Ugh - problems with autohide... 

putting on my trousers will remove sections of my arms and torso...

too late to investigate further now...

maybe some changes in the alpha cuts and their link_numbers? this could mean no clothes using autohide will be usable anymore

From MLF chat: 

 [18:03]  Gryphon (Gryphon Ronas): The alpha cuts have changed on Lara X. It has to be set up for the body it's meant to fit.  If the designer used AutoHide v5 you can reconfigure it to go with LaraX

By test-drive i just mean trying on make-up related products. Nothing crazy, but I only have a lelutka head and would need to make sure it looks good on other heads or skins. Thanks guys for the help! Much appreciated! 

If you want to sell make-up for other brands besides Lelutka, you might want to keep an eye out for head give aways or sales. With Black Friday just around the corner, it's a really good time to shop. I'm not sure if any of the other brands have limited accessibility when trying their demos, for instance appliers not working on a demo or not, but it wouldn't hurt to check that possibility as well. 

I've made quite a bit of makeup through the years for the various heads I've own. I've even sold a few along the way. I can tell you from my experience that the heads have varied enough that what I made for one head brand didn't quite look right on another head brand.

I'm interested for my alt that has the body. Does anyone know yet if the shoes will fit and if it can be made curvier.. especially up top?

Gryphon has said in Discord that feet and hands have stayed the same, so shoes and hand jewelry should have no fitting issues. 

As far as curvier on top, those who know can't tell you, and those who don't know .. well they don't know! But, since there's some clothing out already, you could get a demo and play with the sliders on said demo clothing. But keep in mind that demo clothing may or may not fit properly. You just won't know for sure until the bodies are actually out.

I'm not lying, the differences are minor and if you bothered to look at how the clothes fit you'd agree.

I have, and no I do not agree. Small change can equal a huge difference. You don't have the body. You haven't even seen the body in person. You are basing your opinion on pictures, gifs, and clothing. 

There is a reason many say .. no demo .. no buyo. Putting on a piece of rigged clothing in a size made for your body does not always mean that the clothing fits well. You have no idea how well that clothing you tried fits the actual body.

1) is this body going to be an instant buy or a wait and see how it does purchase?

This question only applies to those who have never purchased a Maitreya Lara, because everyone who currently owns a Lara, or any of the add ons, will get the LaraX and corresponding add-on free (which is a full body and not an add-on any longer). No purchase necessary.

I hope people aren't expecting something very radically different because it isn't, it's just a tiny little bit different.

based on clothing, and not even knowing how well that clothing fits the LaraX, is likely fraught with possible if not likely misconceptions. I just hope people don't draw conclusions based on another's experience. That's all.

This was LaraX Petite clothes being tested with Lara 5.3/Petite 1.1 just out of curiosity.

Which is no test at all really. Why not just wait until you actually get the body to see what the differences may be.

approved for what? for old Lara? or for LaraX?

i was approved for old Lara back in 2016 and had the rigging kit since then. I didn't get any new kits. I only heard that there is new LaraX 2 days ago from a template creator (not sure she has the kit either)

website states the forms are processed within 72 hours, but it can take up to 5 business days.

Sent you a DM.

The possibly up to 2 weeks was suggested on the Discord server. I'm guessing that amount of time was suggested at one point because there was a rush with people just hearing about LaraX.

No. If some creators got the kit, it is so they have new content ready when the body is launched. Those will be big serious brands, not some clothing template seller.

The kit was made available to ALL previously approved creators over a week ago.

I have applied again a couple of days ago, still nothing yet.

It can take up to two weeks to hear back IF you are approved.

lol - I try to come up with a graceful reasoning for someone selling their nails as one off mesh nails instead of a base nail with separately purchased HUDs for the polish designs --- And y'all pick it apart!  

But granted it was a pretty huge stretch.

Ascendant sells nails and not appliers to their existing nails which is why I never purchased them.  Why they did it that way is beyond me.  

Trying to go to sleep and it occurred to me that one really good reason to do it this way is that it would make saving outfits with themed nails easier. I do kind of hate having to save an outfit with an applier and then having to make a notation of some sort to identify which option from the applier HUD to use.

