We require you to name your textures based on this texture naming rules that Utherverse has established. It is very important to name your texture correctly in order for our system to identify and send it to the right server. Texture uploads are restricted to only PNG format, and the file size cannot exceed 500,000 bytes (487k)
The type of your texture will further determine your texture name. Designer Tag is your initial on the texture name which will identify your work against all others and further make your work (and file) unique. In this tutorial, the designer tag will be refer as "UVT".
A brief explanation of the naming as follows:
- The 1st letter determining the species of your avatar, it should be H (Human), F (Furry), or A (Anime)
- The 2nd letter determining the sex of the texture, should be either M (male) or F (female)
- The 3rd and 4th letters will determine your texture as Clothings, Tattoo, Skin, or Attachment.
Examples: HFUL_UVT_UberThong (female thong) & HMUE_UVT_SkyBlue.png (eyes colored a sky blue)
FOR NEW STYLE: as New Style required a mesh for Upperbody and Lowerbody, they are considered as Attachment. Please refer to Attachment texture naming at the bottom of this page.
Skin, the protectors of our soul, have a specific naming format as well. The 3rd letter determines the skin type, and the 4th letter determines what the skin texture is. For each skin "type", there are 4 skin textures that have to properly accompany it.
Example: HMCH_UVT_John-Lennon.png (Male Caucasian Head texture looking like John Lennon)
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR GENITAL SKIN
You must give a same exact filename that matched letter-by-letter (excluding the 4 letter prefix) with your Leg Skin Texture. If the GenitalSkin and the SkinLeg have a different name, your avatar will have a white/missing crotch inworld.
Transgender (TG) Format
Transgender have 2 genitals on the avatar, the naming format is the same with the regular genital skin texture.
Example:
HFOL_UVT_mysezzyleg.png = Leg Skin
HFOP_UVT_mysezzyleg.png = Genital Skin
HFOV_UVT_mysezzyleg.png = TG Genital Skin
These specific textures naming is used more textures other than body (head, torso, leg) such as hair, glasses, shoes, piercings, etc. Each textures name should properly reflect the mesh that they will adhere to. These are the only textures that have 2 letters (either HM_ or HF_)
Fun Stuffs: Cars are considered as attachment textures and should be named accordingly.
Please refer to DesignerKit.zip to get the proper Mesh Type name.
Example: HM_short_UVT_funkyrainbowcolors.png (male short hairstyle with funky rainbow colors)
