I put new tree on the parcel. Then I noticed that there is an excellent spot for sitting on it. 🙂 😃 😁

From SSPE1199 region the green temporary railroad markers continue towards north up to SSPE1212 (at the time of writing this). The markers can be seen in the snapshot below, starting from the left side. I have a house in Axton region facing the still empty SSPE1214 and SSPE1216 regions. Crossing my fingers that the railroad will pass through those regions too. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/SSPE1199/196/116/50

Some animations in furniture rotate the eyes in very strange way, so that they have that very dark, almost black, look. I have seen that it mostly happens when lying down.

Sunset viewed in my sky platform at 2200 meters up in the sky. Sunsets and sunrises are always a very pleasant colourful sight to look at up there. 🙂

I made it with 16 prims, land impact is 8 LI. The foot print is 20 m x 20 m. The textures are from Linden Lab homes content packs. Some are from the old Linden homes, some are from new homes. (Not for sale at the moment. I don't even know yet can I sell it or just give it free because of the textures.)

My simple skybox... erm I mean sky platform 😁 up in the sky at 2200 meters. I don't like much the totally enclosed skyboxes. The open platform feels better for me. This is great place to test clothes and stuff. No lag up there at all. This is early morning, at sunrise. Beautiful colours in the sky.

He asked "Would you like to dance with me?" First I had my doubts seeing our height differences. Then I thought "why not, lets give it a try". And we danced, and had a very nice long chat. I was so glad that I accepted his dance offer. 🙂

Flexi hair. Yay! 😁 That's quite well made, not too wild movement in it. When dancing flexi hairs can look really nice. ❤️ It's named as: "FREE EdelStore woman hair " Moskau " dark brown (Resizer) GIFT" Available here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Quartz/231/246/22 It's outside, on the north side wall of the store.

Google knows how to pronounce it: https://translate.google.com/#view=home&op=translate&sl=pt&tl=en&text=Cordeirinhos 😁 It also tells that Cordeirinhos is "Little Lambs" in English.

I'm constantly jumping between my main account (this one) and my alt account (Wenly). Coby uses Genus head, Wenly uses Akeruka advanced limited edition head. Both heads have their specific features which I like a lot. In General it appears that the Genus has more mature look. Akeruka is kind of "cuter" and It seems to me that it has more varied expressions than Genus. Anyway, it's hard to say which head I like more. Both are very nice heads. ❤️ Here is me with Genus Classic head.

I often get that error when trying to upload animated GIF. And the size does not exceed the 4.88 MB limit. I have no idea why that error pops up.

Hair hunt for Akeruka head continues. Worn in the snapshot: Head: [AK Advanced] - Bento Head V2.7 #Limited Edition Hair: /TRUTH/ Kitten / Unrigged After adjusting the location of the unrigged hair, it's a perfect fit. Yay! 🙂 ❤️ But there is also rigged version of this hair, no luck with that one, it covers the top part of the ears! 😕 After adjusting the location of the unrigged hair so that it looks good I made coparison with the two versions. I noticed the following: • The rigged hair sits lower on the head than the perfectly adjusted unrigged hair • The rigged hair sits more forward on the head than the perfectly adjusted unrigged hair This is the problem with all the multiple rigged hairs what I have tried from different stores on Akeruka head. The rigged hairs sit too low and too much forward on the head. The result is that the top part of the ears get covered. So for perfect fit Akeruka head would need hairs specifically rigged for it. Anyway, short unrigged hairs work well and can be adjusted for perfect fit. But long hairs need to be rigged ones. So far I have not found any hair store which would state: "These hairs are rigged for Akeruka heads". 🤷‍♀️

Here are comparison snapshots - same hair on Genus head and Akeruka head. Any tweaking of Akeruka head shape will not make the hair clipping through the ear go away. Same thing happens with any other rigged hairs what I have tried so far. So I wonder are there any similar type rigged hairs which would work with Akeruka head properly?

No, just normal size ears. Anyway, what ever size the ears are the issue is still there - the rigged hairs cut through the upper parts of the ears. Even adjusting the head shape does not help (actually there was one hair where I was able to get rid of the issue - that hair did not respond to one head skider, all other hairs just followed the slider value). It seems that the rigged hairs sit too low on the head, thus the hairs cut through the upper parts of the ears. All the rigged hairs what I have work perfectly on Genus head (Classic Face and Baby Face), but they just don't work with AK head. So AK head must use quite different rigging than Genus head as the same hairs don't work on AK head. The only solution might be if some creator actually made rigged hair specifically for AK head. It's kind of weird that this issue exists in AK heads, it's so glaringly obvious and easy to see. It's a pity because the AK heads are really pretty heads.

I love the looks of this Akeruka limited edition advanced free head. It's really amazingly pretty realistic looking head. The only problem I have found is that most rigged hairs what I have tried don't fit well. They go through the top part of the ears which looks bad. So far the only hairs that work are the ones which cover the ears totally so that they cannot be seen. Like this flexi hair does. This rigged hair issue appears to be present with all Akeruka heads. I wonder does anybody make nice rigged hairs which would work well with Akeruka heads?
