Vista Lia’s Animations

by

Vista Animations released their bento head Lia last week. This post covers her animations and how she can make your avatar come to life. For more information about her appearance, cosmetic options, and to see her HUD check out my Lia announcement post.

Moods & Expressions

The Moods section is the first chunk right at the top of the animations tab. The four options allow you to choose the default mood your face will display. Each mood is a long and subtle set of animations. You can have one mood selected at a time. The mood serves as a nice baseline for your own unique personality to shine through. You’ll spice it up with your expressions.

Expressions are the flavor, so to speak. Each one selected adds a more obvious facial movement into the loop. You can select them all, none, or anything in between. With twenty four expressions to choose from you can build your very own personality how you see fit. The large pause button in this section will halt the expressions until you click it again. The stop button will clear all the selected expressions. I highly recommend you grab the demo and play with the moods and expressions because it’s really fun to make your own combinations!

It’s not just the movement that’s exciting, though. Using the smaller pause icons will freeze the face in an expression perfect for photos. You can see every one of the static facial expressions in the slideshow below.

Lia: The Vista Bento Head Is Here!

by

Vista Animations has released their bento head Lia! Vista Facebook fans have been excited for this for the past week, though many people on grid are just now hearing about Lia. Can’t make it to the store to pick up your demo? Not a problem! Learn everything you need to know right here then snag that demo (and maybe the full version) once the crowds die down.

First Impressions

Right upon opening the box I was excited to see how many shapes Lia comes with. You don’t have to be an experienced shape maker to have a nice variety of looks. I also loved that Vista included a notecard explaining that this is their first head and feedback is welcome.

Originally I planned on making one post about Lia, however she’s so in depth that I had to split it into two. Today I’ll cover the main appearance of Lia and my next post will dig more into her animations and poses.

What Lia Comes With

While many of these are pretty self explanatory sometimes a cheat sheet can be helpful. Here is everything that comes with your Lia purchase and what it does. Note: the head itself can be copied, but not modified or transferred. All modification options happen with the included HUD. The shapes allow for copying and modifying so you can alter them with appearance sliders.

KingbalStores’ Shocking Mini

by

KingbalStores has brought a cute mini dress to Fashion Dazzle.

Celia Dress – Shock

This outfit is one of my favorites from KS. I really like the peekaboo cutouts. I’m such a sucker for showing skin under clothing. The cutouts and the sleeves are covered in the same transparent material. If you look closely you’ll also see the tops of the sleeves have some cool lacing as well.

The dress style itself is called Celia. Shock is the HUD which gives the black/white and black/grey patterns. You can see the other pattern in the Pics & Credits section below. This outfit is materials enabled so you can play with that if you like a little extra gloss to your look.

The dress itself fit my Maitreya body perfectly right out of the box. The HUD is also clear and easy to use. I do want to note that the designer is very kinda and super helpful if you do happen to run into any issues. That gives products an extra bonus in my book!

Celia in Shock fits Slink, Maitreya, TMP, Belleza, eBODY, Tonic, and Classic bodies. It’s available for L$199 exclusively at the KingbalStores booth at Fashion Dazzle this month. The booth has other outfits starting at L$150 so make sure to check them out, too.

It’s already November! 7 Deadly s{K}ins has new group gifts out, another Mystery Box, and new events coming up!

I’m not sure specifically which bento head Chantal was designed for, though it appears some secrets and a story will be revealed soon according to the notecard that comes with the gift. Perhaps that is one of them?

Inspired By: Hel

by

To celebrate my favorite holiday, Halloween, I decided to create an avatar loosely based on the Norse goddess Hel. Those of you familiar with Hel know she’s described as being “part black and part white.” The video game Smite takes this literally by splitting Hel into two personalities and entities. I’ve based this look on that split image.

Split Hair

The hair is TRUTH‘s Ophelia. The hair itself is split colored, these images aren’t edited for that effect. You can choose any color in the HUD for either side. I highly recommend snagging the fatpack for this hair if you don’t usually. It gives you so many more options since you can wear two colors! The styling HUD also allows for the hair to sit differently as well. Ophelia is available at Salem until October 31.

Dual Skins

Two skins are featured here, both by 7 Deadly s{K}ins. The darker skin is Pepper in Mud and the lighter is Key in Dew. Both are designed for LAQ bento heads and come in Omega appliers. Pepper is currently available as part of the Trick or Treat hunt as well as for direct purchase at the 7DS store. Key was available as part of The Black Fair this month.

7 Deadly s{K}ins October: Hunt, Mystery Box, and More!

by

October is here! 7 Deadly s{K}ins has a new group gift out, new discounts, and new events coming up! And just as a reminder, we’re going into our first full month with the three new skin tones introduced Sep 10.

Group Gift

October’s group gift isn’t a free skin this time, it’s free money. As a thank you for being a VIP group member you’ll be able to get L$400 in store credit. This way you can put it toward a skin of your choice.

To get your store credit simply wear your VIP tag and head to the store credit terminal at the female side of the store. This can be found on the wall to the right after you walk in from the front doors. You’ll see two terminals to the left of the info board. Just click on the right to get your credit.

We also have a group hunt this month! Sneak a peek at the skins available in the slideshow below.

 

Trick or Treat Store Hunt

 

 

30 pumpkins (some are tricks and some are treats) are hidden within the designated borders at the 7DS store. Treat pumpkins have male and female skins inside. Every pumpkin has a word. Collect all the words to make a Halloween poem. The first three people to complete the poem get store credit. The first gets L$1000, the second gets L$500, and the third gets L$250.

The Trick or Treat Store Hunt runs for group members only from October 1 – November 1. Make sure to pick up and review the hunt rules at the store before starting the hunt or chatting in the VIP group about it.

One Hair + Three Skins = Three Girls (ft. 7DS & TRUTH)

by

It’s no secret I’m a huge fan of 7 Deadly s{K}ins and TRUTH; they’re in almost all of my posts! Today I want to show off a few of their products and show how you can get different looks without changing much.

The Basics

Every pic used today has almost identical products (all of which are credited at the end of the post). There is only one actual product that is different in each picture and that’s the skin. You’ll see the style and color of the hair changes. The hair itself isn’t being swapped out, it’s all controlled by HUD. The color of the bathing suit is adjusted the same way. The mesh parts and shapes are all the same. This is a great example of how different you can look with a new skin and hairdo.

Serika

This look is based around the Serika Omega applier from 7 Deadly s{K}ins. While it’s designed for LAQ (there’s a shape for sale too) I find that she works fine on my Catwa head as seen here. She’s available in eleven skin tones as seen below:

  • Box 1
    • Caramel (shown here)
    • Cotton
    • Dew
    • Marshmellow
    • Sand
    • Snow
  • Box 2
        • Caramel (shown here)
        • Coconut
        • Oak
        • Pineapple
        • Taupe
        • Walnut Serika is available at anyBODY until September 30 at 8AM SLT.
