[Second Life 2.0 - suggestions - what you wish?]

i kinda see relisting as a problem, or at least not being able to sort by a true creation date. im not sure how it could be fixed tho, maybe a stepped sales tax might help, like the longer an item is listed the the less the sales tax there is. idk lol

[Second Life 2.0 - suggestions - what you wish?]

they need to greese up the economy imho

 

fix mp search

all products should be demo

all inworld product should be clickable by the owner to leave a MP rating/review

heavier sales tax on MP than inworld sales

rating/reviews should be incentivised with cash back from the increased sales tax to both the creator and purchaser

figure out some scaled tax to disincentivise relisting older products

ok, ty for your help

[Standard Sizing Package - quesstion ?]

ty for your reply Sassy

Gaias site is down now so i only partly understood your linked discussion.

 

was the upshot for best  fit with this pack we should - wear the shape, export the .xml, load it to avastar and not use the 'reset to defaults' ?

and this route gives the truest visual representation in blender of what we see in firestorm?

 

..and yup sorry, i didnt mean linden labs official

[Standard Sizing Package - quesstion ?]

hello :)

 

i got that official standard sizing pack on the mp,

https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Standard-Sizing-Package-Updated-Male-Female/2894727?

 

(1) i wore the shape from the pack inworld, exported it as an .xml from firestorm, then loaded that shape in blender thru avastar.

 

(2) i then loaded the official standard size blender object from the same pack

 

comparing  (1) and (2)  of the same size,  they weren't even close O.o

ok ty )

 

[mesh & male shapes made from female base]

srry was talking to drake madeline

 

@drake

is your male made from the SL female gender shape ?

 

did you make your own shape?

are you using Standard Size Mesh clothes and do they hang as intended ? or do they tend to hug at the front and swim at the back ?

ty

[mesh & male shapes made from female base]

what ?

i was trying not to get dragged into the ..'this is SL, be what you want to be, wear what you like' ..debate

but its a moot point anyway, i wasnt able to make a decent  looking male from the female gender, that was big enough to fill the smallest standard size male mesh clothing

the upshot is, if your a man, you cant have a small nose and nice clothes lool.

[mesh & male shapes made from female base]

ok, so i made a male(f), and played with some sliders, maxed out a good few of them, and threw on some of my tighter fitting clothes in male mesh standard size small.

from a very quick investigation i'd say a male(f) shape is smaller than a male small in standard size mesh.

and at least in this quick case, left a noticable gap at the back between skin and clothes when the chest and belly touched the front of the cloth.

it was far enough out that i didnt try many clothes, its kinda like wearing clothes too big and facing the wind.

from my guesses at how rigging/weighting of mesh works, this would go a long with the female having an outy spine (the tighter waist around the back), and the male having an innie (that gap between the shoulderblades)

 

[Disproportionate Avatars....]

lool

..yup, and the frunkensteen hugss loool

 

[Disproportionate Avatars....]

i went the RL proportioned / vitruvian route for my own avi and i love the non vitruvian shapes on others. not that i notice it on others, i will only notice it if im controlling the avi. its just another choice of the many available in SL. if every shape was vitruvian, imo SL would be even more freaky than it is lool.

 

what i will say is that its not just a case of making a vitruvian shape and everything is all rosey. imo

most skins will look a bit off.

AOs and animations can move less naturally sometimes in impossible ways, and even when they are mocap designed.

mesh clothes can look a lot worse.

theres something odd about the male ass position, lol. like you cant look RL proportioned from front and rear view, imo.

and the default camera angle and lense gold fish bowl effect means, for 99% of the time you dont look vitruvian anyway.

 

in the end i made slight tweaks toward 'freak' lol from the vitruvian shape, and am making a few more since, but i learned some fun stuff along the way ) ...not the least of which was making a box and stretching it lool.

..oh yeah, ty to pussycat catnip & penny patton for your blog tutorials on this

 

[mesh & male shapes made from female base]

some male shapes are built off female bases, the gender button in the edit shape is set to female. ill call these male(f)

if i make a male(m) that is also Mesh Standard Sized.

and if i made an exact copy of that shape as a male(f).

 

will mesh clothes fit and move different on both avatars.
