Can someone please steer me in the right direction. I want to be able to hang some of my own artwork in my house and I've uploaded the picture and its in my textures file. Is there a place I can learn to make it something that I can hang?
I appreciate any help.

1. Rez a box, shape it into a picture-shaped box (thin in one dimension, the proportions of your artwork in the other two dimensions).
2. Set the texture (using the texture tab in the editor) to blank and set the color you want for the back and thin sides of the "frame".
3. Check "select texture" in the editor and then click on the face that is to hold your artwork, and set the texture from your uploaded artwork.
4. Name the object and take it into your inventory, or move it onto your wall.

Thanks for the help! Hi Lexi! To rez, or create a box use the "Build" button on the lower tool bar. That will open up the Edit menu. Your cursor will be a little magic wand and you will have the option to create one of several different prim shapes. Touch the ground with the cursor/magic wand with the box prim shape selected, and taaa daaaa! You now have a box. To change the size of the box, you'll use the edit option (the center tool on the top menu of the edit screen)....should already be active once you've rezzed the box. Use the rotate, stretch, select textures...etc options to change the size. Best, ~Ari |

sometimes land is marked no build but group members can rez there, in this case the build button will be greyed, you can still open the build window from ctl+4
