Nice.  I'm a member of that group, though I haven't added anything in about a month now.

Oh you should! As long as it isn't a vanity shot, is linked to the Slurl, and um, no boobies either! 

I joke, kind of. We get SO many people submitting photos that clearly are against group rules.  Trying hard to weed out the riff raff LOL

I don't know if I've mentioned this.

I'm currently administrating for Strawberry Singh's flickr group "Explore Second Life (SLurl in Description).

Would love to have you all submit pix of your virtual wanderings.

Is it just me or has SL been extraordinarily screwed up this week?

Horsing around at Charmed One at Banana Bay.  Uncluttered beach surround the sim which is great for horse back riding. Right now you can rez objects but don't know if that will last.

Whoops - yes: August 23, 2007.    I was looking at your "registration" date of when you signed up for the SL Forums.

Now that's a date I never would know!

Here's a very different look for me. Group gift from New Faces. First time they've done darker tones and it's really lovely.

Well, if you are anything like me, it could be like RL - the older I get, the less I notice my birthdays.

THIS.

Yes.

[Belleza Body Troubles]

Thanks all. I turned off the neck fix and it looks a lot better now. Not perfect, but better.

just from a guy

i have the Jake, and for me it works best with the neck fix disabled / hidden when using a Catwa head.

and of course optimal skin windlight settings.

Interesting. I'll try disabling it and see if it works. Thanks for the tip!

[Belleza Body Troubles]

Last night I upgraded one of my alts. She already had a Belleza body from years ago so I just went and got an update. I haven't used Belleza in eons, Elora has the body also but I preferred the Maitreya for her.  I also purchased the new Spencer Bento Mesh head for her by Lelutka, which I like a lot. Kind of elfin, cherubic looking which matches my alts style.

Anyway, I'm finding that Belleza isn't as seamless as I hoped for which is maybe why I decided not to use it. I can not get the neck fix to work no matter how I try. I'm currently using the Freya shape. Body is set at zero fat, I have the correct appliers being used for the body and head (currently one of the new Glam Affair appliers, America tone).  I've changed Windlight to other settings. Played around with preferences and various camera settings. I still see the sheath sticking up from the neck no matter what I do. It isn't like I don't know how to use all of these components but is there something I'm missing?

BTW, the same thing happens with my male alt who now is wearing the male Belleza body.

Also, if I turn my graphics up past "high" the body looks really wonky and ugly.  I never have this with Lara.

Is this problem endemic to Belleza? Am I destined to wear clothing which cover the neck area? 

Help, tips, comments appreciated!

[Dog pets, not human pets.]

I really like Jian's pets. The ones that wander and attach as a companion are extremely well detailed and the movements are smooth. It's easy to find them on the marketplace or you can go to the store and play their machines and take a chance on getting what you want. Wide assortment of dogs available. I particularly like the Jack Russel Terriers.  They also have some cats and other animals.

I used to have breedables of various types but really disliked having to spend more money to keep them alive.  It was fun for a while but unless you come inworld regularly (which I stopped doing) winding up with a very sick or dying pet is likely.

Fantastic pic, Elora! If you can get to Paris IRL, do so. It's my favourite city in the world. I've been there several times, and I just adore it.

Thank you so much!

Skell, I will surely ask you questions! Ghosty and I haven't been on a long vacation in years and we are way overdue.

Paris is his first pick - he's never been to anywhere in Europe yet so I'm happy to let him make that choice.  I haven't been to France yet and there's a ton of things we both want to see!

[CATWA vs Lelutka]

I tested all of them also and had exactly the same impression as @Elora Lunasea. What's more, I didn't really like any of them, neither with Lelutka's shapes, nor with my own. But I saw that [west end] released limited edition of a new shape for Bianca. I'm going to try it. 

I used my own tweaked shape for all except one.  

Bianca is the lower right. My husband said he liked that one best, probably because it's older looking, as is Simone. Not enough of a difference to switch over to it.

I preferred Greer which is the lower left.  I think it would work well for other types of uses than everyday - it's more delicate in appearance. I'm going to need to try them all again with other makeup aside from the Glam Affair which comes with them.  On the fence since I love my Simone head so much but I can see if someone else was starting off from scratch that having other options is a good thing.  More the better. 

[CATWA vs Lelutka]

Testing all new Lelutka heads. I'm too lazy to notate which is which but, I was surprised that the one I was most drawn (Bianca) to wasn't the one I prefer most once I had them on.

If anyone is dying to know, I'll get back to you here later. 

I do like all of them and will most likely, get another Lelutka head to add to the rest.

Meh.  We have enough Sansar threads already.  It ain't gonna be SL 2.  Never was.

 

And they are named!  Much better than Mood 1, Mood 2, Mood 3 and Mood 4.

Those unnamed facial expressions made me nuts. 

I can't wait to get home and upgrade my Simone head. Looking forward to the improvements.
