I was looking at my old yachts and deciding which one to bring out of mothballs.  I think I decided on the Trudeau 12 Metere.  Mid 20th century is about as modern as I care to sail.  It has to be a wooden ship.

Playing with Windlight, lights, and camera in-world.

Had to do a little Photoshop on the hair...

Maybe they do have the app for Android??! Not sure.... but my question is, why can’t the AO programmers not produce natural smiles?

I have it on my Android. It works.

I opened Blender and played with the Bento skeleton. I believe a reasonable smile like the app's is possible. From what I could do, I think it would be difficult... certainly for me.

There are six bones for the lips. 3 upper lip and 3 lower lip. 4 others for the cheeks, 6 for the brows, 3 for the forehead... 

If we want that smile for our in-world head, we need to send a picture to the designer and ask for it. If enough of us ask, they may decide it is worth the effort.

Trying to "stay on fleek" (that's a bit 2014 to say, I know - but that was what the pose was called 🤔)

"The composistion is stilted, the space compressed, the gestures stiff, and the tones predominantly blue".  When you are bored on SL, doesn't mean you can't still learn things...

Well, I finally got in world for a little while and got me and all my alts to Akeruka to pick up the Cleo group gift head...must say I'm impressed. With a couple of hours of work the head has managed to adapt to four fairly individual looks.

Eta...ignore some of the seams and things...I'd try to do a bit of post-processing, but I'm getting hungry and it's dinnertime

Must try that FaceApp though...I've always wanted a decent smile in some pics.

Respect for getting four in world!!!! Three is challenging enough

Oooh! This could be useful!

Any chance of you including a feather duster or broom with the set?

The SL & Flickr group Too Sexy for this Group is having a June Photo contest with a 50's theme. It could be fun.

June 2019 Photo Contest You must enter your photos to our flickr group:  https://www.flickr.com/groups/tsftg AND send a copy to Angelathespian in world Please name your picture “FOCUS Fabulous Fifties Photo Contest” Images must fit the theme Only ONE image per person Images can be taken anywhere in SL Tasteful nudity or erotic is fine, but no porn or violence Images must be submitted by Midnight on June 27th Only approved images will be included in the challenge We will have a huge event with DJ Avalon and decor by Kitten and DreVan Sinclair at the gallery to VOTE on June 28th at 6pm!

And I had to play with the FaceApp...

It is surprising to me that the smile looks a bit ... unreal... spooky... Is it just because I never see this big a smile in SL?

In 2015 I did some experimenting with getting a big smile with the classic avatar.

OK... the classic AV smiles are worse... Plus they were a pain to do. The How-To is here.

I doubt that I'm sufficiently sexy for this contest.

Oh no... that is like thinking you aren't pretty enough or a good enough photographer for this thread.

Those in this thread and the Too Sexy group are very similar. Both are supportive and for the most part gentle. 

I suppose one's goal in the contest is a deciding factor on whether to enter or not. I never win these things. But, I do have fun with them.

It looks good! I've joined! As to the contest . . . well, we'll see.

Thanks, Nalates!

I tried pretty much the exact same experiment, but with a mesh head, including making a custom shape to better accentuate the cheeks, tilt the eyes, and so forth.

Your experiment was more successful than mine! Mine ended up looking pretty ghastly. One of the limitations here, in addition to the generic restrictions imposed by the Bento bones, is also the mesh head shape one uses -- I found it really difficult to make the cheeks of the Genus Classic appropriately prominent or "chubby," and the teeth were also a problem.

I've been wondering if maybe some kind of mesh deformer might be the way to do this, in conjunction with an animations HUD.

If it is based on in world votes, looks has nothing to do with it.  But maybe I'm just a bit jaded.

As for the implication that you are not sexy enough ...

Never forget, Sexy =/= Slu++y

I've been feeling sick the past couple days, but luckily I took pics ahead of time.
