Here is a quick tour of the Member Generated Content process
for uploading your own textures to apply and sell on Kaneva items.
To get to the MGC page go to shop.kaneva.com and select
"Create My Own Stuff" option.
Next click the Get Started option
Next you will need to decide which template you plan
to design and upload a texture. Currently there are
four choices but more and more choices will be added
as Kaneva continues to grow.
UPDATE OF TEMPLATES LOOK ABOVE
Using either the JPG or PSD format (we recommend saving
the basic texture first) you will want to change the color
and pattern using a 2D paint program (like Microsoft Paint,
SmartDraw, or Photoshop).
DO NOT resize the texture template, or you will not be
able to upload it.
Once you are done creating a design on the texture,
you will need to save the texture as a JPG format.
Once it is saved, you will want to upload it to the
Kaneva site. Click on the My Store button.
Then select Add New Item
Next you will need to name your item.
Then upload your texture by clicking the browse
button and select the item from your documents.
Select what type it is and a thumbnail image of
the item to help members (and yourself) get an
idea of what you are selling.
Next you will need to add a price to the item.
This will be how many credits you wish to charge
other players for buying your item. If you want to
buy one for yourself first, be sure to set the price
at the minimum. You can always go back and raise
the price later. For each item there is a base cost,
a designer fee and a listing price that equals the total
cost of the item. The listing fee will be 10% of the base
cost plus the designer fee. The base cost and listing fee
go to Kaneva while you as the designer, keep the designer
fee.
THE WHOLE LIST PRICE IS IS ABOVE
Next you will want to add a tag and description to the item.
This helps other Kaneva members search for your designs by
keywords. Also, if a design you upload would normally be
restricted to those 18+ years and above because of content,
you will want to set the item to Access Pass wear only.
WE NOW HAVE THE NEW FIG LEAF
WHERE TO SEE IF NEED TO BE
ACCESS OR NOT.
Once you enter the price you can add the item or cancel it.
Next you will need to agree to Kaneva's Term of Service
before the upload process can continue. With this you
agree that the design you are uploading is your own, is
not the copyrighted material of another person or
company and meets the Kaneva Rules of Conduct
guidelines for material.
You can then go back anytime and by using the My
Merchandise option, change things with your item
(except the Access Pass setting which cannot be
turned off) if you want to change the price, name,
tags, description, etc. You can also check your
sales of the item, always a plus for new sellers.
For sales, please remember that the Total Sales
column shows how much other Kaneva members
have paid in Credits for your item, while the Credits
Earned column shows how much you have earned,
total, from the designer fee for each individual item.
You can also see how your item, and any other
items, look in the world by selecting the Try
it before you Buy it option. This gives you 5
minutes in the 3D world to decide if the clothing
item or asset is what you want. At the end of
the 5 minutes you will get a window that appears
that asks if you want to buy it or not. If you do
not, the item disappears. If you do, it appears in
your inventory.
