Blush Bravin

What is she wearing HUD works great for scanning one person at a time, but lately I've started using the Firestorm Area Search to scan the whole crowd. Use the filters to set to scan for attachments and you get a wealth of information in a couple of seconds time.

I've seen lots of good suggestions here. I'm surprised no one has mentioned Tres Blah, with a large selection that goes from sophisticated to cute to sexy. You can find her in many events as well as her main store. One of my favorite shops to watch for when C88 comes around.

I own the Belleza bodies but don't use them, so take that into account with my suggestions: 1. Be sure the clothing you're wearing was made for Belleza Freya specifically. 2. There are different options for the boobs .. don't use the perky .. or try the different options to see if it will work with your clothing.

Most of the "tan lines" for sale actually add white to the area where your bathing suit would be. They don't make your skin darker. You're going to loose a lot of the details in your skin if you try to make your skin darker with a tattoo layer unless you're are only wanting to make the skin very slightly darker. If that's the case, then grab the SLUV ( http://www.vengeancestudio.com/sl/chip-templates/ )and use PS to make a tattoo leaving the bathing suit area without any color.

If you're referring to the skinner I think you are, all those classic skins were made years ago and still used 512x512 textures. Perhaps they are in the process of updating their line in preparation for BoM.

I remember now where I first heard the idea of the universal avatar. It was in the Sansar Discord channel. Here is a blog post Ryan Schultz wrote based on that conversation. https://ryanschultz.com/2017/11/28/the-idea-of-the-universal-avatar/

I'd rather see a resale filter than a Gatcha filter. I see no purpose in singling out gacha over any other no copy item being sold by someone other than the creator of the product. The significance is that the buyer will know there is risk in purchasing when the seller has no ability to provide customer service. I love shopping the MP for gacha items. I don't play the machines. I'll gladly do the wading!

This is not a new idea. It was brought up in another post either here in the SL forums or in Sansar. It's a neat idea; however, we're just not there technologically yet. And should we ever get there, Sansar would be the platform to do it not SL.

I really like the calm version of the Vista Esther, but I also removed probably 4 or 5 of the stands that annoyed me. I've yet to find any AO that doesn't need animations removed and/or added to create the perfect AO. So I think your quest is achievable but it will take some effort on your part to find the animations you like and swap them out in the AO you're currently using.

We are not an employees. We have businesses in a community. In a community in RL businesses pay taxes. They pay rent for store space. They have what is called overhead. Economies change in RL .. they have to deal with inflation, market trends and so forth. It's called business. And running a successful business isn't easy.

After twenty years online, probably the biggest lesson I've learned is that oftentimes what you mean and how something is taken using the written word can be very misinterpreted. We can't see one's body language or hear the tone in their voice. So what I read and what you were actually saying could be different. I'm not going to go back and find all the instances where I read comments that sounded like, "if you make this change I'm going to pack up my toys and leave" comments. First because this thread is much too long, second I don't like calling out people by name in a public forum (I think it's uncivil), and third it's quite possible that what I read is not what they meant. The ONLY reason I posted in this thread in the first place was I was so dismayed with all the name calling and pointing fingers and downright rudeness. We should be able to be on completely opposite sides of the argument and still be respectful of each other.

What I mean by that is if they put these new fees into effect you will have to adjust your business model. I'm not suggesting you change what you do. If you love creating then of course that's what you're going to do. If you love the land market then do that. It's our choice. The same as it's Linden Labs choice to do what they believe will further the success of Second Life. When my grandfather had to change his plan, he decided to open a restaurant. He made a change but not a radical one. He was still serving customers a product. The product changed because it's what he wanted to do. Personally I believe commerce will benefit by lower land costs. I think it might attract new people to Second Life so hopefully my customer base will grow. I might have to raise my prices some to cover the cost of the fees if they become too high. I'll have to wait and see how it goes. I don't buy Lindens but if I was one of those who do, I'd certainly make larger purchases rather than small ones. That's the kind of changes I'm talking about. It's just rethinking how to do things to get the same result you had before the changes occurred.

My momma always told me, "If the shoe fits, wear it!" This goes here if you're not one of those who have indicated that they will leave if the fees go through then don't assume I'm pointing at you. But there have been a few cases where those indications were made. Do I think someone shouldn't say they will look elsewhere. No! We all have choices to make and plans to execute. Have I said you shouldn't voice your opinion to Linden Lab? Again, no I have not. What I objected to was the name calling and being uncivil to one another. Do I think you'll get very far once voicing your objection to the fees? No, I don't think you will. And I have the right to my opinion. I've not once said you have no right to voice your concerns. In fact, in my first post in this thread I said quite the opposite and I quote, "All that said, everyone, and I mean EVERYONE should be able to voice their concern or disapproval without being accused of feeling entitled or of trolling. Can't we be adult here and stop the name calling?"

