[Lelutka Announces 4.0 Update]

Left is Logan. Right is Aaron. I don't know how I feel about Aaron.

 

I think he would work better with an older skin, and more natural eyebrows.

[Which mesh head has the best slider responsiveness?]

I am talking about using the sliders to make "imperfections" like larger noses, jowls, or underbites. There is at least one older LeLutka head that allows this (Nova dated version), but I would like to know if there are any others. Some heads don't seem to allow much change via the sliders. I would prefer something EvoX compatible.

Peeve: Found out yesterday that there was a character named Peeves who was supposed to be in the Harry Potter movie, but was removed because he caused the child actors to break character too much.

And that's quite sad because it was Rik Mayall who was going to play him, would have been hilarious.

Not enough non-human/fantasy heads or skins (except BeSpoke, and I've already got the sphynx and steampunk rat) for my taste and I'm so over the scars and bruises trend. Ugh.

The Snow Rabbit head has excellent tinting through the HUD, so you can turn any skin into a fantasy tone and it looks good. It also comes with animated elf ears.

Any visible seams or weirdness around the nose/mouth/eyes? Did you check it in different EEPs? With and without makeup?

No, I'm not going to buy this thing, LOL. I'm just super curious how it all works and how effective it is in the end. It's an interesting idea.

I have used a 4k skin with it, and there are no seams at all.

[Skin Fair 2024 - what are you excited for?]

I went all out and bought the Genus Morph fatpack, Lelutka Billie, and the new Snow Rabbit head, as well as a skin from Nar Mattaru.

Here is the Snow Rabbit head, with default shape, some brows and blush from the HUD, and a Glam Affair skin. So pretty and quite different from other heads you can buy I think. And I have to say, it has the most natural animations of any head I have used, I normally don't use animations on mesh heads but these are great.

What groups can we join for early access? I want to get demos.

 

I know the Catwa group will get you in early.

Now THIS is interesting. Create your own unique head by choosing the individual components.

- If LaQ does offer a new ERA2 head, that will be a no go for me till they fix the EVOX version of their head. At this moment, the EVOX version of the head isn't worth a penny due to the issues with it.

-  LOGO is coming with a new head, looks nice, but I am not allowed from Maximillion Grant to share it at this moment.

- Lelukta, I am doubting

- Catwa, if they are present, I am doubting

- Akeruka, at this moment I have issues with the current designs of them, where the chin is presented like a front splitter of a sports car, and hard to shape else.

Catwa will release a new head at the fair

 

[Where can I find hairs like these?]

Maybe try RAMA Salon for the one down the bottom, they have a lot of hair like that.

[Skin Fair 2024 - what are you excited for?]

I am really looking forward to Skin Fair, which opens tomorrow for certain groups, and on the 8th of March for everyone else.

SnowRabbit is finally releasing their EvoX compatible mesh head. I have watched some video reviews for this one, and it looks great. I was a huge fan of the last head they released, but it was not EvoX compatible and did not have as many features. I will almost certainly buy the new head when Skin Fair opens.

What are you looking forward to at Skin Fair?

[Oh my Gawd! - Totally unOfficial Pet Peeve Thread.]

Peeve - merchants who don't make their stuff available on the SL Marketplace. I get sick of visiting large stores in world, waiting for things to rez, and trying to use area search to find things without success. I get that it is a lot of work to put your entire store on the marketplace, that you run the risk of people leaving bad reviews for no good reason, and that LL takes a cut. But there is a whole customer base out there who primarily shop on the marketplace, and that makes it worthwhile.

[LaQ Heads Era 2 ... imminent?]

There will be a gift skin available at Skin Fair, starting on the 8th.

I like this one https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/iRain-Heavy-Light-Rainfall/15920877

And they also do a rain on window effect that looks great, too https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/objective-WET-WINDOW/25148127

Furthermore, LL seems to be imposing limits on creators, and apparently, all creations must be submitted and validated with them.

That is not true.

[Oh my Gawd! - Totally unOfficial Pet Peeve Thread.]

Peeve - that some of my favourite furniture stores, and one house maker whose designs I love, have terrible LODs on their products. Houses need good LODs because they are seen from a distance, and furniture should not collapse when you are standing right next to it.

I have a flat billed hat i want to wear in its correct form which means i have to wear a hairbase under it. all i need is a pony tail that can attach in the back of the hat. Also any links to hairbases would be great too. 

Nova is now releasing their hair in versions that go under hats. Might be worth checking out their latest stuff at events.

[60 LS event "Inflation of stupidity"]

Thank you for explaining. I was seeing it from the point of a creator who creates their own stuff without using full perm parts from others. I can see how the latter can get very expensive. That said though, those who do create their own animations, textures, 3D models etc do not pay 1000L+ per item. 

Most furniture makers in SL use full perm animations. There are only a handful who create their own. It is very pricey to invest in these, especially if you are making adult content that contains hundreds of animations. The price you can expect to pay for a single adult couple animation is between 900 and 2000L. So making a sex bed for most creators would require an investment of hundreds of thousands of lindens. Hard to recoup that when customers increasingly expect to be able to pick everything up for 75L in sales.

[Oh my Gawd! - Totally unOfficial Pet Peeve Thread.]

Really enjoying Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on PS5, but am very frustrated with some of the mini-games and unavoidable quick-time events.

Not arguing that. My point was that if no one (are two out of a thousand) folks are willing to pay the price you have put on an item then it is really not a viable item.  Creators certainly have the right to put any price they want on an item but if it is higher than most people will pay they won't sell much.  

My stuff is on the expensive end, as it has a lot of animations. But I still make more selling my niche expensive stuff than I do from putting more mainstream things for sale for 75L on the weekend. You have to sell a LOT of things for 75L for it to add up to any real amount of money, especially when the events have entry fees.

[Meeting a Customer Inworld]

I too avoid going into my store if I see someone is there. But I have met customers when I have been at venues, and they have IMed me to tell me they like my stuff, so that is very nice. Sometimes I will send them something for free if we chatted for a while, and one guy I kept bumping into regularly, I got to help me with testing something new.
