Does anyone have tips to make speculars better affect faces for crystals? I'm not looking for depth or to use PBR, I'm looking to make light faces realistically as possible, without relying on diffuse maps with lighting baked onto them. I've seen most people use baked lighting for stunning results with jewelry, but the necklace I'm working on has a large, cartoony gem, and I feel the baked lighting pushes the cartoon feel too far lol. I have seen items make full faces light up in Second Life, instead of the directionless, soft light the generated AO map is giving me. Figuring out how to do it is another thing! First picture shows what diffuse map with lighting baked onto looks like, second picture shows what it looks like with the generated AO map at around Glossiness 100, third picture is the generated AO map for the second picture. The first picture is ideally what the speculars would act like.

I'm looking for bottoms which don't cover the tummy for Juicy Rolls. Ideally skirts below the knee, but anything is fine! 🎆

What Shape values constitute as Small, Medium, Tall for animations?
atyid replied to atyid's topic in Animation Forum
This doesn't affect what I'm aiming for, but thank you! Yeah, the numbers the animation sellers list are what I'm after. Thank you so much, this is what I was looking for ;_; Heels slipped my mind, for what I'm making it'd be relevant, I really appreciate you bringing up stuff that is considered a problem of the past! -
I'm looking for a guideline for which height values will be regarded as different sizes for sits! I don't mind how rough it is, I'm looking for a place to start, and to see if there's any consensus before I give anything a try.

If they're separate objects, they'll be 3 attachments to an avatar, and the objects are 0.0004 apart at most, switching between them with clicking isn't really an option. Merging them all together in blender was a good enough fix, thank you for your input though!

Thank you so much, I wouldn't have thought to merge them in Blender... ðŸ˜

I recommend you start with something easy to rig, like hairpins, nails, rings, anything which won't use multiple bones, or unrigged accessories or trinkets. The Second Life beta grid is made to test your products. If you don't feel confident in it you can ask friends to beta test or hire testers. Legacy is an easy body to get a dev kit for. They will give you the dev kit for Mesh Body Classic first, to make a piece for and upload to Marketplace, and then give you the dev kit for their new Legacy body. Utilizator has free dev kits, if you're happy to make items for furries August Heads and Apricot Paws have free dev kits. Anime and furry communities don't have super strict rules, you get the dev kit when you purchase the product, some you don't need to buy anything. With dev kits you can do rigging without Avastar. Here's a super basic guide. I recommend you don't transfer weights and go into Object Data Properties > select the bone you want to rig to > Weight Paint. Doing it by hand has better results. Good luck, feel free to contact me if you want any help!

I have a set of nails with different mesh layers to make changing texture details easier. Each mesh has a different material+name in Blender, it doesn't matter if they're uploaded together, or separately and joined in-game, I can't switch between faces in the Build window. It will select one face and act like the rest don't exist. Is there a minimum distance to make separate faces work? Is there anything I should do differently?

I'm looking for AOs made with petticoats (or wide hips) in mind. Preferably AOs covering all bases, but standalone walks, runs, sits, and poses would be appreciated too!

Looking for shops with lolita, decora, or fairy kei fashion

I completely agree, I know Second Life is often where people dress how they wouldn't in real life, but I want to dress up like a doll lol. This thread has brought heaps of stores I didn't know onto my radar, it's great there are active EGL creators, even if they're difficult to find without help. Thank you, I'll give it a try! I spent like a hour making Maitreya fit a Legacy dress (Bearcat.egg makes such phenomenal pieces and I caved), it should be way easier to alpha bodies to fit system based dresses. It's a shame so many old stores are closed now. The blog posts for so many of the stores you listed have gorgeous pieces. Thank you so much! -
I see what you mean, most people focus on larger houses, it's a shame, I like tiny ones. Thank you, I went with La Maisonette D'Aurora! MG Creation's buildings are gorgeous, I love BéBé Cottage. When I get enough money I think I'll be buying it lol. Thank you so much! Thank you so much! I've bought a house and added grass and climbing plants to the roof, it's a little tedious but worth it. Heima has some gorgeous houses. Sadly their store is no longer in-world unless the creator hasn't updated their info. The Teapot Fairy House is such a cute house though, I wish they made more. Thank you so much!

Some are old but here are a few lamps with interesting designs. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Stained-Glass-Ceiling-Lamp/15799662 https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Ceiling-Lamp-Tiffany/373787 https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/COZI-Mission-Ceiling-FanLight-2-UPDATE/3180729 https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/FROG-Art-nouveau-ceiling-lamp-001/17326886 https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Dahlia-William-Lamp-Gold/19303156 https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Ceiling-Light-Deluxe/2862198 Have you tried filtering out words in Marketplace search? I found these with this search, the chandeliers category is pretty. If you get a modifiable lamp you might be able to alpha out any long cords.

I'm looking for houses with a fantasy, mermaid, or country cottage look, with little to no modern or tudor elements. I would prefer smaller houses, my land is 512 sqm but resizing is fine! Anything is a go if it has turf roofs, round windows, window seats, seashells and gems, curved and unorthodox roofs, vines, stained glass, buildings in trees, interesting speculars and glow, or if you think it's pretty lol. Attached img are houses with elements I'd love to see in Second Life. If you have a house (or furniture!) but it doesn't look like any pics please post it anyway! Sources: 1 2 3 4 5 6

Looking for shops with lolita, decora, or fairy kei fashion
atyid replied to atyid's topic in Your Avatar
I gave up on SoKawaiiSundays, but I should really keep tabs on it again, there were some adorable items in the Seraphim post. These are some great picks, thank you so much! These are absolutely wonderful, thank you! I knew Marketplace was lacking listings omg. Thank you so much! I noticed the huge focus on nanchette, I just can't get into it 😠It's great to see brands like Bare Rose going for exaggerated looks, I was hoping for a store like that! -
I've been looking through Marketplace but haven't had too much luck beyond Bearcat.egg and Violent Seduction. Decora isn't used often as a keyword, fairy kei brings up nothing, and lolita has some unfortunate results LOL. I'm hoping for some clothes fit for Maitreya or eBody but any body is fine!

Hi! I want to make a toucher with different animations, depending if your avatar is sitting or standing. Everything I search leads to scripting sits for furniture. Where should I be looking?

Looking for a black/ginger tortoiseshell cat with no to minimal white. Static, animesh, accessory, anything is ok! Modifiable cats with UV maps offered are good too. I want to get my friend a cat like hers in real life but tortoiseshells are super neglected. No matter what keywords I use I can't find any.
-
I was hoping to do that, it's a shame it isn't possible. MP tells me there's no version folder when I use subfolders. I figured the reason why unpackers are used but MP has been really buggy for me lol. I'll try using no unpackers with MP again!
-
I want to make an unpacker with pre-unpacked folders in it. The one way I know how to accomplish want I want is individual unpackers for each folder, but it's not ideal and way more work than I want for customers. Any advice is super appreciated!

Thank you so much to everyone who suggested stores too! My friend is really happy to have so many great stores with Black hair to look through.

It was CAMO! Thank you so much, we really appreciate it.

Sadly that's not the store, but my friend really likes this hair! Thank you for linking it.
-
Thank you for looking, it's not either hair sadly.
-
Sadly it's not but thank you! My friend says the store made hair exclusively for Black people, and the hair was mesh. Hopefully this helps narrow it down a little.
