Using Layers
![Page 17: Basic Clothing Design in Second Life](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052522/54c613184a795949518b45d0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Layers
• Practice exercise:– Make a bottom layer and a top layer
• Example: undershirt & shirt
– Use the sliders to make the top layer smaller than the bottom layer
– Tint each layer different colors
• Voila! The two layers will appear to be a single garment
• Layers can be used to make borders, edging, bodices, hems, and other details.

Adding Textures
![Page 23: Basic Clothing Design in Second Life](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052522/54c613184a795949518b45d0/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
About Textures • Ideas:
– Try tinting over a light colored texture for a new effect.– Make your own textures and upload.– Find images in Creative Commons or shareware collections
and upload.
• Issues: – There are many collections of free textures around SL. These
are wonderful resources.– Some “free” textures are actually stolen - and you can’t know
which are which. Some commercial stores sell textures found free at other locations.
– Recommended: Never sell anything made with a texture from a freebies collection found in SL.

About Outfits - Inventory Tips
• Consider collecting all outfits within a subfolder for a main category such as “Clothing”
• Make two additional folders:– ! - Always Wear– ! - Usually Wear
• These two folders will usually appear at the top of your inventory list (sort alphabetically)
• In “Always Wear” put your usual shape, skin, eyes, hair, etcetera. Include HUDs, Mysti, animation overriders or other tools you want to have available all the time.
• In “Usually Wear” put your favorite shoes, underwear, & tools you use often but not always.
