New Shapes: Matt and Timothy

2012-01-13T00:22:00.000-05:00

Just released, two new shapes from "Rising Male": "Matt" and "Timothy".

As with all shapes from Rising Male, these are hyper-masculine: very tall, muscled, rugged and masculine shapes. They are fully modifyable, so you can tweak them to suit your own personal tastes. Demos are available in the store as well.

I hope you enjoy them!

MENStuff Hunt Gift

2011-11-08T18:33:00.000-05:00

The MENStuff hunt is nearly on us once again! And this year, again, Animations Rising is participating. The gift this time, pictured below, is a "wet / sweaty" tattoo layer.

The layer comes with a few opacity variations, so you can make it more or less noticeable.

MENStuff runs from 11 November, 11:00AM SLT, through to 25 December.

New Shape: "Greg"

2011-10-30T21:28:00.002-04:00

New from Rising Male: "Greg". Tall, built, slim powerful hips, and a very masculine handsome face.

As always, the shape is copy/mod, so you can tweak it as you like. A styling card is included listing the source of the (few) things shown worn.

Available in-world, or on the SL Market Place.

New: Gaius II and Gaia

2011-10-26T01:40:00.001-04:00

New today from Animations Rising, a matching pair of outfits, based on the popular MenStuff hunt gift, Gaius.

The design is similar to Gaius, but this time, the entire thing is made with superbly crafted sculpts. Furthermore, the leaves have texture change, and each part can be resized for a better fit.

Available now from Animations Rising.

Rising Male: "Manuel"

2011-10-17T01:05:00.002-04:00

New from Rising Male, "Manuel". This shape is a little shorter than the others I have done so far - not much, just a bit. Like the others, he is powerfully built, very broad shoulders, narrow hips - slim hips hint at powerful thrusts [wink] - and a bubble butt.

As always the shape is fully modifyable so you can tweak it as much as you like. It comes with a styling card listing extras worn. Also included free, Miro's Ass: butt physics for men. Demo available.

New Shape: Billy

2011-10-08T23:50:00.001-04:00

New from Rising Male (Animations Rising) comes "Billy", another hyper-masculine shape. Billy is a bit of a surfer type dressed like that, but change his hair and clothes and he can be a powerful warrior.

As with all shapes from Rising Male, Billy is Copy/Mod, so you can tweak as you wish.

Available in-world at Animations Rising, or on the SL Marketplace.

2011-09-07T04:39:00.000-04:00

Two new shapes from Rising Male: "Carl" and "Jason". Available now in-world, and on the SL Marketplace.

Rising Male - "Marc"

2011-08-29T22:02:00.002-04:00

New from Rising Male, a new hyper-masculine shape: "Marc".

Tall, broad shoulders, very slim hips, this shape has a butch, square face with a pronounced brow.

As all other shapes, this one is copy/mod, so you can tweak as you wish.

TIP: You may want to increase the "package size"; it is set low so that it will work well with prim clothing.

"Marc" comes with a notecard listing all additional parts used in the picture above: skin, hair, etc.

Wishing you a great week!

Rising Silks: Fundosh 2

2011-08-19T19:57:00.001-04:00

Another new items with a thrust-up pouch.

This is much like the original Fundoshi except for the front pouch. As usual, this item features texture change and low lag resizer, and is full copy/mod.

New Products

2011-08-19T01:55:00.000-04:00

New from Rising Male come Dirk, another hyper-masculine shape. Very tall, broad shoulders, very narrow hips. As with all other shapes from Rising Male, Dirk is copy/mod, so you can tweak if you wish. A styling card is included. Demo available at the store, or on the marketplace.

Also released today, a new item from Rising Silks: Thrust. This is a belted loin with a difference: your dick is lifted up and out, thrusting forward, making a very noticeable bulge. As with other silks, Thrust has scripted texture change and a low-lag resizer. It is also copy/mod so you can adjust the fit better.

Note that Rising Silks work well with Rising Shapes. The silks are made for a very masculine man with a small waist and firm muscular ass.Btw, many items from Animations Rising are also available on the marketplace - but not all. Be sure to visit the in-world store for the full range of products.There is also a group on Flickr where you can submit photos of yourself wearing any product from Animations Rising. Flaunt yourself!

Rising Male - New Shapes

2011-08-14T16:07:00.000-04:00

Two new hyper-masculine shapes released today - and they have all been moved to a better spot in the store.

Here is the limo to Rising Male.

Rising Male - Hyper-Masculine Shapes

2011-08-11T16:30:00.001-04:00

A new product range from Animations Rising - Rising Male

There is already a large number of stores making excellent shapes for men - so why yet another? Well, it connects with my personal approach to Second Life. Many strive for realism, but I figure, we can fly, we can live in floating homes, we don't even have to be human - we can be dragons, or cats, or even glasses of milk (yes really!) - so why should human shapes be realistic?

Rising Male, therefore, is a line of "hyper-masculine" shapes. They are inspired by erotic art, rather than real life. The overall shape is very tall, with broad shoulders and narrow hips. The body is as muscular as SL allows (for anything beyond this, you will need to look into prim muscle avatars, such as those made by IceWolf Karlfeldt). The features are decidedly masculine.

Note that shapes are all YES modify - YES copy - NO transfer.
This means you can tweak them any way you like. But please do keep a copy of the original, should you wish to revert to it.
Also, since they are copyable, I cannot issue refunds. In case of non-delivery, you can use one of the several redelivery terminals in the store, or drop me a notecard with the relevant transaction number and product info.

Included with each shape is a custom made bald/eyebrow base. This base was made specifically for the shape it comes with, in that certain facial hair options can affect the shape of the face.

Also included is a free copy of "Miro's Ass", an avatar physics layer for the butt.

Available at this temporary location. Free demos available.

Miro's Ass

2011-08-10T16:23:00.001-04:00

Want to grab my ass - for free? Then run down to the new store and look for it. It is "hidden in plain view".

This item is a physics layer, and as such, requires a viewer capable of supporting it. These include SL Viewer 2, Phoenix (version 1102 or later) and Firestorm - among others. If you are unsure whether your viewer support avatar physics, consult the viewer documentation or in-world support group.

PLEASE NOTE: Avatar physics is very sensitive to your own client side lag. If your FPS is low, it may not show well or at all.Also, for others to be able to see the effect, they too need a viewer capable of handling avatar physics.

This item is YES copy - YES modify - NO transfer.

For information on how to edit this physics layer, and what all the numbers mean, please see:
- Phoenix: http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/doku.php?id=phoenix_avatar_physics
- Firestorm: http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/doku.php?id=firestorm_avatar_physics

I hope you get much fun out of this. :-)

Animations Rising

New Store!

2011-08-09T01:20:00.001-04:00

OK, the store is open again - smaller than before, but it works, I think. You can get there by click this link.

Still much to do - like reboxing ALL products to replace the landmark. Ugh. Still, bit by bit, I'll get there.

An Update on Animations Rising

2011-08-08T01:40:00.000-04:00

Some may have already noticed that Animations Rising region became inaccessible on Saturday. I have had to scramble to find a new location and set up everything again.

I am happy to report that as of this writing, I have a parcel and am about to start setting up a new store, and then all the vendors. If all goes well, I should be ready to reopen within a week.

Meantime, I am asking all those who are members of the in-world group to migrate to the new group I created last night:
secondlife:///app/group/87b3bf2c-8fe5-ab88-1786-99f8de6da308/about

The existing group has been closed to new members.

Thanks to everyone for their patience during this time.

The Restrained Male: New Collars and Cuffs

2011-05-14T00:31:00.000-04:00

Today we released a few more collars and cuffs in The Restrained Male line.

We have a simple, masculine contemporary design in a choker. When locked, the choker closes and a leash ring appears.

Then a set of shackles, for prison scenes or medieval role play or Gor.

And finally, a set inspired by the "Gaius" outfit which was given away as a free hunt gift some time ago. In fact, "Gaius" is included free with this collar/cuffs set.

These are in addition to the first set, which was released along with the bondage equipment, the Living Light collar/cuffs.

All of these use the Tokon slave system from Xcite. For more information, see the Tokon website;the Tokon slave HUD may be purchased at Xcite.

