To me, as a non-knowledgable reader, it looks extremely well-conceived and helpful, and conveys how and why making a skin is so much work.

My inclination here is to agree with Josh; making a skin from a photo is not simply a matter of deforming the skin to match the template, it is indeed a more ambitious project.

But as I said, I know nothing about skinmaking, so perhaps it just seems more complicated to me than it does to you.
That was a FANTASTIC link! Thank you VERY much!

Although, I have some jewelry ideas up my sleeve that I haven't seen done anywhere yet in SL, so if I can get that going (and it has been actually going smoothly) I may be able to just pay someone, but until then, I have this GREAT tutorial you've linked me to on how to do it. That really was great.

Thanks
