SL Project Viewer – Bakes on Mesh

0
0

Linden Lab have done something really good with this latest update, and there are a few things I want to talk about to try and answer some of the questions and concerns I have seen around the SL social sphere over the last few days.

Bakes on Mesh – what is it?

Bakes on Mesh is a project viewer currently available here: SL Project Viewer, Bakes on Mesh

The project will allow us to set our mesh bodies, hands, heads and feet to display the textures that are worn on the SL avatar’s system layers. This means skins, tattoos, underwear, clothing, and alpha layers can all be used on a mesh avatar that has been set up for Bakes on Mesh.

Siddean in TULI

The project is still in development, and I imagine it will be for a little while, but LL has surprised us with fast releases of feature updates before, so Slink is getting ready for it now.

There’s been a bit of confusion and misinformation spreading around about this project. In general people seem to be very excited about it, and those who truly understand what it means for our avatars are *really* excited about it!

Some dot points below, to hopefully answer some questions, as far as I know it!

  • System skin layers, tattoo layers, clothing layers and alpha layers all work. The mesh needs to be flagged by it’s creator, and properly setup for alpha layers to work as intended.
  • Hands and feet alone will not be possible without some changes on LL’s end. There is no way to hide the hands and feet by themselves, and make the system legs appear. The way the flagging works makes the entire lower body and upper body disappear when a flagged mesh is worn.
  • You do not need a full body alpha to wear a Bakes on Mesh flagged mesh. If the flag is present when you wear the mesh, the body section it is flagged for disappears. eg: if you have a lower body mesh, the entire SL avvie lower body will disappear when you turn on the Bakes on Mesh flag.
  • There is still a need for appliers for nailpolishes, specular maps and normal maps.
  • Multiple layers in a body mesh or head mesh are no longer necessary with a couple of cavats:
    • The old symmetrical arms and feet have come back to haunt us. That means those of us who have been offering asymmetrical tattoos for the last x years have to find a workaround that allows people to still have that function. For now, that means appliers.
    • stockings do not wrap around toes, therefore a separate stocking layer will be required – again this means appliers.
  • Heads should be the simplest thing to adapt to. We can wear 62 layers, which should be more then enough for you to wear many layers of freckles, moles, eyebrows, lipstick, tattoos, hairbases etc.
  • You organise what goes on top of what through your outfit editor, not through applier layers.
  • Alpha layers means that we no longer need to split our mesh bodies up into multiple little pieces with 8 material faces, and try to read the minds of mesh clothing creators to make a set of alpha cuts that doesn’t leave bits of bodies sticking out where they shouldn’t. The alpha is back in the hands of the clothing creator, and should be made alongside the clothing, and worn as you would wear any alpha layer. Provided the body is setup properly, this will just.. work.
  • Mesh clothing creators no longer need to mess about with auto alpha scripts! (yay)
  • Outfit creation is a lot easier
  • Changing mesh body parts is also a lot easier provided both bodies are setup for bakes on mesh. The body takes whatever you’re wearing on your system body and you’re done! No more digging around for your favourite skin and makeup appliers every time you wish to change heads.
  • You should not need a special HUD to activate this feature. This is a free update that LL are doing for us, and creators need to setup their mesh body parts to take advantage of it.
  • This should cut down a lot on extra polygons, textures that glitch and take up a bunch of system resources and script usage in mesh body parts as the parts that handle appliers and alpha cuts are all taken care of in this project.
  • In the meantime – keep your appliers, as they will continue to work on your current body parts, but you should expect to be keeping system layers for the future as well.
  • Mesh clothing creators should look into making alpha layers if they don’t already (some do, but due to differences between the system body geometry and mesh body geometry, some alterations may need to be made)
  • Skinners, makeup artists and clothing creators who make clothing for appliers should look into putting their creations onto system layers if they don’t already.
  • If a mesh head or body part doesn’t conform to the system avatar UV – that’s ok. Skinmakers who have made head textures could make a version specifically to fit that head, if necessary.

We are so, so excited about this update – we need to talk to the people at Linden Lab about a few little changes that won’t affect the end user, but could make a big impact on those of us who create these things for you, but as it is now, it’s so much fun to play with and think about and plan for! We have some great plans going forward to use this feature to it’s fullest advantage, and hopefully make the lives of our creators, and our customers (and ourselves!) very much easier.

Feel free to contact me (Siddean) if you have any questions and I’ll try to answer as much as I am able!

This year Slink is at HairFair 2019. I have not done hair in a really long time but I’ve really enjoyed getting back to my roots – no pun intended! 😀 I have tweaked my textures, added several more cool dyes and neon highlight colours, and created a fun new HUD that lets you dye your hairstyles by zone. Want black hair and bright pink bangs? It’s yours! Dark Blonde with white streaks? Go for it! Want to be a Lorikeet with pink and blue and green and yellow? My friends, you can do it! The hairstyles at Hairfair 2019 have a number of colour zones, and I have included a handy guide for each style so you can see which is which when you wear the style and change the colours.

I am also doing away with individual colour packs and fancy combinations of colours. You get every single colour with a simple single purchase of $450L, including the near endless colour combinations.

The best part? 30% of every single sale in the Slink booth at Hairfair 2019 will be donated to Wigs for Kids. You can read more about them here: Wigs for Kids

Introducing Slink Redux! Bakes on Mesh @ Slink

0
0

I am so excited to announce that we are finally able to release our huge body parts update to bring Bakes on Mesh to Slink.

