For you new and more experienced designers, try out the SLCP offline 3D viewer! While you can't make changes, it allows you to upload texture maps for clothing and skins to preview them before uploading to SL! Banshee Studios has released an updated version that you can download at this link: http://www.bansheestudios.com/files/slcp_win.zip. I've enclosed a screenshot of the application so you can see the tool:

This is the screen without any of your textures added, It can do both male and female bodies, and change the background color if needed. You have the ability to fly around and zoom on the image. This is great to check for errors or image adjustments! I have GIMP open in one window and SLCP that way I can go back to GIMP and make any changes and reload the final image after saving. If you have any other tools, post a comment and a review!

New Title

Just a quick update to the blog with a new title!

Eyes up to 13 shades

I've added more eye colors to my collection of Eyes! Colors like light blue, dark brown, amber and red! For this I've created a chart of my eyes, so take a look and let me know if I need anymore colors for my collection!

More skin colors!

I've been creating a set of skin tones for my new skin. I've built a very pale 'Goth-like' coloration, a pale color, as well as a tan and golden skin tones. I've snapped of some pictures in SL Beta of the colors in a new face texture, so let me know what you think of them!

Playing with skin color

I've taken my skin that I am working on and darkened it to a nice brown color. As you can see, the result is very nice.

My New Skin

Something new I'm working on is a new skin to wear! I have the face texture done and it's looking soo good, I'll thought I share it with everyone!
