works on Mac with X11 installed. If you have the new duo processors you may not even need X11.

It's an awesome program considering you don't have to spend a dime!

A~M~

Nighty Nite...

It seems some of the links are not working? Sorry if this has been adressed.

I can't see it either..just an error page.

Hey, the fact that you are willing to even do this for us is generous! Who is their right might is going to complain because you had some computer problems? We are just glad there are people out there like you who are willing to help those of us out here who are just starting to learn.

You don't need to apologize for a thing. Just accept Thanks for your knowledge sharing!!!

hello,
I am not sure if this thread is still active or not, as last entries are very old....
but anyway I intend to get an answer
Where are the links everybody is talking about, I searched all the pages but couldn´t find them
Can anybody please post them for me?
Additional I saw somebody on page 7 offering a gimp tutorial on this topic ---- if this tutorial exists I would love to get this link as well, as I am working with gimp...

Thanks in advance to everybody who might be able to post me the links...

Dont know if you are still looking for stuff , but here is a link to a great tutorial.

I can't see the tutorial, I really don't get how to create you're own clothes, i can't find good tutorials, So i see you love the tutorial but..Where is it?

Just cut and paste that link into your browser. Natalia's blog has a huge stack of tutorials, and that link takes you to the index page. If I were you, I'd start at the top -- the most basic ones -- and just work my way down. If you skip over the basics and cut straight to making a shirt, you may get frustrated.

Can anyone help me decipher the differences in GIMP and Photo Shop... mostly right now with the layer names. I downloaded GIMP and there is no UV layer, so I'm unable to work through the "make your first shirt" tutorial. I am very much a beginner when it comes to any form of photo program and very obviously making clothes LOL!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I've seen tees that didn't compensate for breasts, and ones that did, and read somewhere that there is a different way of making them for men and women, can anyone point me to something that instructs on the difference?
Thanks!!

OK, I admit, I am stupid.
I do not see any link to the tutorial this thread is about.

And it gets worse:
I tried to make a simple sweater; nothing fancy, just a red, long sleeved shirt.
I used the undershirt layer, because it was meant to go UNDER a T-shirt I made for the shirt layer.

So I go into Edit Appearance, I make a new undershirt, pick color RED, do NOT use any texture and expect to be able to set the sleeve length with the slider.

But NO: The sleeve length slider does nothing! And the red sleeves cover all my arms, up to and including the fingertips! What is wrong? Has SL changed??

I also tried on a purple jacket I made years ago. (And used to look perfectly, back in those days (2006).) It is on the jacket layer. This one is textured, simply a texture for the print of the fabric, not a fancy alpha texture. This one turn ALL my avatar except the face purple!! Again: What is wrong? Is this normal in the current version of SL??
