I might have to make a new IBTL image for this thread.. My other ones are kind of out dated..

I don't think that's happening because of the game grand theft auto. hehehe

Thank you

I have no idea what it was on or what's really going on.. I thought maybe it was in the comments on a blog or something.. I think I'm just gonna go work on my avatar now.. hehehe

A Troll?

I think whatever is going on, we shouldn't be putting peoples names in the thread.. That's gonna get things locked quicker than anything.. Things won't end well..

I guess I must have missed whatever kicked this whole thing off.. This passed year, I'm always the last to know what's going on.

That or someone bumps into you.. I can't count the amount of times that happened at one place I like taking pictures.. The owner ended up giving me rez rights, which was nice.. they can bump their hearts out now.. hehehe

I have to correct something that I got wrong the other day.. hehehe I guess the morph hud does have animation. I was looking for the animation hud they usually have in the folder.. But they fooled me and put it in the same hud as the settings hud.. Like the 4th button down.. If it was a snake it would have bitten me.. hehehe I'm not gonna push that button though.. Because it just looks like a play button.. I don't know if something is gonna start playing, or if animation options are gonna pop out.. hehehe Either way, I just needed to correct myself..

I made a thread on it when it came out.. They really need to sticky things some times.. I think there was a blog post about it from LL and then like usual, left up to the rest of us to get the word out..

I should have said last mesh version updates. But I missed.

You're only as old as your last mesh updates!! \o/

Because they think we want to be onlyfan stars.. hehehe

You might see if you can get a dev kit for the Senra avatars from LL.. Those are mesh bodies and might be able to make your 10 outfits for those bodies for a reference.

Since the lifespan of most games these day's is around 3 to 5 years before they have a part two released.. I'd say nowadays it's probably around the 6 year mark.. Seriously though, I'd say, when people start to tell you, Wow you've been in SL for a long time!

I usually help the New Users looking for help and try my best to help them with what they are wanting help with. Many want a nice looking avatar at first, So I help them with that and make sure they have a good grasp of how things work.. As well anything else they needing help with.. It's a pretty case by case thing really. Most end up on my friends list by the time they are ready to fly, in case they have any questions.. Then once contact fades away I'll take them off my list since it's a good sign they are off doing their own thing pretty much for good.

I got the thigh ones for reborn a little while back. I was gonna see if they had more things at the time, but I think Lara X came out and distracted me from finishing looking.. hehehe Your pictures look really good..

I blame phones and it becoming the norm that kids have phones!! \o/

That looks like a smooth transition.

Prima was one of the bodies that went this direction, But they messed up with their release and really didn't get the word out, let alone really didn't have creators set up ahead of time.. Let alone, they released on the same day that Gen X did and had their booth in the corner of one of the smaller events.. I remember circling that even like three times before I found it.. It was a nice looking body, but right out of the gate just no real support and bad PR.. I think that was Tonic's New and improved mesh bodies.. They had a few versions that came out. Like a curvy and classic or something like that and maybe a slim? I got it because if you had a tonic body before that, you could get a discount on the new ones.. The funny thing was, I didn't even know I had a tonic body before that.. hehehe

If it's a newer skin, it more than likely has a built in neck blend or comes with one.. If not, then I believe also that velour has a free neckblender pack at their store as well which has Evox versions in it.. Also there is Izzie's that has them as well.. They are most times always mod, so you can adjust the tone on them as well.. The pack I have from Velour, which is free, is called - VELOUR HOMME: EROS BODY EARS & NECK BLENDS

Make sure the head skin is above the body skin.. If it's an older head skins and doesn't come with a build in blend.. Then you would need an evo x Neck blender.. that should fix then neck seam problem.. If you use a neck blender, make sure it sits over the top of the body and the head.. I would put on the body skin first, the head skin next and then neck blender, if there isn't a built in neck blend in the head skin.

With many head skins nowadays coming with a built in neck blend to the body, as well as also there being neck blenders themselves.. You have much more range with blending a body skin brand you like with a different brand head skins.. That and if the skins are mod, fine tuning the tone to get just the right tone you are looking for.. I do this with my ITgirls queen line skins all the time.. I'll choose the skin tone that is as close to what I want for my look but just a little lighter in tone.. Then I'll right click my skin in my inventory and choose edit. If I just want to darken the tone a little, I'll just adjust the slider on the side..That or I'll use the "Color Under Cursor"(Firestorm feature) from the Firestorm Quick Preferences Icon. and scroll the skin and test out lighter and darker spots.. If I want to add a touch more of say red or blue or green or whatever.. just bounce around the color pallet and toy with the slider on the side until something feels good.. For me it's hard to find good rich juicy tones in many of the darker toned skins.. So I end up playing with the reds a lot.. Then just save it as the brand and then usually my initials on the end of it so I know it's one of my edits..

I got the mega pack at the skin fair as well.. The Morph doesn't come with an animation hud.. You can use any of the other genus heads animations huds. If Morph was someones first genus head, they could get the strong003 gift head and get the animation hud from there as well.. The Genus heads have been notorious for the eye rolling with their animation huds.. I thought the newer huds would have fixed the problem but it was still there after the updates.. I was messing with them one day trying to figure out what was causing it.. From what I remember, there was really only one basic mood that did not cause eye rolling for me.. That was Basic mood B.. The rest of the basic moods looked like they had a hard time looping.. You get what looks like a hard stuck blink after the animation does it's first loop and then the eye rolling will starts. I'm wondering if the animations themselves have a blink or if choosing certain moods use a mood animation and one of the blink animations.. The expressions work fine but those don't loop.. The emotional moods there are some that will eye roll as well, which all of those have or use blinks also.. I looked at their blinks and some of the blinks do stick.. So I'm thinking when the blink loops and the moods loop, some of them are having some sort of conflict where things start to go haywire.. They aren't really the best animations.. I always just used Basic mood B or just used one of the blinks.. Still not the best, but those that seemed to be the one that works the best out of all of them. But also have my own animation hud that I got from Dutchie, that I can put facial animations in and use when I feel like using facial animations.. It's a blue drop down, which I don't mind. it works for me and I won't get any eye rolling, even with the genus blinks going at the same time.. I do remember back in beta we were hounding for animations and blinks all over the place.. That's how I ended up making my own hud.. So maybe they felt rushed a little to get something out there for us.. I don't know.. I do know we were glad to have them back then though when that animation hud was added.. hehehe

I'm wondering if it is that someone gifted them a head and body and maybe also RLV involved , or they gave permission to an experience or something? Or did they let someone into their account? This definitely sounds really interesting and has my curiosity piqued..