We have been working on this update for well over a year now and have really been looking forward to this day when we can show you what we’ve been working on and how this update improves our products now and going forward.

Teleport to Slink for Updates!

Jacquie

Demonstrating layering of tattoos and makeup on unreleased BOM compatible Slink Visage head, Jacquie, with a beautiful 2013 skin from Glance.

First up – what the heck is Bakes on Mesh?

I have created a little FAQ for this very question which I will update as people ask questions while they are exploring the new body bits. You can read it here: Slink Bakes on Mesh and Redux FAQ

In short – Bakes on Mesh is a Linden Lab project that is designed to let us access the baked system texture worn by the default SL avatar, and send it to our mesh bodies. This means that Redux is a true system body replacement now – instead of needing to use appliers and scripts to texture your body parts it’s as simple as wearing a system layer.

Linden Lab have increased the resolution of the baked texture from 512 to 1024, and DOUBLED the number of layers we are able to wear all at once so the options are.. well unlimited.

Teleport to Slink for Updates!

I have created a tutorial video to show you through the new HUD and the new features and changes we have made to the Slink body system with this update.

Bakes on Mesh is currently available on the Official Second Life viewer, with 3rd party viewers to follow as they get their code updated.

But I hear you asking – “but what about the current body and all those appliers I have purchased or made over the last few years??” They aren’t going anywhere! The current body has been labelled “Classic” and you will find it packed along with the Redux update as a separate unpacker option. We have decided to leave a significant amount of time before we even consider removing it from the pack, to give people a chance to adjust and make the transition at their own pace. And even then, everything “Classic” will continue to work for as long as you want it to.

However having said that, we do recommend that you give Redux a try. It’s super easy to use, and there is already a ton of content that will work with it, both old and new. If you are a creator, there is no need to give your textures away! All you will need to do is turn them into system layers after you upload them, the way we used to do only a few years ago before mesh bodies were ever a thing. (It was only late 2014, for those who are curious)

Teleport to Slink for Updates!

Point of note – for those who care about reducing their avatar rendering cost – the Classic version of the Physique Original body, Dynamic Hands and Deluxe feet had an ARC of nearly 16k. Still low when you think about the fact that some mesh items run in the hundreds of thousands ARC, however, the new Redux bundle all in one attachment that includes hands and feet?  Around 3600 ARC. That’s a substantial reduction and worth upgrading for! Almost feels like wearing nothing at all!

Stupid Sexy Flanders

I mentioned above how this will improve our products going forward. Well, removing all the extraneous layers, extra sizes that will never be used, consolidating the body geometry down into 2 pieces from 27 and removing all of the alpha zone cuts significantly reduces my overhead in maintaining and updating all of that content, as well as that of my scripter as he has completely overhauled the underlying script system and streamlined it all to make it much more efficient and consistent across all body parts. This opens us both up to spending less time doing body updates and more time creating new content, which is what we both really love doing. And boy do we have plans!! First out of the gate though – Updates for Emma and Becky to both Bento and BOM, and then new heads. After that.. well it’s a secret for now 😉

Slink Iridescence Eyes – Skin Fair 2021 exclusive.

0
0

Greetings my lovely Slinkies! I have something cool for you this week. I have released for Skin Fair 2021 a set of Unisex Bakes on Mesh eyes with some pretty darn nice effects built in! Clicky the pics below for a closer look

These eyes are handpainted by me and come in (currently) 7 different varieties, with 5 shades per pack. They are high resolution system layer eyes and each set comes with a high resolution Bakes on Mesh and materials enabled multi layer mesh eye. The mesh eyes can be worn with the included system eyes, or any system eyes available in Second Life.

These eyes have a couple of very cool features aside from their highly detailed handpainted textures. They come with 7 separate “catchlight” tattoo layers that can be worn independantly of the eyes, and layered, and the mesh eyes come with an “Iridescence HUD” which allows you to change the colour and level of shine seen on the irises themselves for some very nice effects.

Here is a link to the little tutorial on YouTube which goes through all the information you need to work with these eyes.

Demos are available in the Slink Mainstore, and you can get the full product exclusively at Skin Fair until March 29th.

Back in the day Hunt – Slink & One Bad Pixel

0
0

Slink and One Bad Pixel are participating in the “Back in the Day Hunt’ stores were invited that have been around for a very long time, producing content for Second Life, and we are honored to have been invited.

The idea of the hunt is that you find the item in one store and then you are given a landmark to the next one. The hints appear on the website but you can also click the signage in the stores to get the hints directly. Each item is auto set for 2L each item.

Because One Bad Pixel and Slink are both in the same location, you can do both at once and then move on from there.

Slink has our fabulous Margot Slippers up for grabs in Slink versions as well as Cinnamon & Chai. You have a HUD to control the straps on/off in the Slink version or worn separately in the Cinnamon & Chai. All versions will fit all feet types of Slink and Cinnamon & Chai.

One Bad Pixel has the Glomesh halter out in Slink Original & Petite, Slink Hourglass & Petite and Cinnamon & Chai sizes as well as Standard Sizing.

Because both items look so great together, we made sure they matched in a beautiful Rose Gold colour.

We hope you enjoy the HUNT and if you have any questions please contact Slink Resident.
