  1. With the card you have there should be no problem at all doing what you want to do without special effects -- unless of course you want them. IF there is a sim that is problematic (I went to one last week via Inara's post that was so heavy with mesh and textures nothing would load) then MOVE ON. The point of having a good graphics card (and the cost involved in having one) is pretty much about the creative freedom that comes with that. Camera smoothing settings will solve a lot of issues with fps, but still 15fps was always my low number. If I couldn't get that (middle of the road card at the time) then I "fudged" and even used stills. Most of the time though -- even then I could do what I wanted to do. Practice helps :D.
  2. Most people as you likely know use Firestorm -- not because it takes the best pictures but because it has more useful features (for many of us anyway). I have a 3070 card and honestly I think any viewer you chose will work fine.
  3. In general all the non-top bodies have difficulties when it comes to finding clothes. One thing you can do is look for all in one complete outfits with sleeves (not too long a sleeves often have a "hand" rigging issue). If you like those sleeves that droop longer than hands (I really don't) you are in luck. Winter clothing is typically easier than summer. Zenith has outfits in that vein and there are a good number of role play all in one top and pants or dresses. S@BBiA makes "fitmesh" that typically fits all avatars with some garments being more lose fitting than others. If the body is BOM then you can use any texture garments especially pants and lingerie. It IS a challenge when you get a body beyond the top five. But it is a thrill when you find something that works.
  4. This might be it. If not there is a setting that let's you hear sounds WORN by someone (this in case it is an attachment doing it).
  5. Lots of good stuff here. I didn't buy this but bought some other quirkier things and my favorite bracelets are on sale here too LOL. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/MoonLand/224/30/22
  6. I am fairly confused about the title to this post and the OP itself. The Lab will never do on demand sims for mainland as it would break the immersion factor which is (or at least historically has been) an etched in stone bit of criteria. I thought years ago that on demand sims with less expensive costs would be a very good thing for everyone. They might need to be limited to "no bots" so that folks wouldn't just plant folks there so that their regions would always be up but aside that very doable especially for residential. Ebbe made some comments that had me thinking it was considered at one point but it never happened. Note that a 20K region in Kitely is $15 a month tier (at least I think that is still correct) and aside from a few things like advanced scripting and HIGH QUALITY INVENOTRY PURCHASES -- Kitely is pretty much just as good as SL. Not perfect but if you compare the costs you can see why some folks are there. LL seems to be going in a different direction however and we'll see how the Premium Plus level works out -- and of course what it actually entails LOL. Currently people in SL can have all the privacy they want if they own or rent a sim. They can be completely closed off except for white lists so I can't see any advantage there. Again I am a bit confused on what this thread is supposed to be discussing.
  7. I haven't read this thread as I am not planning on being premium again AND I haven't seen that Premium Plus is available, BUT wanted to add for the folks that may have forgotten that when Premium Plus was first mentioned we were ASSURED officially (not sure which Linden it was years ago now) that costs would be amortized and people would get credit for any remaining premium dollars in their account. Details weren't mentioned and there is really no reason to believe that this idea will be in effect when the time comes but it certainly would be in The Labs best interest to keep the stated policy.
  8. You can't imagine how much I SMILED AT THAT!!!!! Still chuckling. BTW I spent WEEKS trying to adapt and was about ready to see if I liked "single malt" like in all the TV shows. Then aside from some Sansar poses threw in the towel. Not all of us are as adaptable as you think :D.
  9. OK. So not until June 21st. I either missed that or the post I read was updated. I will update MY post. That is a VERY LONG lead time :D. Thanks Love. PS Mercury will be long out of retrograde by then so I suspect beyond the shadow also. Yesterday was NOT a good day for a lot of us LOL. So happy to note that.
  10. In regards to his official post: https://community.secondlife.com/blogs/entry/10806-inventory-management-and-performance/ I would appreciate any input from folks that have noticed changes in their inventory. I want to be able to follow up on my post and since "I" have had no issues I suspect that "I" wont see any changes. But I am very interested in any input (and timeline) others can offer. Thanks.
  11. Dust Bunny can be very heavy too so check those triangles if you care. I bought a new clothesline last year from anc. My blog post talks about very good LODs but still "primmy" but NOT heavy mesh. It is simpler but better for folks with a less than new and stellar computer. I WILL say that the heavy version in question has much better LODs than in the past. There IS a lot going on there but unless I had a perfect place to show it off (and I may some day) that half a million number is in general too high for me. Remember this is RENDER mesh not GAME mesh. The one below is GAME mesh LOL. Damn virtual life is complex.
  12. Out for 25Tuesday -- at Oyi which I had never heard of. No demo and horrid LODs on some small parts. Big parts not great either but happily this will still work for what I bought it for which. is inside a building for SL19B. One sit animation but it is mod (obviously as I deleted those pesky horrid parts) so you could add your own sits if needed. The vendor is on the wall under EVENTS. No demo of course but took a chance at 25. This could work as fantasy or Sakura -- or steampunk after I get done with it LOL. Edit: In the end I went with something else. :D. Oh well.
