Messing around...

-


Been messing a bit with my avatar.

Well, it was the moment of the year for it in fact.

Received a number of updates, so why not tweak a bit then with everything.

I am in fact a very basic standard market avatar, Catwa head, Maitreya body. OK, I have added the V - Bento from Session to it, and that is it. Hair and so are paraphranelia that get easily changed, so I don't consider them as body parts.

Now I was using as skin a LAQ (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/LAQ/154/67/23) one, and was rather pleased with it. But now I notices that the main activity of Sessions are skins, so I decided to give it a try and check their skin set out.

And I was stunned by the result.

They do take another approach. In fact they have one skin, in a number of tones, so up to this very simple. Their skin is developped specific for BoM (Bakes on Mesh https://community.secondlife.com/knowledgebase/english/bakes-on-mesh-r1512/), but instead of creating a number of skins with different details, they went another way.

Their approach is one skin, multiple possible human tones, and then using the tattoo layer of the standard avatar (not the mesh layers) add certain details to it. 

So if you want a nice six-pack, just wear the tattoo for it, or freckles, well there is a tattoo for it.

Next to that, they split the body in the skin from the head, and created skins specific for the major head types, like CatWa, Lelutka, and so on.

And the effect is there. Just wearing the skins, and letting BoM get to work, resulted in a nice detailed skin on me, with the specific details I wanted, and of course a good blend of the skin on their V - Bento genitals by the BoM.

OK, I know that the Sessions skin can be a tad high in prioce, but they are word it. So visit their shop, and have a go for it. It is more than worth it.

Head: CatWa Kathy

Body: Maitreya Lara

Setting up a gallery (part 2)...

But then I also wanted to give my visitors some help while they were there, and I hate to use these hover texts. So I decided to use a nifty tool I could find on Marketplace, Furware Text https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/FURWARE-text/141379 for the awseome price of 0 L$, so yes a freebie. But this allowed me to build in-world text display on prims, which I could easy adapt and modify in text. And with that I made myself: A list which displays the pictures / models I currently show; Assign them a color tag; Place next to each picture a colored square to link them to the list; And put some help texts around the gallery without annoying hover texts; OK, it does require some basic scripting to make it work, but this is rather easy and straight-forward. Anyway, if you would need any help, or texts made for you, just contact me.

Hey, Welcome to my first post on my blog. Well, everything needs a start, so does this blog also. Anyway, I will try to be not like the others (I hope) and just post or even do a copy/post of already existing information on other places. No, the goal is that I achieve to publish as personal as possible on it. So what will you find here ? Well, probably some ideas by me which popped up when I was trying to mess in my photographs as an amateur and I achieved something decent (in my opinion, so it doesn't mean in yours :) ) Otherwise, nice places you can visit, or clubs that I like. But as always, it will be my personal view and opinions. And it is up to you to come back and read them.