These are all available at Animations Rising - The Restrained Male.

New Product Line: The Restrained Male

2011-05-05T20:25:00.000-04:00

New from Animations Rising, a product line called "The Restrained Male" - bondage and display units specifically made for male avatars (though they could work well for women).

They come in 4 styles: ancient, rustic, classic and futuristic. with several designs in each. All units are RLV enabled (with capture on click and stripping), and feature Xcite arousal for submissives. The chains are Tokon, OpenCollar and Lockmeister compatible.

The images below show samples of the new range. You can find them in the new building on the hill at Animations Rising: The Restrained Male.

You can see the manual on-line here.

Also released, a Tokon-compatible collar/cuffs set made for Living Light. This set works with your existing Living Light outfit - or stand-alone, if you prefer. It too may be found in "The Restrained Male" building at Animations Rising.

Living Light - Online Manual

2011-04-25T16:46:00.002-04:00

I just created a page with the basic manual for Living Light outfits ... here (or see the side bar).

New from Living Light

2011-03-28T18:43:00.000-04:00

Coming soon, for Fantasy Faire, 4 new Living Light outfits: The Cardinals. And for the first time, 2 of them are for women.

Look for them at Fantasy Faire and at our store. Proceeds from sales will be going to Relay for Life.

Pacific Crisis Fundraiser

2011-03-13T16:08:00.001-04:00

There will be a fundraiser to help Japanese relief efforts, from March 15th through April 10th. Animations Rising will be donating all proceeds from sales of "Dominance" towards this. The vendor is inside the entranceway of the main store.

Menswear Fashion Week begins soon as well, and "Dominance" will be available there too; again, all sales of this item go to the Pacific Crisis Fundraiser.

Menstuff Hunt

2011-01-30T15:57:00.000-05:00

The MenStuff Hunt began last night; Animations Rising is participating. Our gift for this hunt is a Special Edition of the "Magnificat" silk for men, in white.

Living Light - "Dominance"

2011-01-27T16:47:00.003-05:00

Finally, a counterpart to "Submission".

This outfit draws attention to the erogenous zones of a man's body, above all, to his groin (of course). It is about raw, brute sexuality, power, mastery.

The intent in designing this line of clothing was to draw attention to, and to enhance, the male body, and to do so with light. Swirling light moving around the body, enfolding it, yet revealing much of it. And the whole becoming a sort of living light sculpture.

IMPORTANT This outfit makes use of the new multi-attach system which was introduced by SL Viewer 2. Several other viewers support it, most notably Phoenix Viewer. This system allows more than one attachment to be worn on the same part. If the viewer you use does not support this, then you may need to reattach one part of the outfit to another body part, if you wish to wear the entire outfit as supplied.

NOTE: the outfits are NO mod / YES copy / NO transfer. As a result, no refunds can be issued under any circumstances. If you had a delivery failure, please contact Miro Collas and include the relevant extract from your transaction log - a new copy can be given to you.

Unlike the earlier outfits in this series, this outfit is made almost entirely of sculpted prims. This allowed for more versatility in design.

Also, "Dominance" was intended to be worn with the genitals exposed. However, given that some situations might call for more "modesty", a codpiece has been included as well.

This new outfit is available now at Living Light - Animations Rising.

Note: The fantasy skins in the top 5 pictures are from Fallen Gods; the 2 human skins below are from Tellaq. Hair is from Axiom.

Magnificat

2010-12-22T19:52:00.000-05:00

Just in time for christmas, we are happy to release "Magnificat".

"Magnificat" is a silk that combines the design of a fantasy male silk with Living Light features.

All aspects of "Magnificat" can be customized, from the size, to textures for the metals and cloth, and of course the "living light" can be varied too: color, speed, intensity. All this is done via an HUD. Each part may be changed independently, or you can make changes on the whole outfit in one go.

"Magnificat" consists of several separate parts: pelvis, chest, spine - and the following particle emitters: stomach, right/left foot. The spine part features moving light.

You may wear any many or as few of them as you like. As noted, there as also an HUD supplied, to control it all. Furthermore, the HUD will also control existing Living Light add-ons, such as wings, halo, horns and tail.

"Magnificat" was designed to be worn with no clothing layers underneath, to be revealing, daring, sexy. However, you may of course wear anything you wish with it.

Given the above, there are really a vast number of ways in which you can make a unique look out of this outfit!

Christmas Silks 2010

2010-11-30T19:08:00.000-05:00

Once again, Animations Rising releases a free Christmas silk - this time, one male and one female.

But unlike before, the silk is a hunt gift. We are participating in the "It Gets Better" Hunt, which begins tomorrow, Dec 1.

Hint: "Look in the building where light comes alive."

Good luck - and help stop bullying of children!

Rising Silks for Her - The Seasons

2010-09-11T20:13:00.001-04:00

A new series of silks for her: the Seasons, based on the popular set for men. This release coincides with the "Wear Grey" fair in SL, benefiting The American Brain Tumor Association. All proceeds from "Summer" and "Autumn" go to the charity for the duration of the event, which runs September 12th - 25th.

You can go visit the event by clicking here.

Rising Cyber - Droid

2010-07-23T20:04:00.000-04:00

"Droid" is a cybernetic outfit for male avatars.

Nothing new as a concept, for sure. But in looking at what other designers in SL do, we notice that generally, the female cyber outfits/avatars are very sexy while the male ones, well, aren't at all. So, we decided to bring the Animations Rising style to cybernetic outfits as well, and make something that was also sexy - for men.

-----

WHY DID I GET TWO BOXES?

This outfit exists in two versions, depending on which viewer you use. So select the box accordingly.

If you are using the new SL Viewer 2.x, or any viewer that supports the new alpha layers, like Emerald from version 1.4.2100 onward, then rez out and unpack the box named: Rising Cyber - Droid - Vwr 2 [BOXED]. For any viewer that does NOT support alpha layers, such as SL viewer 1.35, then you will need to unpack the box named: Rising Cyber - Droid - Vwr 1 [BOXED].

The "Vwr 1" version uses invisiprims to hide body parts. This generally works quite well, but can have some odd visual side effects at times (like making the chest vanish if the avatar's arms are crossed). Furthermore, the plasma effects are not quite as striking.

This manual applies to both versions of the outfit. Differences will be clearly noted.

-----

WHAT IS SUPPLIED?

The outfit consists of 17 parts: Chest, Spine, Stomach, Pelvis (2 variants), Left/Right Bicep, Left/Right Forearm, Left/Right Hand, Left/Right Thigh, Left/Right Shin, and Left/Right Foot.

The Vwr2 version includes an alpha layer which needs to be worn, to hide the avatar body parts properly.

All prim parts are copy/modify/no transfer; the above mentioned alpha layer is however no modify.

As was mentioned there are two pelvis parts. The base one consists of a very basic codpiece, totally baring the back. If you need more coverage, then use the Kilt/Pelvis part instead.

-----

CUSTOMIZATION

All prim parts come with a resize script (new style, a single script per part, rather that one per prim, so very low lag). To fit the outfit to your avatar, wear the outfit, hop onto a pose stand, and then click each part that needs adjusting. You will get a menu which allows the part to be scaled up or down. More precise tweaking can be done manually, by editing the individual prims.

UPDATES

As with all our products, this comes with a free update guarantee. Should we ever issue an update, for any reason, you will be entitled to it for free. The Chest part of the outfit checks for an update every time it is worn or rezzed out.

Available in-world at Animations Rising.

New Pose Set: Macho & Action Poses

2010-07-06T22:18:00.000-04:00

We are pleased to (finally!) announce a new pose set: Macho and Action poses. This is a set of 23 poses, a mix of dynamic action poses and macho stands. They are most suited to models and photographers, as with all our sets, but of course their use it not limited to just this.

Below are some pics illustrating the poses. The may be found in-world here.

More after the jump....

Rising Silks: "The Guard"

2010-05-29T01:55:00.001-04:00

GENERAL INFORMATION

"The Guard" is inspired by fantasy artwork. - vaguely Boris Vallejo and Frank Frazetta. As most designs from Animations Rising, it is masculine yet erotic and sexy.

All aspects of "The Guard" can be customized, from the size, to textures for the metals and cloth. All this is done via an HUD. Each part may be changed independently, or you can make changes on the whole outfit in one go.

