shapes

does anyone know what shape that celestial studios uses ..or another pretty feminine shape?

right click => appearance. move all those nice sliders around for about an hour or so

i would have done that ..if i was skiled in that area or had that time ..which is why i would prefer to buy someone elses expertise.

yeah I know, but its sad, our shape is one of the things that can make us truly individual in SL, it's a shame people all want to go for the 'same' shape again and again. Sorry I couldn't help with the answer you wanted.

no worries, again ..thank you for your comments

This is why shapes for sale should always be modifiable. I think of them like . . . Oh, like a patch on a synthesizer. It's easy to make a new sound/ timbre on a synthesizer, but a little harder to make a nice one. So I think musicians buy some preset patches and then tweak them to get a more unique, but still nice, sound. Shapes should work this way.

I still recommend using the sliders. Choose the basic avatar closest to how you want to look and just make minor adjustments. That's what I did. My skin is Celestial Studios, by the way - I recommend as good, slightly understated and natural look.

Some of us just don't have the eye or the touch to make a shape that looks half way decent. If you can, wow, great, wonderful. For those of us who can't "use the sliders, it is so so easy" is useless.

Try these shops -

Torrid Midnight's
Haver Cole's
Naughty Island
Nomine
Here Comes Trouble

You can try my shop too, but I didn't want to make this an ad for me.

Anyone can make a house in SL too. Some are better at Shapes, some are Better at houses.

Id suggest buying a shape that has Mod/Copy Permissions.

That and one of the problems with SL is everyone is praising of each other's appearance all the time.

If someone did come up with a bad looking shape on their own, no one would tell them to their face.


-----------------
Same goes for builds. You can see a build with lots of bad seems and texture bleed etc. If I bet you 200L that someone told that person it was a great build, I'd win.

All those garish clubs out there - have tons of people saying how great they look ..

Colette does do really good female shapes.

shameless plug

I will be putting up some shapes for sale soon, you can see one of them in another thread here, it is with a skin I made

been seeing a lot of folks asking about shapes so figured why the heck not sell the ones I made

if no one buys then I am not out anything (unlike skins, clothes, etc, where it does cost to upload all the textures)

well it will cost to upload the ad image but that is just one upload hehe

taco taco taco has nice shapes- she has petite, average, model, thick....she also puts dress shapes in and if not ask her she'll make it no charge.

I have to say in over a year in SL I still tweak my shape here and there. Good luck in finding that perfect shape (and you'll probably end up adjusting it just make a backup in case of troubles)

QFT. You guys remember my Saudi friend, Wassa? I sent Colette some photos of Wassa in RL and commissioned a shape for her. Excellent job, and Wassa was very pleased.

I have to ask, what the heck is QFT??
I know what IBL is (in before lock) and FYI (for you information) and ftw (for the win) and imho (In my humble opinion) and a few others

but not QFT, have seen it in a few posts, now I am curious what it means
