  1. i use krita (it's free software😁) and the standard built in photo app for windows to edit my photos. but in those programs it's usually just cropping, maybe contrast/levels/saturation. I spend time picking angles, environmental lighting, and most stuff in-world until i like it, so i have very minimal editing to do post sl. I also tend to take larger resolution photos in sl then resize them in krita for posting online.
  2. maybe something like this? https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/FrozenDreams-Bento-Hand-Animation-Hand-Stretch/11223877 it works with whatever ao you're wearing, i personally use it with non-bento aos
  3. if anything fabulously free has a freebie mesh body & head section that you can look at. https://fabfree.wordpress.com/the-fabfree-mesh-body-and-head-listing/ some of the freebie bodies work with rigged clothes for the popular mesh bodies. lucy body is another cheaper alternative that can also wear clothes from other popular bodies (i think it was Maitreya clothes, and slink shoes). lucybody even has a mesh head now too. personally i still use a freebie head by the black sheep on one of my avatars just bc i like it. and i haven't been able to find a lel or other more expensive head that looks similar enough when i've tried demos of curiosity. when it comes to mesh, i kinda feel like you should stick with what works for you. No need to feel pressured into buying expensive mesh that's popular if thats not what you want. especially for bento mesh heads, there's so many out there. try demos and mess with shapes/skins until you find something you like. I'd pass on any mesh body or head that has no demo tho, unless it's like only L$1.
  4. going off this idea i quickly put together blake. swapped the head with the black sheep's rehead remod Asian head to test the body with it. i used the the mesh head's original shape, only adjusted the arm/legs muscles bc they looked so thin. the hair, socks, and jacket were freebies. jacket is by gabriel, hair from dura, and socks from curious kitties. the legacy sized jacket was the closest to fitting blake's body. still needed alphas bc parts poke out with movement, also had adjust the but size to make it not clip through the jeans. everything else (pants, shoes, skin, eyes, hairbase, and brows) is standard senra stuff. I
  5. i feel like in the case of being close to someone makes it different. i cleared out ppl i friended when i was more lax with accepting requests where it never went anywhere past a one to a few interactions. i have one true sl friend that if she went offline for good, i'd never remove her. my friends list only contains the users i'm close too at this point.
  6. not sure if it's been mentioned but fabulously free's blog has a section on freebie mesh bodies & heads which i'm sure many newbies may start at. i personally like the freebie heads by the black sheep (i still use one of them for my non-starter avatars). i'll use facial, bink, and chat aos to give freebie mesh heads more life if they don't already include those. i think i managed to find some cheap ones on mp, i cant remember anyways maybe i should tinker with senra and see what i can put together.
  7. i have a bucket set out at my home, please stop by! (oops saw the signup form after posting, so i just removed the slurl :v)
  8. yeah im thinking this feature isnt in firestorm yet. really hoping it gets implemented soon because this would be useful. currently my method was taking photos of stuff myself but it costs lidens so i dont do it often. making my inventory folder system be really thorough is the best way atm.
  9. found another video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhpAT88ZuTU. seems they just sold the textures on marketplace
  10. i watched the video, thanks @Resi Pfeffer. not sure if anyone knows this as the video description says op didnt know if there was a option to export tattoos from the legacy applier. so i'm wondering if customers would have to put it into the applier themselves if the images as given to them? i tried looking at the hud myself and couldn't figure a export option either.
  11. so i made a tattoo using standard sluv maps to create a bom tattoo. i made it fit anatomy and legacy m. getting a bom asymmetric tattoo for anatomy is straight forward, just need to the wear the included asymmetric arm layer. but im confused how to do this on legacy? especially if i plan to sell the tattoo. since normally i'd just sell the tattoo layer. i previously made a omega and Maitreya applier in addition to bom version for a old asymmetric tattoo i did, but i dont think legacy works with omega.
  12. opening up lifetime premium in addition to the subscription models would be perfect. it allows more options for people to chose from. who knows ppl may start out on premium subs then eventually buy lifetime plan if they enjoy it enough? it's definitely something i'd switch too if i could afford it. here's to hoping LL does bring it back.
  13. i use the dolye liden home, and recent bought a shell to add wallpapers after learning about them from this thread. i used the Stormy Creations - LH Victorian Doyle Add-on from marketplace with wall paper and floor textures i also bought on marketplace. bedrooms: living room & kitchen the yard still unsure what to do with this main room tho.
  14. i dealt with a similar issue. i had bought a mainland plot maybe a year ago to create a art gallery/garden space in sl to showcase my art. my neighbors had obnoxiously tall ugly textured walls around their lands. So i ended up putting some foliage & tree privacy screens around my land, to prevent the garden atmosphere i was creating from being disrupted by those ugly walls. never used privacy screens on any other parcels i had rented or owned before. i didn't think about making the prims invisible on the outside at the time at the time tho, will keep it in mind do it if the need ever arises again. or maybe i'll just build the sim in the sky next time? i don't own that mainland parcel anymore, sold it. i only have a liden home now, & there's no ugly walls there at least. there's a time & place for privacy screens. maybe to block out garbage in the bg from other parcels, or to help with landscaping. normally i just use the "other avatars can't see you" for actual privacy, or turn on my security orb if i'm getting too many weirdos invading my space.
  15. the body and it's addons are 30% off at this event too. i may be getting it sometime this month 👀
  16. looks like i'll have to take pics of my bellisseria home soon. 👀
  17. there's adult forums? (0.0) well learn something new everyday. i have the same problem as op tho, doesnt show up for me either
  18. i know this is a slightly old thread. but has there been any recent news on the development or release of the nux avatar?
  19. before i started paying for premium, spent anywhere from $10-100 a month depending on what i was buying. i only switched to premium bc all jobs wages are crappy where i live. i just wait until i have enough lidens to buy whatever i want, occasionally buying extra lidens when i feel like it. but all in all, i've cut my spending on sl significantly. so the op is obviously trolling. there's no way premium users spend more, unless someone pays for premium in addition to also owning estates, renting land, or buys a truck load of stuff that the liden stipend cant cover. considering premium users live in premium neighborhoods, op could restrict socializing only with the users in those areas???? but that's boring
  20. @Aquila Kytori omg thank you so much. the scale was the issue, i was just too clueless to figure it out. this is my first time porting a mesh into sl. it was something so simple that's been stumping me for so long XD
  21. so i tried separating the bangs from the rest of the hair, and sl will take it. it rezzes fine when testing local mesh and gets no errors on the upload mesh screen. for some reason the rest of the hair will rezz locally, but there's still this lod3 error when uploading. i tried setting the rotation and xyz location in blender all to 0, and setting the origin to geometry but it didnt help. so managed to get rid of the large invisible box but not the lod 3 error. i'm stumped as i'm still a novice with blender. i keep getting stuck but this issue is one i havent been able to figure out or find a solution online.
  22. not a quite fitting background. but then again my house decor doesn't really match most of my avatars
  23. it's un-rigged hair. i'm making it for a tiny bear avatar my sister plays as. and there's no dev kits for it. i thought just creating a mesh hair that was un-rigged would be easier to resize in sl. i could check to see if there's anything floating around and retry it again
  24. so i was seeing if second life would accept my low poly mesh hair I've been working on last night with the local mesh option. but some reason my mesh object is floating in a large invisible box. I'm not sure how I'd fix this in blender. i included screen shots of the mesh object and the mesh error logs.
  25. could've swore i replied to you. oops, rl has been hetic for me. I'm on discord and should probably check it out, does anatomy have a website, lm, or social media that i could find the link on?
