Black TGA for Second life. Please Help! =)

[Lovanna]

Hm, planning on purchasing this program , however whenever i upload the file to Second Life it's black or very distorted when placed on a prim. I read a bit in the forums about this issue but still got nowhere, it was mentioned select "Building block type" then "Sculpted" i cannot find either of these... may sound silly but i am new to this prog. Someone please if you can show a screenie or tell me where this is located, i made a nice helmet and it uploads black and such, and i have about 3 tga files, do i upload them all , confusing.. thanks!

One more thing as well, I keep seeing threads about
plugins" i do not know where to download these or even place them..

Is it possible for someone to post a detailed step by step reply with what to do... i will upload a few pics... i use an object from the sample objects in SL, then i simply play with it, stretching etc... after that i import to SL and this is what i get..



It seems fine besides the small parts not selected.

Seems the parts i mess with in the objects are the parts messed up... is there something i have to do after stretching etc to the shape?



Here is the final result, it has no holes, is all distorted ..but the rest of the object sample used is fine



Everywhere I see people with this issue, there needs to be a detailed step by step tutorial for newbies using this... we have no clue where stuff is located at... perhaps a video in english step by step. with detail... it's just crazy, four hours now and i still cannot get my shape correct... all the info people have given is almost like we are supposed to guess where everything is at in the program..
