  1. Not what I had in mind. It is this tutorial you mean? http://ayumicassini.blogspot.com/2009/07/ultimate-guide-to-prim-twisting.html This 5 panel have 5 different faces. And when placeing a picture on, it will not have the small openings. I could edit a picture, and place it on a transparent background, but it will not look 3D.
  2. If the shape makers didn't use huge hands, ears and feet in the demos, how many do you think would pay for the body? No one. They would just use the free demo. If you are so annoyed, it is a solution that work for you. You can get demos of Slink hands and feet, and just wear the alpha mask. Same with ears. Use a free ear eraser like this: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/AITUI-Ear-Eraser-Free-v20-2014-Update/2030091 You will not see the big body parts anymore, and can concentrate on how the the face and body looks. Without high blood pressure.
  3. I am not looking for a custom builder, but I wonder if there is not already made a frame like this with full permissions. What is so good with this one, when it is lots of cheap 5 panel frames? I don't have to slice up an image in 5 and apply it on 5 frames, as all the other frames in this style that I have tried. It is one face. I can not use this one since it is no transfer.
  4. For a skybox basement, I recommend trying out the free version of Mystitool. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/MystiTool-HUD-Making-your-second-life-easier/136332 I have both the free and the paid for version, since I wanted to support the creator. But the free has the same platform. Rez the platform as described, go up in the sky and remove the chairs. The platform has a nice stone underside and is only 1 LI. It is square/rectangular, but if you texture the railing with a stone wall texture, it looks like a garden with a brick wall. Platform 1 Li, railing 1 Li. Of course you can use any texture, like a picket fence or hedge. Or you can remove the railing and place out 3D mesh fences, but that increases the Li. The square/rectangular shape can be softened with plants. The platform comes in suggested sizes, but you can stretch and shrink it for your needs. Another creator is Anna Er0tica (replace 0 with o). https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Anna-Erotica-Landscaped-Texture-Changing-Skybox-Platform/7936287 I don't like all her textures and plants, but it is a nice base and it is mod..... That's what matter. And Schultz Bros. I love their Soho Loft, and it is 14 or 19 Li. (small and large version) It has a brick outside and a huge window. Only thing that annoys me is that the shadow of the window on the floor looks wrong with SL shadows. One shadow from the sun and another shadow baked in the texture. Well, I textured the floor with another wood floor and it works so well. This box is phantom with inner cube(s) that keep you from going through the floor and walls, something that makes texturing a bit challenging, I had to fly, and turn on transparent and lift the transparent box so I can texture floor and walls, then edit it down. The Schultz Bros Roosevelt skybox is 2 versions, the one with an exterior has more Li, but is still 36 Li, that is only 9 more Li from the one without exterior details. And more skyboxes, as low as 9 Li but I don't think that one has a door out. I don't have any problems with skyboxes. I wonder if the ones that fall through the floor has grabbed an invisible floor or wall and accidentally deleted it? I have seen walkable mesh became mesh that you fall through after extreme resizing up and down
  5. I always thought "don't name" only applied for negative talk. Look at the Avatar section, it is xxxx number threads asking "what is the best mesh body, what type of head do you have, what is your favorite stores". And the moderators let it stand. I can't log in now, and I have so much on my mind that I perhaps forget it. So I am taking the risk of replying here: Onsu. Their newest skybox is over 80 prims, but their second and third newest 40 - 45 LI. They fill almost all your criteria. They have a nice exterior, they have with and without surround, they have very much detail for the LI. I am a sucker for actual rooms, not just the one-room skyboxes. They are under 2000 L, They even have a 512 size textures and a 1024 size, floor options as darker and lighter, plus some more. Surround options if the customer should want it. And after can you remove the scripts. Even if you can't texture and color absolutely all walls individually, many walls allow it, I could color the foyer without coloring the livingroom walls for example. It is nice. I can try to look closer and see if the door out can be unlinked and added a open/close. I like apartment skyboxes. I don't remember if they have rez boxes, but I think not.
  6. Coming late to the thread. Is it allowed to have a signature with a slurl?
  7. I saw some had built on a platform so they were the same height as the wall/road. It didn't tempt me much. Unless I built some space or futuristic home. I like to build something that looks right and a floating house should look like it has the ability to float. It is nice to live next to a road so people can say hi. You travel the wall as any other road, with cars, bikes or walking?
  8. It's no problem that it's buildings on it. At least not for me. It is practical, since the size in m length and width isn't easy to see. I clicked the mouse on the parcel, got the name, found it on the MP and saw how big it was. 29 m x 32 m. I can compare it with my houses and see the fit. I can eyeball the garden furniture and pool also. Faster than wearing an attached prim and stretch it, standing still in the middle of the plot and trying to fit it in the parcel boundaries to see what I can have there.
  9. I have the same nervousness on my male alts. They don't go to clubs without me, I would not know how to talk. If it ding dings in an IM when I shop with them, I just reply short. They does the job as contributors to the land group and work splended as models. Always ready when needed. I log them in as dancing partners when I want to go to a club, but don't want to talk.
  10. I was actually in Heterocera last night! I noticed many dots, and it has a nice cobblestone road too. The "wall" is terrible. Does anyone travel it? It ws some cheap land to the side of it, but no... living in its shadow is not worth it. Even if it was 4000 L for 2048 m. I found the railroad, how does it work? Do I need my own train?