"The Guard" consists of several separate parts: stomach (See note below), chest, left forearm, left shin, right bicep, right thigh and a sword (right hand).

You may wear any many or as few of them as you like. As noted, there as also an HUD supplied, to control it all.

"The Guard" was designed to be worn with no clothing layers underneath, to be revealing, daring, sexy. However, you may of course wear anything you wish with it.

Given the above, there are really a vast number of ways in which you can make a unique look out of this outfit!

Please read the accompanying documentation to learn how to customize the look of "The Guard".

NOTE: The waist part attaches to the stomach rather than the pelvis. The pouch of the waist has a texture option called "Hide" (which is self-explanatory). In short, you may, if you wish, wear the waist *and* your genitals, with the pouch made invisible. :-)

NOTE: The sword is NOT scripted in any way. If you wish to use it in any form of RP, you will need to add the appropriate script(s). We are unable to provide assistance with this.

This item is YES mod - YES copy - NO trans.
[Note that it will show as NO mod in your inventory the scripts in it are no mod. If you rez it out or wear it, however, you will be able to modify it.]

Since the item is copyable, no refunds can be issued under any circumstances. Sorry, but we have no guarantee that you will not keep a copy and use it if a refund is issued.

This product was built on a fairly large avatar. Many men in SL are quite tall, and as a result, most prim clothing items need to be fitted and rarely fit well without a LOT of detailed tweaking. So these were built on a taller avatar. It should size down pretty well if you are smaller, but we cannot guarantee that it will fit perfectly.

*** Featuring low lag scripting - no "one script per prim" resizers! ***

"The Guard" is available in-world at Rising Silks.

Status of Silk Updates

2010-05-21T01:32:00.000-04:00

We have been gradually updating our scripted silks. A few batches have been released thus far, and notices posted. Nonetheless, it might be good to post a status update at this point.

Some silks can be updated automatically, while some need to be updated manually. Unfortunately, early yesterday morning, a bug was found by a customer that required yet another update; this affected all silks with HUDs that had previously been updated. We're not sure why this bug suddenly surfaced; the new scripts were well tested before being released and until yesterday, no customer had reported issues, quite the contrary. So it is anyone's guess. The new code works - at least it does now. One can hope. :-)

Anyway, the current status...

1. Automatic Update.

To update your silk, wear the outfit HUD. In a few minutes, you should receive a new copy of the outfit, boxed. Delete the old one before unboxing the new one. If the silk does not come with an HUD, wear or rez the waist part.

Should you not get a new copy of the silk, we ask that you try again, a bit later, and preferably from a low lag location. If that doesn't work, then please follow the instruction for manual updating, below.

The following silks should update automatically:

The Fallen
Angelicus
Diabolicus
The Elementals - All versions, his and hers
The Seasons - All versions

2. Manual Update

Go to Animations Rising and find a Redelivery Terminal (there is one near the landing point, as well as one in each room of the store), and request redelivery of the product.

The following silks require manual update:

Mythic (his and hers)
Solar
The Risen (his and hers)

If you are unable to update using these methods (automatic update fails, or you cannot have an outfit redelivered because it was purchased on XStreet, or any other reason), then please send a note card to Miro Collas with the following information:
- Name of outfit
- Who purchased it
- Who it was purchased for (if it was a gift)
- Where it was purchased (in-world, or XStreet)

More updates will be coming.

It is important to note that the updates do not add any new functions to the silks. However, they drastically reduce script usage and lag. So we strongly suggest that you do update any silks you have, as and when an update becomes available.

Script Limits and Our Products

2010-05-04T19:22:00.000-04:00

Some of you may be aware already that Linden Labs will be introducing script limits later this year. Without going into technical reasons, suffice to say that they are valid ones (though what those limits will be remains unknown). And even if they were not doing so, script-induced lag is becoming an ever growing problem.

The major cause of this is reszier/texture change scripts. Unfortunately, the scripting language has built-in delays in the standard functions which are used to modify a prim's size and appearance, so resizing/retexturing a whole object would take a long time, often too long. As a result, most designers use a system which drops a script into each prim of an outfit, making resizing/retexturing much faster.

But, one, or even two, scripts per prim adds up to a LOT of lag! Even more significantly, there is a bug in mono which is often called the "mono freeze" bug. This is documented here:

http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-4196

In brief, any time a mono script is rezzed into a SIM (be it by rezzing an object out or by heavily scripted avatars teleporting into the SIM), the SIM suffers a small "hit". *Each* mono script does this, so while the effect for a single script is tiny, when the object is, for example, resize-scripted hair, that is sometimes well over 200 prims, each containing a script, so the effect starts to become significant. And it adds up. Eventually what happens is that the SIM freezes anytime someone enters or leaves a SIM; everything stops dead, you can't move, scripts stop, everything. The only way to "cure" that is to restart the SIM.

LL are working on a solution to this but as yet, have not managed to implement it. So in the meantime, we have to live with it.

However, there is good news! LL understood why people were using the one-script-per-prim method to resize/retexture: the functions were too slow. So, as part of the plan to implement script limits, they have recently introduced new functions which are much faster, and therefore eliminate the need to have a script in every prim.

Animations Rising has adapted to these changes and re-written the code used in silks for texture change and resizing. Silks will be reduced to a maximum of 5 per outfit part, which is a HUGE reduction compared to how things are now.

All (commercial) scripted silks will be updated to the new, low-lag code. This will be done gradually, in batches, as rescripting each outfit takes time. All customers are entitled to free updates; notices will be sent explaining how to update.

Before closing, we would like to urge our customers to check the items they wear, and remove resize scripts from them if the item allows. It really does make a HUGE difference in terms of lag and SIM freeze. If the item is copyable, then should you ever need to change the size again, you can go back to the original you purchased and resize once more.

If the item does NOT allow the scripts to be removed, and each prim is scripted, old-style, then we urge you to contact the maker and ask that such a function be included - or even better, as that they update to the new LSL functions which do not require one script in every prim. Then deletion of resizers is no longer necessary.

Apologies for the VERY long text, but we wanted our customers not only to be informed of these upcoming updates, but also why they are being done. We strive to keep our products as current as possible with emerging SL technology - as well as the forthcoming limits on scripts.

"De Poenis Inferni" - from Rising Silks

2010-04-28T03:11:00.001-04:00

GENERAL INFORMATION

"De Poenis Inferni", from Rising Silks, is a high fantasy clothing item for role play or just for fun. The name means "Of the Pains of Hell", and the outfit reflects this, being made of flames, complemented by particle effects.

Both male and female versions are included in "De Poenis Inferni"; in fact, only the chest and pelvis part are different between the two.

"De Poenis Inferni" consists of several separate parts: pelvis *male and female), chest (male and female), spine, right/left bicep, left/right thigh, left/right shin - and the following particle emitters: right/left foot.

Also included are clothing items, on all possible layers: jacket, shirt, undershirt, gloves, pants, underpants, socks. So you may use whichever combination of layers you prefer, based on whatever else you might want to wear with this outfit.

-----

This item is YES mod - YES copy - NO trans.
[Note that some parts will show as NO mod in your inventory as the scripts in them are no mod. If you rez them out or wear them, however, you will be able to modify them.]

Since the item is copyable, no refunds can be issued under any circumstances. Sorry, but we have no guarantee that you will not keep a copy and use it if a refund is issued.

-----

RESIZING / MODIFICATION

All prim parts of this set are modifyable (clothing parts however, are NOT modifyable). With one exception, none of them are scripted as the parts are easily modified manually, and in fact, manual editing of the flame prim will allow you to vary the outfit to your liking.

The two Pelvis parts (one male, one female) are both resize scripted. Touch them to bring up a menu, which will allow you to size them larger or smaller. When you are happy with the results, click "Done".

IMPORTANT: Once you have fitted the Pelvic part to your satisfaction, please REMOVE the scripts from it! Resize scripts contribute greatly to server lag. To remove the scripts, click the item and select "Remove Scripts".

If you think you may need to resize at some point in the future, you can keep the original box in which you got this outfit. Then it is a simple matter to unbox a new copy to fit it again.

