Does anyone have a Second Life?

That is what I was just thinkin'. ;) Looks like you got your work cut out for you! ;D BTW, I would love to keep reading about SL. I might just try it out when and if I do ever upgrade to a decent system.

Anyways, I went around yesterday checking out the shops and whatnot, I began to see how incredibly talented these people are with their creations. I am at a lost for words when I see all the work that goes into each and every one. Maybe one day I will also get to create some designs myself. Be, to design hair, makeup, clothes and all those goodies; do you need to know scripting? Any help in that area would be great. Also, when you upload patterns do you need to pay for that?

The vast, vast majority of creators in SL have no idea how to script. It's one of the reasons I got drawn to it -- I have just about NO artistic ability, and VERY poor skills in Photoshop, so it seemed unlikely I'd ever make a (second) living doing clothing design / texture work. So don't worry -- scripting is not at all necessary.
Yes, uploading a texture costs L$10 (I remember the first time I uploaded Mickey ear textures, camping for about an hour to get it, lol). On the plus side, you can "preview" your clothing with the texture, prior to uploading it, which can save you some upload fees.
If you are good with Photoshop / Paintshop Pro / GIMP (which is free), you might be all set. You could either make your OWN clothes, or even be able to sell it. (Though, getting a store up is difficult.) If you want to try to make your own clothes, this is a great blog: http://slnatalia.blogspot.com. She has some newbie tips, but better yet, goes into quite some detail (more in the earlier blog entries, than more recently) about how she designs clothes. She also uses this absolutely fabulous scripted tool written by a complete loser geek guy to help design skirts ;)

After reading all of this, and being a total non techie, I can't help but wonder.......
Does anyone have a first life anymore???
Please excuse the observations of a semi-illiterate, (that does not mean I don't understand trucks!) "ancient duck". :notme:
I just like to stir things up now and then. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I have a 2yo and a 4yo. That means -- NO, I don't have a first life anymore. ;)
My only hope for a substitute was to try to have a second life.
Of course, that hasn't worked either -- as I sit by myself on a platform, writing computer programs.

And I, unfortuantely have no life at all, I have a 6 year old and a 2 year old ( which at one point they were 5 and 2 which equals . . . ;D
Hmm, I am okay at editing photos on the computer just never tried original textures. I wonder if I could try my hand at it?
