    Us 'Novas' will have to wait, I'm sure.  But it's good news that Lelutka is caring for it's earlier investors.  If only all SL 'body part' designers were as good!

    Well I don't have to wait after all.  I tried the new Billie head, and liked it so much, I got it while half price.  Now, do I save up in RL to change my name when LL release 'Billie' as a new second name? Like everything in SL, it might be a long wait....

  2. Is the theory that eBody Reborn is catching up on Maitreya's dominance based on people wanting big boobs?  I must admit it's the opposite that is a big factor in my choices.  I just can't get the eBody to my size, but so many clothing makers seem to have abandoned Lara(x)Petite, so I am on Legacy Perky+Petite now.  I would have gone with eBody if they had had a smaller bust option.

    I just had it redelievered, but I do not have anything for LaraX in the box.

    Edit: Never mind, mine is not from Sensations, but from Session...

    It was going to be a 'couple of months' back in November for the Sessions one, which is one reason I jumped ship.  Still no V-LaraX.

  4. I found Reborn was too hard to get slim enough for me (ya, I know about deformers), but Legacy Perky worked fine with my old Lara Petite shape plus a couple of little tweeks.  But if you are doing it for preggy reasons that might not be a factor.  My big issue with the change was going to get the redeliveries to find the Perky versions of gazillions of clothes...

    ... have demo'ed it, but it suffer from the usual "must -show -a -part -of-the -tummy" syndrome.

    It is almost tucked in, so close....

    ...

    I think the horrible bare belly look is dictated by the fact it fits more different pants.  Really a full tucked-in version needs dedicated pants/skirts/shorts etc..  And that may limit sales.

    My solution is to wear a BoM tee under - if I can find one that works with it. (Note to self: learn how to make BoM bellies.... :)

  6. I wonder why Lelutka gave them a licence to use their EvoX UV AND slag them off ( 4x the detail... ) at the same time?  Looking forward to trying this though.  Does anyone know if having a 1000x1000 UV map cost you preformance?  Does it eat more bandwidth or something?  If not why not 20,000 x 20,000?

  7. I should know this, but I have this big grey object in my head, even after taking everything off, and clearing cache, and rebooting.  How do I get rid of it?  It sticks out the back, and you can't select it.

  8. I have the V for Lara, and the Sensations ***** too.  The V was more expensive.  Now Sessions will want another tranche of cash for the LaraX, next decade when it comes out, 'soon' (tm), whereas Sensations gave me the update.  I don't actually like the V as much as the Sensations (for Lara), but it's HUD is better.  So I am a a happy LaraX camper!

    A few creators have stopped making clothes for Lara classic, but more are still making them. Some haven't even picked up LaraX yet, though if their customers ask for LaraX sizes, they will.

    I agree with everything you say.  The main reason why I am so vociferous about where I am taking my future purchases (LaraX Petite only) is to help those who are dithering, and also to guide designers.  Others will be just as firm, but with different tastes.  It's like wine, I don't like white wine, but I'm happy to drink Cabernet Sauvignon until the cows come home.  This doesn't mean I think Chablis drinkers are nuts (unlike my views on Tea-Totallers 😄).

    I see some places with LaraX + Lara, but no Petite, I am not a customer any more.  Sorry.  The number of alternative bodies is now so huge you have to make strong decisions or waste vast efforts making more than one work for you.

  10. I have pretty much moved completely over to LaraX Petite now.  To some extent this is thanks to @Earalia Nolan, and Sensations - the final piece in the body-jigsaw.

    I won't be buying anything that doesn't support it from now on either.  This isn't proving to be hard.  I have found lots and lots of clothes for 'me'.  While many are new clothes (or updates) rigged especially for LaraX Petite, I have made custom-alphas for a huge swathe of my old Lara and Lara Petite clothes, mostly 'cold weather' types.  A key factor in much of the re-tailoring work has been use of V5 autohide in some clothes,  anything with V4 autohides is a real pain (I'm looking at ya Blueberry), but it's not insurmountable.

    I'm also having fun going through my inventory and deleting stuff that I'll never been seen dead in again...