That fee* was never implemented. They talked about it but after listening to us and taking into consideration what we had to say at a product meeting the idea was dropped, and to this date it has never been resurrected. You left too soon Rya. I've made a nice tidy little income over in Sansar for absolutely zero investment short of my time creating, which I consider time very well spent because I have learned so much from just being in Sansar and collaborating with the many talented creators there. I'm not sure how many (like you) left since the store has steadily grown through the months. I guess this just kind of shows that if you pull out someone will take your place. But, as I said earlier, Linden Lab is going to do what is best for Linden Lab. Does that mean they will listen to their customers? Well of course they will. Does it mean they will bow down under pressure, not necessarily. We hire their service to further our goals to run our business. We decide our business model. If their service fits your plan, great, if not, then I guess you can try and see if there's something else out there that will work better for you. I sincerely doubt there is. Do I think loosing some of the creator base in SL will bring an end to SL? Absolutely not. Does Linden Lab want to see any creators leave SL, again absolutely not, but they can't please everyone all the time. It's impossible. So doing what's best for Linden Lab may not always be what's best for every mom and pop business in SL. Back in the old days my grandfather has a very successful business on the main highway running right through town. When traffic was diverted around town rather than through it with the new interstate his business died. Was the new interstate the best thing for his business? Nope, but it was the best thing for the town. The town flourished as a result of the new commerce. My grandfather decided to get out of the liquor business and opened a BBQ joint on the new interstate. He adapted. He flourished. But it took a change in plans. He had to find a new vision. I agree these are trying times as Linden Lab tries to equalize the economy and take it from being a land based economy to a sales tax economy. I believe I will benefit more by getting on board and adapting rather than trying to fight the change. *It wasn't a marketplace fee actually. It was proposed that to have more than 100 items in the store you would need to have the basic creator subscription, which is $10 a month. That fee includes additional experiences and support options. It was then decided that the number of store items would not be tied to a subscription package and that it would be unlimited for free accounts.

My opinion is clearly stated at the beginning of my post. Read the first two paragraphs carefully and you will see it. And yes, I am a merchant and also very much a shopper, and I own mainland. I am heavily invested in SL both monetarily and with my time. I am also invested in Sansar.

I am giving my opinion. As I ended my post with saying that EVERYONE should be able to voice their concern or disapproval without being accused of feeling entitled or of trolling. You are trying to make my post personal. It was not. There was more than one person with that same opinion. I am not name calling or making it personal. I have an opinion. I stated it. Please stop making everything personal.

If you're going to quote me please do so in context.

Linden Lab is going to do what is best for Linden Lab, as well they should. It is a business and the bottom line is always the dollar. What is best for Linden Lab may or may not be what is best for your current business model. You will need to adapt or perish. It's as simple as that. If you think threatening to leave because you don't like Linden Lab's restructuring plans for their business model is going to impact their decision, you are fooling yourself. If you leave there will be others to take your place in a heartbeat. All that said, everyone, and I mean EVERYONE should be able to voice their concern or disapproval without being accused of feeling entitled or of trolling. Can't we be adult here and stop the name calling?

I got the credit the first day of the sale and saw the five day expiration message in local chat. Perhaps those who didn't see the message didn't realize it was there due to lag issues. Having to right click a vendor to get the menu to access all the features has been in wide use for years. I'm not sure how you missed that. E2V vendors have used that method as long as I can remember. Though I understand that what seems common to me isn't necessarily to others.

I'm making a sign in big bold letters with this on it and hanging it in my office. Hopefully if I read it once or twice a day I will stop speculating.

I had heard this but I can't find any official comment on this. Was this discussed in a content creators' meeting? If yes, which one? I'd like to find the video of the meeting and watch it. I'm trying to stay up to date on the project. Thanks in advance for your response.

My issue isn't trying to safeguard any texture from being ripped. I know there is no way to stop that. My issue is having UUID numbers readily available through the developer menu for anyone to grab and use in any manner they choose regardless of the permissions set on the texture to make the clothing layers. My hope is that UUID numbers will be removed from the character to HML report. Several blogs wrote about how to use the report to find UUID numbers when the Omega system was first implemented. It didn't take long before people were sharing those UUID numbers with their friends and friends of friends and so forth.

Yes, you can use masking but unfortunately there's just no way that a tattoo or stockings look good in mask mode so it's pretty useless for layering tattoos and stockings. As well as the fact, that while you might see your layers not glitching it's likely that those around you are still seeing the glitch. So BoM .. get here already!

I totally agree. I love wearing tattoos and sheer stockings but that's nearly impossible with the alpha glitching that happens now. Being able to use custom alphas once again is a huge boon and will allow mesh bodies to become one mesh instead of being broken up into dozens of smaller pieces to accommodate alpha cuts. I'm looking forward to the return of more interesting necklines since creators won't have to create around predetermined alpha cuts. I use a bento mesh head and even though it has extra makeup layers I still never have enough options for makeup so that is another aspect that I'm really excited about. I don't see anyway around having at least one onion skin layer after BoM is implemented to use for clothing and applier stockings. I know we have mesh stockings now, but for sheer stockings I still prefer applier 95% of the time over mesh. No matter how well mesh stockings are made there are some shoes that simply won't work with mesh stockings. And though most of us tend to wear mesh clothing 24/7 there are still times when applier clothing is the best choice for layering.

Oh, that is my work but that was many years ago when I wasn't using a vendor system. I haven't made any system clothes or flexi skirts in many many years. I'm sorry Bitsy but classic clothing just doesn't sell anymore. It's even super hard to sell applier clothing unless it's in the form of stockings or undies. Time has moved on and we've had to adjust.