  11. I assume Zindra is #1, but I know prices are too high, and I don't need adult land. Maybe Nautilus has a high population, but I want a continent where the main transportation is not sailing. I want a place by the road if possible. West Sansara, Bay City, is too expensive. I seem to remember someone said Jeogeot, but I can't recall when or who said it. Is the Wiki updated and correct? I don't know if it is correct when it says population med-low. And that is so generic. I like a place where I am not the only green dot. I am in CET, but does the time zone matter? So many people log into SL early or late for them, no matter where they live.
  12. You have so many cool suggestions, I am in awe. I never heard about SL golf. You should have your own blog. 🏌️‍♂️
  13. Since the thread is already derailed.......... I jump in and derail further with an Aeros question. Do they still have that cogwheel HUD? One of my mAlts has an Aeros just to look "right" and that HUD is not userfriendly, at least not when the user need glasses and have a small screen. It was too ornamental and hard to read. I don't even bother to get an update of it, if the HUD is the same.
  14. I watched a video, but i misplaced my headset and could not have it in full sound. So I got just parts of it. Are you paid in L, or do you collect points for fun?
  15. Wear this? https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/HHVET-Victoriana-Stop-Camming-Wearable-Block/6202755
  16. How about Instagram, is it a SL community there? I need to delete pictures from Flickr, they reduce the numbers for the free accounts.
  17. TY for your reply. Isn't it weird that I can log him in? I thought logins was stopped a day or so after payment was due. I just logged him in and has logged him in all the time since he was premium. And all my avatars use the same email and the same PayPal. No one has any trouble logging in. I checked my email and I got no messages from PayPal about insufficient funds on my Visa.. I kept an eye on the balance and always had a buffer. I got no Second Life emails about billing issues, and I receive other emails from them, like Premium gifts. Oh yes I sent a ticket. I have a 22,50 USD receipt from PayPal to Linden Research on Nov. 12 and that should fit with Quarterly and his next payment Feb. 14? My other alt with Quarterly is not due before March 11. I have his receipt from PayPal in December. I have only 2 with Quarterly payment. And I always buy 10 000 L if I need to buy some. That does not fit with 22,50 USD. It is probably some mistake from LL.
  18. It is both, and I sold land in the same region, app 1100 m for 10 000. I had to pay tier the month when I bought a too big parcel, but I divided it so I could cover it with my small army of alts. I think I will try 2048 as Blush say over here. I am a bit sad and down now, so I will look up when the Premium payments is due for all my alts. And set all the parts for sale, not stay on a smaller part because I will not see others move in there. The first monthly alt is due for another month of premium the first days of January, but I can't cope with the dividing and sale so fast. I am moping. And I think it will be unrealistic to sell land in 3 days now, when so many people is busy with their family in RL. I wonder if I should move off Heterocera. Buy the ugliest land possible.
  19. Yes, if they set it to auction, there are bid sniping programs, I don't think it's made in SL but as I understand, it is for any internet bidding auction. I watched the clock tick down and my name changed from the highest bid to the other person in the same second as it ended. I know it because they contacted me, the name of the highest bid is visible and I could see who won too. So they could see me and snap it up. 1120 is rare so if you ask for a parcel to be divided, why not ask for 1120. It's the same work for LL. I try to remember, I think it took more than a week, maybe 2. I got no notice about it, I saw the color of the plot had changed to purple on the Firestorm map. No, but I only took part in one auction. That was enough, so I can't tell if this is common or that it was obvious that I was eager to get it.
  20. But I am used to spending money is SL, so that monthly stipend x 2 will be used for shopping. Does anyone know what's the most popular land size?
  21. I have an alt who is premium with Quarterly payment of 22,50. I logged him in just a month ago. I never had problems with logging in. Payment goes via PayPal. I never received any messages from PayPal about issues with my debit card. I went to his Account to see when next billing date is because I want to end premium. The site says: My other alts have their billing via PayPal too. No problems there. One of the alts is monthly and her payment went smooth the 12.02.2018.
  22. I have myself and one alt on annual, that runs out in March. The other 4 is a mix of monthly and quarterly, I must log them in to see. I start by removing the monthly ones from Premium. But I will sell the land now, I will not stay there on a downsized plot. It will be sad. I want to make as most I can from the sales, obviously, so I can buy some cheap ass land and save the rest, since I should not buy more L if my income is 66% of today. Something that will kick in in August, probably. I am cutting unnecessary costs to save money in RL. I need to spend them on my family and reduce money spent on SL. If I can remove the quarterly from Premium, maybe I can get a refund but I am not sure if LL allow it.
  23. I got bad news about my job just before Christmas. I am not unemployed, but I must plan for the future since it is uncertain, and that mean pulling my alts from Premium and keep only myself and maybe 1 alt Premium. I can slice my land up and sell, but what is the most sought after land sizes? Will I benefit financially from dividing a 6752m in 2 or 3 or maybe 6 parts? The odd number is because I have six alts that donate to group. Is land sizes for groups in demand, or is it just stupid to divide the land and include the group bonus? Like 1126 instead of 1024? Or should I just set land to 1024 or 2048 and some small parcels like 204 there so a group can buy both? The land is good, between protected road and protected water with direct access to a large mainland sea.
