Creator's Notes & Tips:
Graphics!!!
I have used small sized graphics for the excellently LOW Kb to help reduce overall client crashing.
This also leaves you plenty of Kb Room to add your wonderful artwork and still have a light weight product.
Please note, if your color combinations are not working, adjust the Vertex On or Off as needed.
You can also adjust the "Self Illumination". Experiment with these settings.
You may use any size graphic you wish. If you need more detail use a Larger Graphic 256x256 or 512x256, etc. This
project may use Mapped (below) and / or Standard graphics in a 128x128 (low Res/Kb), 256x256 (normal Res/Kb) and up to 512x512 (High Res/Kb) Look closely at my "starter" textures in the Create Mode to get an idea of their layout, sizes, more... Experiment!
Some textures are 'standard' (as in the preview pane of Create Mode except for any UV Mapped as in the below) Change as many textures as you want.
Can you use my textures on any of my products? YES!
Can you use my textures on other people's products? No.
Sample Texture Material Opacity -
This project uses some Opacity Maps and standard textures as you can see looking closely in the Create Mode.
Please, keep in mind, your graphics dimensions can be larger or smaller than mine.
Opacities are made like this one below
It works to remove parts of the picture in the Chat Client Like this one...
These materials when used with an opacity can be very simple as above and can be
very complicated. this depend on the effect you are seeking.
HEY! - Want to expand your creations and work more with Opacity Maps? There are many places
in the IMVU Forums to search, read and even ask for help. Try looking Here: if you like to read.
Confused? Just drop me a PM and I will respond as soon as possible.
You may also find handy the " Creator's Helping Hands" It makes the avatar Stand Still for photos, etc.
