Anyone seen a Trapdoor or Cellar Door texture anywhere? I have a one prim panel that right now looks like a wood plank. I'd like to make it look like an old world style trapdoor with an iron lift ring and henges. Problem is, my paint skills are limited to about drawing stick figures at best. It's not something I plan to market or sell. Just a custom item for my own old world style cottage on a lot I'm renting as a home.

If you have a digital camera and you have something you want to replicate, take a photo and upload it as a texture.

Haven't seen a free one, but I could make you one, pretty cheap. That is, if you would be willing to set a price you think it is worth to you. Send me an IM, in-world. Heck, I might even consider doing it for free. I could probably use it in some of the buildings that I am preparing for sale...

There's lots of artists here who would likely do it for nothing, for that matter.

Well, I was hoping to find a free one that was in an archive or something somewhere. I'm justly a lowly basic account player trying to make a few things for the rental property I'm living in. I doubt I have the kinda L$ it would take to pay a skilled texture designer. Fact, right now, I only have a few hundred.

The cellar (skybox) I built that I need the trapdoor (teleporter) really isn't anything special or even precision built. But it kinda matches one of the prefabs I bought from "Houses that Jack Built". Most of this stuff, I'm still just getting started learning.

I'm just a Basic member too. We might be able to work out something you can afford, like just L$5 to L$10, depending on how much detail you want. I'm not talking hundreds here.

Okie. L$10 it is then. I'll look for you in-game. And thanks!

Done! It's in your inventory now. Of course, the L$10 just paid for the upload charge I had to pay to import the texture in-world. But now I have another usable texture for my own building work, so I'm happy with the deal.
