'''The purpose of this page is to increase awareness of resources that'll help you texture better in Second Life.''' Texturing is a fundamental part of a building skillset, as evidenced when you put [http://www.flickr.com/photos/torley/405541024/ that dang plywood texture] on everything.
This list includes but isn't limited to: programs, tutorials, and packs of textures themselves. Please share what you've found useful — keep the list up-to-date and formatted neatly!
== Texture-making programs ==
* '''[http://www.gimp.org/ Gimp] (Free Software/Open Source)''' - The Gimp, or GNU Image Manipulation Program,  is a freely distributed piece of software for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring. It works on many operating systems, in many languages and is available for Linux, Mac OSX, Unix and Windows. Powerful, with many tutorials on the web - great links for the main site. Best bang for the buck.
* '''[http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/compare/ Photoshop] (professional photography editor, free trial available otherwise $100-$699)''' - Photoshop is a professional photo editing system that photographers use. Although it is highly expensive, it is completely worth the extra dollars you need to fork out to purchase it. With it's superb tools, such as dodge and burn which creates highlights and shadows, it's brilliant for creating textures for clothes too. Expensive, but worth it.
== Misc. ==
These don't fit under a single category.
* '''[http://www.ccccybernetics.com/avatar_databank/ Avatar Databank]''' - A complete library of all of the texture templates for SL avatars, both male and female. All expressions, body sizes, hair shapes, eyelashes, etc...
* '''[http://forums.secondlife.com/forumdisplay.php?f=109 Second Life Design & Textures forum]''' - Where I started out. Discuss texturing tips & tricks with fellow Residents and look at the top for the helpful tutorials stickied in orange.
