How to apply textures on individual object surfaces in Second Life

Within Second Life you have the ability to apply multiple textures to a single object. The process is very simple and can greatly enhance the appearance of your builds.

Step 1 Create a single "prim" in the shape of a box

With your box selected click on the Texture Tab in the modify object dialogue box.

Then click on the radial button labeled "Select Texture"

You will notice that each side of your box has a white circle with a plus in the middle.

what is Second Life

Second Life is an online game where people can interact via avatars with others. It has it's own economy etc, just like "real life" only in a virtual environment! www.secondlife.com is the main website if you want more information.

Wanted to say thanks for writing this.. this helped me a lot. HOWEVER, I would highly suggest that you note where the radio button is (and that there is one) to go to select textures. I had to search for a while before I noticed it.

Or... You could open up your inventory, Locate the texture you wish to use and DRAG it on to the side you want the texture upon. AMAZING!

Second Life is a online game. www.secondlife.com. Seriously, do some research before you be hypercritical. I found that by typing in "second life" into google ;)

Thank you Wilder. Can we delve a little deeper? Suppose we want to apply textures to a cone, or a ball? Can you discuss that please? Thank you.
