    Bear in mind that Rezology can be a bit hit and miss. Cheap, yes, but some of hair is not rigged quite right and sits rather high above the head (on account of it being made for another platform than SL). Others are fine but you won't know until you buy them.

    TMP products can only be configured via the style HUD which connects to an external database. Only approved designers can make appliers for the TMP bodies so if you want a custom skin for the body, you would need to approach one of those designers, they are listed on the TMP website. A lot of the stores would be closed now, many of them probably wouldn't do custom work, and the ones that would may be expensive.

    This is a tutorial that shows you one way you can texture full perm mesh templates, using the AO maps as mentioned above. The tutorial uses Photoshop but I am guessing the general principles would apply to GIMP as well. It's probably also worth mentioning that if you buy rigged full perm clothing to texture, you will not be able to attach another unrigged mesh object to it (like the reindeer head you mentioned), so that can be a bit of a limiting factor, but you can still have a bit of individuality by being creative with your textures and by making outfits that use pieces from different mesh creators. As a lot of people use the same full perm mesh templates, you need to make your final product stand out from the crowd a bit. OH, and be aware that there are some disreputable sellers of full perm mesh clothing templates on the marketplace who sell stolen work, have a good look at the seller's store before purchasing, check reviews, make sure that any logos in the item images match the seller.

    Reality Designs has full perm sci-fi plants and other assorted sci-fi stuff. Athena Creations also sells a lot of full perm sci-fi bits and pieces. Milk Motion had the Unknown Planet gacha which was a rocky sci-fi landscape with volcanos and stuff, not sure if it's in their store but I am sure people are selling it on the marketplace. Not sure if it is what you have in mind but going through my inventory it's the only full sci-fi planet landscape I can find and I have a lot of sci-fi stuff. Other stores that are not sci-fi but that sell a few quality pieces are Culprit and Mad Pea. Culco has had some sci-fi house and furniture gachas.

    Yes, there is a mesh dev kit for the Belleza bodies. You will need to apply for it on their site http://bellezaskins.com/

    Looks like the Neo Senshi lingerie that Violent Seduction released for the Crystal Heart event. I don't know if that event is still on, or if they plan to put the outfit in their store afterwards.

    Oh that's really great, I had no idea you could do that, thanks!

    I've found my main and several of my alts added to a store subscriber kiosk, and now receive lots of spammy notices from the store owner on my accounts. I did not sign up for this, have never been to the store before, never purchased so much as a demo or freebie of theirs from the marketplace on any of my accounts, the stuff the store sells is terrible. I went to the store and found the kiosk and from the hovertext I can see there are literally thousands of names being sent notices but there is no way to unsubscribe. I guess I could send owner a notecard asking them to unsubscribe me but I just blocked them instead because it was faster and someone who conducts their business in such a questionable way may not care to remove me anyway. But anyway, as per the title, is the person doing this breaching the TOS in any way? Thanks.

    Not all landlords offer refunds. If you would like to have any chance of getting your money back, I would suggest that any correspondence you have with the landlord be very polite and apologetic and that you don't try to argue that what you were doing was OK (hint - it wasn't), because that is just going to annoy them and make them less likely to refund you.
  10. Stephanie Misfit
    Private landowners can ban you for any reason, or no reason at all. Most people really hate spam. Oh yeah, you might want to get rid of that business name from your post too, it's against the rules.
  11. Stephanie Misfit
    If you use full perm items to make stuff, even just for texturing, yes it is. Sellers usually have new releases and discounted items.

    The OP seems to focus on gacha resellers as those who play machines for the primary purpose of profiting from reselling gachas on the marketplace. There are many people who resell gachas who do not play gachas for that reason, we just end up with so many extras in our inventory that the easiest thing to do is shove a heap of them on the marketplace and hope they sell so we can get back some of the lindens we've spent. Oh, the creator hates resellers and really meant for their items be traded? Please, who is going to spend all their time in SL sitting in groups hoping that someone wants to trade for that common item that everyone has 10 of already. List it on the marketplace and forget it, but do the right thing and put it in the correct category. Anyway, one thing I certainly agree with the OP on is gacha creators who use those despicable delete on rez scripts. You are going to destroy items your customers have bought and paid for because you assume they are thieves? Well, not only is your malicious little script ineffective against theft, you can be sure I won't be shopping at your store again, and I'll be telling all my friends to avoid your business as well. The worst example of gacha creator paranoia I have seen was a no copy / no mod / no transfer bodysuit with a delete on rez script. That person must have really hated their customers.