Fantasy Faire 2010

2010-04-13T04:53:00.000-04:00

Animations Rising is participating in Fantasy Faire this year.

From Monday April 19th to Sunday 25th 2010, thousands of Second Life residents and creators are coming together to support the American Cancer Society's vision of a world without cancer. Friends Fighting Cancer (FFC) have transformed nine sims of Second Life into a fantasy wonderland: the Fantasy Faire 2010 to benefit Relay for Life of Second Life (RFL of SL).

The Fantasy Faire 2010 is the largest gathering of fantasy designers, enthusiasts, roleplayers and performers in the virtual world. A week of commerce, special events, live music concerts, exclusive items auctions, RFL ribbon hunts and fundraising to benefit Relay for Life and the fight against cancer. Avatars, clothing, furnishings, gadgets, goodies and exclusive items are available from top SL Fantasy Creators including Fantavatar and Moonstruck, Evie's Closet, Fallen Gods, Mer Betta, Sassy Kitty, and many, many more!

This nine sim event is bringing together such fantasy genres as Fairy, Elven, Magic, Mermaid, Goth, Demon, Vamp, Neko, Tiny, Sci-Fi and more! FFC's goal in 2010 is to raise $15,000 USD for RFL of SL. The Fantasy Faire 2010 will also offer visitors an opportunity to celebrate the survivors of cancer, remember and honor loved ones lost, and to fight back with the American Cancer Society.

You can view some of last year's beautiful sims on YouTube, featuring our great environments and creators from Fantasy Faire 2009, shot by the talented kyota Spitteler and also a fantastic interview of Zander Greene, our Creative Director, showing scenes from across all the sims as he is interviewed fo Life On Line and discusses the background to the Faire:

To join us this year just search for "Fantasy Faire Central" on the map - open to the public 19th - 25th April, 2010.

As with all events this size, there will be lag. We have done our best to keep it as low as we can but we’ll also need your help. Be considerate of your fellow shoppers…keep prims and bling in your pocket…turn off your AOs and other scripted HUDs and make sure your hair and shoes have no resizers in them… You will find the going easier for yourself. Low prim clothes are available at each teleport point so that you can show your support for The Relay for Life and help everything run smoother PLUS our secret Fairy Godmother will be dropping FABULOUS prizes on people with really low Avatar Render Cost and Scripts for doing such a great job at keeping the lag down!

The Fantasy Faire 2010 is produced by Friends Fighting Cancer, one of the Featured Designer Teams at last year's Relay for Life of Second Life. FFC is an international team of people who have been involved with the RFL of SL for the past three years and is committed to helping the American Cancer Society reach this year’s goal of $300,000 USD.

Since its inception in 2005, the RFL of SL has grown in both attendance and fundraising. With almost $275,000 USD raised last year RFL of SL has become the largest fundraising event in the virtual world.

The Fantasy Faire 2010 is made possible by the generous support of Sim and Event Sponsors Fondazione Connell Project, Evie's Closet, Fairy Unique Designs (FUD), Fallen Gods Inc., Mer Betta, Moonstruck, Sassi Kitty Designs, The Arcanum and Media Sponsor, Treet TV.

Rising Silks - Solar

2010-03-13T16:10:00.002-05:00

RISING SILKS meets LIVING LIGHT

~~~ SOLAR ~~~

GENERAL INFORMATION

"Solar" is a new concept silk that combines the design of a fantasy male silk with full Living Light features. Moving light swirls along the metalic parts of the outfit. And the whole is complemented by particle effects.

All aspects of "Solar" can be customized, from the size, to textures for the metals and cloth, and of course the "living light" can be varied too: color, speed, intensity. All this is done via an HUD. Each part may be changed independently, or you can make changes on the whole outfit in one go.

"Solar" consists of several separate parts: pelvis, chest, right/left bicep - and the following particle emitters: spine, right/left hand, right/left foot.

This product was built on a fairly large avatar. Many men in SL are quite tall, and as a result, most prim clothing items need to be fitted and rarely fit well without a LOT of detailed tweaking. So these were built on a taller avatar. It should size down pretty well if you are smaller, but we cannot guarantee that it will fit perfectly.

Available in-world or from XStreet.

(More pictures below the fold...)

"WILD.Released" Hunt

Rising Silks - Angelicus

2010-02-24T16:29:00.002-05:00

RISING SILKS presents

~~~ Angelicus ~~~

GENERAL INFORMATION

"Angelicus" is a high fantasy silk for role play or just for fun. Skulls and horns, as clothing and protruding from the flesh. And the whole is complemented by particle effects.

All aspects of "Angelicus" can be customized, from the size, to textures for the horns and cloth. All this is done via an HUD. Each part may be changed independently, or you can make changes on the whole outfit in one go.

"Angelicus" consists of several separate parts: pelvis, chest, spine - and the following particle emitters: right/left foot, left/right hand.

You may wear any many or as few of them as you like. As noted, there is also an HUD supplied, to control it all.

"Angelicus" was designed to be worn with no clothing layers underneath, to be revealing, daring, sexy. However, you may of course wear anything you wish with it.

Given the above, there are really a vast number of ways in which you can make a unique look out of this outfit!

This item is YES mod - YES copy - NO trans.
[Note that it will show as NO mod in your inventory the scripts in it are no mod. If you rez it out or wear it, however, you will be able to modify it.]

Since the item is copyable, no refunds can be issued under any circumstances. Sorry, but we have no guarantee that you will not keep a copy and use it if a refund is issued.

This product was built on a fairly large avatar. Many men in SL are quite tall, and as a result, most prim clothing items need to be fitted and rarely fit well without a LOT of detailed tweaking. So these were built on a taller avatar. It should size down pretty well if you are smaller, but we cannot guarantee that it will fit perfectly.

We hope you enjoy "Angelicus"! Wishing you a wonderful SL!

