Demon Studio - Male ADV2 Skin Released

Continuing with bringing everything up to date in the stores, I am pleased to announce the release of the Male ADV2 skin series.
Based around the original skins, you will find things have changed quite a bit.

Highlights from the release are:
Single base skins replace the wide array of beard options. These are still available but now in Tattoo Layer format, plus you get Omega Appliers for Mesh heads for the beards.
ADV2 Mesh Applier HUD gives you complete control with Omega Advanced built in to the HUD.
Materials Support - brand new for this release is a choice fo 7 different materials settings for the skins.

Expect more ADV2 releases tomorrow with the ADV2 Nosferatu and Verotic Skins.

Fusion Cyber Studio - Mech Drider

No sooner than I got the Drider in store, requests started flooding in for other odd ball creations, but the big one I got multiple requests for was a Cyber Mech Drider.

Who am I to argue with that, and a considerable amount of messing around later, I am very pleased to release the new Violet Cybernetics / Fusion Cross over in the shape of the Mech Drider.

This is an extreme Cyber style body with animated glow sections.
There are 12 base textures of which 6 are two tone. As per the fleshy version of the Drider, the Abdomen and Legs can be textured separately. You also have Glow control over these two areas too.

Price wise, it is 2000L$ for the complete body, or if you own Fusion already, the Torso only versionis 1000L$. You can find this both in the Cyber Studio or in the Fusion Main Stores.

Here are some extra piccies to give you a better idea.

Fusion Ultima Drider

Sometimes, things go according to plan. Other times, things just tend to happen. This one falls in to the latter category.

That is exactly what it looks like. It's a Drider.
It is also not exactly the regular fare for SL when it comes to Driders.

This is a full on Fusion Ultima Drider, built in Fitted Mesh.
It features functional legs pain stakingly weight painted to give the best illusion of independent movement. Highly detailed spider body with multiple zone texture areas, 22 two tone body textures, Abdomen overlay with 4 choices of textures. Legs and Abdomen are separate texture zones too. It comes with highly detailed materials.
The Human side matched in perfectly to the Spider body, comes with all the usual Fusion Ultima Benefits including clothing, anatomy etc. It also comes in two version - Blending in or no blend giving you choice to use the skin of your choice.
The Upper body and breasts are regular Fusion Ultima models from the Genesis body, which also means you can customise both of these areas with your choice of Breasts and upper bodies from the Fusion Range.

The Photo Shows the body using the LTX Kalis Cyber Latex outfit in black, which is not included.

Demos are available so you can try before you buy. The Full body is 2000L$ - some would say that is a steal at that price considering the detail work thats gone in to this.

Already own Fusion? Don't worry. I did a Pix n Mix Torso only too. That is 1000L$ and will match to your existing Fusion parts!

You can find the Drider in the Fusion Main stores (Pheadra and Deaths Head) and in the Demon Studio too.

Enjoy!

ADV2 Update Competed (Important)

Yesterday, I posted that I had finished the ADV2 Omega Repairs to Verotic Skins along with a Omega Hands and Feet Upgrade.

Today, I am pleased to say I have now completed the Update and Repair to all ADV2 Appliers.

Included are:

Demon Studio - Abyss, Torya, Elyssian, Elyssian Sleek Muscle and Veyra Skins. These have all had the Omega Fix and now have hand and feet upgrades to avoid the nail overlay on certain mesh bodies.

LTX - These have been repaired and reissued. There is no hand and feet appliers upgrades for these as the skin never came with nails. Included are the Original LTX skin and the Rubber Girl Skin.

Finally in Hanabi 2.0 I have repaired the Omega systems on the Zoe, Drenai and Skunky skins.

To get your updated copy of the ADV2 applier, simply follow this method

For ADV Customers - Inside the implant applier folder you will find there is an updater.  Simply wear that and a fresh copy will be sent to you.

For ADV2 Customers - Find the ADV2 Implant and Mesh body hud, and wear it - again a fresh copy will be sent to you.

Verotic Female Skins - ADV2 Update (Important)

Late last year I released the second Generation of ADV appliers, the ADV2 Hyper All in One applier covering ADV, Omega, Materials and various Implant Support.

Since its release, there were some niggling issues over how the HUD was working in Omega mode. On occasions, the HUD would texture just a part of an Omega body.
We verified that everything on our side was working correctly, so over a period of time we managed to help Omega track back the issue on their side and repair it.

This release is specifically to deal with this issue and when in Omega Mode, the applier will now work without fault.
I would like to apologise to my customers for this issue and sorry it took so long to work out.