I only like it if it's an informational post, such as an update on free mesh heads or new Linden Homes, and the post is relevant to both threads. Posting the same vanity photo to multiple threads is silly. 

Agree!

Do you have the time to check multiple threads? i don't. 

Nor do I.

Personally, I am mostly in favor of it, because I don't read 80% of the forums. I don't even look at the titles to see if there might be something I need to know. I avoid what I consider to be the "vanity" threads like the plague. So if there is useful information that spans multiple areas of interest, I see no reason not to cross post.

This was rigged nails, not appliers. I have bought several set of nails in that store before. I did not see that coming, that a store keep Slink and drop Maitreya.

Creators do their stuff, their business, their choice what to rig for. Not much more to say.

The rigged nails Debi uses also uses a HUD (appliers), which changes the appearance of the nails. Are you saying that you have to buy new mesh nails each time you want to change your polish at this shop? I've never seen it sold that way.

But I heard that hands and feet will not change from Lara to LaraX, so why drop Maitreya in a pack with nails... but not all the other bodies?

This has been a situation for a very long time. Granted most creators have seen the wisdom in creating nail appliers for Maitreya even though it has it's own unique UV for nails. As far as I know, all the other bodies use a standard UV with just one nail for all five nails on a hand. Maitreya is quite different in that case as each of the five nails on a hand has its own separate area of the UV map. That's why buying Omega appliers for Lara nails was always hit and miss situation.

If I keep going I'll let you know but I think this set fits in the treehouse too, maybe not all of it.

It fits very well in the treehouse. I used most but not all of the pieces. Very happy I bought the fatpack with everything. You can look up to my previous post to see the pieces inside my treehouse.

Ohhh...I love what you did with that new 8f8 package -- I almost purchased it just because the pieces are so beautiful, but am aiming for something a little more boho rustic.  (I don't know what style the 8f8 package is exactly, but to me it looks like 'fancy boho'..lol)

Anybody know of some good boho furniture places?

It is fancy boho! Boho is probably my favorite style for clothing and furnishings. By the way, the selection of textures for that set is gorgeous. Every pattern is so pretty.

I don't think you can have held down the left mouse button for long enough.  Hold it down for 10 seconds (time it if necessary) before releasing it.   If that doesn't work, drop me a message and I'll take a look, but I'm pretty sure that's the problem.

We're working on a tool to unfreeze all the house controllers remotely, but until that's ready the long-touch should fix it.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

I did contact you, but with my alt, and you fixed the issue for me. It wasn't the house controller. You fixed something else, I don't quite remember what it was though. Sorry for the confusion. You probably didn't recognize me as Blush.

[Do you make a shopping list for Black Friday sale?]

I will be shopping, the ONLY things I will be buying are clothing in LaraX and LaraXPetite sizes. I stopped buying clothing items as soon as I learned there was going to be a LaraX. So I'm super eager to get my lindens out and start replacing my wardrobe.

The only other thing that even peaks my interest is a Lelutka sale. We'll see.

I keep the pictures off because it gives me more room and I can take my numbers down faster to transfer them to a note card.

I used to take down my shape numbers to a notecard. In fact, I had done that for years. But recently, I don't remember who posted about it, but someone noted that you can save your shape to your computer and then import that shape in the edit appearance menu in Firestorm. I've not written down a single shape number since trying this.

To do it, you use the Developer menu, avatar, character tests, appearance to XML and save the shape. I typically save with a name including the day's date and anything unique about this shape from other shapes I may have saved previously. Then create a new shape, edit the new shape, and select import at the bottom of the menu using the shape I've saved previously. This is a game changer for me. I now save my shape anytime I make changes and I know I can get that shape back incase something weird happens, and my shape goes missing from the database.

I know this is available in Firestorm. I have no idea if it works in other viewers.

I guess I will hit the Maitreya store after the initial rush has died down to get the updated Petite.

My plan for Debi, as she's the one who uses the Petite, is to run by the shop today and get a link to the redelivery page and save it to my favorites, that way I can get the PetiteX without having to go to the shop after release.
