Bear av - hair, and human hair, and other stuff I've been doing  Yesterday I started putting hair on my bear av while doing that. It feels like I'm adding normals to the individual meshes that make up the parts of the bear. Normals look like little directional vector thingies that come off of the vertices on a mesh. In wire-frame they do look like that lol.  The hairs aren't each an individual hair that would be pretty laggy and there is no way a linkset could have that many, sl limits the amount to prims to 250. Instead I'm using tufts of hair. Still, on a foot I went up to exactly 250 prims yesterday, on account of going overboard and putting hair around and under the claws too.  Adriane got this neat freebie later that day, it's a polar bear that sits on your back and is pretty ace ;u I looked at it and realized it had all the same sort of parts that my larger black bear av had that I was putting hair on. I went and got one and luckily it was mod ;o So I grouped all the parts in the way that would fit the bear av's ao and took those to inventory and stretched and rotated them to fit it better on the av joints. It seems like the gal who made the bear projected its baked textures onto the full completed model, so there's dark areas visible if the joints move. It's kinda like I got a new bear av though ;o  I'm using the same technique that I'm using to add hair to my black bear to make short hair for a human av. First I used my old Ayden av to test the idea. I kind of like the name Ayden better than Helios and may start using him more instead. With this method the hair doesn't look like play-dough and is very short from all angles.  On Helios my scalp wasn't dark enough on the skin I like to use. I used the new viewer to make a translucent head tattoo that made my scalp shaded darker. After many many uploads lol.. I got it to look right. What's cool about the new clothing layers is you don't have to use the sl2 viewer to see them, they are baked onto the avs skin texture that everyone sees anyway.  So the new alpha layer is visible to everyone too. What's not cool is the alpha is all or nothing. You can't make a half visible transparency, it's either fully visible or not. For one of my characters I wanted to make them look like a ghost that way. I thought of a possible solution other than using prims for body parts lol, make every other pixel solid and the other next to it transparent. Like a really dense checker-board. From a distance it would look translucent like a fine mesh. It didn't work. The pixels are way to big when rendered on the avs surface and at a distance they just merge together.  What is cool though is say you have a really tiny av that uses a invisiprim to hide the scrunched up body inside. Now you can just make an alpha layer that makes the standard sl av mesh not render at all. No more invisiprims :D And because of that cast shadows will now work correctly with avs that needed to use invisiprims. Forward to Friend | Comments (2) I can't believe it
It's FINALLY here, my new computerrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! Forward to Friend | Comments (7) Privacy concerns with Viewer 2.0 In short, any Shared Media prim has the potential to get all sorts of information about you - IP Address, Operating System & version, language (gives a good idea of country), Client & version, all sorts. Possible exploits are linking alts to mains, griefing, stalking, RL harassment, phishing, malware and viruses. The JIRA entry and the subsequent comments have a lot more information. And this blog is also worth reading. I'm kind of surprised how few people seem bothered by this. Forward to Friend | Comments (4) L$10k Paparazzi Photos Contest by Oi Magazine ! Forward to Friend | Comments (0) Spring, 1 k shoes and custom eyebrows My bevvie mate was wearing these new shoes, and I said wow I like the detail on those.. But(argmuffins), my other m8 went to get demos and they are like 1 k per colour. I am good for it but it makes more sense to me to get a skin. I've been meaning to get a skin that is full on pale. Maybe I'll get both idk. I like my skins but I have one where I like the lips but I don't like the eyebrows, they seem too light and idk just odd looking in the eyebrow department. So in the new viewer I made a face tattoo that overlaps darker eyebrows onto the underlying skin. But now I need eye-shadow too. Thing is I'm not very practised with skins so I think I'll get one of those free full perm 'open source' skins again and use the eye-shadow from there. If you haven't sampled face tattoos in the new viewer they are pretty wicked to say the least. If you dl a face template you know where to draw things and it's quite easy to muck around with really.

A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and a four-year old grandson. The old man's hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered. The family ate together nightly at the dinner table. But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and failing sight made eating rather difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass often milk spilled on the tablecloth. The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess. "We must do something about grandfather," said the son. I've had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor. So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner. There, grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner at the dinner table. Since grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl. Sometimes when the family glanced in grandfather's direction, he had a tear in his eye as he ate alone. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food. The four-year-old watched it all in silence. One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, "What are you making?" Just as sweetly, the boy responded, "Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and mama to eat your food from when I grow up." The four-year-old smiled and went back to work. The words so struck the parents that they were speechless. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done. That evening the husband took grandfather's hand and gently led him back to the family table. For the remainder of his days he ate every meal with the family. And for some reason, neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled. Children are remarkably perceptive. Their eyes ever observe, their ears ever listen, and their minds ever process the messages they absorb. If they see us patiently provide a happy home atmosphere for family members, they will imitate that attitude for the rest of their lives. The wise parent realizes that every day that building blocks are being laid for the child's future. Let us all be wise builders and role models. Take care of yourself, ... and those you love, ... today, and everyday!

les contesto hoy a las peticiones de buscar logos y wallpapers sobre el tema de ORGULLO AZTECA en todas su variantes. Creo que encontré muchos que les gustarán, he tenido que descartar varios, aunque me encantaron, por no herir la sensibilidad del "gran hermano".... por desgracia, pues son los mas lindos. Pero aún así quedan bastantes que iré subiendo y dejando de a dos en mis shops de SL por 10L cada uno, o sea, lo que cuesta subirlos, todo sea por la raza : ) Lo que si me niego es subir la imagen de Lupìta con la bandera yanqui al lado, eso que se la suba quien quiera, yo no lo haré. Por lo demás encontré mas música cuyos enlaces ya les he enviado y tambien links para los mejores blogs al respecto. Esta muy bien eso de que somos los mejores del mundo, pero les ruego no decirlo a menudo , no vaya a ser que los demás entristezcan de envidia por no ser mexicanitos jajajajajaja. En serio, llevenlo con calma, no provoquen ni se dejen provocar. Tambien he tenido mis problemas con americanos racistas, pero hay que conservar la calma y la dignidad. Son ellos los que que no saben. De forma,que,chamaquitos, a pasarla bien y no hacerles caso. El futuro de todas formas es nuestro. Por favor, no quiero problemas, no siempre podré ayudarles. Hagan uso razonable pues de estos wallpapers, no provoquen, pero tengan siempre la cabeza muy alta, con la certeza de que estamos unidos y el tiempo trabaja solito a favor nuestro.
