Okay, I might as well bounce on in 🙂 I was playing around on one of my fountains this morning (I have WAY too many, because of course I do). Here's the raw shot: And here's the edited shot: I usually just tweak the lighting a bit, with a touch of cropping. This one I got all "I'm going to play with my stamp tool!" so I removed a random cube my husband had rezzed (he's trying to script something to explode into bacon, for reasons I do not entirely understand) and some buildings I kind of didn't like. Looking at the end result though, I could have just removed the cube, maybe, and did the teensy bit of curve adjustment I did. Edited to add that I'm still very much an SL Photography newbie. I took the class on SL Photography at Caledon earlier this year, which helped with some setting issues... other than that, I generally just find where I want the picture, pick the pose, set the windlight I want (this was Daytime Shadows; Bryn Oh's Mayfly is another favorite), and commence to clicking. I love how I got the dragonflies in this one 🙂

I swear, if I don't get a manicure soon... I'll have to file my own nails. Sigh... 😛

I'll give that a shot, Arwen. It's not like I don't have time 🙂 Re alpha issues, I don't think that was the case. I was able to use the pre-made HUD that comes with the version where you just drop the UUID into the script without a problem. Tattoo showed up like a charm. It was when I attempted it with my personally made HUD that it got wonky.

Tazzie, sheer cussedness I guess. It's not critical at this point; I've joined the Omega Support discord and if they can help, cool. If not, eh... obviously I'll survive 🙂 I just hate it when I've obviously borked something and can't work out what's wrong... in large part because I could repeat this mistake elsewhere, and I try to learn from each failure.

Heee!!! I finally managed it, actually, for the clothing textures, so at least that mystery of SL scripting/ HUD creation has been solved. Now I just need to master creating my own HUD for an Omega applier...

Hi Lillith 🙂 It's something I'm doing wrong with the notecard, I'm pretty sure; either that or I've borked my button descriptions. I was able to create an applier using the Advanced Omega System (where you just rezz the pre-made HUD on the ground and insert the UUID in the Config script) with no problem, and it functioned on all three applier layers. My self-created HUD functioned on zero applier layers. I'm on Maitreya v5, and I added all three layers (clothing, underwear, tattoo). As stated above, they worked with the Omega Advanced HUD, but not with the Omega applier HUD where you have to configure a notecard. I am 100% sure this is definitely a "me" error. I either borked something in my HUD construction/ naming, or I hosed the notecard setup. Worse yet, I'm sure it's something obvious... it's just not yet obvious to me lol. I'll see if I can find the Omega Support Discord. Edited to add that I found and joined it, and it's pretty dead in there... there are unaddressed questions from weeks ago.

I'm sorry about that first post; I'd gotten logged out, and then when I came back I couldn't type into the message field *facepalm* Anyway, I'm trying to create an Omega applier for a tattoo for a friend. If she were Bakes on Mesh it would be fine, except for the whole "tattoo just on the left arm" thing. But Omega Appliers are a new beast for me. I've got the dev kit, I made my HUD (I have successfully created texture-change HUDs that actually work for pre-made mesh clothing, so I have some knowledge of how they're assembled and the need for attention to detail in naming buttons and their descriptions), I made the notecard, dropped it and the script into the applier, recompiled and... nothing happens. No errors show up, I've double checked to ensure I'm wearing the Maitreya applier layers, have my Maitreya HUD and the Omega System Relay HUD up and... nada. Does anyone know of a written or video tutorial that addresses standard Omega appliers, where you do the notecard and drop in the script (rather than the Omega Advanced, which I can find) so I could check my steps and be sure I'm not missing something basic? I'm about to boot my computer across the room, except I STRONGLY suspect/ know this is an operator error.

I'm taking a break from learning how to make/ edit/ whatever a texture HUD. I might just lose my ever-lovin' mind.

So I built a couch. That sucker's 14 LI, but I don't care. I made it. It's mine Now I just have to figure out AVSitter...

Morning coffee, from the safety of my tree stump. What?

Scylla, I'd think that. I do own the Slink Physique Redux, although I don't wear it much because the butt bugs me (on me; I'm sure others have tweaked their shape better!), but I know when I open various clothing packages I do see more options for Physique than I feel as if I have in the past. Or maybe I'm more keyed into it because I actually own the body now? Purely anecdotal and not much help, but you may have grounds for what you're thinking.

Happy Easter all, from Ajay and Ellie! Well, mostly from me. Ellie, much like an actual infant, was Not. Having. It.

I am so weirdly flattered that my calf's face is your profile pic... heeee!!!!

Heeeee!!! Yes, he looks a bit "uh... lady?" I really need to work with my Black Dragon download, though... this took a mere FIFTY shots to grab. Facepalm.

I'm so sorry for your loss, @Madelaine McMasters. I both laughed and teared up reading your retelling of your mother's passing. I hope my children will have a similar response when I leave ❤️

When all else fails, snuggle a calf.

What passes for Work Flow around here nowadays. On the plus side, my fridge is mere steps away, in both physical and virtual worlds

Oh lordy, tell me about it. I have a vat of acetone here at home for when I can't take it anymore, and the misery of leaving them on outweighs the drudgery of removal.

Okay, this is super petty, but since it's a vent thread... I would freaking KILL for a manicure. The lady who does my nails has (very reasonably) closed down until probably the end of April, and by then my nails will be an utter disaster. I mean, I'm totally going to survive, but I've only just gotten them looking nice (she uses a gel overlay, which helps my normally tiny, fragile nails actually look like adult fingernails), and in a couple weeks I'm going to be back at having baby hands

My 50th birthday bash moved completely inworld lol -- it was a blast ❤️

Here's today's effort at looking vaguely professional. I'm headed in to the office in RL because there are Things That Must Be Done. Also, it's my birthday today. I'm 50. It's going to be a different sort of celebration than we'd planned lol

I'm attempting to create a vaguely professional look, as I'm currently interacting with a group with very little SL familiarity. I raised the neckline with a system layer; hoping this is sufficient.

I'm... hanging in? Work is weird. I went in today to run payroll, and bless my bosses' hearts, they seemed surprised I bailed once all the necessities were taken care of. No, boys, you're both in the "vulnerable" age group, and I'm going to hie my less-vulnerable self outta there and go home. The rest of the stuff I can manage here, no problem. In other news, The Infant, she suffers

In a state of mild disbelief that I'm headed into the physical plant today (it's payday, and checks must be cut).

Beautiful picture -- and we're totally going
