I'm so in love with these new lamps by James&Dew mentioned by Esther in an earlier post (I'll quote at the bottom for details): And look, thumbnails and textures all included! Just wowing at the level of TLC from this brand 😵

Speaking of Kraftwork, I just saw this gift in the group notices (KraftWork Writer's Corner . Writer's Tablet & Flowers Textures). The notice is from 2 weeks ago so be quick before it disappears!

If I come across a vendor ad on Flickr, I just save it temporarily and upload (if the creator hasn't included the texture with the product already). I just prefer them over my amateur snapshots.

I've actually been using the upload option the most and that is free as well (the upload function mentioned in this blog, not from the Build menu): https://modemworld.me/2023/06/27/looking-at-the-second-life-inventory-extensions-project-viewer/

Oh I see, so no differences what I upload then. Thanks Wulfie.

If you select "upload from computer" or "choose texture" instead of "use snapshot tool", you'll be able to use an image exceeding 256x256. I use Firestorm so not sure if these function the same as in LL official viewer.

Are there any implications for uploading higher resolution images for inventory preview thumbnails? I've mostly been uploading vendor ads from social media instead of taking inworld snapshots and noticed that higher res images result in sharper thumbnail previews but not sure if that's going to be problematic on say performance or texture loading time, etc. ETA: If "Upload from computer" or "Choose texture" options are chosen instead of "Use snapshot tool", images exceeding 256x256 can be used. The resulting thumbnail may be compressed but my question is whether there are any ramifications for uploading higher res images. There are visual differences when that is done, but I wonder if I do this for the whole of my inventory, I would potentially run into problems.

That's not what I meant. I was responding to your comment from the point of view of people "inspecting" items and that form of indirect advertising. I wasn't trying to imply how customers enjoy their product; rather, the intent of a creator, their wariness of their items being inspected, and how they respond to that. They may respond with the reasoning that yes they do want their customers to showcase their work and they have enough customers who don't mind no-mod. Whatever the case, it's fine. As I said, at the end of the day it is up to consumers to choose for themselves. I personally don't pay attention to permissions when it comes to clothes either so I'm probably just not making my point well.

Yes that's true. I guess that leads to the question of whether a creator sells their products so they can get free advertising from their paying customers or so their customers can enjoy their products. And either is fine; it's up to the consumers to choose what suits them.

Don't worry, any creation "ruined" by a user is at low risk if being inspected. People generally inspect items that look good to them.

Ecoe store is a new one for me - you can join the group for free for some gifts (the mirror and books set seems to be set to a different group so I couldn't get that one): http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Wintervale/103/79/2223

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I have searched my inventory until my eyes are fuzzy!

Can anyone recall what this item is called? I just know it is somewhere in my inventory but I don't remember what is it called or where it is from.. maybe What Next but can't be sure

I think I've seen this necklace a few times now and have always wondered where I can get it - it's so gorgeous. Does anyone have any idea what necklace this is?

My picks from the Farmers Market list - you can get the notecard in the Panache Events SL: Customer Group notices. Konoha: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Whitlock/139/171/2600 The white set of buttercups is L$80. The fatpack has texture change options including the white and is L$480 (regular price seems to be L$599 based on the vendor sign). Deco soup: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Pine Creek/192/215/1652 The pillow set is L$150, and there are 3 sets of chalkboards for L$80 each. I love when there is a full pack option - this one is for L$300, but check your inventory because I think the chalkboards might have been a previous release (not entirely sure though). Serenity Style: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Lost Dreams Island/111/65/22 ... cute bus stop for L$80 ETA: 15 land impact

Love the picture Chic, what wall/build is that in the background?

Personally I would like the option to just pay for whatever was added instead of buying the whole thing again. One store I bought a fatpack from later added more textures and the only way to get them was to buy the fatpack again. Now I always hold back from buying from them in case they update anything down the track. This other clothing store, named after a fruit, renames their old releases when they add new sizes. Don't know their reason for it, but it makes it hard to check if you have it already, especially when their classic packs are exactly the same colors as the original. I used to inspect the mesh and based on the upload date, trace back to the original item. I also contacted their CSR to ask if they could be more transparent, but eh too much trouble so I've stopped shopping there.

L$50 at Sources for Wanderlust Weekend. 5LI and comes with texture HUD for the seats (but not the wood). I haven't tried all the animations, but I really liked the default one when I first sat on it, you can try it here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Hidden Desire/182/115/23
