It actually looks better than I expected, but everything using materials usually looks great at DeBasement. For some reason SL refuses to go lower than 380 triangles for the lowest LOD so I’ll have to make a custom mesh for it.

After reshaping the spade to a more pleasant profile, it took me a while to decide how I was going to make the blood effect, but I’ve come up with a really nice way to do it.

It looks even nicer with some normal mapping to give the blood a little bit of thickness.

BUT… This is too much. I mean it’s a metal riding crop, not a spear!

I think I’ll make the blood overlay a lot shorter, focus on the spade and maybe 1/3rd of the stem.

A bit more “tasteful” wouldn’t you agree?

I’m making a new crop, with a bit more bite I guess.

I won’t use that hollowed out tip tho, it looks way too much like an arrowhead in my opinion.

I’m also not sure if I should accentuate the cutting edge on that spade or leave it as it is.

So exciting.

I’ve made available two new rooms of the undercity, they aren’t fully furnished or anything yet but I figured that they where good enough to add to the currently available sections.

I swear someone is going to accuse me of click baiting with those pictures.

I swear it’s the fault of this project and I won’t do it again once I’m done with it.

What remains on the to-do list: The Japanese writings, and I would also like at least 1 or more area specific doodle for each area.

It turns out I still had some bugs in the body doodle code, related to page navigation, so I only had the time to add 3 or so doodles from my list (boy toy/rape me/lick me to name them). I also had to waste a bunch of time on a few Linux related problems.

Overnight I came up with those two variations for the Hired Help uniform, but I don’t really know if it is worth completing for release (who care about these really?).

If you’ve never worked with avatar 2.0, chest size comes in a 4 sizes solution: Flat, small, normal, large. It’s usually what stops a lot of creators from supporting this body properly, but it isn’t THAT bad really, as long as you do your work on the normal size, you don’t have too much to do in term of adjustments.

The doodles all use the same space but I’ve adjusted the UVmapping for each chest type to account for distortion.

As it turns out, drawing those isn’t the longest step. Adding them into the system on the other hand takes 30-45 minutes for each drawing if it is available for all the body sections. That is something I grossly underestimated.

I drew about 20 new ones today but could only implement a handful of them.

EDIT: I aparently forgot to censor, silly me.

So that’s the last “major” multi-step decal I needed to do for the whole body, I wasn’t home for a couple of days, I need to get back into it.
