Okay, I fiddled with PS before, and so I know the basics of textures and such. I decided to try a skirt with transparency, since I had the full length down.

Quick setup is:
Alpha channel correct, file correct, bits correct, every step correct.

Then I upload to the the preview... looks good, transparent where it should be, solid where that should be. So I pay the 10L, upload and go to create the skirt with the texture.

It comes up white block style to me. I am not exactly sure why, anything that doesn't render to me is gray, so to me it looks like it's rendering fine. The open screen just shows all gray in the box. I just don't understand why preview works and it doesn't in game!

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Could you include a screenshot so we could see more what you're talking about? :)

Ummm.. okay, and I'm glad the problem was fixed. But can someone possibly explain what was happening, in case someone else has the same problem at some point?

Thanks.

I second this ^^^.

Someone else will likely have the same problem in future, and it helps build a searchable knowledge base here if the solution/problem/oversight is mentioned in this thread.

Besides, I'm just curious. :)

It was some sort of Sim issue, don't really know the full response, but apparently, it's happening quite a bit in overpopped, or overly packed zones. Supposed to be fixed with the patch this morning.

I know gender is rather fluid in SL, however, the last time I saw Lo Jacobs, he was a SHE.
