This image was inspired by a chance meeting with the sim designer of the snow covered Japanese village, "Yuki No Yume" .. A Dream of Snow. He said his favorite part of the sim was the dancing cranes, and he wished for an image of people dancing with the cranes.  So this is for you, Jac Mornington. Thanks for the cool sim to visit!

One Hell of a Butler

(click to enlarge)

There is something suspicious about that butler... I wonder what it is?

Ayashi released the new non-rigged mesh hair for men, Sebastian, I knew I had to try and see what I could come up with for a demon butler. The hair comes with X,Y, Z resize script for the perfect fit, and a color set hud. Ayashi has a new store at RMK Gothic! You can find it in the Dark Town section of the sim. Adding an elegant, yet studious, feel is the Angela Glasses by AIR.  You can touch it and change the frame color and the gem stones. The off the shoulder rigged coat is by DIRAM. An alpha hides your arms, and has two fake hands attached to the upper thigh. It comes with a color hud to change the skintone, but I went with a white glove look. The coat in many different colors, I choose a nice English tweed. The vest, shirt, collar and tie are included. The pocketwatch is mesh by House of Rain and has detail of tiny skulls and garnet. The pants are from the Smith suit set by Fatewear. The gloves in the close up are also by Fatewear and include materials that photographed here beautifully. Skin Noctis by Tableau Vivant you can find at the Boystown location. These awesome red eyes are by Aii. I swapped the shirt under the vest with SF Designs' because it had the tuxedo style I was looking for, and also, it's the best free tux in SL, imho. My favorite shiny shiny dress shoes are by PixelFashion. The candelabra I got the October Collabor88, but you can find it at the main store now. Touch the candle to change the color cream, teal, mead, black magic, royal, or brandy. Flames are particles. And my lastly, my current gothic abode is the Ivy Tower by Poetica.

NEWS: Making Mesh Garments Fit Better

Big announcement today on what Linden Labs will do for better fitted clothing. Project Deformer is now officially dead, collision bones method is the winner (this is the "liquid mesh" method). The experimental project viewer includes extra collision bones.

Making Mesh Garments Fit Better

by  Linden Lab ‎11-20-2013 09:36 AM - edited ‎11-20-2013 10:31 AM

Today, we are launching an experimental Project Fitted Mesh Viewer with additional collision bones needed to support dynamically fitted mesh garments on all of the avatars. When these changes have been finalized, they will enable garment designers to use the superior capabilities of mesh content creation tools to make garments that adapt to a wide range of Second Life avatars.

Since the introduction of Mesh to Second Life, creators have faced challenges fitting Mesh garments to the Second Life avatar. Because mesh objects are not resizable in as many ways as the avatar itself is, it has been difficult for mesh garment creators to provide garments that adapt to the shape of the avatar in the way that the image-based clothing layers do. While many creators have made heroic efforts to provide products in a range of sizes, and some have collaborated to define a set of standard sizes that work reasonably well for much of the user population, many have found that mesh garments just don't work well enough for their avatars. Mesh garments also don't move with the body parts affected by avatar physics.

Users have developed two approaches to address these problems:

• Rigging garments to the "collision bones" of the avatar skeleton (often marketed as "Liquid Mesh"). This works in current Viewers for some body parts, but there are some avatar shape parameters that do not have corresponding collision bones, so garments do not adapt to fit everywhere on the body.
• The "Mesh Deformer" project added code to the Viewer to dynamically compute how to modify each garment shape by looking at how the vertices of the avatar were changed from that of the female and male base shapes.

The Linden Lab development team has studied both approaches, and compared their effectiveness, maintainability, and performance. Neither approach completely eliminates the occasional need for an alpha clothing layer to prevent small parts of the avatar skin from appearing through garments, but both work quite well at resizing garments so that they fit the avatar and move naturally with it. While the collision bones method requires the creator to do some additional rigging, we have decided that because it leverages more of the existing avatar shape system it is likely to be the more maintainable solution and to perform better for a wider range of users.

We have posted documentation on the wiki describing the full set of collision bones, including the newly added ones. We invite creators to begin experimenting with creating garments rigged to this new skeleton.

At this time, the new skeleton should be considered provisional and subject to change; we do not yet recommend selling or buying garments rigged to it. Since we may find reasons to improve it during this testing process, and any change to the collision bones will likely break garments rigged before the change, we want to make sure that we have a set of bones that we can all live with into the indefinite future before it is widely used.

Creators and other users who participate in testing can provide feedback by filing Jira issues in the Fitted Mesh project.

RMK Gothic: Renewal Gifts 2

(click to enlarge)

All kinds of people are coming down to RMK Gothic, even my brother! I caught him snooping around the Undertakers. He let me play with his Nu'ville loot (the blood bag and Bunnicula), and I showed him where the RMK renewal gifts were like AIR's Rabbit Monocle, and the Frozen Night rigged mesh black collar. Hey, that's what brothers are for.  ^^

Now let me tell you more about items I am wearing. The Retro Military coast by Kauna is a must have and you can tint it whatever color you want. Like all of Remarkable Oblivion's creations, the Necromancer Crown is another fantastic item to own. It's like a little piece art sitting on your head. The Blood Bank Bag is actually rigged mesh you wear and carry with you. There is cool sippy straw from the bag to your mouth. Love it. For photo purposes, it's shown without the walk animation and straw. All vampires need to tour Nu'ville. You can get candy like blood pops, cute Beetlebones avis like bat, mummy, ghoul, angel, and fun shoulder pets like Bunnicula. He squeaks and wiggles his ears when you touch him.

