SL Clothes Previewer

Hey there Armoe! Without you being more specific about your problem (what exactly happens when you click the download link?) all I can suggest is try again. You know how it is with computers, sometimes something just randomly fails when you try the first time but works fine the second time.

EDIT: Hm, I just tried the download link and it's not working. The file is still listed on fileden, so maybe their server is having trouble at the moment (an alien concept to us ) Try again tomorrow, maybe they just need a day to get their stuff together.

Hi,
Im sorry but I have a stupid question, I have downloaded and extracted the SLCP to a picture folder (not really sure where to put it) I have SL open but dont really know how to get into the SLCP to use it, could someone please help

Thank you

Thank you so much for this new tool. I haven't made any clothes yet because I'm here reading about how to do it first, but I already see what a big help it will be!

The mannequin is wearing the templates right now, so I can see where everything is

firstly thanks for the utility...most useful, I'm sure it will save loads of time and L$

i have a pair of shorts with an alpha layer as obviously the lower leg needs to be visible. When I load the texture in the second box leaving the default base layer in the upper of the three available spots, my shorts are visible (yay), but the lower leg is black (boo)..Shouldn't the mesh of the base layer show through or am I just screwing the alpha up?

I would check in SL but it's down atm and has been for some time

EDIT: forget the above..I worked out how to use PSP properly..well at least concerning masks and alpha channels.

Wow - now I can carry on even when the grid's down *again*.

Thanks dude, you really know where your towel is.

You can unzip the archive anywhere, just make sure you remember where you put it. I just have it in a folder on my desktop. You don't need to have SL open at all to use it. The whole point is to be able to preview textures on an avatar without having to sign in to SL To run the previewer, just double click the slcp.exe file in the folder where you unizipped it.

I have to say...

This program is probably one of the most useful tool for SL I've come across.
Nice and simple just as I like it.

There is one little thing I'd like to get implemented in the program. I'm a sucker for nearly psyched detailing so my most my skin needs 10 uploads or more for me to be completely satisfied only due to the fact that I can't close inspect the hands and feet properly.

Besides the it would be REALLY nice if the user could make the 'model' in the program sit and stand normally (not that arms-out-to the side pose) for being able to see if the skin/clothes/etc. twists and stretches correctly.

I'm just hard to satisfy but I must say that this little program has saved my eon of loading time in SL. Thank you very much.

Happy New Year to you all

Best Regards

Have people tried AvPainter? I just noticed this on slx. I wonder if Pootle decided to write that after seeing slcp. It looks very cool, I'll have to try the demo.

Hi Johan!

I had just started on AvPainter when you revealed your SLCP program with this thread. The initial spark was frustration with seams and edges not being quite where I'd hoped they would be, playing around with the XNA/Game Studio Express stuff from Microsoft, and discovering the mannequin download section on the SL website. It all suddenly made sense. I've seen artists at work using Deep Paint 3D and the like, and thought it would be cool if I could draw pixels onto the avatar textures just by clicking on the avatar itself.

The level of interest generated by SLCP was definitely encouraging, though! Helped me through the dark days when changing XNA beta versions would eat my project...

Hope you don't mind too much - I don't want to tread on your toes!

I don't mind at all. Heck, I was never planning to go as far as 3D paint anyway.

I have the same problem as him, and I was really hoping to use this program when a friend told me about it. Anyone got any crazy ideas of why this would be not working for me (and Stephen )? Thanxz!

Man, I should add this to the readme. The issue here was covered a while ago in this thread, but I guess it's pretty buried. For reasons that I don't understand, slcp won't start if sl is already running, although you can start sl while slcp is running. In short, make sure to quit SL before starting slcp.

I would like to thank you very much for this excellent tool.
I just started of in SL after I been doing stuff with operation flashpoint and VBS1 for a few years. So I was looking into making textures the moment I signed up. Your tool will be quite some help to get me started in SL.

Thanks a lot... I try and find your name online and drop you a few L$.
Still need to get used to some basics though

Wow Johan.. this tool is fantastic. Just now found this and it. Im amazed.

Thanks so much for creating it for our use.

WOW hi , Oh My God, I Am so exited about this tool, I am new and look forward to do something here, and making the clothes can be a good step, I h hope.
Thank You 4 SHARING!!!!

this is fantastic.. I'm looking forward to diving into development.

thanks ^_^

and *hugs*

and *gifts*

and I'll have to find your store once I have money to spend.... I buy too many cloths.. lol.

Just don't tell my SLCP this because it apparently doesn't know it can't load while SL is running.

I typicaly start designing when I get bored in SL and stay logged in just opening Photoshop and then SLCP when I need to preview. Not sure why it works for me but it does.

mum's the word

Thank you for this usefull tool.

It was what i needed so much.

Making clothes is now more simply.

Greetings from Germany, *hugs*

when i make a texture using some of the templates, then i load it into SLCP, the female mesh shows it perfectly, but on the male mesh it is skewed. is that because most templates are made for /with the female model or is it an issue in SLCP?

it's really frustrating as hell.

ZR

A few pages back (forget where exactly) someone reported that issue. The problem is that the male model provided by LL for download has messed up UVs, nothing I can do about that. It sucks huh.

how do i use this?...i'm a complete newb...if i try to open the EXE file it keeps giving me an error message...do i open it IN second life?

same here...is this addressed?...can't find a solution....
