What is the best way...(other than paying high price and going threw an agency) to find a child clothing model? I've made several girl's clothing for a child and wanting to update my marketplace with the new direct delivery feature. Needing to retake multiple photos. I don't have many standing animations to work with. I sometimes like to use the natural flow of an AO in a good scenery or behind a decent backdrop. Looking for child avatar with good knowledge of child roleplay to help me take some photos and maybe has ideas for good accessories to add to the outfits. Best way to contact me is in-world even if I'm offline send a notecard pls.

That second one Sloan is more of what I'm talking about. I'm not exactly sure how to explain it. I don't want to link other artist's pictures because it would 1. Be rude (imo) and 2. I don't want people to think I'm stealing their work or ideas or however people sometimes get offended by that. Edit: Sloan would you be willing to maybe get together and share some things with me?

I've been into photography in SL, and photoshop for a very long time. I'm self taught and have learned a lot of things just by messing around with the photoshop controls. I've also referred to youtube to learn ever more. Some problems with youtube videos/tutorials is that it applies better to RL images than SL images. Also there are techniques people are using on SL images that I can't seem to figure out how they do it. For example...more and more now I'm seeing the exaggerated color saturation and some sort of technique that makes the picture look more cartoony? I've been told people are now painting by hand more....I really don't see that. I mean I understand with some "hairstyles" yes they are painted on but as for the overall picture..background, avatar it looks all over more cartoony...hehe hope that makes sense. One of the artist that I admire I contacted and asked how they accomplished the techniques and they really didn't act like they wanted to share then they gave me a notecard with some instructions that more or less created (imo) a warming filter which actually didn't change the look or feel of the picture to look more cartoony or "painted". If there is anyone out there willing to allow me to be their apprentice and learn under them. I'm very familiar with photoshop and I could even show some of my own work. I'm not looking to compete or steal customers or make huge profits. I mostly photography/photoshop for friends and myself... Signed, Desperate to Learn!

Yes Keli Kyrie they are different when it says to put R: 0.12, G: 0.12, and B 0.16 and you can program that into the new windlight environment editor

Anyone At All? Bump

By now almost everyone has a notecard that says "Belleza recommended windlight settings" (more info found here for those that don't know: http://secondsoigne.wordpress.com/2008/04/10/optimising-windlight-for-avatars-20/ ) These settings worked GREAT in (viewer 2.whatever) before the environment settings were changed... This post is just me wondering if anyone has created an updated version of belleza windlight for viewer 2 (3.0)

Then I do not like this at all. If I'm in my own custom day cycle I want to be able to force which point in the cycle I want to be.

More control? I say less control...because I want to make my custom windlight settings default even when messing around with the world>sun>sunset/sunrise/midnight options...Instead it reverts to default. That is less control when in fact 2.7 I could easily make my custom windlight settings default and always on when I logged in by messing with the day cycle editor.

When 2.8 was intitally released I noticed the changes to the environment editor. I tried to program in my favorite windlight setting and also created a day cycle with my saved sky setting. On the day cycle I had a custom sunrise, sunset, midnight and midday... After making and saving the day cycle I selected make this my current cycle. It worked UNTIL I went to world>sun>sunset Instead of it going to the sunset I had programed in to my day cycle it went to SL default sunset on the custom sky inside the environment editor. When I went back to midday it went to the default midday on the custom sky on the environment editor. I posed on the forums and Oz Linden responded at which I did his steps and it still didn't fix the problem that when you force sun position the editor takes you out of your day cycle and puts you into the default settings under sky. After the recent update this problem has still not been addressed and I'm still having the same problems. All I want to be able to do is stay in my custom midday pretty much 99% of the time...using sunset/sunrise/midnight when the feeling emerges and then go back into my custom Midday. Why does the environment editor keep defaulting back to custom sky and default SL sun positioning?

no one? no one ar all?

Since Mr. Oz Linden hasn't responded anymore is there any other linden or anyone else who can help me with my problem? Thank you

While having the enviorment editor up this is what I noticed... I made my custom day cycle and made sure it was marked in the editor to use the custom cycle. While having the editor open if I go to world>sun>sunset the editor automatically switches from using custom cycle to using sky preset (or whatever it's called) and it puts it on the default sunset. INSTEAD: It should have changed the time on my already custom day cycle and used the key setting I had within my custom cycle. There are some occasions in SL that require different lightening and I like to have the different effects of the day. For example: I normally always play in midday (on my custom day cycle) but if I go to a beach and have 'romantic time' I might want to be sunset or when I first log into SL I like it on sunrise or if I go to the drivein I would like it on midnight. Because of this new enviroment editor and the way it controls the windlight settings I have to always manually go into the editor and set it to use my custom cycle constantly instead of just being able to switch the sun positions.

I've done followed all your directions. BUT which I switch sun position to sunset and switch back to midday...the my-day cycle gets reverted back to default. In other words if I may clearify, the my-day is saved but when I change position of sun to sunset it stops using my-day and uses default.

Ok so I have my own custom windlight settings that I like to use as my default settings. I used to be able to go into the day cycle editor and set my custom setting for 9am, 12pm, and 3pm so during the day time it would automatically have my custom setting. Now with this new update I'm completely lost. Even after I set under Environment Editor to use my custom settings when I switch between sunset, sunrise, midnight, and midday it reverts back to SL default. How do I set my settings and have them stick threw relogging and cycle changes?

On Viewer the last 2 updates I've noticed on the edit window when selecting and object it says PRIMCOUNT instead of the actual prim count number. When are we going to see this get fixed and is there another option for finding out the prim count on selected objects?

I get scared about the size of my inventory. I normally try to keep it below 10k items. But I've been playing since 2004 so it's getting harder and harder to wittle down the size of my inventory as there are many things I do not wish to delete. Does anyone know what the if there is a limit to how much stuff you can have or how much stuff before you start having problems? I've always heard horror stories about the lindens having to wipe your inventory because you can't log in or your inventory disappears or you loose are your friends...Not even sure what to believe so this is me trying to research this and find out more about it. Thanks for reading, Summer

I think the new web profiles are ok...one thing I miss though is not being able to see if someone is online or not threw their profile. Someone who isn't on your friends list. Is there any other way to tell if someone is online or not with these new web profiles? Someone suggested to me awhile back an online status checker from the marketplace or something but I don't own land, but would use it if it was something that attached to my hud and I could just type in a specific name to see online status. I don't know....
