  1. Thanks for the explanation Da5id. Is doing it this way more efficient than a tiled cotton weave in the diffuse?
  2. If the recipient has reached their limit on how many offline IMs and inventory objects (ie notecards) can be kept, it might not have gotten through to them at all. December is a ridiculously busy time for notecards and IMs too. I'm not sure what the current limits are. It used to be just 25, which can fill up quickly. So my rule of thumb is to never assume someone actually received what you sent. Always try again.
  3. i remember those days. doing Impossible in Real Life things was a big part of the appeal of our madcap world
  4. Thank you Lexxi. - someone who was helped by your attention and action
  5. Can it convey knit or woven fabrics? I've not seen either done effectively with a flat diffuse.
  6. oooo you've done well with the iridescence . that's very cool
  7. I'm seeing more and more where they're not even trying to get a hint of weave or knit in there. Not everything is best served by looking like latex. Tongue in cheekiness aside , I think there might be a bit of over-reliance on materials to save the day, more tech and less artistry. Maybe it's just what I've been happening into recently, but it feels like the bell curve has shifted position in the last year or so especially. It's been a long time since I've run into so many should-be-cottons that are just flat colours. Highlights and shadows aren't enough to mask that. I do want to see your dupioni though
  8. may i insert a wee rant about how frickin boring a lot of today's render baked textures are, especially in clothes. shadows and not much else. it's like half the grid's never seen fabric before. grrrr.
  9. Do what truly makes you happy. Some won't like it, for whatever reason of their own, like the expectations of their RL environment. Don't take it on yourself, let it remain theirs. Likewise, be careful not to project your own apprehension and fears of negative reception onto others. You can't control others' reactions, only your own response to it. So if someone gives you grief, acknowledge your discomfort with it and then find something positive to replace it with. It might take some trial and error to find the right places for yourself, but they're there. Dressing up avs is such a popular use of SL these days, you're more likely to fit in and have an easier time of socialising than someone like myself. Think of it more like that, all that you have in common. Good luck finding your circles
  10. observes a pattern of replies to everyone who posts with escalating emotion and its commonalities with a certain multi-account forum troll...
  11. There needs to be some keywords in the parcel description to describe what you're selling, otherwise Show in Search is useless. If you can, also include Gacha Resale in the title (like Marianne's Gacha Resale Shop). There are dedicated gacha yard sale areas where each person selling has their own area. The ones I've seen don't have proper shops, probably to save on LI, so it might not feel like RPing a shop but it should bring in more potential customers. Good luck.
  12. Anticholinergics mess me up so unbelievably badly. So of course they're the first meds tried for fibro. It's safer for me to live with the pain.
  13. I just happened into this inworld last night in the Bellisseria demo area and I want to live there forever. Like RL live You've made a wonderful space with it.
  14. The texture area for the zipper doesn't have to be on the same scale as the texture area for the rest of the trousers. Have you tried scaling up the zipper face on the UV in Blender? Rotate it if your free area is vertical.
  15. Since collective wisdom is piecing this together.... and this would be on Zindra, said to not allow terraforming.... the next suggestion is if you've looked at the guidelines for Mature rated land. Sometimes people buy land on Zindra when they don't have to because they want to make sure they're within the guidelines. I think most adult activities are allowed on Mature land as long as they're behind closed doors and not advertised. Which isn't to say that you should move, just adding some information should you decide to relocate.
  16. One day in my first couple of years here, I was following along on an educational event a friend had put together about African-American history, including the slave trade. Standing there in a replica of a slave ship, with the shackles and the knowing, the idea of playing at slavery like the Goreans did became, not this curious thing other people did, but completely abhorrent to me. It had a history, it was real, it was done to real people, it horrendously, hideously, unconscionably abused people, real people, generations of real people. And here were other people playing pretend at it to get their jollies. If BDSM is your thing, please use another model for control, one without such an abhorrent, abusive and hateful history behind it.
  17. @Kirsten Linden can we PLEASE have a hug button?
  18. The script which goes inside the helper object changes prim parameters of the helper object (blank texture, pink colour). If you put that script directly into the chair, it would change the chair parameters where it could, ie the texture. The helper object itself shouldn't change the chair texture. Try using a rezzed prim as your seat to experiment with until you get the hang of it.
  19. adding my hugs and sympathy and whatever else you need Cindy x
  20. My apologies for not being explicitly clear in why I said what I did. I edited it a few times trying to find the right words and right way to put it and failed. Again, my apologies. I'm in no way suggesting you ignore it or allow her to invade any aspect of your life. Absolutely protect yourself and do what you need to towards that. I phrased it as a question because I don't know the history between you and I didn't want to make assumptions about it. I think I know who you're talking about though, and her patterns are obvious. I had hoped that by offering some perspective from a distance it might help you to gain emotional distance from it as well. Please be careful about letting her play you emotionally. Please take care of yourself that way as well.
  21. off topic but quick question not necessarily worth a separate thread - Is there a way to export poses out of Black Dragon and into Blender? Sometimes I make hand-held mesh things which need custom poses or animations. If I could pose with the object in Black Dragon and get the data into Blender somehow, it would cut done the amount of trial and erroring needed. This seems a lot to ask, so I'm expecting a no, but it would be so very helpful.
  22. Is she really angry with you or is she just pretending to be as a pretense to get you upset and paying attention to her?
  23. It's like the cat purposefully sitting with its back to you to make sure you know you're being ignored. Apparently a human does it too.
  24. sounds like a few of us have people taking their issues out on us
  25. Since I'm not the one who hurt you, dear stranger on the internet, taking your anger and your pain out on me can only ever be a temporary reprieve, and a way of staying locked in the anger and the pain you hold so dear. Could it be that this is your goal? vent over, because i'm far too ill and exhausted to deal with the backlash of saying this to her