Helping me with the blog since the beginning is Fulli. As I look at this picture above I am struck with a realization that she looks very much like her mother here. Her mom was a professional model in her younger days, and now Fulli is a virtual model.  This skin by Glam Affair reminds her of her mother's look. Fulli's shape is her own creation and based on herself. Adding the elegant ladylike style of Ambrosia and you get a look that seems to have really gone back to her roots.

The Seduction of Snow White, part 4

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: The Prince was now armed with a method to hide to his tainted skin. At first he attacked people who were beautiful, but nothing happened. Then he remembered what the witch said, "You who possess no inner beauty, must now seek it from others." He fumed at that evil witch! It was much harder to find a victim, he had to actually talk to people to find out if they had "inner beauty." As he got closer to his true target, he was so desperate, he even sunk his fangs into a disgusting looking old lady, but this time worked! His beauty was restored. Now Snow White would be his!

Many goodies here from the current round of We <3 Role Play. I am wearing the first offering by Senzafine for men, and like all their clothing, it's richly textured. The Branch mask is by new comer to WLRP, Chimeric Fashions, and it fits on the face really nice. Gloves are by Ascent from the last round of Fantasy Gacha. The shoulder fluff is by Aii.

The Seduction of Snow White, part 3

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: Generations upon generations of geisha perfected the art of beauty just as the men perfected the martial arts. Among them rose a legend, a geisha 87 years old, who looked as fresh as the morning dew. It had been to her Prince Ravenna traveled to learn the secret. Contrary to Geisha Tsuyu's claims, she did not really have a miracle skin moisturizer. The trickster was using black magic. When Snow White came into being, Prince Ravenna suspected the old witch was behind it. In a rage, he journeyed to her once more. He grabbed her by the throat and demanded she undo the damage to his beautiful skin. She claimed to be innocent. Her magic only brought to the surface the beauty that was inside. How could she have known what rotten a person he really was? He called her a liar. She was no more inwardly beautiful than he was, conning women into buying her useless cosmetics. She was so outraged, she cursed him again.

At the center of this image is this really nice dining set by Okami on sale at We <3 Role Pay. It comes with 4 seats, and multiple animations for men and women. I'm playing the wicked witch and wearing the new hair Kodji by Ayashi which worked great here for a youkai kind of vibe. Kodji is rigged mesh for both male and female.

The Seduction of Snow White, part 2

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: How dare the simpleton mother use black magic to make her spawn Snow White rival his good looks? Prince Ravenna's beauty was natural! He only used black magic to preserve his appearance. Why? Because when his looks began to fade, he didn't know how to survive. He always got along based on looks alone, and he absolutely could not tolerate the humiliation of others dotting on beauties much younger then him. So he made a deal with a wicked witch. The price he paid for his vanity was the curse's tale-tell hue of envy.

Oh yes I did! I made the Evil Queen a guy! Mawahahahhaha! It was fun project to reinvent Ravenna as an evil bishie. lol. The amazing crown and collar are by Gspot on sale at Enchantment. You can get in gold, black, or creme. The corset I am wearing is fully rigged for men! Dont walk, RUN go scoop up the awesomeness at Schadenfreude. The underlaying outfit is a combination of the gorgeous Vlad from Utopia and richly detailed Raider by Quality Designs. The Curio Obscura gacha coat is one I often pull out for my pompous villains. This beautiful skin is by Tableau Vivant and you can still find it for sale at the Boytown location. The hair, also by Tableau Vivant, is Beaumont and I love this cool Monsoon color of cyan and black. The Jaded eyes by Poetic Colors paired with this skin are amazing. The tintable chest tattoo is included in the Barerose set Light Dergie. The picture is taken on location at Enchantment. Love the castle and it's circling ravens.

STORYLINE: There once was a beautiful young woman named Snow White with skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood, and hair as black as ebony. She was not married yet. No matter how wealthy her suitor was, or how sparkling his personality, he was just not a good enough match in her mother's eyes. Afterall, her mother had paid a heavy price to wish her daughter's beauty into existence, she certainly didn't want unattractive grandbabies.

Two great events going on right now for Role Players: Enchantment, and the November round of We <3 Role Play. The picture above is shows the gorgeous Junbug dress at enchantment.

Digital Dopplegangers

This week's Strawberry Singh / Winter Jefferson SL Blogger meme is "Avatar Look Alikes Challenge." Of course I had to try this! I grabbed my headshot from the RMK Gothic SIM English blog, and plugged it into the Celebrity Look A like Generator.

The results were jarring.

First I should say, my main avatar is not an attempt at a likeness of a real person, nor was it at any time. (I actually had a manga character in mind.) However there is something definitely something spooky going on here.

I experimented in Photoshop with a split face screen. I showed my results to Fulli. I asked her if I should do this meme. When she picked herself back up off the floor, she said yes. It's very interesting. lol