Presenting STELLAR I

2010-02-16T16:54:00.001-05:00

Animations Rising presents...

~~~ STELLAR I ~~~

We brought you Living Light which was, we believe, a first for SL. Now perhaps we do it again with STELLAR I - an outfit made of particles.

Stellar consists of tiny invisible prims which generate particles to "clothe" the body. No visible prims are included - and no clothing layers at all. So you can, if you wish, use just this as clothing, or perhaps wear Stellar as an enhancement to another outfit you have.

At this point, a note on lag. Contrary to what some say, particles do NOT "lag a SIM". In fact, their impact on a SIM is very nearly zero. Particles are entirely "client side" - which means that all the work they involve is on each user's local computer. What particles can do is cause rendering to slow down if your hardware is not up to the job. This will vary from person to person, depending on their computer configuration: processor type and speed, graphics card and memory.

As a result, should someone complain to you that particles are lagging them, you can politely explain that the issue is on their side and is easily solved by turning particle rendering off.

To disable particles, access the Advanced menu (if you cannot see it, press Ctrl-Alt-D), then select: Rendering -> Types -> Particles. *OR* press Ctrl-Alt-Shift-= To re-enable particles, repeat the sequence.

Anyway, some places prohibit the use of particles in the mistaken belief that they lag the SIM. So, be aware that you may not be allowed to wear this outfit at some venues.

As noted, the outfit consists of tiny invisible prims which emit particles. These are worn, they attach to the avatar at various points, as indicated by the objects' names. Any attachments you might already be wearing on these points will be removed (detached) when you wear this outfit.

There is also an HUD included, which allows for basic on/off control, as well as changing the color of the particles.

The simplest way to wear the outfit is to right-click on the folder name and select "Add To Outfit". Similarly, you may remove the whole outfit in one go by right-clicking the folder and selecting "Take Off Items".

NOTE: Before wearing the outfit this way, it might be a good idea to move the included pose stand to some other folder, or you will end up wearing that too. :-)

The prims will begin emitting particles at once, though it will take a moment for the full design to take form, as they stream from one prim to another.

The HUD will attach to the top center of your screen. You may detach it at any time if you do not need it.

(More after the fold...)

USE OF THE HUD

The HUD has 5 labeled buttons to control the outfit. These are:

On - Turns particles on.

Off - Turns particles off.

Start Color - brings up a menu from which you may select the start color of the particles.

End Color - brings up a menu from which you may select the end color of particles.

Sleep - Puts the outfit into "sleep mode". This turns off the listens in the outfit scripts, thus greatly reducing script lag. However, it also inhibits communication between the HUD and the outfit. If you need to control the outfit after having put it into "sleep mode", you will need to detach all parts and then reattach them.

NOTE: as a general rule, when detaching a worn object, always make sure that any changes to that object are communicated to the SL servers before attaching again. You can check this by bringing up the Statistics window with Shift-Ctrl-1, and looking for "Pending Uploads". Normally this is zero. When you detach an object, the number will increase. Wait until it goes back to zero before wearing again.

PERMISSIONS

This item is sold with all the outfit prims as YES copy - NO transfer - NO mod. The HUD is YES copy - NO transfer - YES mod. The outfit parts are all single, transparent prims, there is no need whatsoever to edit them to fit you, which is why they are no modify. The HUD is instead provided moddable so that you may resize it on screen if you find it too large or too small.

FITTING

The prims are placed to be away from the surface of your avatar, so that the particles do not penetrate into your body (too much anyway; a bit is acceptable and even desired). In the unlikely event that you need to reposition any of the prims, proceed as follows.

- Disable particle rendering as described above - or turn off the particles using the HUD.

- Turn on viewing of transparent objects: View -> Highlight Transparent, *or* Ctrl-Alt-T. Transparent objects will become red.

- Now zoom in on yourself, the area where the prim you want to move is attached and look for the small red cube. Edit it and move it to where you would like it to be. (This is best done while on a pose stand, and one has been included for your convenience.)

- Once you have finished moving any prims you need to, reverse the process above: disable viewing of transparent objects, and re-enable particles.

UPDATES

Should there be any updates to this product, you are entitled to receive them free of charge. The HUD contains a script which checks for an update each time it is worn. Updates are also announced in the in-world group: Animations Rising.

Available in the Living Light building.

Living Light - Basic Information

2010-02-04T20:41:00.001-05:00

ABOUT LIVING LIGHT

The intent in designing this line of clothing was to draw attention to, and to enhance, the male body, and to do so with light. Swirling light moving around the body, enfolding it, yet revealing much of it. And the whole becoming a sort of living light sculpture.

The Living Light outfits were designed to take advantage of the new features available in the recent SL viewers. If you are using a different viewer, Living Light may not work for you. No guarantee is made that the outfit will give the desired effect for anyone using a viewer other than the latest official one from SL.

Naturally, the light effect is best seen in darkness. :-)

NOTE: the outfits are NO mod / YES copy / NO transfer. As a result, no refunds can be issued under any circumstances. If you had a delivery failure, please contact Miro Collas and include the relevant extract from your transaction log - a new copy can be given to you.

[Continued below the fold]

CONTROLLING THE LIVING LIGHT OUTFIT

The Living Light outfit is supplied with an HUD. By default, the HUD attaches to the "Center 2" HUD attachment point. This because most people have so many HUDs loaded already, and this point seems the one least likely to cause an existing HUD to be detached. You can move it off to one side by editing it, or attach it to any free attachment point: detach it, the locate it in your inventory, right click the name and select "Attach to HUD".

The HUD allows you to control many fun functions in the Living Light outfit. To access them, just click the HUD, and a blue menu will appear on your screen. The functions are described briefly below.

COLOR
You can change the color of any of the parts that make up the outfit - or of the entire outfit. Clicking "Set Color" will first bring up a menu from which you may select the outfit part (or "Whole Outfit"). Once you have chosen the outfit part, you can then select from a large number of colors, first by color group, then by specific color.

NOTE: Some Living Light outfits do not have all the body parts listed in the selection menu. However, due to the Madness feature (see below), the buttons are there and active; they simply will not control any part of the outfit that is not present.

INTENSITY
Here you can specify the intensity (brightness) of the light. As with color, first you select the outfit part (or "Whole Outfit"), and then then intensity. 0 turns the light off completely.

SPEED
This allows you to vary the speed with which the light moves around your body. It goes from 0 (no motion at all) to 80 (very fast). As before, this can be applied to individual outfit parts or the the entire outfit.

CYCLE
Want a different and constantly changing look? Then use this option to toggle color cycling. Each outfit part will automatically change to a randomly selected color, at a time varying between 1 and 3 minutes. The change of each part is totally independent of all the other parts. To stop cycling, select this option again. The colors will "freeze" at whatever they were, and you can then apply color changes manually once more, using the "Color" option described above.

MADNESS
By default, a Living Light outfit will only listen to commands which come from you, the owner. However, if you want some added fun, you can enable "Madness Mode". When this is toggled on, the outfit will listen to ANY Living Light HUD within 10m of you. Allow others to control your look - or you can control theirs, if they have Madness Mode enabled. ;-)

NOTE: Your Madness Mode will not be toggled off if other people toggle theirs.

SLEEP
The Living Light HUD sends commands to each outfit part on a private channel. In order to "hear" those commands, each part needs to listen for them. And listening causes lag (yes, your pose balls that listen for hide/show commands on channel 1 cause lag... you might be surprised how much!). If you want to be nice to the event you're attending, set up your Living Light outfit as you like it, and then select the "Sleep" option. This will turn the listening OFF, and the outfit will no longer respond to the HUD. To get it to respond again, simply take off the outfit and put it back on again; this will "wake it up".

NOTE: Sleep responds *only* to the owner of the outfit, even if Madness Mode is active.

POOFER
All Living Light outfits include a built-in poofer, with several different poof styles. This menu option allows you to change the settings. You can alter the poof style, the particle texture, the particle color. The poofer will trigger automatically on teleport into a new location; you can toggle this on/off too, if you like. And you can also "poof on command" with the Poof button.

Note that, as with all other functions, the Poofer will stop responding to commands in Sleep mode. The Poofer is part of the Chest part of each Living Light outfit, so detaching and then reattaching the Chest part will reactivate the Poofer.

WINGS

Wings are available as an optional add-on to Living Light outfits. And the outfits already come with full support for wings: when you make a color selection, for example, there is a new "Wings" button available, or selecting "Entire Outfit" will also cause the wings to change color.

Please note that Living Light outfits only support Living Light wings.

Wings can be used by themselves, but they were designed to be used together with one of the outfits. They attach to the spine attachment point, which is not used by any part of the outfits themselves - see, we did plan ahead! ;-)

-----

UPDATES

The Living Light HUD will check for a new version of your outfit and/or HUD every time you wear it. If they have been updated, you will receive a new copy for free!

Please note that MAJOR modifications to an outfit may be subject to an upgrade fee. This will be decided on a case by case basis. However, bug fixes and all minor enhancements will always be free.

-----

FITTING YOUR NEW OUTFIT

The outfits were made on a rather tall avatar. So you may need to adjust to fit to your own shape. Note however, that most of the parts of the outfit wear designed to be considerably larger than the body. As a result, the only fitting that should ever be necessary is repositioning an outfit part on your body.

Wear one item at a time, then right click it and select "Edit". If you are unable to get the pie menu, then hit Ctrl-Alt-T (or from the top menu bar, View - Highlight Transparent); this will show the item highlighted in red, and it will be easier to select it.

At this point, use the arrows to move the item until it is in the position you want it. You can then close the edit window. When you reattach the part, it will "remember" the position you moved it to.

Further instructions on fitting are beyond the scope of this introduction. You should be able to find more guidance, if needed, in the SL forums. Also, please note that time does not allow us to do custom fittings.

Available in-world at Animations Rising.

Rising Silks - Diabolicus

2010-01-31T00:30:00.001-05:00

Rising Silks - Diabolicus

GENERAL INFORMATION

"Diabolicus" is a high fantasy silk for role play or just for fun. Skulls and horns, as clothing and protruding from the flesh. And the whole is complemented by particle effects.

All aspects of "Diabolicus" can be customized, from the size, to textures for the horns and cloth. All this is done via an HUD. Each part may be changed independently, or you can make changes on the whole outfit in one go.

"Diabolicus" consists of several separate parts: pelvis, chest, spine, right/left bicep, left/right thigh, left/right shin - and the following particle emitters: right/left foot.

You may wear any many or as few of them as you like. As noted, there is also an HUD supplied, to control it all.

"Diabolicus" was designed to be worn with no clothing layers underneath, to be revealing, daring, sexy. However, you may of course wear anything you wish with it.

Given the above, there are really a vast number of ways in which you can make a unique look out of this outfit!

-----

This item is YES mod - YES copy - NO trans.
[Note that it will show as NO mod in your inventory the scripts in it are no mod. If you rez it out or wear it, however, you will be able to modify it.]

Since the item is copyable, no refunds can be issued under any circumstances. Sorry, but we have no guarantee that you will not keep a copy and use it if a refund is issued.

-----

This product was built on a fairly large avatar. Many men in SL are quite tall, and as a result, most prim clothing items need to be fitted and rarely fit well without a LOT of detailed tweaking. So these were built on a taller avatar. It should size down pretty well if you are smaller, but we cannot guarantee that it will fit perfectly.

Read on for the full manual of this item.

FUNCTIONS

This item is scripted and offers several functions. All of them are accessible via the included HUD. The HUD attaches to Top Right by default, but can be moved anywhere, or attached to a different point, if desired. If you *do* attach it to a different point, you may have to edit it into a decent position - it may be off screen entirely.

The HUD features a "Vitruvian man" image. Clicking on any part of the man (for which an appropriate body part exists in the outfit) will bring up a menu, allowing you to alter aspects for that part of the outfit. For the Spine part (pierced nipples), click the side of the figure (either side).

Across the top of the HUD, you will see "Whole Outfit". If you click this, you will also get a menu, and any changes made there will be applied to the whole outfit - those parts that are worn or rezzed out, of course.

The star on the top right of the HUD toggles particles on/off.

An explanation of each menu option follows below. The scripts are our own creation, and given the many possible variations, some specific combinations may be flawed; any bugs there might be are our fault. :-)

-----

Adjust

** NOTE: for technical reasons, this menu only appears if working on a specific outfit part; it is not available if you click "Whole outfit".

This leads to a second menu with one item, Resize. Clicking that will take you to a further menu where you may adjust the size of the product, making it all larger or smaller, in different increments.

For the pierced nipples, you may also adjust the separation between them: closer together or further apart. For vertical adjustment, simply hop onto a pose stand, edit the item and adjust up/down as needed.

Note: The Resize menu also has a button which allows you to remove the resize scripts from the item. Please make sure you keep a copy of the garment before you use this as removing the scripts cannot be reversed!

-----

Texture

You can change the texture of the various materials that make up the outfit. For each, several textures are available. Mix and match as you please.

-----

Glow

Here, you may add glow to the various parts of the item. Many glow levels are provided. Again, you can play with it till you find something you like.

-----

Shiny

One or more parts of the garment may be made shiny (most items containing metal parts already have a degree of shiny applied). It may not make sense to apply shiny to cloth, but who knows, it might produce interesting and unique results.

-----

Full Bright

For added effect, you can make some or all parts of the product full bright. In some situations, this can work very nicely together with Glow.

-----

Sleep

At the bottom of the HUD is "Sleep". If you click this, it will put all worn or rezzed parts of the item to "sleep", meaning that it will stop responding to the HUD. This was included to help reduce lag. Communication between any HUD and an item involves open listens, and these cause noticeable lag.

If you wish to make changes to the look of the outfit after having clicked "Sleep", detach it and wear it again.

-----

Note: you may detach the HUD at any time. The outfit does not require that the HUD be kept on-screen. The HUD serves only to change the appearance of the outfit.

Detaching and reattaching the HUD alone will NOT cause "Sleep" to end. You must detach the parts of the outfit themselves, and wear them again, to have them "wake up".

==================================================

UPDATES

If this item is updated, you will receive the update the next time you wear the HUD. You do NOT need to wear the entire outfit, just the HUD, to get the update.

Take Your Pick - A Hunt System

2010-01-30T23:59:00.002-05:00

Discontinued

Take Your Pick - A Hunt System

This kind of hunt is perhaps unusual in Second Life, where hunts generally have people going store to store, searching for hidden gift items. With so many large hunts going on these days, people can pretty much clothe themselves and furnish their homes completely, for free. In fact, many hunters do so, and so have no need, or even desire, to shop anymore, thus hurting business.

This system is an attempt to address that issue. The basic concept is a simple one: buy one, get one free. All stores that participate in a hunt using this system will have one or more items on sale that are marked as hunt items, and will include, when purchased, a hunt card (an HUD)

Customers then become hunters: they visit all the participating stores, each of which will have one (or more) hunt validation points. Hunters use these to validate their cards: each validation point will "stamp" their card with the store logo.

NOTE: Multiple validators in a single store are a customer convenince: they will not earn hunters extra validation points, as each will have the same store code.

On completing validation, the hunter heads to the hunt headquarters, where a redemption kiosk is set up. The kiosk will verify that the card has been validated at each store, and then allow the hunter to select a single free gift. One gift is supplied by each participating store.

People may obtain more than one hunt card, by purchasing more than one item that includes a card. Thus they may claim more than one free gift. Optionally, you can use a group inviter (included) to give a free hunt card to group members.

