What I see is not what is uploaded

Hello all,
I am running into a small problem. I have designed a ladies suit jacket with collared shirt (all one piece). However when I upload it in SL part of the shirt is missing. I have checked my alpha to make sure that area is included. I have opened the file in the SL Clothing Previewer. It is fine there, but when I go to upload it in world part of it is missing. For the life of me I can not figure out what I am doing wrong. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Holly

Sounds like you applied the texture to the shirt layer instead of the jacket layer.

Oops, I'm a moron and misread exactly what you are having trouble with. I second the above post which suggests the texture may have been applied to the wrong layer. Make sure it's on the jacket layer so it 'sees' everything.

Will the SL Previewer show an entire jacket? I haven't tried it yet but I'm guessing, since the options are head, upper body, lower body, skirt, that it won't be able to show a jacket.

Short of checking it on the beta grid (and I'm not sure how kosher that is or if no one cares) I'm not sure how to preview a jacket. Maybe in Daz Studio and choosing upper body and lower body materials?

Yes, the previewer can show a whole jacket. But the OP is saying that after import is where the problem is. So I am betting he's looking at a shirt or undershirt layer with a jacket texture applied to it.

Hi! At the risk of sounding stupid, but have you checked the sliders?

If it's part of the shirt that's missing, it's possible that they are still set to the default, which clips the shirt in several places.

(This caught me a couple of times when I was first making clothing, before I realized that I had to pull everything to 100% to make sure that the clothing I designed was completely visible. )

Thank you everyone for your replies! I feel so silly. I figured it out. I apparently had two alpha channels. Ugg!!

Thank you all for the help!
