Had another go on Open Life yesterday to see if I could make some simple clothes and dress my avatar without having to go to a sandbox area.
I followed this procedure:
- upload three textures to my inventory, jeans, tennis shoes and a t-shirt;
- create a new pair of pants and wear them;
- create a new shirt and wear it;
- create a new pair of shoes and wear them;
- go into appearance mode and edit each of these putting the textures I had uploaded into the clothes;
I ended up with a passable looking set of clothes on my avatar but the whole process was vey slow, the new clothes taking ages to rezz.
I then chatted to a new resident and gave her some jeans to wear. We then teleported to Pawpaw region to look for freebies but I crashed crossing a sim boundary [nothing new there then] and had to relog.
Finally I gave up thinking that open life is still difficult to manage and not really ready for prime time.
