I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness.

Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut.

I would also suggest finding tutorials and design tips outside of SL. All you need to know to make clothing in SL is how to use the clothing templates.

But theres alot you can learn about shading and realism on tutorials outside of SL.

I found some ingame classes in SEARCH under the EVENTS tab using the keywords NCI CLASS. Some that might interest you are titled Basic Clothing Creation, Introduction to Textures, Prim Clothing Creation, Avatar Makeover, etc.

Maybe I'll see you at the next one ^_^ Probably a good low pressure way to meet new people also, with a common interest.

LOADS of awesometastic info. I've learned so much from her site. She even provides tutorial materials for free in her store.
