Second Life Furry Avatar Tutorial 02.1 - More Eye Textures

[theamericanwolfman]

how do i make that eye animation/texture? or how do i make a facial texture in general? (has looked up tutorial and found jack squat)

[ZombieZephyr]

@theamericanwolfman What I did was take advantage of the 2x2 tiling of animated textures using llAnimateTexture. How I'd start now, in hindsight, is with a 512x512 texture. Animate all 4 frames of the eye blink on separate layers. Then, using the Offset filter, copy all 4 layers to a 1024x1024 image and use the offset filter to move each one 256 pixels right/left and up/down til it matches the order I show.

Can someone help me i dont get this game does it cost real money, are you a human or animal, is it free?

[ZombieZephyr]

@TwoManEvolution It uses real money but does not directly cost real money. There is an exchange rate between the in-game currency and USD/Euros, etc, so you can buy and sell $L.

As for what you can be, you can design objects, animations, and textures to build vehicles, weapons, and avatar parts, then combine them however you see fit. So, you can be a human, animal, robot, anything as long as you or someone else has built it (and potentially sold it thereafter).

geez second life is so custom designer friendly im a little over loaded X_x... Also this video is cool... but it isn't explaining enough for me to use what your presenting at all. I know adobe sorta and I've been working with it about 2 years now, but little things like "make certain the pupil layer is flattened, and has no alpha layer" is a great tip and all. The problem is how do u check that, and how do u do it?

[ZombieZephyr]

@kingdomheartsss Alpha will refer to anything that has transparancy. If you flatten a pupil layer (instead of just merging visible) it classifies the image as opaque instead of 100% opacity. There's no visual difference but 100% opacity still has alpha values present, meaning it can potentially be transparent, thus it'll screw up when placed behind another alpha layer. Thus, you'd need to flatten it by going to Layer > Flatten Image when you're done

[arielnarut0]

Can you upload the .psd of that eyes?

[ZombieZephyr]

@arielnarut0 no

[amythemistcat]

Do you know of a game that offers the same level of customization that SL has, but does not suck?

[ZombieZephyr]

@amythemistcat Sadly, no. I have to be content with my art instead.

[amythemistcat]

@ZombieZephyr Aw man. Welp, I guess that's just how it goes.

[thebestplayerful]

[ZombieZephyr]

@thebestplayerful Yes, try that

[thebestplayerful]

[fabiiloca10]

I think you should also know that I do not speak English the problem is that I use a translator, sorry for not noticing what went before you post your comment. (: -!

[ZombieZephyr]

@fabiiloca10 I understand. I'm trying to type simply. English is confusing, haha. :P

[KaylinKitten]

@ZombieZephyr Lol.

Other languages to me are confusing :3

[ZombieZephyr]

@fabiiloca10 I'm not sure what you mean by queue... If you're referring to the animation in the facial prims, that's done by a script which I have a link to a script in tutorial 2.0 (the previous one).

If you're referring to hair, I'd use a torus prim with a full taper. You can modify the radius, skew, and cuts to give different lengths and thickness. It looks nicer than flexible cones, though you can use both together to have somewhat a moving effect.

@egocentress Check my profile. Definitely never.

I quit after a hacking incident, due to failure on LL's part to act.

[egocentress]

@ZombieZephyr That sucks.
