Ok, I got a skin i makes but I'm having trouble with muscling, anyone have a upper and lower body shading I could put on top of a skin to define the muscles better? Cause for my dragon avy I'm trying to make a ruby looking skin with high muscle definition if anyone wants a chalenge =p I'm not that good with paintshop pro and trackball mice don't do this well so I'm having lots of problems. So yes, please help me! Basicly what I need is a jepg the is the shading that defines muscle on the upper and lower body that I can slap on top of a skin i made.

you might want to get some sources for muscle anatomy size them and make an overlay, practice drawing the muscle structure till you get the look and feel your after.

Look in the \Character folder

In the \Second Life\Character folder is a file entitled bump_upperbody_base.tga, it will help you. It's definitely very far from perfect, but I think you will find it a helpful beginning, along with a good anatomy for artists book, available at your local library. Have fun!

You need tgas in SL. Which program are you using?

Photoshop does TGAs, as does the GIMP (it's free)
