house textures
i get quite a few requests for the textures used in my houses. unfortunately, i can’t give away many of them. most were purchased or created from other sources and modified, so i don’t have the copyright to them and can’t distribute the textures by themselves.
but if you want to build a wall, extend a deck, or build a complimentary structure to match a Park Life house (also works with any modifiable prefab, such as Ace’s Spaces), there is a way to do it. you can copy one of the prims from a house.
first pick a prim which has the texture on enough faces for you to use. then follow these steps to make sure you don’t break your house (careful if you’re not skilled at editing, and be prepared to re-rez your house if something happens)…
- right-click the house and choose “Edit…”
- click the “More >>” button
- click the “Objects” tab
- check the little box next to “Edit linked prims”
- click the prim you want. only the one prim should be highlighted, not the whole house or section.
- choose “Unlink” from the Tools menu
- shift-drag the prim away from the house. make sure it leaves a copy in place.
- select the copy, then the section of the house it used to belong to, and choose “Link” from the Tools menu
- the prim you dragged away is the one you can use. you can then copy it again as much as you like
have at it
