    Got asked about why I talk/rant/blather on so much (as an artist) about avatar proportions ...

    in Your Avatar

    Sl due to 3rd person camarea and trying to move around has made everything BIGGER to have more space for the camera in tight places.

    Soo I always add a foot to everything?

    you 5.7 irl?   make your avatar 6.7 then

    Perception works different in sl due to it not being 3d like irl
    Now Vrchat however your perception changes based on how small or big your avatar is. its wild in vr

    So what do you all think to the Premium Plus package?

    typooos with---> to without

    Just also want to add.

    Most people that Play Second life do not have money to fork out for a sim.  if sims where targeted better you have more people getting them.   change your prices for us poor fork that wanna express our fantasy without having to pick between food or rent. second life is a great escape for us that need it.  and it can be WAY better.  volume will make up for the per region low profit margin you make if you change it.  VRCHAT has your outmatch when it comes to the realms you can visit. time to update.

    The only other rich group are the content makers
    Content creators obviously have the skills to do w/e they want in sl with no issue as they basically just live off of Second lifes economy (the most successful ones)

    This is too late and not up to even reasonable levels of what any of us actually want. LL being out of touch as normal

     

    Mainland is horrid with poor performance and awkward shapes and resold at stupid prices.  more mainland does nothing.

    More stipend? sure but eh?    Free uploads. Noice. I like that.

    But....how about? Better private full sim prices??? Maybe?? Homestead without needing to fork out having to own a FULL REGION?  most people cant afford half a months work wages or even 25% of the upper classes wages on a dam sim.

    LL. you would make more money in region volume if the barrier to entry and reoccurring fee's where lower.  More active sims need to be built up to there themes aka....more market sales and more Lindens bought to pay/buy items/people to build those regions with objects!.

    and ya know some other small neat things

    1.more animesh attachment limits (dude..its the same tech our avatars run on stop making it seem like its taxing...)


    (a rant about other issues effecting SL enjoyment for most and how SL could actually make more money on market fee's if.......items wernnt so *NO EDIT* plagued)
    2a. More attachment count
    2b. update the permission settings so stupid content creators stop NO MODDING ***** that we buy because they think that  it *protects* their items from being *stolen* (it does not as OPEN GL has zero security as debug tools can see everything....., if you don't want your stuff stolen don't play SL (also bad ban the thieves))
    2C. Reason why?   We run into attachment limits because we cant link stuff with NO MOD on it....... everything that's rigged can easily be linked together as one attachment.....

    3. Mesh makers should supply mod yes options to people if they ask...like this just kills creativity and self no profit modding (cant sell whats no transfer :P)

    only the skin.  You could add mats to everything.   but you have to find those materials  people needed to MAKE THEM

    There is hardly any available to buy to use with GA:AG heads.

    been using this head since 2016. I have tried finding more purpose made material skins but none are around.    I wish skin creators would start making norm and spec maps for their diffuse skins too!  come on now  cash to be had here :E

    How it would work would be like this

    You'd get a BOM SKIN

    Plus an applier for your head /body to apply the materials

     

    done

     

    :D

    Sorry to hijack the thread, may I ask what GA:EG is exactly? I'm a 7 month old n00b here. :)

    GA.EG & Gaeline Creations

    https://ga-eg-hmc.wixsite.com/headmeshcollection

    https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/35845

    GA.EG is a brand that is a product of two brands working together Ellegance by ElleEtGance and Gaeline Creations by Gael Streeter. Together both Elle and Gael have been creating very professional mesh heads and now eyes that come with very intuitive HUDs.

     

    Thats the jist of it

    for 2016+ onward it was pretty amazing.   seems creators dont make skins or add on to it. which is sad.... its so very easy to add textures to this head and materials.    the newer heads come out with some nice materials built into the head and great default skins.  but your still gonna go out and by a 3rd party skin for that had.   I just wish those skins also come with materials too!

    but...they dont  and thus GA:EG heads dont look as great becuase they are lacking the material layers

    Textures work the following way

    Diffuse (basically any picture is diffuse)

    Normal map (bumps to tell the lighting engine to make Illusions of depth )

    Spec map (How light reflects off of you!)

    New heads can only offer new default shapes of the mesh itself

    The huds (minus save controls and color savers and alpha control) or limiting and useless and if MOD YES was allowed you have finer control over everything. but oh well. rant over

    I would assume they don't fit most people's definition of either cute/sexy/kawaii that are most popular looks in SL. Not a fan of those myself; to me their female heads look rather manly and most importantly very samey. Even more so than all those Catyas from Catwa that still can be found often enough.

    But like with all heads and bodies, as long as you or others who wear those are happy with your look(s), then it's the only thing that matters. However if someone does ask for an opinion, then I usually tell them something like I wrote here and point towards Lelutka to try the demos at least.

    Makes sense :P

    I find GA:EG more mature in general (minus their younger ones)  and I find that sexy, more so then the other heads

    I am trying a demo for EvoX avalon atm and sure the whole bom thing is cool but my signature glowing marks wont transfer over sadly from the current looks of things

    I think so too :(

    friend is paying though so i can do a full makeover and see if it works regardless of I stick with it.   am kinda of a 1 avatar type fox so yeah I like one identity so changing is hard for me. But from what I noticed hardly anyone knows what GA:EG is....

    And here I am with my GA:EG Jennifer head as I disliked Catwa heads back in there day for the *consent jittering* animation.  
    Feel in love with the hud for GA:EG and the AO HUD you could get and the eyes you had to get.   Yes it was expensive.   But being an advanced avatar maker I also got MOD YES for the eyes and head from GA:EG as a note card request (had material related settings I couldn't touch otherwise).

    Soo I had fun all these years

    What I look like just a few days ago

     

    Seems a friend wants to get me a Avalon head from LelEvox for a better mature look.     am not sure its hard to get my glowing tattoo to work as is (another reason why I use Mait body still as Legacy body looks great, its hud is very laggy, not really useful and the kit to to apply textures to the bodies has script bugs,  aka cant get the tattoo onion layer to glow! )

    I just in general hate being told my head is outdated when the only thing all the  new heads offer is a new base default shape.   Where your sliders can only change that head so much.

    Granted you run into all the textures and makeup that get made for such head... too  but.... 1024 by1024 texture can only be soo........HD ya know?   its style and personal choice at this point no?

    Now I have noticed my head looks more *game* like then some other heads the shape does not lend well when next to other heads for that *reality look*   so some uncanny vally can happened.

    But am not here for 1st life XD

    Another cute picture


    I am actually open to any comments about my look, I tend to not understand the current vibes in the community well, but please more then just *outdated*  give deets if you can

    Potential for UUID ripping from system layers and consequent use with appliers

    in Bakes on Mesh

    Posted

    Soooo you do all understand that if someone wants to rip textures? they can just do it with openGL tool right? Nothing you can do INSIDE LL will protect your meshes or your textures or anything. at all ever "NO mod".....nothing. The second it hits any computers cash, the second it hits your graphics card it is at risk of being taken BY ANYONE that wants it. period full stop.

    just my 2 cents

    id second the question do you take mesh clothing requests?

    I have an idea for an entire line of sci-fi clothing needed.

    But i also have a small collar project and mini game id like to make for my kitsune.

     

    I have made the collar as much as i could from parts i have been able to gather up, but the main part inside is still prim :(* and i have little skill in scripting a minigame