~~~ WHAT'S INCLUDED ~~~

The Take Your Pick system includes everything you need to set up a hunt of your own:

- hunt card (an HUD) [Prims are full perm; scripts are no mod, yes copy/transfer]

- validator device [Prims are full perm; scripts are no mod, yes copy/transfer]

- gift redemption kiosk [Prims are full perm; scripts are no mod, no transfer, yes copy]

- group gift point [Prims are full perm; scripts are no mod, but yes copy/transfer]

- updater - checks to see if the product has been updated [no mod, yes copy, no transfer]

- scripts to give each store owner, for their free hunt gift [no mod, yes copy/transfer]

- all textures used in making the kit, to aid in customization

- templates for notecards to be given to participating store owners, and to hunters.

All scripts have been written to be as efficient as possible, and low on "waste":

- no permanently open listens! Hunters activate communication between devices by touching both, so listens are open only for a short time and not constantly lagging a region.

- the HUD is LSL compiled, not mono. Yes it is slower to respond, but on the other hand, it avoids the potentially crippling effects of the "mono rez" bug, documented here:
http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-4196
http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-3895
On the other hand, the HUD doesn't need to be fast. However, if/when the above bug is finally fixed, the HUD will be recompiled in mono and an update issued.

- blue menus are nice but they need a lot of code to process them properly, so this system has none. The few things that require interaction are handled by chat commands, with the listen being opened on touch and closed right after the command is issued.

~~~ GENERAL COMMENTS ~~~

There is some work to be done to prepare a hunt with this system. But to balance it out, there is a limit to how many stores can participate in a hunt which uses it. The reason for this lies in the nature of the hunt: people will not be getting a gift at each store, instead they will get a single one after having visited all stores. For this reason, 25 was chosen as a "comfortable" top limit. However, you can make the hunt smaller if you wish, by simply not setting it up for the full 25.

Besides, all hunts require a great deal of preparation. For example, logos need to be designed and made, most hunts have specific objects that people look for - which is not the case here, so that doesn't need to be done.

You are free to set any rules that you like for this hunt. For example, you may require that items containing hunt cards all have a value over a 100L (or some other figure) - or be priced between in specific range. You can also require store owners to give gifts above a value that you indicate, in order to make the hunt more appealing.

In short, the hunt strategy is in your hands. What this kit does, hopefully, is give you the tools you need to set it up, and hopefully, from this hunt, have participating stores make guaranteed sales from participants instead of giving away so many quality items for nothing.

A "traditional" hunt is not the only way this system can be used. There are other ways in which Take Your Pick can be put to use to grow your traffic. For example, if you have a large store, or a even a non-commercial region that you would like people to explore for fun and prizes, you can have the hunt entirely "in house". Convert the validator kiosks into something smaller, and hide them, perhaps providing clues to their location. This can encourage people to explore your store/region. Or if you own or run a mall, you can use this to help drive traffic to your tenants. There are many possibilities, and since the entire system is fully customizable, the only real limit is your imagination.

~~~ WHAT NEXT? ~~~

The documents included wit the system will explain how to set up a basic hunt system "out of the box", and then you can read more on how to customize the look to suit, if you wish. Please take the time to read through the first one carefully. It has all the information you need to get a hunt up and running. Take your time, don't rush it, and plan ahead. The best hunts are well thought out, carefully planned.

