For those not wanting to read my Waffling, here the short version.
ADV Version 2
Since 2014, Violet Studios skins and clothes have
included our ADV Mesh Applier packs which allow you to send your skins or
clothes to mesh bodies.
I am very pleased to release Version 2 of our ADV Support
pack, which includes the new ADV to Omega Bridge. Or in short. Wearing this new
Bridge HUD will allow you to send Violet Studios Skins and clothing to any
Omega Compatible Product.
Oh, and the cost of this... nothing. Its free.
Male ADV Appliers Released
With the release of the ADV Omega Applier Bridge, I have
also been spending many hours giving myself a headache with the full on
conversion of all current Violet Studios Male Skins (Human, Demon and Vampire)
to our ADV Spec.
All current in store skins include Body and even face
HUDs which mean with a male mesh body that is compatible with Omega, you can
now use your skin.
For those customers who previously bought one of our
current skins, sadly there is no way to deploy updates. In this case, you can
find our “Grace” applier kits in store.
Both Human and Vampire, you will find in the relevant
Studio.
For Demon, you will find the Grace appliers where the
female Grace appliers are, upstairs in the Demon Studio above the female
hooves.
Okay, may have gone a little in depth there, but thats
the basics.
ADV Omega Applier Bridge – in a bit more detail.
I have many customers who adore their Violet Studios
Skins and clothes.
Verotic Skins LTX,
Verotic Clothing, Demon Studio or
Vampire Studio.
As many of you will know, since early 2014, our female
skins and clothing have included the ADV Mesh applier system and its companion
scripts to convert over to other mesh body formats.
Sadly keeping up with this has been a real pig with
constant development ongoing with scripting and new products, getting around to
actually building new scripts to work with new bodies hasn’t really been
possible.
As Fusion customers will know, on the 1.5 update we
introduced Omega support on Fusion.
I was slightly laughing at this for a while. Back during
ADV development, I have a specific set of ideas over what ADV should do and how
it should work.
What I had no clue about at the time was Love n Lust were
developing almost the same thing almost in tandem to ADV with their Omega
system.
These two systems are virtually the same thing, except
the reasons they were developed were utterly different.
ADV was designed
as an in house helper tool for me and our customers.
Omega was designed
as a mass market system for creators.
Omega has proven to be very popular with creators and
designers.
There are dozens of companies now who use omega out of
the box so to speak and many other who do similar things to what we did with
Fusion, with an activator.
Which brings us back full circle to the ADV Update and
what if, you could use your ADV appliers, and they would work with Omega?
Thanks to some innovative work from Omega and ourselves,
that is now possible with the Version 2 ADV Update.
Firstly its free. Can’t get fairer than that.
Secondly, inside the new update, you will find there is a
new object.
The ADV Omega Applier Bridge. You wear this.
Now, listen very carefully to these instructions...
1 Wear the ADV Omega Applier Bridge.
2 Wear your ADV Mesh Applier included with your skin or
clothing item from Violet Studios.
3 Press the relevant button on the Mesh Applier you want
send.
It’s now on your Omega compatible item!
Yeah – it really is that simple. And... lets just be honest here...
All you have to do is look through Omega’s Supported
project list to realise that ADV just went from 10 supported items, to bucket
loads.
You can find the ADV Version 2 Update dotted around all
the sims – easiest place to grab it is in the Customer Support Hub.
ADV Male Mesh Appliers – in a bit more detail.
Back in 2014, we released our ADV system on to the grid.
The idea was simple – one applier to support many products. However this was
rather one sided.
Everything we released was female, and the reason why is
simple. There was virtually no male mesh products on the market at the time.
Even today, I hate to say, the markets not exactly
brimmed with male products. However I may as well let the cat out of the bag.
Since last year, after the arrival of Fusion, I have had
a steady and growing stream of requests from customers for a Male Fusion body
system.
I cant give you an exact date, but very soon, Male Fusion
will be released.
But its a bit pointless if none of my own products
support this so, first step is the ADV conversion.
Expect more news on Fusion male very soon.
All Current male skins have now been updated to include
Body and even face HUDs which mean with a male mesh body that is compatible
with Omega, you can now use your skin.
For those customers who previously bought one of our
current skins, sadly there is no way to deploy updates. In this case, you can
find our “Grace” applier kits in store.
You only get the body applier with the Grace kits however
a head texture (usually the clean shaved one) is included on the applier.
Both Human and Vampire, you will find in the relevant
Studio.
For Demon, you will find the Grace appliers where the
female Grace appliers are, upstairs in the Demon Studio above the female
hooves.
Enjoy the Updates.