    Not in world to check for sure, but from memory if the UUID is unencrypted it shows up in the description of the HUD prims you use to select each texture (if it is encrypted you will see some random text instead). So all people have to do is edit and inspect your HUD object to steal the textures you are using.
  14. Stephanie Misfit
    It would be best if you don't link to tutorials by copybotters that contain links to pirated dev kits and software. Edit your post.
  15. Stephanie Misfit
    Is this for items you plan to sell? If so, I would suggest looking for a script that will encrypt / encode your texture UUIDs. These will be more expensive than the scripts that leave the UUIDs visible to customers. Brands that sell scripts with this feature include PXL, KinetikTech and .:*BoSH*:. but I am sure there are more. If you are happy to leave your texture UUIDs visible, there are lots of cheap scripts available on the Marketplace, just search for "texture change HUD" and find something at a price you are happy with that has a few decent reviews. These scripts will cover off both the mesh object and the HUD. As for ease of use, if you find using the script confusing, setting up a really big and complex HUD probably should not be your first project, do something basic first (eg a mesh object with only one face).

    For prices, think along the lines of how much people would earn per hour in a decently paying real life job. You may find people who would be willing to do something for less because they are young and desperate for lindens, or because it sounds like a really fun project, but anyone who can produce decent work is going to charge realistic prices because they can. Work is work whether it's done for SL or the real world.

    Absolutely, it most definitely is not a case of just taking a screenshot. When I had one of my avatars photographed for an ad by a professional SL photographer, it took a whole lot longer than I expected it would. Getting the composition and lighting right is really important, and then there is the creative (and fun) side too - most of the very best photographs on Flickr have clearly had a lot of thought put into them as far as creative design is concerned. You don't take an amazing SL photograph by just standing an avatar in front of a green screen, grabbing a screenshot and doing a little editing in Photoshop.

    I believe they dropped promoting a major event due to the bad behaviour of the organiser. Events and sales don't have to pay for advertising, but they can choose to do so if they want extra coverage, for example being featured at the top of the page.

    Nobody is going to do custom work for 500 linden. That's $2.00.

    I honestly have no idea what colour this is, maybe grey? It's called Pure though, from the UniCult eye gacha at Lootbox.
  22. Stephanie Misfit
    I don't know how much time you are spending on these images, but if it is a lot then I am sorry to say that there are free Photoshop actions that can produce these types of effects within a few seconds. So I don't know that there would be many people who would be willing to pay much for this type of work when there are SLers on Flickr doing custom work that involves not only decent photography but a lot of detailed digital painting. But even with all the over-painting, people still want the picture they are paying for to look like their avatar. I would say you would have a better chance of getting customers if you skip all the flashy effects and just take a decent picture, using the lighting from the LumiPro to its best advantage.

    Thread is old now and I am sure the original poster found what they are looking for, but I will put this here for future reference in case anyone is searching for the same thing. EPIA (Every Pixel is Art) has really high quality mesh police, SWAT and sheriff uniforms. They also have fire fighter's uniforms. These are all for male and female avatars. They have lots of military uniforms as well. They are in standard sizes, nothing for Maitreya / Belleza etc. I was able to alpha out things fine on my Maitreya body to get them to fit but I suppose if you have an unusual shape it may not work for you.

    The piggu avatars are fantastic, I cannot recommend them highly enough. They have to be worn as full avatars though, as other mesh heads will not fit with the bodies. It's a real shame there are no demos available. There is a Flickr group though that gives you an idea of how cool they can look https://www.flickr.com/groups/3735317@N23/
