I think they're keeping it under wraps to avoid campers

The bonus is: when you work with those programs or even blender. What you end up with in SL will look pretty much like what was rendered in Blender/Substance/etc.

If there’s a discount for people that already own one of the Belleza bodies, I’m in 100%. I bought eBody because of the discount and just held off on wearing it full time until I had enough shoes. That worked out well for me. I’ll probably do it again.

Here's a good question: Does PBR open up any possibilities in SL, besides the obvious "Things will look nicer?"

Absolutely! One more day and we get to see how it really is.

You’ll see an uptick of Freya clothes for a little while. Since creators will be trying to get their hands on the Gen X kit, they’re going to want to show they can create things for a Belleza body. So the side effect is going to be seeing more items for Freya (at least) from some creators that might’ve dropped it.

Pictures are starting to dribble out from ads (I did links because they're probably NSFW): https://flickr.com/photos/deetalez/52393802893 https://flickr.com/photos/deetalez/52393803043 https://flickr.com/photos/starlightclair/52385914902

I’m good with making alphas if they don’t come with it. So it doesn’t matter to me either way. I don’t want to lose an attachment point with that rlv thing. Sometimes when I wear my sc-if outfits they get attachment heavy. I see the appeal of it though.

From what I’ve seen on their discord, it’s going to do both similar to Maitreya. Which is smart, because apparently not having alpha cuts can be a deal breaker for some people.

I wouldn’t have said it so heavy handed, but…I feel you. Besides, it hasn’t been rolled out yet. Let’s see how it works for people with lower end spec PCs first.

I would say wait a couple more days. Belleza is coming out with two new bodies on Oct 1. In the meantime demo the others you might be interested in and play around with the shape and huds.

I'd probably need more land and a warehouse to keep all my stuff in

*runs to get a cup of coffee*

a pretty good one is smartnormalmap 2.0 https://www.smart-page.net/smartnormal/ You just load your image in and adjust it. I just did a quick search of a tile in google and did this normal map in about 30 seconds. Of course you would have to play around with it for SL, but I'm thinking that would simulate some depth pretty well inworld

Making a normal map is pretty easy. There are normal map generators online. gimp also has a normal map generator plug-in. Say you have a diffuse texture for a floor, you can run it through a normal map generator and create a normal map for the floor that matches the diffuse perfectly. I do it all the time in my houses. Since you already do your own builds and can make a specular map you’re almost there.

That is doable now. There's a couple people that do custom work with materials and lighting that really make SL pop.

It might be against ToS, but to me on the scale of offenses it's probably a -1 on the scale. It's probably in the ToS for LL to cover their butts legally. I remember on a lot of message boards people used to quote what someone else said on the board in their signature that was funny or weird. It's the SL equivalent to that to me. It's pretty harmless. It's also a good indicator that I want to limit my interaction with the person that did it. In my experience, its usually a snippet of a conversation and the people that have it in their picks usually are the type of people that try to provoke those kind of reactions. It's like a giant glowing "Danger" sign.

A lil bit country

It’s cosplay! Its definitely an older Magika hair. I’m getting ready for work so I’ll pm you the exact name later today.

Like Dora the Explorer

You could always drag the T2 feet into the updated Kupra folder.

That’s exactly what I was describing!
