SL Clothes Previewer

This tool is awesome, and I just have to say thanks. I know this will be a great help to my business partner.

I have also an M4, works great. I have only a ATI graphcard. It minds to say that NVIDEA sometimes mess with the cards, I have in my other computer a Geforce 3 (oldie) and when I install it on there, it also crashes.... might be something with a NVIDEA product bug.

Mine is a tablet. Looks like an nVidia thing, but I have the most uptodate driver there is for this laptop; they have to come from Toshiba direct as they are 'modified'.

Oh well. Any chance of a Mac version?

Just wanted to add my thanks to you for this nice little tool. I have tried to use other programs for this, but this makes it much easier and nicer.

Thank You

I was just wondering, because I figureed if I knew what the extension is then I can do output to Blender and Texture my other clothes properly out world.

Not sure what that means, but hopefully my answer helps.

Thanks Johan, just tried it out myself. Its a wonderful nifty little app when SL is down on an update. Kudos to your code work! Cant wait to upgrade to 2.0.

Not trying to be vague. If I know the extension, I can create a short skirt in blender, export it, rename the model you provided and assuming it reads it, use that to make a texture that will work with the prim (the mesh exported thru prim.blender). I prefer texture creation in psp or ps cs2.

John, the graphics card is a GeForce 6700 XL with 128 Mb RAM. It's not very well documented since they are specially made for a German company called Medion. It's usually described as a "factory overclocked 6600GT". SL does run fine on the same computer.

Just downloaded the program and keep getting error message unable to create 3d object, tried dragging all the files individually also, any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. I can't wait to try this program out, i'll visit ur store tomorrow, thx again.

If you're getting error messages that it is unable to initialize the 3D view, that means your graphics card doesn't support the rendering mode my app uses. Sorry, there isn't really anything I can do about that. You can make sure you have the latest drivers for your videocard and that may fix it, but otherwise you're just SOL.

Very nice, thank you very much.

My feature requests:
1) re-sizable
2) one more layer on top and bottom for jacket layer

Thanks for making this available!

Ok, maybe im doing something wrong lol. I saw you put in the alpha abilities but when I try adding soething to it, like a tattoo, the background is completely white. My alpha ran away! lol. And yes it is saved as a 32 bit tga from photoshop cs2.

Make sure you're using one of the initially empty layers, not the base layers.

Hmm nope! I didnt think of that, I will check that and get back to you. Thanks

I'm late to this and haven't checked out the SL Clothes Previewer myself yet, but from what I'm reading, you guys are finding it really useful and fun.

I'm all for celebrating Resident innovation, especially when it saves time on what can be such a trial-and-error process. So, I've stickied this thread in hopes of it being easier to find in the future -- thankyou Cybin Monde for letting me know.

Thanks, Torley! I of course mentioned the need on the second page, but forgot to email you for that. (heh!)
John, I noticed an access violation when changing the default head texture to a targaand then changing it (refreshing it as well). It doesn't like to have two targa heads without its own. No issues on the other body parts.
Have you tested this on a Vista build yet? Just so everyone knows, Second life is NOT working with Vista. Hopefully this will be fixed by launch.

Does that only happen with targas? If so, I think I know what I did wrong.

Not tested on Vista, no. Sounds like you have Vista; can you try it for me?

When I try to load the .exe it prompted me with Error: Unable to create 3D Scene. I don't know what's wrong.

As far as I know, yes only with targas. And the problem with Vista RC2 is the lack of a decent OpenGL driver. UAC is a pain too. My suggestion, let the gamma testers work out the bugs. (The first year buyers)

been using this wonderfull program since you first put it online ..but,,and you knew there would be one ..hah ha
is it posible to change the back ground colour to suit what you are working on at that time,as when working with black clothes it can get a bit swkward to see/match up the folds

oh this is freakin' excellent!

Change the background color, I can do that. I don't know if it'll be a full color picker though, just choose between black, white, and skyblue (for a more natural look.)

I am getting a distortion in the clothing right down the midline chest and abdomen when using the male avatar form. It goes away with the female form, and it's both clothing that I have made and that others have made. If I use the female form only to preview men's clothing, will it cause problems when uploading and fitting to man's avatar?

I just uploaded version 1.22
It now allows you to change the background color.

thunder, I was not able to replicate the error so there's no fix there. I applied a tga to both layers of the head, hit refresh, no problem.

kenbro, note that the UV coordinates of the model are a little distorted for the male model, since it has the same UVs as the female but the vertices are shifted on the model. Have you tried uploading something and seeing how it looks like on a male avatar? It should be just like it looks on the male in the previewer.