  13. Along with Littleme's link, MY first step is to log into SL using an alternate viewer (any third party viewer will work if you are using the Linden viewer). It is always good to have two viewers to choose from for many reasons including your problem here. IF you can see your inventory in another viewer that is a very good sign and one of those steps in the list should fix things. It is possible to actually lose inventory items but your description suggest it is not "real" inventory loss. That is a GOOD thing. https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Third_Party_Viewer_Directory Good luck.
  14. Mistral. $289 good triangles and long good LODs Kustom 9 here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/kustom9/99/188/1003 6 land impact
  15. In case you were wondering -- half a million triangles. Kustom9
  16. H and G prizes on the current Enchantment Hunt. Warning several issues on this hunt including the "disappearance" of the starting point and incorrect links. Many of the prizes are so far away they might as well be in the next sim LOL. But if you are a Tim Burton fan it is likely worthwhile. tea and bust from Tirrany Designs. Lamp from free bird. Also a nice texture change choker from bubble. https://enchantmentsl.com/burtonesque-hunt-guide/
  17. I noted that mine was something like 92 yesterday which is beyond odd. Traffic numbers do go awry now and then and at some point last year (think it was last year :D) the land tab stopped working altogether for what seemed like forever. So not terribly unusual and apparently not too high on the LL todo list :D.
  18. You can set to sale ONLY to that person. You could each set a very high price on the parcel. BUT you (or the other person) will end up paying extra tier for the time they own both parcels. I suggest that for oh so many reasons this is a bad idea. "I" certainly wouldn't do it.
  19. Out for the weekend. 2 li default - 3li shown. Heavy mesh but good LODs. LODs was my number one answer of what I wanted on that Seraphim survey by the way. Nutmeg
  20. In my mind it is the creator's responsibility to let their customers know what permissions come with a product. It is the buyer's responsibility to check on what is important to them -- be it permissions or LODs or triangle count. Hence DEMOS that can be inspected are high on my personal list of "needs". I realized thinking about this thread that the inability to know things about what EXACTLY you are buying (vendors and displays showing items that are not really sold with the purchase for example) is the reason that I have ALWAYS hated vendor systems. I know they are handy for putting whole stores on sale and for redelivery and store credit, but when you buy a copy of an item on display you can see exactly what you will be getting. That is pretty much true with buying the CONTENTS from an old fashion prim vendor box. You can see the permissions and which parts are included -- and hopefully the item is on display somewhere. That is how I have always had items out in my shop -- in the simplest form of vendor or "buy copy" that is possible. This after fourteen years. I don't pan to change. Now and then I purchase items that I can't see, but it is rare and they are most often very inexpensive (like $25 lindens). And in part those purchases are sometimes made so that I can report on the item to others.
  21. I have Hive cold brew also and love it. It was however a "b***h to fit to my hand (and I made jewelry for many years :D). You can also rez it as a prop.
  22. In the past, this has happened because of add blocking software and the way code the page is written in. I suggest trying a browser with no ad blocking built in or added. I use Edge for this purpose :D.
  23. Asian Pacific is small but there are three very nice H and G items there some food also. Also some Zaara earrings that I am pretty sure I have already but worth getting if you do not. Watch out for the "poofer" Ctrl + Alt + T turns on transparent so you can delete it LOL.
  24. Just a few thoughts. Unless that is going to be a REALLY BIG horseshoe your holes should be textures and not made into the model. The SL uploader doesn't like little pieces in a model made up of bigger pieces. Did you apply location, rotation and scale before exporting? Did you use the Linden viewer to upload? It isn't the boolean modifier in general. I hardly even use it but DID just a couple of days ago and the model uploaded fine. In general and assuming you are new to mesh in Second Life --- just because you can MAKE something doesn't mean it should (or can) be uploaded to Second Life - LOL. Sad but true. PS. If your standard size horseshoe uploads at anything other than one land impact something is wrong with the modeling -- so far as Second Life is concerned. It likely would be too much geometry (too many triangles). Good luck. Hopefully someone else has other ideas.
  25. Joined means that the mesh would be all one piece rather than trying to upload a mesh made up of several pieces (like a table and four legs all separate but uploaded at the same time. It is called JOIN in Blender but not necessarily in other programs :D. Over the years there have been others trying to do what you are doing (for a long while it was illegal to upload other people's mesh so some of us weren't all that helpful LOL) but to my knowledge no one found a good way. The SL uploader is picky and has rules so it is always best to make a model with that simplicity and those rules in mind. There are some models that apparently won't upload no matter what people try to do :D. Good luck!!!! Aquila is queen so her "voice" should most likely be heard the loudest most of the time. She helped me oh so often when things "weren't working" --- which of course ME, not Blender LOL.