As always, if you have questions or problems of any kind, please do ask! If you think you have found a bug, then please contact Miro Collas in-world and supply as much information as possible about it. It won't be possible to track down a bug if the circumstances are not clear.

Rising Silks - The Risen

2010-01-30T23:43:00.001-05:00

Rising Silks - The Risen

"The Risen" is a silk that combines the design of a fantasy male silk with full Living Light features. Moving light swirls along the metallic parts of the outfit. And the whole is complemented by particle effects.

All aspects of "The Risen" can be customized, from the size, to textures for the metals and cloth, and of course the "living light" can be varied too: color, speed, intensity. All this is done via an HUD. Each part may be changed independently, or you can make changes on the whole outfit in one go.

"The Risen" consists of several separate parts: pelvis, stomach, chest, right/left bicep - and the following particle emitters: right/left hand, right/left foot.

You may wear any many or as few of them as you like. As noted, there as also an HUD supplied, to control it all. Furthermore, the HUD will also control existing Living Light add-ons, such as wings, halo, horns and tail.

"The Risen" was designed to be worn with no clothing layers underneath, to be revealing, daring, sexy. However, you may of coruse wear anything you wish with it.

Given the above, there are really a vast number of ways in which you can make a unique look out of this outfit!

-----

This item is YES mod - YES copy - NO trans.
[Note that it will show as NO mod in your inventory the scripts in it are no mod. If you rez it out or wear it, however, you will be able to modify it.]

Since the item is copyable, no refunds can be issued under any circumstances. Sorry, but we have no guarantee that you will not keep a copy and use it if a refund is issued.

-----

This product was built on a fairly large avatar. Many men in SL are quite tall, and as a result, most prim clothing items need to be fitted and rarely fit well without a LOT of detailed tweaking. So these were built on a taller avatar. It should size down pretty well if you are smaller, but we cannot guarantee that it will fit perfectly.

Read on for the full documentation for this product.

Texture

You can change the texture of the various materials that make up the outfit. For each, several textures are available. Mix and match as you please.

-----

Glow

Here, you may add glow to the various parts of the item. Many glow levels are provided. Again, you can play with it till you find something you like.

NOTE: It is suggested not to set this value too high or the Living Light effect will be lost.

-----

Shiny

One or more parts of the garment may be made shiny (most items containing metal parts already have a degree of shiny applied). It may not make sense to apply shiny to cloth, but who knows, it might produce interesting and unique results.

-----

Full Bright

For added effect, you can make some or all parts of the product full bright. In some situations, this cane work very nicely together with Glow.

-----

Sleep

At the bottom of the HUD is "Sleep". If you click this, it will put all worn or rezzed parts of the item to "sleep", meaning that it will stop responding to the HUD. This was included to help reduce lag. Communication between any HUD and an item involves open listens, and these cause noticeable lag.

If you wish to make changes to the look of the outfit after having clicked "Sleep", detach it and wear it again.

-----

Note: you may detach the HUD at any time. The outfit does not require that the HUD be kept on-screen. The HUD serves only to change the appearance of the outfit.

Detaching and reattaching the HUD alone will NOT cause "Sleep" to end. You must detach the parts of the outfit themselves, and wear them again, to have them "wake up".

==================================================

UPDATES

If this item is updated, you will receive the update the next time you wear the HUD. You do NOT need to wear the entire outfit, jsut the HUD, to get the update.

==================================================

CONTROLLING THE LIVING LIGHT FUNCTIONS

Click the bottom of the HUD to control the Living Light functions of "The Risen". A blue menu will appear on your screen. The functions are described briefly below.

-----

COLOR
You can change the color of any of the parts that make up the outfit - or of the entire outfit. Clicking "Set Color" will first bring up a menu from which you may select the outfit part (or "Whole Outfit"). Once you have chosen the outfit part, you can then select from a large number of colors, first by color group, then by specific color.

"The Risen" is supplied with particle emitters which attach to right/left hands, right/left feet and stomach. The color of the particles is changed using this function. If you wish to make all the particles match the Living Light effects, then select "Whole Outfit" when changing color. Otherwise, select the specific emitter by body part.

NOTE: To toggle particles on and off, click the star at the top right of the HUD. This will act on all (worn) emitters. If you wish to just disable one, well, detach it. :-)

-----

INTENSITY
Here you can specify the intensity (brightness) of the light. As with color, first you select the outfit part (or "Whole Outfit"), and then then intensity. 0 turns the light off completely.

-----

SPEED
This allows you to vary the speed with which the light moves around your body. It goes from 0 (no motion at all) to 80 (very fast). As before, this can be applied to individual outfit parts or the the entire outfit.

-----

CYCLE
Want a different and constantly changing look? Then use this option to toggle color cycling. Each outfit part will automatically change to a randomly selected color, at a time varying between 1 and 3 minutes. The change of each part is totally independent of all the other parts. To stop cycling, select this option again. The colors will "freeze" at whatever they were, and you can then apply color changes manually once more, using the "Color" option described above.

-----

MADNESS
By default, a Living Light outfit will only listen to commands which come from you, the owner. However, if you want some added fun, you can enable "Madness Mode". When this is toggled on, the outfit will listen to ANY Living Light HUD within 10m of you. Allow others to control your look - or you can control theirs, if they have Madness Mode enabled. ;-)

NOTE: Your Madness Mode will not be toggled off if other people toggle theirs.

==========

WINGS

Wings are available as an optional add-on to Living Light outfits. And the outfits already come with full support for wings: when you make a color selection, for example, there is a new "Wings" button available, or selecting "Entire Outfit" will also cause the wings to change color.

Please note that Living Light outfits only support Living Light wings.

Wings can be used by themselves, but they were designed to be used together with one of the outfits. They attach to the spine attachment point, which is not used by any part of the outfits themselves - see, we did plan ahead! ;-)

"The Fallen" consists of several separate parts: pelvis (in two versions), chest, stomach, right/left bicep, left/right forearm, right/left thigh and left/right shin - and the following particle emitters: right/left hand and right/left foot.

You may wear any many or as few of them as you like. As noted, there as also an HUD supplied, to control it all. Furthermore, the HUD will also control existing Living Light add-ons, such as wings, halo, horns and tail.

Viewer Tips

RENDERING ISSUES

Some general information which might be of use, if you notice that items are not appearing properly on your screen.

Sometimes sculpties and normal prims fail to rez completely.

If you're finding that they're not rendering for you very well, you can try this:

1. Show the "Advanced" menu with Ctrl-Alt-D, or Opt-Ctrl-D on a Mac.
2. Select "debug settings" near the bottom.
3. In the blank space, copy and paste the word:

RenderVolumeLODFactor

Suggested setting is 4.00, but you can play around with it. Some suggest as high as 8.00.

With Linden Lab's version 1.23 (Adult Oriented controls) release they decided to damage the experience by breaking content by limiting verticies to 4096. To reacquire a usable experience you must override this setting by:

1. Show the "Advanced" menu with Ctrl-Alt-D, or Opt-Ctrl-D on a Mac.
2. Select "debug settings" near the bottom.
3. In the blank space, copy and paste the word:

rendermaxNodeSize

You can get away with as low as 6000 before prims begin to disappear, but you can play around with it. 8192 seems like a good value and there seems to be no reduction in frame rate.

==========

A NOTE ON LAG

Lag comes in two distinct and totally unrelated forms: server-side and client-side.

SERVER SIDE LAG

Server-side lag is when the servers (the SIM itself) is required to do more work than it can handle and so things slow to a crawl.

The primary cause of server side lag is people. Yes, people. The server has to keep track of where everyone is, and act to prevent them from walking through one another, through walls, and so on. If you have ever been to a massive event like Hair Fair, where scripts are turned off and most people are forced to dress down to the max, yet you're still walking in molasses, you're seeing the effects of many people moving about, and how the server struggles to cope.

It needs to be noted that if people are NOT moving, but rather sitting, then things are far less serious (and dancing on a pose ball counts as sitting; the avatar itself is not moving, it merely appears to be dancing).

