a cupple suggestions..

Well these may have already been posted but they are good so its okie to bring em up again if they have hehehe


1) A cloth primitive, cloth physics or cloth matierial option- This would have many benifits. I can think of so many things that would be cool blowing in the wind or swaying with the rhythm of the trees.

2) A skirt option on the avatar apperance - This would prolly eliminate some lag hehe. Not only that but to have the skirts look more naturally 'laying' on the av's body would make it look more realistic. And I'm sure all the dress/skirt makers out there will agree with me on this... it is a pain in the bum to adjust a primitive skirt to fit an av just right, and if your
selling them, lol, then you basically have to fit it to the buyers body just right or it wont look right. It would make for some interesting dresses with the av's skirt and prims added on.

3) A swimming animation - hehe pretty self explanitory,

4) Ability to sit on hollowed prims - I have made a cupple things that would make great sitting places that were hollow primitives. I wasnt able to make it look just right without using a hollowed prim.

5) A switch to turn run on/off - Yes run is there, but its inconsitant. sometimes walking is too slow, and flying is too fast. Being able to chose to run would be a nice medium 'tween the two.

6) More realistic makeup options - I dont know about you guys, but irl, I dont plaster eyeshadow on my eyes, i blend... ehhe. I think that was the intent of the opaque option.
and yeah... you can make a text to make it look how u want.
but, for newbs or people who have a hard time with lining up text's just right, maybe a softer looking eyeshadow, blush and lip stick? Oh and the lip gloss, humm well i dont know if its appropreate to state this on the boards, but i'll try to do it in a clean way hehe... humm when you put lip gloss up 100% it looks kinda like humm, :/ well.. hehe.. hmm I dont know quite how to put it in a 'PG' way hehe.. i'll just leave it at that. But if someone more conservative were to play with the lip gloss, they may get offended.

I think thats it for now,

1) After Havok 2 maybe? (Havok is the physics engine SL uses, currently version 1. 2 is out but they havn't moved over yet).

2) Again I think maybe sometime after Havok 2.

3) & 4) Yeah.

5) Run is there??? How? I would -really- like a run that was a split in the difference between flying and walking speed.

6) I don't use makeup.

I would also like running.

Number 6 could be done with a head tatoo with some good alpha work. Not by me, mind you, but it's _possible_.

A note on running.

I personally would like a couple WALK and FLY speeds. Maybe if user configurable.

I have a real problem some times navigating.
Mainly due to lag and OVER shooting my targets.

This is close enough to one of my 'getting to be a pain in the butt' issues with AV customization.
Basically my problem is with the AV skin color. Hey, i'm glad it's there, but there are some limitations. Such as tone and shading...there isn't any. Well you can make the color more or less intense, but you can't say, make your skin color a dutch-blue. You can make it light-blue or BRIGHT-blue, but no shades of it. I think you can get the picture. Oh sure, i could fire-up PS7 and do my own skin color, but that mean i have to do my own definitions/wrinkles/texture, which if you don't mind me saying - is a pain in tha ass. At least the way i've tried it and at my skill level. The only way i've seen to apply new skin color is to do it as a tatoo, and that overwrites other AV skin effects; wrinkles, freckles, etc...
Anyway, it just seems to me that adding some additional control over our skin-color would be very helpful.

um this walk/run speed adjustment is already in game, just change the multiplier in the flight script. I have one with four speeds at the moment. Walk, jog, sprint, PLAID. heh if you want one, for you non-scripters, send me an im.

as to the skin coloring, if you make the coloring part of an alpha channel(not entirely see-through, but mostly) then you will keep all of the wrinkles and what not, and just have a cast of the color across your body... or at least in theory you should. alpha channel that is black is 100% transparent, white is opaque, and any shade of grey between is supposed to be some percentage of transparency. I will test this tonight to see if i can get it to work.

right well you can upload an image, like the one i described before, and make it your skin/shirt/whatever tone, and you keep all of your wrinkles, and get your color. attached is a zipped tga file that you can look at the alpha channel in your image editor of choice that shows you what i mean.
