SKIDZ PARTZ - FIRE PIT

Written by: Skidz Tweak & Alayna Hutson

Introduction

The beauty of fire brought to Second Life. Whether you're drawn to its intoxicating dance of light, or the warmth that surrounds you in the dark night, everyone loves a good fire. This fire has a unique design, is one-of-a-kind in SL, and turned out better than I could ever hope for.

Introduction

Pure Posez is a high quality collection of 277 Poses, already organized and ready to go in a TMat Organizer. 
Standing, Sitting, Laying on the side, Laying and facing forward, Laying back, and great Beach Poses

Note, this version of the TMat is not the full version. The follow restrictions are applied

• Only supports Animations types
• No TMat Group Join
• No Updates

Read on for more new features of the latest version!

Ten beautiful windows that open and close. Each window is only two prims, and only one if you remove the glass. The windows were specifically designed not to distort at any distance or graphic card quality.  Window 1 is a set developed for builders who design structures for end users or for personal use. Downloadable Photoshop PSD image file makes it super easy to change colors, and with the custom Actions included you can export all 20 textures in a matter of seconds. I also encourage you to share these textures using the TMat share box, and I will send them out to the group. All windows can be linked and delinked and still function properly. Permissions granted to use on private OpenSims (Please read the VERY IMPORTANT Permissions section below for more details).

and drop a script into your prim.

2. Drop out the object "Skidz Skulptz - Window 1 Sculpties"

7. Now to add the glass

8. Create a new prim

9. Drop in the script "Glass Script"

10. Position the glass prim inside the window frame (do this before you link)

11. Link the glass to the frame

How to Change the Color

To change the color you will need to download the PSD (link below). Then you simply
change the color of some layers on image and export them with a custom action.
All color layers are Masked and named well to make it very simple.

1. Download the zip file at Here

2. Extract the files into a working folder

3. Double click the file "Skidz Skulptz Window 1.atn"; this will open up PhotoShop

4. Open the file "Skidz Skulptz - Window 1 - Textures.psd"

5. Find the folders "Colors" and expand it in the layers window

6. In each layer in the Colors folder you can change the color with the "Paint Bucket"
tool (G Key)

7. Be sure to make each layer color the same in the corresponding open and close folders

8. In the actions window run the action "Skidz Skulptz Window 1/Save Open"

9. In the actions window run the action "Skidz Skulptz Window 1/Save Close"

10. In your "C:\" Directory you will find the 20 textures there

11. Move them to your work folder

12. Rename them changing the words "Color_Color" to the two colors you used for the frame. For example "T_Window_1_Color_Color_Set_1_Open.tga" becomes "T_Window_1_DarkBrown_LightBrown_Set_1_Open.tga"

13. Upload the textures to Second Life

Note: It is important you keep the "T_" "_Set_#_" and "_Open" or "_Close" in the texture name. This information is used in the scripts to determine which texture is which.

Share your Custom Colored Textures you Made with Others

I encourage you to share any custom color textures you make with everyone. You do require the TMat Organizer (sold separately).

1. Place them into your TMat Texture organizer (see the TMat Organizer read me for more details)

2. Open the textures are by Touching the folder

3. Touch the folder again to bring up the menu

4. Choose Share from the menu

5. Choose to share all the new textures you just uploaded

6. Take the share box

7. Right click and edit your TMat

8. Drop the share box into the TMat and click Yes on the dialog box

How to Build a Window Manually

I can't think of any reason you wouldn't want to use the technique above under "How to Make a Window with you as the Creator," but I thought I would include this just in case

1. Follow the instructions for "How to unpack the textures and sculpties to yourself"

2. Rez a prim

3. Drop in one open sculpty texture, and one closed sculpty texture. Ensure both are of the same set. (Hint, they start with "S_")

4. Drop in one open texture, and one close texture. Ensure both are for the same set you choose when you dropped in the sculpty textures. (Hint, they start with "T_")

5. Drop in the script "Skidz Skulptz Window Frame Main"

6. Now to make the glass; rez another prim

7. Drop the sculpty in "Glass Open", and "Glass Closed"

8. Drop in the script named "GlassScript"

9. Position the glass inside the window frame (do this before you link it)

10. Link the glass

11. Test by touching it

12. Adjust the glass as needed

FAQ

Q. It says no distortion, but when I open/close the window, they distort for a second. Why?

A. You are seeing this because the sculpty texture is not cached in your SL viewer. You can avoid this by leaving 1 window open all the time, ensuring it is cached.

Q. I applied the sculpty by hand. It doesn't look right! What's wrong?

A. This is an easy fix. Just use a cylinder instead of a sphere.

Q. Why does the custom action save the images to my C:\ drive instead of a folder?

A. I tried to make it work with relative paths, but couldn't achieve it. The only directory I am 99.9% sure exists on your computer, is the "C:\" directory. If you know of a better way, please let me know.

Q. Why do you make me do that "Before You Get Started Part"?

A. This process really wouldn't stop a malicious person from transfering them to someone else with full permissions, but it will stop you from accidently giving away the textures and sculpties with full permissions. That is what I hoped to avoid by doing that.