In addition to this though is an upgrade.
Many mesh body makers out there have created their hands and feet without toe or finger nails, to give a cleaner look for their integrated mesh nails.
I have had customers mention to me that the texture nails on my skins were causing problems, and I went over to investigate how bad the problem was.

The new ADV2 update now comes with Omega specific hand and feet textures designed without finger or toe nails. The process is automated in the system, however for those who arnt using mesh nails, the system will preset the original body texture first before it sets the Omega hands and feet.

To get your updated copy of the ADV2 applier, simply follow this method

For ADV Customers - Inside the implant applier folder you will find there is an updater.  Simply wear that and a fresh copy will be sent to you.

For ADV2 Customers - Find the ADV2 Implant and Mesh body hud, and wear it - again a fresh copy will be sent to you.

The Demon Studio ADV2 applier update is currently in the works and should be out tomorrow.

Demon Studio - Iconica Horns Now Available

Iconica are very large Captial style horns that represent a bit of a departure for me, in that they are actually beautifully detailed, but very simple.
No metal or blades or gems etc. Just straight up, get the point horns.
But with a little bit of a twist.

As you can see, these are Omega and ADV ready. Where the horns join the head, there is a flesh sleeve that wraps on to the horn, and this sleeve is actually SL UV compatible with the Avatars head, to match up.
Out of the box they work with Violet Studios ADV appliers for skin, and they also include a simple HUD you can wear that will, with the Omega Installer from Omega that costs 99L$ and works with all Violet Studios Products like Fusion etc, you can use Omega appliers too.

If you dont want that though, I have also included a second version which doesnt need skin appliers but uses bones instead.
You get the usual suspects though. Regular or Tones Versions, Materials enhanced, U3 ready with 140+ textures to play with for the bone, and the Materials applier system ready.

And they are just 200L$...

Enjoy!

LTX Rebooted with ADV / Omega Materials

Since the early days of Violet Studios there has been in some form or another, a LTX Store, however the current store and product line was opened in 2010.

LTX was always about providing the highest quality latex outfits, and since it arrived on the grid, we have always been in the top 10 Latex Fashion creators, providing innovative and realistic items which has gained us a very strong user base.

Times change though, and while LTX has progressively been updated and improved over the years, its not changed enough and the product lines have stagnated somewhat while I have been focusing on other projects. Until now that is with the 2016 LTX Reboot.

So whats new with this upgrade?

Firstly, as you can probably see, the 2010 marketing and branding has been redone and not before time too. This is significant because while LTX has improved, for reasons I forget I never did the marketing saying to myself “I will do it next week”.  As a customer though you probably have been unaware of exactly what has been changing and while I put out information, I didn’t exactly make it that prominent.

Now, you have the full information available.

Then, there is the buzz word of the moment, and probably the biggest single change for 2016. Materials.

Materials have been around since 2013, however I have not exactly jumped on the bandwagon with it before this point. The reason was simple. Mesh bodies haven’t exactly taken off until the last few years and as such the need for doing materials wasn’t there. On top of that, Materials were somewhat ahead of their time. Todays graphics cards are more than capable of handling the extra rendering requirements of materials, however only a year or two back they weren’t.

All LTX Outfits and Skins now feature beautiful and exquisitely detailed Specular and Normals Mapping to provide rich shine, light reflection and bump mapping.

Included with each item, you get our in house ADV Mesh body appliers and now Materials Appliers which work straight out of the box with Fusion and other Violet Studios mesh capable products.

However, and a first here... you also get Original Omega Advanced Appliers too with texture and materials.

In addition if a product comes with prim accessories they are now also materials enhanced, and the “out of the box” Opera Ballet Shoes have been reworked in pure mesh and have materials.

For implants I have also been busy. Firstly is a move away from our original approach to Lolas originals and tangos. Previously we made these with a script install where you had to put a script in the breasts. For 2016, no need for that. The appliers now work out of the box with no need for an install. In addition, each outfit now comes with vString 4.5 Materials appliers too giving you additional depth and detailing on your vString Implants.

On the LTX and Rubber Skins, these have now been upgraded to ADV2 specification. They come with the ADV Omega ready hud, integrated implants appliers, vString Materials appliers and of course, they have a choice of different materials setting available.

If you own one of these skins already, just wear the Updater (if one is in the box) or if you have the Implant Applier HUD, just wear that - the ADV2 spec items will be sent to you.

Finally, a move I have had planned for a while now. LTX now has a brand new Studio on Deaths Head custom built to reflect the new style of LTX and I am quite pleased with that too.

As such the link to the store on the right has now change.

Some eyecandy for you... There is a lot more in store, but these are the PG models.

