        • Outer Layer (arms) - Gloves
        • Outer Layer - Jacket
        • (NOTE: Jacket will cover Gloves)
      • Construct complex garments with layers
    8. Important Concept - Layering

        • Middle Layer - Socks
        • Outer Layer (arms) - Pants
        • Outer Layer - Jacket, bottom
    9. Make Underpants
    10. Why Make Underpants
      • Privacy
      • Community Norms
      • What if strangers wander by?
      • Adhere to Linden Labs Terms of Service
    11. Automatically Wear
    12. Almost Ready - Take Off Outerwear
    13. Ready
    14. Go!
    15. Overview
      • New garments are set to defaults
      • Modify color / tint
      • Customize textures
      • Customize length, neckline, etcetera using sliders
    16. Using Layers
    17. 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.
    18. Tinting
    19. Remember “Select” Button
    20. Sliders - Ladies, Try Sleeves at 2%
    21. About Sliders & Settings
      • Each garment has a variety of parameters that can be customized
      • Options include length & shape
      • Options are displayed as images illustrating both extremes
      • Beneath each pair of images is a slider that can be used to scroll back and forth to find the setting you like best
      • Beside the slider is a small text box that allows you to type in the desired percentage, if you prefer
    22. Adding Textures
    23. 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.
    24. Repeat with Other Garments, Until Satisfied
    25. Make Outfit
    26. About Making Outfits - 1
      • If you’ve never made an outfit before, make one basic backup that has the entire “you” - skin, eyes, hair, everything. Check ALL available boxes.
      • Name outfit a distinctive and unique name, such as
        • [your avatar name]-Basic
      • Outfit will appear in inventory as a folder with the name you specified
    27. About Making Outfits - 2
      • If making additional outfits to supplement your wardrobe:
        • Check boxes only for those clothing / garment / accessories that are part of this specific outfit
        • Do not check boxes for body parts such as hair, skin, etc.
        • Name outfit something unique and distinctive to ease finding it in your inventory
    28. About Wearing Outfits
      • Find the desired outfit in your Inventory
      • Right click on the folder for two options
        • 1. Replace outfit
        • 2. Add to outfit
      • Replace will remove everything you are wearing now, and the look for something new from the folder.
        • Warning : You may end up bald, since it may remove your hair.
      • Add will not remove what you are wearing, and will only replace items that match, ie. Pants for pants.
        • Warning : You may end up wearing parts of two different outfits, mixed up.
    29. 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.
    30. Wearing Outfits, Take 2
      • Right-click on desired folder for outfit; choose Replace Outfit .
      • Right-click on folder “! - Always Wear”; choose Add to Outfit .
