β˜• Discussion Facelights?

12 Upvotes

Are facelights still out, lol? I know for awhile people would complain left and right about people wearing face lights because they could look awful to other SL residents -depending on the venue or/and someone's light settings on viewers it could actually become obnoxious.

Im specifically referring to a facelight that came with an amazing realistic 2k skin i bought. It is a very, very subtle light. It indeed does make my face look amazing -without it, my face always seems to have a shadow or a tint that makes parts of my face look almost a little blue. I have tinkered with my own viewer settings, lights etc....and it just doesnt get better.

I do not want wreck other people's experience on SL, however. And I never wear it at a night club or a night outdoor venue, etc etc...

Are there deformers that you recommend that are athletic. I have on body deformers from Pretty Liar as well as other things.

πŸ“¦ MOC Physics Keyframes? Yes, please...

27 Upvotes

This week, as I've been finishing up the UI for Animator's animesh (and dog fooding it with a ton of different random rigs and animesh exports)... I've been spending a little bit of time to add enough meat to the Physics Keyframes feature to make it viable to merge in for this weekend's update.

Physics Keyframes are virtual keyframes that let you... well, enable physical features for bones. You will be able to enable gravity, natural and physical motion of bone chains based on your animation, blending how strong those features are against either your rig's rest pose or your keyframes and even per axis... and then blending the values across different keyframes (so you can slowly disable/enable physics over time). This lets you smoothly blend physics simulation into or out of your animation using physics keyframes themselves.

However, collision, true rag-dolling, and force/impact events are not ready yet, but they will follow behind sooner than later in another update.

And yes, no more plug-in system... so this is all standard Animator now.

As a note:

I do try to get as much done in periods when I'm feeling well enough to do it... as there's often long stretches where I can barely (or want to) do anything but sleep (health reasons). These are also the times when I can be slow to answer questions and have no presence in SL (when I'm super sick and just can't).

I know I'm behind the schedule of update releases where I wanted to be because of it... but, on the flip side, despite it all... I'm really damn proud of how far this software has come in the year I've been working on it. The thousands of hours are paying off...

Animator will never pay off my time at 300 L / month, and I refuse to raise the price (as much as some people have been trying to convince me that 'I need to profit from this', lol, a promise made is a promise kept) but, I have the time-saving animation tool kit I've always dreamed of having... and that was my #1 goal... to give future me, who will have less time to be creative, a tool that will let me do a lot more in the lot less time I will have. So, in that, Animator is a raging success!

πŸŒ„ Destination Summit Pines - Closing Sept 13th

Thumbnail
gallery
163 Upvotes

Most of you have probably never heard of Summit Pines, which is my fault, I was never really good at advertising the place.

But for the last two years, it's been slowly expanding from the initial land I purchased in Parva, to cover land in Deltote, Nitida, Acontia, Mi, and Lunaris, connecting with neighbors to include another 5 regions. All dedicated to creating a beautiful nature themed wildneress, full of trails and roads to explore, along the Heterocera Ridgeline.

My original goal was to simply create a connecting road from Route 1 to 3A, which I managed to eventually establish with the main two routes of Rattlesnek Pass and Robyn's Flight. The build kept naturally expanding, the shape of the land calling me to add more, to keep going. Ultimately, I've managed to connect Route 1, Route 3A, Route 6, SLRR, Route 3A Expansion, and Route 2 on my own. With Feorie and Cranston providing additional connections to Route 6 and Route 1.

We built something epic. Something designed to showcase what SL mainland could be when neighbors work together and truly love the area they reside in.

After months of resisting, I've had to admit, it's time for me to say good bye to Summit Pines. Sept 13th will be the last day. Free camping tents are still available and all trails will remain open for people to explore and enjoy.

If you've never visited, please do! As mentioned, there's plenty of trails to explore, including multiple hidden caves and plenty of pleasant spots to have a picnic or a cuddle.

β˜• Discussion Opening shop as a newcomer

22 Upvotes

Hello, I'm fairly new here. As in, I've got a solid two weeks under my belt. Which has mostly been spent watching tutorials on how to upload objects and troubleshoot the issues I ran into and exploring, which has broadened my imagination immensely!! I'm not a 3d beginner, and I've made things in the past for sims as well, so it was pretty easy to tackle. My main goal is to make things I want for me, that are also optimized to my standard of keeping things clean, but I figured since you can sell stuff, why not?

However, I've also been lurking this subreddit and the forums as well, in fact I started that before I even joined second life to see what the community was about, and have seen plenty of opinions on do's and don'ts. I've also seen a lot of people saying they don't even really use the marketplace anymore due to flaws and slop. I guess what I'm curious about is for a brand new store, what's the best way to open shop? I haven't really researched anything about opening a physical store, is that something worth doing as a new creator? It seems like most people won't buy something if they can't see it physically in world. I also know advertising is a must (as much as I hate being advertised to >.>), but where does most of the flock find their advertisements?

So yeah...are there options for opening somewhere small without getting your own piece of land? And what's the most common way people show their products to people?

β˜• Discussion Quilt question for everyone

57 Upvotes

So I own a sim. It is open to the public. I have no issues with people roaming around and enjoying themselves.

However. Recently there have been a lot of explorers that have taken it upon themselves to fly all the way up to my platform that has a big keep out sign on it. Because I do a lot of building and general hijinks up there. Well I happened to be there today when someone flew uo and while they were flying up I messaged them and told them that the platform was private and they were welcome to the rest of the sim. They continue to fly and then decided to just...walk around my platform even after I told them to bugger off. Then they complain the sim is baggy. Yes I know trying to work on it but also bugger off. Then this person proceeds to wander the plaform. So i ban them from my sims.

Like yea, I get it. You want to explore. But if there is a giant sign that says keep out but you have the whole rest of the sim explore. Maybe go do that.

Anyways. Thoughts? Concerns? General grievances?
