Clothing Layers (Mesh layers)

Layers in clothing are those related with the textures that wrap the avatar. They are applied inside SL environment while in Appearance mode.

Most used in clothing are :

• Undershirt, Shirt, Jacket, and gloves for upper part avatar and
• Underpants, pants and socks for lower part avatar.

They stack on top of each other in a certain order. These are the areas they can cover to their full extent, in plain colors:

In the Upper Template:

* Undershirt layer, Shirt layer, (in orange and green). Keep in mind the same order for your designs, so you can play a bit with different pieces. Usually, the same piece of clothing is offered in those versions, and it is up to the avatar how to wear them. It's part of the fun, the mix and match process. 

The Jacket layer (in blue) mixes the upper avatar and the lower avatar. Therefore, the bottom part of the jacket has to be done on a pants or underpants layer, but defined in the jacket layer.

The amount of space for an open jacket can also be defined

in Appearance mode, while creating the jacket.

 Gloves layer belong to the same 'upper' body template.

About this blog

SL is a world inside another and, even thou its ways of presenting itself vary greatly, one comes to realize that somehow it's an extension of our daily lives. I was attracted by SL for the very reason Fine Arts enticed me: The real opportunity to learn and express beyond what we see.

I entered SL fresh from digital Art, and wanting to know more about '3D worlds'. In fact, Raytracing and modeling surely provided me with the thrill of creating a world -literally- from scratch. I wanted to know how would it be 'to live' inside one. And decided to start from Zero...And here I am!

There are many areas to explore and create, to share and enjoy and all of them are never ending endeavors. One of those was to make 3D textures I really like, and another, trying to find by myself how to design clothing. In the same way we carry with us our inventories in SL, we get to relate, and connect, with all of what we have lived in our lives. A 'feeling good' experience :-)


First entries of this blog will have to do with where we -as avatars- come from, hence the name : We are All One and the same:-)

See you in the next post!
