    Landscape Photographs!

    I started my own little tradition 5 years ago.  At this time each of the past 5 years I've taken a photo commemorating a wildfire.  5 years ago, the Columbia River Gorge burned, and I mourned the loss of trails I regularly hiked. A couple years after that wildfires hit south of me.  2 years ago the wildfires came for me and I had to get out fast.  Luckily, I did not lose my home.

    Each time the wildfires were burning my sky turned a dark, milky orange color.  You couldn't see 30 meters or even tell where the sun was in the sky.  The air was thick, hot, and sticky.  Just breathing was hard.   

    This morning I woke to the faint smell of another far away wildfire.  So, this year I wanted to try and capture the air from those other 3 fires. I had to do some post processing to get the right orange color.  I didn't get quite as much smoke in the air as I wanted, but I ran out of tools to try in my photo editor.

    I couldn't give your picture a 'like' because... wild fires.  However, you did a wonderful job of conveying the sky and air close to a fire. 

    I live in California, but we've been lucky in my area with not having any catostrophic wild fires the past few years.  I do live not too far from where the Tubbs fire was in 2017 though, and that is something I won't forget.

    Is Lara "done"?

    in Your Avatar

    Posted

    In terms of is Lara "done", I have a feeling it won't ever be "done" because of the large amount of people still wearing Lara - far above the numbers of any of the other bodies - and because of the large number of creators rigging for it.  

    I'm still waiting for Slink Physique Original to be "done", yet there are creators still rigging for it.  I just bought several outfits from an event this morning rigged for it, and another monthly event usually has at least one original mesh creator who rigs for it.

    So, I imagine it's going to take much, much longer for a body as popular as Lara to finally (if ever) reach a point where it could be considered "done".

    Are Slink hands and feet still separate from the body?

    At the Slink store you can buy a body bundle which includes hands and feet (and includes them attached, according to the more info documentation from the store).

    If you own a prior version of the body and redelivery does not deliver a bundle version, if you own at least 4 of the feet styles or the deluxe feet set you can contact Slink Resident in order to be upgraded to the bundle version of the body with the attached hands and feet.

    I don't have a clear yes or no answer for this. When the Redux (BOM) version came out, there was an option to get the body with feet and hands attached if you owned a majority of the foot shapes.  In terms of what's being sold in the store, right now, or what is included in the redelivery, I'm not sure if they are separate or if there's an option to buy them all together.  I don't remember what the number of feet you needed in order to get everything attached was but checking in the Slink group with the CSR might be a good idea.

    I had a Slink original, but I really liked the hands and feet options on the Lara so much better. It's gonna be mostly for pics so I may have it redelivered.

    There is a longer-than-normal length in the middle section of the fingers on Slink, but it's only noticeable in some hand poses, so it doesn't bother me too much.  Tonic Fine may also have that issue with fingers, but it's been a while since I've worn Tonic. I suppose Lara's hands are better in that aspect. 

    Regarding feet, though, I do like the Slink feet best.   I've had Slink hands and feet much longer than I've had any of the mesh bodies, so I just feel really comfortable with them.

    New Profiles . . .

    I can't comment on any of the technical stuff or the decision-making capabilities of LL, but as an average user who has been using the SL viewer again since the performance viewer version was released, I like the look of the new profiles.  I feel it's definitely an improvement over the web version of the profile that had been used in the SL viewer, and in my opinion, an improvement over the legacy profiles in the third-party viewers.

    I like to have a slender body shape, also.   I have tried a demo of Legacy and of Slink Hourglass but wasn't able to get a shape I liked from them. 

    I have Lara, Tonic Fine and Slink Physique Original - of the 3 I like Slink the best and it is the one I wear most often. 

    While it's not common to find clothes for the original Slink at events, there are a few times when I'm surprised and find something I like that comes with both Maitreya and Slink at an event.  I have found stores where I like the clothing styles which include Slink Original and Maitreya (and sometimes even Tonic Fine), so I don't really feel limited in my choices for buying clothes, but I am also not one who is out buying clothes every weekend or every event. 

    I do like some of the Tonic made clothes for Tonic Fine, but I'm not as happy with the shape of the legs on Tonic, so that is why I don't wear it as frequently as I wear Slink. 

    Every so often I get Lara out and give it another try, but after a few days I usually end up back using Slink - it just seems like a better fit for me.  If I come across some outfit that I really, really like, and it only comes with Maitreya, I may buy it, but it would have to be something that really catches my attention.

    Most Popular Linden Home Theme?

    in Linden Homes

    Posted

    The Fantasy home region is wonderful.  I remember when it first opened and I boated over to it - that was an amazing experience.  When I have thought about getting a house there again, I found that it was hard to get one along a waterway - at least on the days I was trying.  It is a limited land area also.  It may have limited availability also.  It seems like the last time I was trying, I kept getting the same 2 choices.

    Most Popular Linden Home Theme?

    in Linden Homes

    Posted

    I would say Houseboat, Victorian and the Stilts that on/over water, are the most popular themes, based on those are often the types that are hard to find on the land page. Those are also the ones that they tend to add at later times, as well (when they were building the new area for Log Cabins, some more Vics were added along one side of the coast, new areas of additional Houseboats and Stilt homes are still being added).

    Perhaps Traditional, also.  It seems like traditional is the one theme that after they finished with the initial build out of the Trads, they haven't added any new regions when regions were added later for other themes.

    "Nam's Optimal Skin and Prim" can be found in the Inventory->Library->Environments->Skies->Nam folder. 

    It can be copied and pasted into the Inventory->Settings folder, so that it's easier to find.  Also, there should be a "My Environments" button on the viewer toolbar which will allow you to quickly and easily apply a sky setting from your Inventory->Settings folder.

    If you're interested in a Mainland 1024 sqm parcel, yes, you will need to pay to purchase the parcel, but after the initial purchase you won't have to pay any ongoing charge for the parcel as long as you don't own more than a 1024 sqm Mainland parcel.

    ok, here I am again with my  Acronym illiteracy.. What the heck is PBR?  hehehehe

    I don't know what it stands for either, but every time I see it, I read it as "peanut butter".  Not sure I'd want peanut butter gumming up the textures.   🙃

    Looking forward to 2048 Linden Homes...

    in Linden Homes

    Posted

    I'm curious to see what the 2048 LH's will be like.  I like the idea of ranch style as long as the house is not too large (no larger than a house that would fit on a 1024) so that there is a lot of open space still on the parcel - perhaps for a few big oak trees and a few horses :)

    Though, they'd have to be really, really, really nice for me to give up the Trad I currently have. 

    I'm also curious to see what the theme upgrades will be for the Trads.
