This post is an NSFW extension of Belleza Gen.X – The New Bodies From Freya’s Creator. Make sure to check that one out too if you’re interested in Belleza’s Gen.X body. Gen.X is available at the Belleza Gen.X Event (October 1st – 31st.)
Belleza Gen.X Curvy and Classic bodies come with a bento vagina built right in. The first mention of it stirred up lots of curiosity in the brand’s Discord, so I decided to include a bit of a closer look at it for those who are interested in the X side of Gen.X.
I love that song (and the meme) so I just couldn’t resist.
I do exist, I promise! While it hasn’t been obvious when looking at the home page, I’ve been busy busy at work on Regeneration. Most of my blog time has been work on The Mesh Directory, which you may have noticed. It outgrew the single menu dropdown, so now you can find Feminine, Masculine, and Furry/Other products each in their own dropdown menu in the site navigation. You can also access any listings from the Directory page itself as well as the comparison pages.
If you’ve ever purchased clothing or accessories in Second Life you’ve probably run into alphas. But what are they exactly, what are the different types, and which ones should you use? That’s what I’m here to help you with!
Before mesh body parts were a thing we used alpha layers to hide sections of our avatars. These layers were (and still are) a type of texture in our inventories that we wear. Once mesh bodies came out they needed ways to hide sections as well. Designers built alphas into the mesh itself to replicate what we were already doing with the alpha layers. These new alphas were (and still are) controlled by HUDs.
You most likely have used at least one of these alpha types before. And if you’ve used both types you probably know that, while handled slightly differently, they are both really similar and easy to use.
Yup, you read that right! I can’t very well tell y’all that anyone can regenerate without doing it myself, can I?
When I started the blog was found over at regenerationshapes.com. The site went by Regeneration back then, and shapes was just some blah addon because regeneration.com was already taken. I blogged multiple times a week for about a year – around 200 posts! Then life happened, like it does, and I had to stop for a while. A while turned into a while longer, and well, you get the drift. While I was away from blogging my domain expired, and I took that as an awesome sign to get a better one. So now I’m back with something that fits a bit better, Digital Regeneration! I’m cool with being referred to as Regeneration or Digital Regeneration, either is totally fine.
Hey everyone! Today’s post is a little more personal than most, so you’ve been warned!
After a year of blogging I realized Regeneration wasn’t quite where I’d envisioned it. What started as an avatar creation blog morphed into more of a fashion blog with some helpful posts mixed in. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with fashion blogs (there are many awesome ones!) but that just wasn’t my goal for Regeneration. You all seem to agree! My top posts are all informative posts, things like how to use appliers, organizing your inventory, and if Gacha games are worth it. So I decided that 2018 would be the year Regeneration got back to its roots of helping you find the info you need to make your avatar exactly what you want.
Well 2018 came and along with it lots of off grid challenges, those of which I’ll spare you the details of. Lately I’ve been so busy, in fact, that you’ve probably noticed I haven’t been able to post as frequently as I used to. Again I had to figure out what direction Regeneration would be going. And where is it going?
Regeneration is not going anywhere. What? Yeah you read that right. For now I, along with Regeneration, am taking a break. I need to focus on my off grid commitments and get my RL sorted before I can make time to focus on blogging. This is a good thing though! When I do continue you can expect the quality, informative posts you’ve come to love. I plan to branch beyond basics too, including avatars such as mermaids and children.
You may still see a post from me here or there about Free Dove (which I truly believe is one of the best first stops for new avatars) or other names you’ve gotten to know through the past year. Fear not, those names aren’t going to be forgotten or abandoned! They’ll still pop up, I promise. I’ll let you know when regularly scheduled blogging comes back.
Thank you all for your patience, your time, and your love. I really appreciate you.
Love,
Asia
BVN, a wonderful group for Second Life bloggers, arranged a Secret Santa for their members. Each of the participants was given a random blogger to write about and I was fortunate enough to get the talented nιcĸιe roѕe from Danni’s Dream.

I’ve had a lot of unexpected changes in my life off grid recently. The side effects of these are taking up more and more of the time generally reserved for blogging. For an indefinite time I’ll be reducing my posting frequency. Don’t worry, you’ll still be getting all your Free Dove Fridays and posts about Fashion …
Hey everybody! Just a quick note from me, Asia, to let you know I’ll be away until September. Until I get back there will be no new posts, but there are lots of older posts you can check out while you wait!
I encourage you to visit the pages in the Info Hubs menu at the top of the page or search for content you may be interested in. Feel free to check out some of our most visited posts of all time: they’re listed below.
This is something I’ve seen a fair amount of buzz over so I’d like to cover it for you guys even though it’s not directly avatar related. Second Life’s TOS (Terms of Service) has been updated and goes into effect July 31, 2017. As of this weekend you cannot log in without accepting the new agreement. So what does that mean for you? Probably not too much. I highly doubt this will change the way most of you use Second Life. Due to the nature of the content this is a very text heavy post.
Linden Lab stated in their announcement, “We’ve restructured the Terms of Service to contain terms and conditions that apply to all Linden Lab products, and we have separated out product-specific references (such as Linden Dollar and LindeX for SL) into product-specific policies. The new Second Life Terms and Conditions contains all the Second Life-specific references that were previously in the Terms of Service.”
Most of the changes appear to be tidying up the document and clarifying things. For example the content covered in the old Infringement Notifications section was split up throughout the document a bit differently. There are some changes, however, that are still likely to stick out when looking it over. Though they may look scary (as policy changes often do) they really aren’t anything to worry about.
Have you ever found a product in Second Life and really wanted to find something similar to wear off the grid? That’s what the Found In Real Life series is all about! While we know we likely won’t find exact versions of products this series will focus on looks that are pretty close. Keep reading to find not only the Second Life credits but also links to the featured off grid products on Amazon.
Today we’ve found comparable off grid products for this entire outfit! Featuring in world items from Phedora, Addams, Caboodle, and KC Couture.
Fun Note: I threw this whole outfit together and didn’t realize until writing up the post that every item is a freebie or a group gift. What a pleasant surprise! Clicking on the group links may open a blank tab in your browser, however if your viewer is open it’ll open the group in your viewer instead.
