\n\t\t\tid you know that Photoshop boasts an incredible 3D tool perfect for crafting items for OpenSim?\u00a0 \u00a0Getting started is easy\u2014all you need is a PNG-formatted image with a transparent background.\n\nI typically source my images from Google Advanced Image Search, allowing me to filter for specific types and ensure proper license rights. It's crucial to choose images with a CC0 \"public domain\" license for legal use in publishing or selling your creations. Another valuable resource is Pixabay, offering free commercial-use images.\t\t<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\"\"For instance, when I wanted to create in-world seashells, I conducted a Google advanced image search for sand dollars.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Unfortunately, despite being in PNG format, the selected image had a non-transparent gray grid background. I had to edit the picture by removing the background to achieve transparency. Seeking images with pre-existing transparent backgrounds can help skip this step.<\/p>

You can use this technique to craft shells or flowers for your hair. When gathering images, collect a variety and organize them in a file for future use\u2014this saves time and keeps you inspired. Always keep a notecard detailing the image sources for proof of non-infringement. I usually include this information in my model files.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Once you have the image, open it in Photoshop:<\/p>

  1. If you don’t have Photoshop, Blender is a free alternative (covered in another tutorial).<\/li>
  2. In the Properties Panel on the right, select the 3D choice under 3D-Layer-Channel options.<\/li>
  3. With 3D selected, ensure 3D Extrusion is chosen and click “Create.”<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    You’ll see an initial shape, but it might not be the desired one. Select the sand dollar, then use the blue Shape Preset window in the Properties Panel to choose a shape preset or adjust extrusion depth.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    Exporting and using in OpenSim:<\/p>

    1. Go to File > Edit > Image > Layer > Type > Select > Filter on the desktop toolbar.<\/li>
    2. Choose 3D, then Export 3D Layer. Save the 3D model as a DAE file on your hard drive.<\/li>
    3. In OpenSim or Second Life viewer, select Build > Upload > Model to bring the 3D shape into your world.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

      You can create various items using this method\u2014crabs, steaks, bacon\u2014experimenting with different images and shape presets.<\/p>

      After importing the 3D model, the final step is adding texture. Upload the original image as a new texture and apply it to the model’s surface, adjusting as needed.<\/p>
