    I would caution folks to see what CLOTHES they can get to fit the altamura bodies though.

    Good point, and one I'd overlooked - having spent most of the last couple of months finding solutions and workarounds for making clothes fit my system body (ie a couple of shape variations and many 'borrowed' alphas!), I'm a little unprepared for how differently awkward it can be for mesh bodies.

    So, for anyone thinking of going the Alta-route, demo, demo, then demo some more!

  2. Oh, just wanted to mention..

    Altamura are currently offering up to 80% off bento fullbody models to group members (until the 20th Dec) - that's just L900 + L40 group fee for an omega-compatible full bento body and head! A quick scan of the mp tells me there's a choice of two male and three female models, although I haven't checked inworld for which ones display the group-only price.

    Added to that, their latest releases, Aaron and Mia, are also 80% off.

    'cos, y'know, some people might not feel the need to wait for the Jenny full-version offer...

  3. Yep, the WoW calendar lets you collect gifts from previous days :D

    My 'Advent picks' notecard has all the LMs organised into 'Current day only' and 'Previous days too' so I can save myself a little schlepping here and there O.o

    And I'm really liking the free eBody classic on my alt - the 12 skin tones make it pretty versatile, although omega compatibility would be even better. I'm not sure I want to splash out on another relay yet though - I'm still new to mesh/ appliers, and I want to save up and see what Altamura offer as a deal on the full version of Jenny after xmas...

    wanted to show what is out there and that anyone can have a really good looking avatar

    Great work Chic! And you've inspired me to try the eBody with my alt :)

    after joining a second group (this one free at the moment) and with the help of customer support or just a really nice person in the FIRST group I joined (for creators -- don't make that mistake) I did get the hud for $50.

    So, which is the correct group? I just tried to pay L50 while wearing the 'Omega Applier Systems - Support Group' tag and got turned down :(

    ★•••★ JENNY BENTO FULL BODY ★•••★

    ?

    • It is a complete avatar, with Bento Head, Body and Bento Hands. It has a limited HUD and it is a preview of the full functionally version that will be available on January. It is NOT Omega compatible. 

    A lovely Angel was telling me that after they released the free male avatar in the MOH10 hunt, it was released as a full version for around L900, before it went up to the usual 4-figure price. Fingers crossed...

    it's a sweet freebie! The feet are Slink compatible! AND you can animate the Bento hands with the extra HUD!

    Yup! the main limitation for me is the lack of skins, but everything else is great :D

    Some possible joy to look forward too, from the alta/jenny blog post:

    "People who have this gift will receive a great surprise! Stay tuned with us in our Altamura Design/Mesh Avatar Group to discover what will be!"

    If it's anything like the male avatar deal, it'll be sweet ;)

  8. Ok, I got this head the first day (yup, it took a few crashes!).

    I've never used a mesh head with a HUD like this before so it took me a few goes to figure it out.

    The " Altamura: Head  WOMAN HUD v0.34" (actually v0.36, despite what the NC says) was there on first rez, along with:

    • "MAYA - baltic" HEAD skin applier: this includes 4 skin tones, each with 4 makeup variations. You click on the skin tone icon in the applier for it to appear in the HUD.
    • "MAYA - blatic [sic] sea" makeup base applier: again, click on the icons here (hairbase, brows, eyeshadow, blush, lips, lashes x2) to put them in the HUD. The first time I added it, the applier was 'blank' (confusing as hell for a newb) but was fine after detaching and reattaching (although it's happened again on a couple of subsequent occassions).
    • " OMEGA " BALTIC body applier skin: I don't have an Omega relay so I can only guess this applies the skin tones that come with the head to Omega-compatible bodies.

    The initial OTT makeup is simply each makeup item turned up to 11: you can switch each makeup item on and off via the HUD and whenever you click 'on' you get that item turned up full, until you use the blend slider to adjust it.

    Once I figured a few things out, created a 'zeroed' head copy with no makeup, I got down to matching the head skin to various bodies (with mixed results). The 'Colour Skin' dropdown thingy is a bit of a nightmare - I wish it was possible to enter RGB values - but I managed to get some fairly useable starting points without too much fuss.

    And then things got weird:

    First, an extra skin appeared in the HUD (in addition to the 4 baltic tones). I have no idea where it came from, whether it should have been there in the first place, or was the result of me randomly clicking on anything and everything in my skins folder that included the work 'applier'. It looks like a properly designed skin too, not just a result of me fiddling with skin colouring: https://gyazo.com/76723ec51503dfd8b282974e38701675 Mystery Skin.

    Second, I went back to my saved outfits using the Maya head after I spotted this thread to check the HUD etc, and found that the 'Color Skin' section of the HUD has stopped working (same with all the makeup elements)!!! I tried re-rezzing the box, but the Hud isn't appearing in the contents. I just have the first one.

    So, anyone had the same experiences? Also, I'd assumed the head wouldn't be Omega compatible - has anyone found that it is? If so, I'd at least be able to use it with my system body and a nice skin that comes with both appliers and system versions..

    Final note: there's an Altamura Bento full body in the WOH4 hunt - the head part responds to waaay more shape sliders than the 4 head and 3 eye ones that the Maya one does, BUT it comes with just one skin, and the info states it's NOT Omega-compatible, and there isn't a HUD with makeup options or anything, just the alpha one..

  9. Hey all!

    I did a search to see if this had already been covered but, to my surprise, i couldn't find anything apart from folx listing sn@tch in their fave stores.

    So, according to https://fabfree.wordpress.com/fabfree-30-days-list/, there's a freebie avatar available to newbies less than 30 days old. I followed the link, and the instructions, and had a good nose around the store...but I still can't find it! Seeing as the page was last updated in August 2016, does anyone know if this is still current..?!

    I don't even know of I need a new avi...but time's-a-tickin'! xx
