They're all the same color with the lights out sweetie!

OMG did I just say that out loud? :)



Well except in Second Life. Where "Midnight" is lighter than I keep my RL house in the daytime. And they have quite invented the feel-o-tron yet. SO visual is all we've got to go on.

You did just type that out loud, yeah. Its okay though, I forgive ya. =p

The sad thing is; I have in all honesty considered taking photos of my Kawk for my SL appendage. But that was when I was playing around with the whole "SL Sex" scene.


If that causes anyone to stop shopping at my store , I was just kidding.

I was just thinking about the technicalities....how to make the images seamless and stuff...JUST HYPOTHETICALLY! :D

the problem is that LL uses different lighting systems for avatars and prims. it´s a real pain in the ass for many creators. and i don´t get it why it is that way...
(well i don´t get many things LL does: havok 1.x is the number one reason for sim crashes-we could have havok 4.x, still have the same old av creation tools/models, horrible simborder crossing, bad prim animation(bones anyone?) but hey we got voice ;)

Yes, thank you. It seems certian that in addition to talking, Penis Prims should be equiped with lights.

K, so lets figure out the texture problem. C'mon people I dont have all day. I have a Date at 10 and I want him to match.

Turns out Caucasian Concealed Appendages tend to be noticeably ruddier than the rest of their owners' bodies- may have something to do with greater blood flow to the appendages, FTW (ladies, this is a GOOD thing, trust me). Can't speak to Asian or black; not my dpartment. So some color mismatches may actually be more realistic - though I'm not sure how much that has to matter in SL.

Thank God ladies' Concealed Places don't have these sorts of issues; men have enough angst just getting to them.

I can tell what is normal skin coloration changes and the glaring mismatch that occurs in SL, thank you very much. Maybe guys need to download more porn of naked men and do some comparison color matching.

I soooo am not carrying around a spotlight for my junk. WTF? Do you want me to dress it in a little tuxedo and teach it to dance like that talking frog in the Bugs Bunny cartoons?

And now, presenting, the Amazing Trout Jr.!! (Curtain raises - spotlight center stage, cue music)

Crowd: Oooooh...Ahhhhhh (big round of applause)

Trout Jr.: Hello my honey, hello my baby, Hello my ragtime gaaaaal.

Nope. No way in hell am I getting special pants monkey lighting.


Dear Mr. Recreant,

I am writing on behalf of my client, Ms. Lindal Kidd. The above quoted forum post has caused her to injure herself laughing. The term I believe she used is "bust a gut". Accordingly, my partners and I have filed suit against you on her behalf, in the amount of $L 10,000,000. We would appreciate speaking with you and your chosen counsel at your earliest convenience to discuss settlement of this matter.

Why cant the skin of his prim match the rest of him?


I hear all those male-enhancing drugs change the skin pigment...and then it shrivels up and falls off!!!

I just don't get the phenomenon anyway. The guy behind that beautiful buff avatar is probably some 300-pound Quasimodo sitting at his desk in stained underwear, eating Cheetos. Oh yeah, and living in his parent's basement at 33. ;-)

Ewww. No Thanks.

I recently found out one of my "friends" is 38 and living in his Mom's basement. And he didnt match either.

Of course had he matched, at least he would have had that going for him.

I would consider them matching to be an enhancement, yes. Or an Upgrade.

I think it was merged with the Why aren't furries allowed to gamble in Church while eating pie thread.

BTT: I went to buy a hilariously expensive skin for my male alt. It came with a free dick. Guess what? in most lighting conditions it doesn't match. DANG. It's kinda...glowy, too...:D

lol, Sensations does but, given the proximity of the parts, I don't believe it's intended for pleasuring two *people*

I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness. You are an enigma - on the one hand a sweet, gentle, intelligent woman who we would like to wrap up in our arms and protect, and on the other, a temptress to whom we would like to do all sorts of unmentionable things.

Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut.

The Xcite-tint-your-junk board just gets you close. You still need to...um...play with it to get the color right, which is difficult, because your skin has shading that is different colors, so what do you match it to? Then, in different lighting sometimes it still looks off. Not that I would have a lot of experience with this sort of thing...or whatever.


What he said is correct, you can take a skin shot of your avatar skin and apply it to the attachment and it will still look different, close but different. SL renders textures on prims different from textures on avatars.

OK that is just TOO classic. LOL! But there is just no way on God's green earth that I would let somebody photograph my cootchie for an SL skin. You'd have to pay me a LOT of money.


Does that mean I have to give back those snapshots?