Scalez Mesh Bodies Update & Omega Bridge Update

Following on from the Release of the ADV2 Skin Series is the update to Scalez which will allow you to use ADV2 Make up appliers on the Scalez Macro / Micro Bodies.
Simply wear your updater to get the latest product.

Please note... Hippo Redelivery Terminals in world are now sadly broken. Hippo has been informed about this over a month ago, and they have done nothing. I will be moving over to Casper Vend shortly.

In the same vein as the Scalez Update was a minor "whoops" moment. When I released ADV2, I should have sent out an Update to the ADV to Omega Bridge too to cover the new make up appliers.
In the midst of the chaos though... I forgot.
Version 1.2 of the Omega Bridge is available in most stores now and is as always free.

Hanabi 2.0 - Moonstar

Sometimes, things just come together in a way you never imagined.

Moonstar is made up of the now updated Hanabi 2.0 Moonboots, and the heavily reworked, improved and upgraded Starcat armour.

Not much I can really say here... take a look.

Hanabi 2.0 - Wool Arms, Legs, Get Busty Top, Barret & Scarf Release

Hanabi Worxx was always best known for its Wool Baggies avatar designs, and this is something I really wanted to continue over to the 2.0 Store. However, as amazing as these products were in 2010, today they were growing very dated with the prim and Sculpt Design.

The New 2.0 Updates feature Fitted Mesh however for customers who like to mod, I have created similar stand alone versions to the original, however these are all single piece mesh items. This means easier editing, scaling etc.

 As with the design style so far seen in Hanabi 2.0, I have consolidated and simplified things.

Previously there were 11 different packs featuring similar design theories. For Hanabi 2.0, I have consolidated all these packs in to one simple hud so you now get all of these in one shot.

Finally, keeping things right up to date, you also get materials on the Wool giving a subtle depth and surface feel to the items.

Currently released in store are the Get Busty Chest, the Wool Legs, and the Wool Arms.

Finally I have also released a refreshed and consolidated version of the Barret and Scarf packs.

You get all 9 original textures with this double pack, but... you also get the standard Wool Textures now too, so you can match!

More coming soon

Hanabi Worxx 2.0 Store Relaunch

When Violet Studios Opened back in 2009, I have always had close friends and fellow builders working with me in collaboration.

One of the oldest of these business partners was theDandelion, owner of Hanabi Worxx.

Sadly earlier this year, she decided to leave the grid, partly to focus more on her commercial artwork, and partly for reasons outside of her control.

As you may have noticed a few weeks back, the Hanabi Worxx store closed down and Violet Cybernetics moved up there however the plan was never to completely close the store down.

In our last conversation outside of SL, Dande transferred the rights to her store to me, and gave me licence to recreate her products and at the time I had decided to bring back a small number of her best sellers.

Recreating Hanabi Worxx is however a far more complex and convoluted task than it may sound. The Hanabi Worxx product lines were by todays standards very old, if still brilliant.

The process of recreation has taken me longer than I thought.

The first job really was to take a look at the complete store and its products, and which products should be recreated and which should go.

After a great deal of deliberating, I can confirm that all mesh outfits,  Clothing, a number of avatars and other the Hanabi VSX items sadly will not be coming back. However there are many products that are.

Introducing Hanabi Worxx 2.0

Hanabi Worxx 2.0 takes the original spirit of Dande’s store, and bring it in to the modern mesh era.

This initial release features many products you will be familiar with, but with a whole new twist to them.

As this is a PG blog, I cant show you everything picture wise, but I can give you a breakdown.

Moon Stomper 2.0 take what was a classic design from Hanabi and utterly turns it on its head. The original versions were prim and sculpt. The new ones are single piece fitted mesh. Featuring complete Violet Studios Texture reworks built from scratch, they include full materials support too, as well as Unlimited 3 Cyber integration.

Price is 500L$

Bulge String 2.0 at first glance is almost the same as the original, but that is just skin deep. Again, this new Version come in 4 piece mesh, with easy manual adjustment for the side belts now included. Unlike the original “multi vendor” options, you get all 11 Basic strings in one pack with Unlimited 3 control, plus you get 8 new Rubber textures for the bulge.

Price is 300.

Nightmare Tail 2.0  -This tail should be very familiar as it is just a straight conversion, however where it is different is the fact you now get full Headmaster 4 textures with 72 different tail hair textures on offer. At 300, this is very neat.

Hanabi Insanity Make up Line – As with all Hanabi Worxx skins, they came with integrated make ups in the skin, however I have recreated 5 of Dande’s best make ups in the new ADV2 Make up style.

Price is 150 each or 500 for the fat pack.

