Textures

Can anyone tell me please, if there is a way to grab a texture off of an exiting object to use on a new object?

If it is a texture in your inventory, you click that you are editing a texture, pick the texture and look in the edit window texture tab for a picture of the texture, then click it, you should get an inventory extract from where you can paste that texture somewhere else

Hi Ed44, and if it isn't in my inventory? lol

unless you yourself uploaded the textures no not without committing texture theft which i will not condone you doing or explain how to go about it... Needless to say you could ask the creator if you could have a copy of the texture to use.....Again i dont condone stealing textures so its either ask or make something similar of your own accord....Because otherwise its texture theft which really is crappy......

The legal way, if you don't already own the texture, is to contact the maker of the prim, and ask if you may obtain a copy of the texture from them. If it is a freebie texture, or one they own the rights to, they may give or sell you a copy. If they purchased it, they can probably tell you where you can purchase a legal copy for your own use.

If you have the texture already, then the eyedropper tool in the editing tools can be clicked on the textured surface, to apply that texture to a selected surface of the new prims that you are editing. If this does not work, you don't own the texture and must obtain it.
