How to create a PG version of your skin

Tue, 03 Aug 2010 22:04:42 +0000

In response on a recent comment, here’s how you can create PG versions of the skins from this site by baking the clothing textures directly on them. For this tutorial, we will be using Gimp.

First, open the skin texture of your choice in Gimp, and the clothing texture along with it. Select the window with the clothing texture and chose “select all” from the selection menu (ctrl+a), then select copy (ctrl+c) from the edit menu. Switch over to the window with the skin texture and select paste (ctrl+v) from the edit menu to see your clothing texture applied right onto the skin at the place it is supposed to be. Now save the file under a different name (select “save as” from the file menu). You will be prompted to export the file as .png because it has several layers which png doesn’t support. Select export there and chose a new name for your file. Now upload the newly created skin and follow the tutorial on how to apply it to your avatar.

TGIB Skins verwenden

Sat, 19 Jun 2010 10:55:49 +0000

Skins dieser Seite können kostenlos im OSGrid auf Ever 01 erhalten werden. Zusätzlich biete ich hier die Quelldateien zum Download an, um sie in jedem anderen Grid, inklusive Second Life, zu verwenden. Um einen Skin zu erstellen, laden Sie zuerst alle Texturen herunter, die für den Skin erforderlich sind und laden Sie sie in den Grid, in dem Sie sie verwenden wollen, hoch; oder holen Sie die Texturen in der Region Ever 01 zur Verwendung im OSGrid. (Die Basis-Skins haben gemeinsame obere und untere Sets, die für jedes ihrer Makeups verwende werden können.) Klicken Sie dann mit der rechten Maustaste auf einen Ordner (vorzugsweise den ‘Body Parts’ Ordner) in Ihrem Inventar und wählen Sie ‘new body part’ > ‘new skin’. Ändern Sie die Bezeichnung des Skins wie sie möchten und ziehen Sie ihn dann mit einem Rechtsklick darauf an. Mit einem weiteren Rechtsklick auf ihren Avatar wählen Sie ‘Appearance’, und wählen dann die ‘Skin’ Kategorie. Sie sehen dort drei leere Felder die (missverständlich) ‘head tattoos’, ‘upper tattoos’ und ‘lower tattoos’ genannt werden. Ziehen Sie die entsprechenden Texturen von ihrem Inventar in diese Felder (das Makeup kommt zum ‘head tattoo’, der Oberkörper zum ‘upper tattoo’ und der Unterkörper zum ‘lower tattoo’). Klicken Sie dann auf ‘Save’.

“Tides are turning, the river’s rolling on,
And the thirteenth moon is riding high beneath a liquid sky.
Leaves are crumbling, the final fall’s begun.
Under crystal waves and mirror lakes,
In dreams of endless summerdays,
The last season is run, season is run.”

- The Grey In Between, The 13th Moon

“To the northern sphere the purple priest called out into the field.
In a crystal shard a frozen icy heart began to bleed.
The seven glowing signs unfolded dancing through the streets.
As the eleventh hour struck two ancient spirits meet.”

Which words will play and which will ponder
´Til there will yonder come the May
When every play is torn asunder”

Using TGIB Skins

Sat, 23 Jan 2010 21:56:01 +0000

The skins on this site are freely available on OSGrid at Ever 01. Additionally, I offer the source texture files for download to use them in any other grid, including Second Life. To make a wearable skin, first download all textures needed for the skin and upload them to the grid you like to use them into, or get the textures inworld at Ever 01 for use in OSGrid. (Basic skins have a common upper and lower base that can be used for any of their makeups.) Then right-click on a folder (preferably the ‘Body Parts’ folder) in your inventory and chose ‘new body part’ > ‘new skin’. Rename the skin the way you like, then right click and wear it. Right-click on your avatar and chose ‘appearance’, then select the ‘skin’ tab. You’ll see three empty spaces named (misguidingly) ‘head tattoos’, ‘upper tattoos’ and ‘lower tattoos’. Drag the according texture from your inventory into these spaces (the makeup goes to the ‘head tattoos’, upper body to ‘upper tattoos’ and lower body to ‘lower tattoos’). Then click on save.

Black Base

A thousand times I shed my skin

Changed my colour and my kin

Sought not to flee and not to win

But to be free of right and sin

- The Grey In Between, “Life”

This skin is based on templates offered for free by Eloh Eliot, without makeup or modifications. It serves as a base for all rosy black skins, the body allowing for different combinations of freckles and body hair. (Regular skins are made to serve all manner of timeframes and interests, and especially makeups that hail from a bygone decade require some different attitude towards body hair.)

This is a basic freebie skin without makeup, based on templates offered for free by Eloh Eliot ( http://eloheliot.blogspot.com/ ). Each skin comes in three versions: shaven, unshaven and fully unshaven, some additionally with freckles.

They are created with the body hair matching the according hair colour.
