JeromFranzic Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Not sure if Tia Rungray was performing when I took this test shot with the latest Alchemy viewer beta... at least it looks as if I can let my PC display more than 65 avatars in less complex looking venues. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally gave the Alchemy Viewer a try the other day and haven't looked back. It's perfect for a photo nutjob like me and plays much nicer with my usual shader shenanigans. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rarely run BD under Wine in Linux anymore. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are 12 dances in this theater presentation, and each dance has a leader who choreographed the dance. In the photo she is checking that the dancers clicked something that put us on her HUD. Then we go off to a platform and grab the right position (hopefully) to be whisked on stage by her at the right time. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Istelathis Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Thinking of ways to improve my yard without breaking my Li bank 🙃 I just bought this cute tree with swinging bench, it is advertised as 3li, but it seems to only take up 1. I love it 🥰 No more spending linden this week for me though. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Istelathis Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 I rented a hotel room The local residents are nice, I think perhaps expired, but nice. Mah room! A little bit of abracadabraing, and viola! I even have a piano, but you can't see it past the wall Staring off in my fireplace, 14 Li used, 11 more left. Imma put up some pictures, this is the Hotel Chelsea after all. I can link a bunch of prims together and have pictures all over the place. I'm happy, this was the first home I ever had in SL, not the same room, but the same building. I've been trying to get back in for a while, but none of the rentals would work for me. I remember sitting back in my room, and listening to the live music, and enjoying it from the comfort of my room 🙃 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Istelathis Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 @Scylla Rhiadra I think it is the same one Black Dragon uses It took me about 30 seconds to do a handstand These are just thrown together while playing around with it. I was going to do a little shoot for this thread earlier, but had to run a few errands and gave up on it. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can freeze any pose/animation and work from there, including attachments like tails. Tweaking a pose works really well... ... except for fingers, which need some wrangling (if there is a way to switch between global/local rotation I don't know about it). And I'm still gonna use Axis over it for the face. Making a pose from scratch is an uncanny valley nightmare but I think it's as good as can be from within the viewer. But I'm really appreciative of it being there. I love working from animations and freezing a snapshot from them, as I feel that often comes out as more natural than just static poses. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagnu Posted May 12 Author Share Posted May 12 Cat and I trying to figure out what kind of extra theme location to put on our island. it's not easy. I want traffic, but not too much. Caitlin doesn't care if we have traffic or not. @BillFletchermay recognize Caitlin's outfit in the background pic from something in the past. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I VERY rarely build a pose from scratch: it's a nightmare. I really need to understand anatomy better than I do. As it is, I'll sometimes assume parts of a pose myself when adjusting in the BD poser, to make sure I'm getting it right. Which, um, possibly looks a little odd . . . And yeah, I usually disable the bones in the head and neck in the poser, and use the Axis for those. Soooooo much easier, and the results tend to look better. I've done the "freezing from animation" thing too, mainly using dances. It DOES work well! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, for complete custom poses, I'll just do those in Blender with Inverse Kinematics. I'm way too impatient and skittish around uncanny valley stuff. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Istelathis Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Floating around Bellisseria and watching a lighthouse in the horizon.

Istelathis Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Playing slot machines 🙃 This one appears to be broken, I need to fix it. First, I need to distract Anubis, he might complicate things a bit. Just a few adjustments are needed, this shouldn't take very much time. Yay it is working again! 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
