just ignore and let this one die

thank you. i'll try it out today after work

my laptop doesn't seem to get hot unless i have it IN my bed. so i just try not to do that. LOL

I assume that he sleeps in the nude. Which is somewhat confirmed by 3Rings response smilie.

I saw Eli twice this weekend. First at that men's fair and second at a live music event. He was nude on neither occasion. 3Ring was not present on either occasion.

Mmmmmm, ice cream for breakfast...

*Note to Self* Never know who's 'seeing you' around SL, and will come back and tattle to the thread. Therefore, always be circumspect and discreet.

you are very good at math.... AND at keeping Eli out of trouble. LOLOL

oh, i think that's whipped butter. breakfast looks good today Mo.

Oh, gross!!!

/me scrapes it off and goes to get some ice cream

lol...I thought it was whipped cream.

but I'll take the ice cream!

Looks like the texture nazi thread got deleted

Yeah, and I was on page 5 when things were just getting really ugly but when I clicked on page 6, I no longer had access.
Interesting that this got deleted while other equally contentious ones don't. Must have been really ugly

Wow. Just when my popcorn was ready... the "texture Nazi" thread got zapped. I don't mean locked... I mean GONE. Like it never existed. And it was just getting good
I can't believe all the drama over a freebie texture from 2004. Like anyone would actually buy it even if it wasn't available for free.

i guess i missed out on a good drama thread. lucky me. *whew*

/me shares popcorn with you anyway.

you're such a giver!

Question/request:

I want to do some retexturing in my house (stuff is modifiable) - in particular, I want to look for different tiles for my bathtub and sink areas.

Here's the question. The tub is in...4-5 sections, and if I apply the tile texture to each of the sections...they don't all line up, nor are the tiles the same size. I've been tweaking the rotations/repeats per meter, the number of horizontal/vertical repeats per face, offsets, etc., but I really don't know what I'm doing.

Is there a guide somewhere? (I've been searching. )

Oy, what a nightmare that one was.

Not that I've seen!

I was glad to find good bowling shoes, though. Also glad that a Linden passed me a copy of a bowling shirt he'd intended for that alley in Bay City.

Wow. It was still fairly calm (and I think on page 2) when I last looked at it.



Only thing I can think of is the texture tutorial on Livingtree.

Thanks, Mari. I'll take a look there.

Mo, I don't think so. I use trial and error, but there is a method in my madness.

1. Start with the biggest surface. Texture it the way you want, with the texture sized to give you a pattern you like.
2. Line up an edge of something...the edge of a board, a line of tiles, with one edge of the surface. If you are resizing in two dimensions, do the same for one of the other edges.
3. Apply the texture to the next surface. Scale it so that it's sized (by eye) the same as the first surface.
4. Start tweaking the offset until the texture aligns with the first one. If needed, go back and re-tweak the scaling. (It probably WILL be needed...as you get close to a match, differences show up more).

For an example of what I mean, take a look at the back exterior wall of my A frame house in Masocado, or the siding on the houseboat there. I fiddled with these settings for DAYS.

Hmm it's a bit hard to say without looking at what you're talking about as it could depend based on what shape the prim is that you're texturing .. or is it a sculptie? Sorry if you know this already but you can texture each face of a prim individually and alter the characteristics of each face like the rotation, repeats etc. So for something like a basic cube, it has 6 "faces" that you can texture independently. If say you have a rectangular box shaped and apply a bathroom tile like texture, you may need to adjust the repeats differently for each face so it has a uniform appearance. http://secondslog.blogspot.com/2005/09/tutorial-texture-of-our-world.html You might also need to change the planar texture mapping setting depending on the shape of the prim http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Video_Tutorial/Planar_texture_mapping

Not sure if any of that made sense but post a pic maybe or I can look at it in world later if you want. Texturing can be really tricky sometimes especially with things like sculpts. If it is a sculpt, there are also test grid patterns that you can use to help line things up https://www.xstreetsl.com/modules.php?name=Marketplace&file=item&ItemID=1656096

Oh, one more piccie, but from this morning. my friend Johnny (who is a boy and a friend, but not a boy friend, jes in case anyone forgot) stopped by to drop something off for me.

I just made Hot Toffee Sauce for my icecream. Yummy.

I did take a picture, but since the icecream started to melt as soon as I put the sauce on, it looks quite disgusting :/

ETA: it was so good that I now have a sugar headache lol.

funny Mari. too cute!



Claire - YUM! i still wanna see.
