Diary
Hello everyone. Oscar here again.
I did many things today so the title of the article is “Diary” today.
As I wrote in my previous article, I bought a skin from “Essences”.
This skin is going to be my alternative skin when I feel like changing my image.
I also acquired their shape as well.
I tend to keep the image the creators has intended and add little modification to match my preference. First thing I did today was modifying my shape.
I’m not going into detail or write figures of how big or small my eyes and noses are, but I made my head and eyes smaller, arms shorter, legs longer, torso shorter, etc, etc. I don’t think I’m done yet, but I will go at it whenever I noticed anything I want to change.
This new skin looks great with darker hair, or at least that i what I thought.
I stopped by ARGRACE to buy dark short hair. I found just the kind of hair I was looking for.
After that, I went to Essence Main Store to see if they have skin applier for Maitreya Lara. Yes! They have appliers for newer skins and the one I bought was one of their newer product line. Its so nice see the body attached seamlessly.
I just can’t take theses jeans off. I just love it. I decided to wear new skinny jeans from Blueberry.
As for tops, I stopped by COLLABOR88. They are finally getting less crowded and this was my second time successfully teleorting to the sim.

Slink Physique
Hello everyone. Oscar here again.
Yesterday I wrote that I was not albe to find Slink Physique in my redelivery list there for I could not get the update. I contacted Slink rep, and they replied pretty fast. I received the updated version today. (Just to be on the safe side, update was released sometime in the passed. I was just too lazy and did not attempt get it until yesterday.)
The Bikini I bought yesterday also fits Slink Physique.
Why not try them on. Right?
The only thing was, I just couldn't match the skin color with my S@R W005. Hybrid Avatar Nae was easier to match the skin.
Here is Slink Physique version.
If you would like to see the difference between Physique and Bellenza, also check out my previous post.
If you are interested in the bikini I'm wearing, please check out my previous posting.

Evolution
Hello everyone. Oscar here again.
I often go away from Second Life from time to time when RL becomes too busy but I am a long term Second Life resident.
I have seen how things were in the past.
I have seen how things evolved.
I’m seeing how things are now.
When I started Second Life, the overall graphic quality was very poor comparing to what we see now.
Ocean and sky looked so dull because there were no windlight or atmospheric shader settings.
Sun and moon light didn’t create shadows.
Clothes looked like well-drawn body paintings because it was just textures applied to avatar.
Second Life with no windlight. clothing were textures and prim attachments.
Back those days, it was all about how well you can draw textures.
Later on, prim attachment became a trend.
Collar and cuffs made of prim was the first things creator started adding to their products.
After the implementation of sculpted prim, not only apparel but the whole building and creating came to a turning point.
Creators started creating not only Collar, cuffs, and hems but also Jackets and even hair out of sculpted prim.
The down side of sculpted prim was slow loading.
People were looking ridiculous while sculpted prims were loading because while it is loading, it was nothing more than a bunch of sphere.
LOD setting was also an issue.
SL viewer with low LOD setting didn’t show sculpted prim well.
Zooming out from sculpted prim caused it to even disappear.
In a laggy sim, I often turn my settings low. I saw many people bald and naked.
Avatar physics was introduced to second life.
All the girls were having fun jiggling boobs and guys were staring at them.
Avatar physics fever didn’t last that long because the implementation of mesh was so sensational.
Jiggling boobs were protruding from mesh clothes, so girls had to give up the jiggle.
Creator of second life was trying to figure out how to go about the size of the clothes.
Each avatar is unique and it is impossible to please everyone with the mesh product.
Mesh was non-resizable.
Soon after, creators started using a “standard sizing” to create mesh clothes.
If I remember correctly, there are total of 5 sizes ranging from XXS to L (XXS, XS, S, M, and L).
Each size has specific figures to what certain body parts size should be.
“Standard sizing” cleared up problems of not being able to wear mesh clothes, but it has killed the uniqueness or avatar.
No mesh clothes yet, but windlight and advanced light settings were implemented.
Finally long waited fitted mesh was introduced to Second Life.
Mesh became resizable.
Body or a body parts made of mesh was already becoming popular, but the real popularity in Mesh body became evident after the implementation of fitted mesh.
Wowmeh was popular fitted mesh body, but unfortunately it disappeared due to copyright dispute.
It’s not like I’ve done a research, but SLINK physique and Maitreya Lara is probably the most popular fitted mesh body now.
Girls can giggle their boobs again with latest mesh products because avatar physics can be applied to fitted mesh.
Now clothing follows the movement of avatar.
We no longer see skirts going through our legs anymore.
Fitted mesh brought uniqueness back to avatars.
present day
So what’s next?
This is my opinion as a resident of Second Life who enjoys shopping and fashion.
Mesh is all good and fitted mesh, even better.
The only thing that bothers me is a lack of “flexibility “especially when wearing long or flared skirts.
Mesh skirts looks like as if wearing a plastic armor in a shape of skirt.
If Flexi skirt that does not go through avatar when worn can be created/invented, this could be the greatest invention in Second Life.

It's been a long time
Hello everyone. Oscar here again... well. I know its been a long time.
I just did not feel like coming to SL for a long time.
Out of the blue, I came back today.
Things has changed!
There are variety of mesh body now all over the place.
I figured I should buy one, and bought Maitreya Lara.
I think Lara has better control of alpha layer than some other mesh bodies.
After buying the body, I stopped by Blueberry.
Their new jeans and tanktop with shoulder jacket look really good!
I don't know if I would come back to SL or will be absent again for a while.
One thing I'm sure is that I'm not going to quit.