If the server cannot keep up with avatar movement, then it cannot even find time to process running scripts. This is why, if you are in a busy SIM, and you try to use, for example, a hugger, it may be very slow to respond. The server is too busy dealing with people.

The second major cause of lag is scripts. Scripts have to be processed by servers - when they are not dealing with people. So, a low script time on a SIM will reduce SIM lag significantly.

But it must be repeated here: if a SIM has 50 people moving about, then script time is totally irrelevant: the SIM simply will not be able to deal with scripts in the first place.

The final major contributor to lag is physics, objects which have physics enabled. The server then has to do for those objects, what it does for avatars: keep track of where they are, and prevent them from going through things, and so on. Generally speaking, however, physics is rarely used on objects anyway, so it is not of huge concern.

There are other causes of server side lag, like for instance temp-rez - but compared to the ones listed above, they are negligible. Which is not to say it suddenly OK to go out and get 100 temp rez items. :-) It simply means that temp rez is fine *in moderation*.

CLIENT SIDE LAG

This is the term used to refer to any slowing down of how quickly things are drawn on your computer. It is directly related to how powerful your computer - and specifically, your video card is. The better your hardware, the less client side lag you will experience. In other words, client side lag is specific to the individual.

Common causes of client side lag include: setting draw distance high, having graphics hardware options set too high, excessive particles, etc.

Note: particles do NOT cause server side lag whatsoever. Any slow-down experienced as a result of particles is entirely client side, and it is trivial to simply turn them off: Ctrl-Alt-Shift-= [Advanced -> Rendering -> Types -> Particles]

You can reduce client side lag by decreasing your graphics settings. First, make sure that in Graphics -> Hardware Options, you have Ansiotropic Filtering and Antialiasing both turned off. Disable water reflections (those will greatly reduce your draw speeds if you have them enabled), reduce draw distance. If that isn't enough, turn off Atmospheric Shaders (ie, turn off Windlight, and the thousands of polygons used to create those pretty skies).

ARC is an example of client side lag. Rather than heckling those who have high ARC, reduce your graphics settings. If your system cannot cope, it isn't their fault.

Those who are really interested can find a much longer and better explanation of lag here.

Rising Silks - Mythic

2010-01-30T21:48:00.003-05:00

Rising Silks - Mythic

"Mythic" is a new concept silk that combines the design of a fantasy male silk with full Living Light features. Moving light swirls along the metallic parts of the outfit. And the whole is complemented by particle effects.

All aspects of "Mythic" can be customized, from the size, to textures for the metals and cloth, and of course the "living light" can be varied too: color, speed, intensity. All this is done via an HUD. Each part may be changed independently, or you can make changes on the whole outfit in one go.

"Mythic" consists of several separate parts: pelvis (in two versions), chest, right/left bicep, right/left thigh - and the following particle emitters: stomach, right/left hand, right/left foot.

You may wear any many or as few of them as you like. As noted, there as also an HUD supplied, to control it all. Furthermore, the HUD will also control existing Living Light add-ons, such as wings, halo, horns and tail.

"Mythic" was designed to be worn with no clothing layers underneath, to be revealing, daring, sexy. However, you may of coruse wear anything you wish with it.

Given the above, there are really a vast number of ways in which you can make a unique look out of this outfit!

This item is YES mod - YES copy - NO trans.
[Note that it will show as NO mod in your inventory the scripts in it are no mod. If you rez it out or wear it, however, you will be able to modify it.]

Since the item is copyable, no refunds can be issued under any circumstances. Sorry, but we have no guarantee that you will not keep a copy and use it if a refund is issued.

This product was built on a fairly large avatar. Many men in SL are quite tall, and as a result, most prim clothing items need to be fitted and rarely fit well without a LOT of detailed tweaking. So these were built on a taller avatar. It should size down pretty well if you are smaller, but we cannot guarantee that it will fit perfectly.

Read on for information on how to customize this outfit.

FUNCTIONS

This item is scripted and offers several functions. All of them are accessible via the included HUD. The HUD attaches to Top Right by default, but can be moved anywhere, or attached to a different point, if desired. If you *do* attach it to a different point, you may have to edit it into a decent position - it may be off screen entirely.

The HUD features a "Vitruvian man" image. Clicking on any part of the man (for which an appropriate body part exists in the outfit) will bring up a menu, allowing you to alter aspects for that part of the outfit.

Across the top of the HUD, you will see "Whole Outfit". If you click this, you will also get a menu, and any changes made there will be applied to the whole outfit - those parts that are worn or rezzed out, of course.

At the bottom, you will see "Living Light". This control the Living Light features, as well as particle effects, and is described in a separate document. The star on the top right of the HUD toggles particles on/off.

An explanation of each menu option follow below. The scripts are our own creation, and given the many possible variations, some specific combinations may be flawed; any bugs there might be are our fault. :-)

-----

Adjust

** NOTE: for technical reasons, this menu only appears if working on a specific outfit part; it is not available if you click "Whole outfit".

This leads to a second menu with one item, Resize. Clicking that will take you to a further menu where you may adjust the size of the product, making it all larger or smaller, in different increments.

Note: The Resize menu also has a button which allows you to remove the resize scripts from the item. Please make sure you keep a copy of the garment before you use this as removing the scripts cannot be reversed!

-----

Texture

You can change the texture of the various materials that make up the outfit. For each, several textures are available. Mix and match as you please.

-----

Glow

Here, you may add glow to the various parts of the item. Many glow levels are provided. Again, you can play with it till you find something you like.

NOTE: It is suggested not to set this value too high or the Living Light effect will be lost.

-----

Shiny

One or more parts of the garment may be made shiny (most items containing metal parts already have a degree of shiny applied). It may not make sense to apply shiny to cloth, but who knows, it might produce interesting and unique results.

-----

Full Bright

For added effect, you can make some or all parts of the product full bright. In some situations, this cane work very nicely together with Glow.

-----

Sleep

At the bottom of the HUD is "Sleep". If you click this, it will put all worn or rezzed parts of the item to "sleep", meaning that it will stop responding to the HUD. This was included to help reduce lag. Communication between any HUD and an item involves open listens, and these cause noticeable lag.

If you wish to make changes to the look of the outfit after having clicked "Sleep", detach it and wear it again.

-----

Note: you may detach the HUD at any time. The outfit does not require that the HUD be kept on-screen. The HUD serves only to change the appearance of the outfit.

Detaching and reattaching the HUD alone will NOT cause "Sleep" to end. You must detach the parts of the outfit themselves, and wear them again, to have them "wake up".

==================================================

UPDATES

If this item is updated, you will receive the update the next time you wear the HUD. You do NOT need to wear the entire outfit, jsut the HUD, to get the update.

==================================================

CONTROLLING THE LIVING LIGHT FUNCTIONS

Click the bottom of the HUD to control the Living Light functions of "Mythic". A blue menu will appear on your screen. The functions are described briefly below.

-----

COLOR
You can change the color of any of the parts that make up the outfit - or of the entire outfit. Clicking "Set Color" will first bring up a menu from which you may select the outfit part (or "Whole Outfit"). Once you have chosen the outfit part, you can then select from a large number of colors, first by color group, then by specific color.

"Mythic" is supplied with particle emitters which attach to right/left hands, right/left feet and stomach. The color of the particles is changed using this function. If you wish to make all the particles match the Living Light effects, then select "Whole Outfit" when changing color. Otherwise, select the specific emitter by body part.

NOTE: To toggle particles on and off, click the star at the top right of the HUD. This will act on all (worn) emitters. If you wish to just disable one, well, detach it. :-)

-----

INTENSITY
Here you can specify the intensity (brightness) of the light. As with color, first you select the outfit part (or "Whole Outfit"), and then then intensity. 0 turns the light off completely.

-----

SPEED
This allows you to vary the speed with which the light moves around your body. It goes from 0 (no motion at all) to 80 (very fast). As before, this can be applied to individual outfit parts or the the entire outfit.

-----

CYCLE
Want a different and constantly changing look? Then use this option to toggle color cycling. Each outfit part will automatically change to a randomly selected color, at a time varying between 1 and 3 minutes. The change of each part is totally independent of all the other parts. To stop cycling, select this option again. The colors will "freeze" at whatever they were, and you can then apply color changes manually once more, using the "Color" option described above.
