Way back when bad seams were the norm (with a few exceptional exceptions) I made some outfits for the fun of it. Now the bar has been elevated and I am having trouble pulling up. Thanks to Chips templates, I'm closer than I was previously but still "seam" to be falling short. Someone posted a link to tattoo which looks highly grooverific but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the textures on the avatar...any help or a finger point to a tutorial would be faboo....love you guys in advance and please refrain from pointing and laughing

not really a tutorial but basically.......
you save the textures into the same folder with the model (SL_female.obj and SL_male.obj). there should already be 3 textures in there called MATERIAL_HEAD.PNG, MATERIAL_UPPERBODY.PNG, and MATERIAL_LOWERBODY.PNG. replace them with the ones you're working on but be sure you keep the names and format the same. then in Tattoo go to Edit > Reload Altered Textures or hit control-insert (same thing) to update the model. any alpha channels in your image won't actually be transparent but it will be enough for seam matching. when you get everything how you like it save your images as TGA or whatever and name them whatever you want for uploading. also it might help to go to View > Toggle Shading and turn it off. it makes it easier to see things.
hope this helps.
