In an effort to try and do something almost creative I've started to make some of my own clothing textures in Photoshop.

On this side of things I'm fine but I've got myself a copy of Poser 5 so that I can preview my creations offline and have absolutely no idea what I'm doing with it.

I've got as far as getting the SL avatar mannequins as my character but can't seem to manage to find a way of getting my exported textures to show as clothing so any help in this direction would be much appreciated. I did search the forums and wiki but could only find advice on starting animations, which is cool, but I'll save that for later.

And don't worry, I'm never going to get good enough to compete with the rest of the talent out there

. Just have a desire to create my own cheesecloth smock.

For simply previewing textures, you would probably be better off with this program:

/109/f4/32414/1.html

I'm not sure how you would do this in Poser. If you don't get any response to your question in a day or so, you may want to crosspost this in the Animation forum, because the people who really know poser tend to hang out there.

What should such fellows as I do crawling between earth and heaven? We are arrant knaves, all; believe none of us.

Previewing Clothing

03-30-2005 15:54

For the most part, I create clothing while I have SL windowed. When I am done and want to preview the item(s), I switch to SL and select

FILE>UPLOAD IMAGE

a window pops up to display the image I am importing (uploading, etc) and what helps, is there is a drop down menu under PREVIEW IMAGE AS.. which allows you to select the type of model to use to preview your clothing... quite useful I think..

Just FYI.
