May 3, 2007 - Hi, Eric. The video was great and very useful for new Second Life users. I've been texturing stuff for months and learned about dragging & dropping textures to a side or face of an object -- I never knew that! It would be useful if the video were a bit larger, however. It's really hard to see the small text on screen. I hope this video series continues! Personally, give me the Alpha Channels tutorial ASAP! :-)

May 3, 2007 - Next time, can Torly do the video?

bradcharlotte Says:

May 3, 2007 - The "estimate the size of texture" step can be eased by using a screen ruler tool. Search for "free ruler" or "screen ruler".

May 3, 2007 - I miss Torley's quirky sense of humor as well, but this video is TOP NOTCH. Very well done, please make more!!

May 3, 2007 - Isn't the 'sizes-must-be-power-of-2' limitation there? That if you upload a 512x384 texture, you'll get a 512x256 texture instead.

May 3, 2007 - it would be nice if these SL Video Tutorial Series would be available in game.. for viewing.. or are they ?

eric519 Says:

May 3, 2007 - Ahah! Yes - you are right, but that information would only confuse the novice user, so I've decided to leave that subject for a more advanced video in the series.

eric519 Says:

May 3, 2007 - The goal is, yes; they will be available for download and for use in-world.

May 10, 2007 - Excellent work Eric. I would have been building on day 1 if I'd have had access to such a nice "first step" guide. In fact, I might go back and alter some of my textures to improve the sim performance too :-)

May 16, 2007 - great idea, i was looking for some info on textures and wasnt sure what would be most informative, going to a class in-world or the wiki files...i like this best! thanks
