LOL! Yep, double checked that when it first happened. I even logged out and logged back in (and again with the cache clear) Just to be sure it wasn't something I was/n't doing. ---Edit--- Well, whatever was happening for the last 3 hours this morning, it's begun behaving itself. I guess I just had to complain out loud about it, lol.

It locks you out if you put month/day/year. Put in my birthday, 8/13/1978 and it said it was invalid. Read what you said, go back and now I'm not old enough to enter and didn't get a chance to put it in a second time. It's quite ridiculous.

PBR doesn't currently work with BOM, it also needs items to be rezzed out, the materials item dragged into it for it to work, (haven't seen anything about being able to be put in via appliers) So I don't think the standard way of doing materials is going to change at all due to creators not wanting to allow modify on items, things being too complex to trust the average user who struggles with the build window and just wants something to 'slap on and go' or 'just works'. If we were still in the long gone days of shared creative learning, I think it'd be neat. But as it is, right now it's just kind of disappointing because it doesn't seem like it's going to really be creatively used the way it could be. It feels really clunky for what we're supposed to get. So I think while some things will be made with the ability to do so, it's not really going to change HOW some folks do things right now (baked shine has -always- been the bane of my existence since materials became a thing)

I'm trying to find the video making of, but that log in promo is a photo of a live action person for a recent promotional video they did. That's not an avatar. They used live action and effects to promote virtual reality. It was really an odd choice.

It's started up again just so everyone's aware.

I can't figure them out. I can make a preset but then it'll just go back to that low butt view, IF it decides to behave. This camera is super frustrating now and I've had firestorm for nearly 10 years, figuring out how things work isn't a stranger to me. But I've been battling these controls since I downloaded this update and I'm about to toss everything in the dumpster. I also can't figure out how to raise the follow camera. It stays focused on my butt no matter what I try to change and save.

The Evo heads accept regular lelutka/omega lashes, as well as eyes. Which also can be BOM (skin too but limited because of the intention for BOM).Just need to use the omega installer for lelutka. As for HD makeup, if you're part of the group, or part of the discord you can see all the creators producing makeup for these heads. There's lots of crossover with genus creators as well. Lots of people making BOM makeup and places that have always had layer makeup that looks fantastic on it. You can clear the texture layer of the HD makeup, and leave blend all the way up to use the materials of that HD section to make the BOM makeup, pop so to speak. As for the HUD, personal opinions aside it looks much cleaner than the magazine look they had before which also confused (and still does) a bunch of people. And in the demos is a ton of information, as well as on their website which they list like crazy, and always help available in the aforementioned discord channel which is in their group and in notecards that come with demos and heads. They take customer input to heart. The next updates to the Evolution options and abilities when the newest head releases is pretty exciting, and takes into account a lot of customer input.

I know this post is a couple of days late, but they are BOM, s'why I mentioned them specifically. Glad you found something that made you happy. It's an adorable look!

I love them, personally. I've got a wide range of heads from several creators and the Evolution heads are up there in my favorites of shape versatility. I will find the breaking point of a shape if I'm able. So far they're the only heads I can start from a new shape and it not look absolutely crunched. It's great! As for makeup. I have dug out my stuffed box of makeups/tattoos and various stuff and have had a blast mixing and matching and general experimentation to see what still works. So far I haven't been that disappointed. Izzie's has a lot of 'fixer' layer stuff that helps adjust things here and there and it's really easy to bring an older skin/makeup back from the dead now. As with all heads, the shape and mesh starting shape is going to have a big influence on how something looks. All I can say is experiment, demo and decide for yourself.

Enfer Sombre has 3 (4?) skins made specifically for Evolution heads, Elena, Fairy both in the paler range that you're looking at there and Megan, I think there's another new one at an event but I haven't got it yet.

I got in finally. Seems the rerouting around the break is working.

There's a lot of red http://www.internettrafficreport.com/namerica.htm

Yes, there does need to be a whole lot less people scamming others, but that isn't what I focused on in that particular bit. Thank you for attempting to 'fix' what I said, you didn't need to.

-Any- store that does this would quickly lose business. There are a lot of people out there on rural connections, slow/high ping connections and it can take a long time and multiple logins to load the entire store (And all their decorations!) on a good day. I have been on a rural DSL connection (Try less than 2MB DL on for size) for the last two years and lemme tell you, how frustrating it is to have to stand there, waiting for stuff to load and then get griped at by a fellow customer because you've been standing there too long. That particular scenario has never happened to me personally, but I see it all the time in groups, impatient people complaining about people 'standing around, afk' while shopping in a large/busy store or events and how they should be tossed out after 10, 15, 20 minutes. An individual has no idea if another is cam shopping or anxiously waiting for things to load and it's nigh indistinguishable from being 'afk'. It's part of the reason I wait until any and all events have cleared out of their busy times (usually a week or more) because it's just that much more difficult to load a region with that many people (even with show friends only, because each connection) or even to fight the mass of people trying to TP in. It just isn't fun. Any store that banned people based on window shopping/their opinion of 'spending too much time (wat?)' at said store would lose my business, my partner's business and potential business of friends, because why should I waste 30+ minutes of my time trying to get their decorated store to load when they obviously don't value my linden. There really needs to be a whole lot less impatient people in the world.

I miss living somewhere that had the food diversity that I grew up with. I'm currently stuck in the middle of 'white bread America' and it's literally as exciting as that. There were a couple of places that pop up every now and then, but never stick around for long because what the demographic finds as good food here in this area doesn't consider flavorful food as -good-. Or something. I can't even begin to guess why they'd choose the 'Asian-American' oversauced with teriyaki flavoring to the real thing. (There is about 6 different 'Chinese buffets' within an hour drive every direction though :/) The Ethnic section in the haphazard grocery stores isn't even big enough to shake a stick at. That said, there is this tiny Vietnamese restaurant about an hours drive away from me that we try to get to once a week. (For some reason an hour rural drive is a lot longer than an hour in the city?) The best noodles and Pho on the planet. I'm afraid it's going to go under soon and then I'll be left with nothing but my own cooking again. I'm not a bad cook, but I can't hold a candle to real Ethnic foods.

-No you can't remove your brows, they're painted on. -You'll have to replace your teeth with the ones in the box. -Your nipples are poking through your shirt. -Did my hair come off again? -My clothes are right there, what do you mean I'm naked? -No, your brows aren't gone forever, you just need to put the eyeshadow on a different face. -If you want to smile, you have to buy the expression.

My skirt disappeared and now I can't teleport.

I made it in! Sweet, sweet ocean sounds. Seems it's beginning to connect again slowly. https://gyazo.com/2ba562ab1595c0fa8ca1fc3c7ad42891

I have had a couple of friends able to log in. They're on east coast mostly. I still can't get in (midwest)

Might want to keep an eye on the Status page. https://status.secondlifegrid.net/

I'm sure that it's been said somewhere, but I'm not quite awake enough yet to have cognitively read every post. Please, furniture creators, quit using ancient animations and charging a premium for your furniture. Getting a nice looking couch, sitting on it and having my hip twist inside my body is not what I like to see after I spent a mint. And if it's no mod? I'm not buying anything of that product, ever again. If I have to rebuild the animations myself out of stuff that I already have, (Thanks AVSitter!) I better not be paying premium for a prop I put together myself.