Drenai Avatars – I loved these original avatars. The updated 2.0 Avatar brings all new tech. First you get all 3 primary avatars (Tiger, Panther and Leopard) in one box, you get ears, horns and tail as per the original. Hooves now include the Skizma Fitted Mesh hooves, with clothing layers. You also get hair, eyes, shapefile too. Most important though, these are ADV2 Spec. That means you get implant appliers for Tangos, vString, Icon and Ecorp. You also get ADV2 mesh body appliers with Materials support, and as per ADV2 specs, these are compatible with Omega Advanced. Price is 1600.

Just need the skin update for the Drenai? Then that is available too. You get the same ADV2 specs, with the skin (including the reworked and improved face) – price is 600 for all 3 and will bring your Drenais up to date.

Skunky 2.0 – Refreshed and reinvigorated, Skunky 2.0 features the upgraded Skunky skin, with again Full ADV2 specs (implants, mesh body and omega advanced), Mesh Ears, a recreated Mesh Skunky Tail, and the Fusion Anthro Heavy Legs. Price is 1200 or if you just want the skin only update with the same ADV2 specs, that comes in at 400.

Tattoo – With reworking, I have released the refreshed versions of the Cumoflage and Star Tattoos. These come in full tattoo layer SL body styles, and you also get ADV spec Tattoo layer appliers, which are also via the Violet Studios Omega Bridge compatible with Omega too. Priced at 150 Each these are excellent Value.

These refreshed products are in the original Hanabi Worxx store now. Customers do need to note that these are not updates. They are for the most part completely refreshed products and sadly I wont be doing update for existing customers.

Coming next is the Woolie’s Spagetti project  which should appear in store soon. This has been probably the biggest headache of the Hanabi 2.0 project but are nearing completion now.

Also the Partner to the Moon Stompers is coming with a massive style update – the Star Cat Armour.

There will also be a hand full of other items such as her hats etc.

I am hoping to have the first parts of these project out within the next day or two.

I hope you like these fresh looks at Hanabi Worxx.

Verotic / Demon Studio Make ups

Adding more to the line up, comes two new Gothic Style make ups.

Starting with Aemon
With a series of unique differing lip designs, intense eyeshadows and unnatural veins over the face, Aemon gives that dark and delicious design style.

Next up is one I have always thought of doing but never got around to it.
Industry is a two tone lip design with extra heavy eye shadow. The make ups are variations on a colour theme, giving you a perfect choice.

Both of these make ups, as you can see from the marketing are available in both the Demon Studio and Verotic Skin Studio.
Individual make ups are 150 each, with fat packs of all 5 coming in at the discounted 500L$

Verotic / Cyber Studio - Geishya Make up

Geishya comes in 5 different colours of make ups offering unique cyber hex style blushers, with a light fresh tech eye shadow and a glossy smear style lip design.
Individual prices are 150L$ each or 500 for all 5.

Its available in the Verotic Store, or the Cyber Studio.

As with all ADV2 makeups, these make ups come with build in ADV appliers for Fusion etc, and also via the omega bridge, you can also apply these to any Omega ready Mesh Head.

Viicious Body Arts Update

Normally I don't blog about other companies products, however Viicious is a bit of an exception as its been part of the Violet Studios family since 2010.
Those who know Viicious will know there are some fantastic tattoos in there, however due to RL the store really hasnt been updated since 2011 which is a shame.

I am pleased to say though, working with Vii, we have created and updated all current tattoos in store to include ADV Mesh Appliers.
What this means is with the ADV Omega Bridge, you can use all of their tattoos, with any Fusion, Wideloads, Scalez, product, or... any Omega compatible product!

Thats quite a big list.

Fusion Male - Zerberus Demon Body & Razel Tartarus Hooves

Zerberus continues the Fusion male mesh release but with a more demonic twist offer that sought after heavy lower body design.
Featuring a unique Torso (also available from the pick n mix as a separate item), the body comes with the Gladiator Upper body and arms, and also includes male Universal basics (so if you wanted to go human using this body as a basics, all you would need is a Torso).
As with the human Fusion male spec, you get ADV applier and Omega Support built in.

The body is 1500L$, and the Pick n Mix Torso is 500L$ and its available in store now.

Not in the Mood for Heavy Demon Legs... something a little more reasonable in size?

Then you may want to look at the Razel Hooves. Designed on a similar line to the Female Hooves, you get all 5 primary body matched legs in the box, with clothing layers and all the usual Fusion features, except you dont get Stand alone legs with these.

They come in at 600L$ and are the perfect demonic companion to the Fusion Male Bodies.


Finally, I am pleased to say this finishes off the Phase 1 Fusion Male Release, however I can say that Phase 2 is already in the works and unlike Fusion female, the release will be arriving very soon.

Keep watching!
