Headmasters - Porcha Hair

It would be fair to say it has been a while since I last released something in the Headmasters store however I am pleased to say I got around to finishing off a hair.

Porcha is a 60's style quiff style hair with a long flex pony and part plats.
This is built in part mesh which is nothing new however it also comes with Materials enhancements and Tattoo layer head textures to add some finess to it.
In addition I have also become aware of how hair seems to affect rendering costs quite adversely.
As a result all next gen hairs will be vetted before release to ensure they do not negatively impact rendering costs too much. Porcha comes in at 16,000 or there abouts.

The full fat pack with all 72 colours is now in store for the reasonable price of 400L$

VSXM 1.5 Update (Materials & Omega)

When I built VSXM it was built on the back of years of research and development with VSX. Although fundamentally a different design idea it used the foundations of VSX and with VSX5 having being developed alongside VSXM, both products were at the time a pinnacle of my work on VSX.

That said, I still expected to be dealing with customer requests, upgrades or other items, even repair work, which is why it really came as a surprise when I looked back and realised VSXM is nearly 3 years old and in that time I have only released one minor update to it.

As many customers will have seen, I updated VSX to Version 6 recently, transferring the products over to mesh, integrating materials on to them, and introducing the Omega / ADV ready bulges and camel toes.

I am now pleased to say, VSXM has now progressed to Version 1.5.

In this update customers get both the Materials Update and the Bulge Camel Toe update, however because this is VSXM, there is something more to it.

On VSX, Materials (the technology that makes things have surface depth and shine) came as a stand alone, preinstalled item.

With VSXM, you get choices.

The new Materials HUD gives you complete control over the materials on the products. With six options for normals, and six options for specular shine over two major areas (head / shaft and Base) I have created enough options to keep everyone happy and the result is quite spectacular.

Existing customers, as per the Violet Studios Way get the update free. All you need to do is wear the updater included with your original purchase and a fresh copy will be sent over to you.

Enjoy!

Fusion Ultima Male Body Released

Short Version:

Fusion Ultima Male (Version 2) has now been released.

This is a complete, brand spanking new Version of the male body system built from the ground up with all new mesh, refined weight painting and hundreds of improvements all round. Just take a look at the above teaser... you get the idea.

All Fusion Male Bodies have brand new versions. The bodies include Genesis, Skinny, Athletic, Gladiator, Barbarian, Zerberus Demon, Drider and Mech Drider.

All Pick n Mix elements of the above bodies, as well as the Razel Hooves have all been update with brand new elements.

Wear your updater now if you own the body, visit in store for redelivery and in summation, enjoy!

New to Fusion? Check out the bodies in store - there are demos!

 

Longer Version:

Some may argue it took me long enough. However realistically Fusion Ultima has barely been out a year now and what I did with the female bodies was a huge task involving thousands of hours of design and development work.

So, when it came to looking at Fusion Ultima Male, needless to say it was the same process all over again.

As with Ultima Female, the new version 2 male bodies started life with a completely built from scratch male body. The original Fusion Male and Female bodies were based on the Second Life Avatar however when Ultima came along for the female, I decided rightly to move away from the SL mesh due to one simple fact. Its rubbish. When it comes to male bodies, as I have said previously, the SL Avatar does not have a male body, but rather a rearranged female body to look male, and as a result of that you get a lot of oddities, hence the reason why I decided to start Ultima male with a blank sheet. Outside of the hands and feet, the Ultima Male body is 100% custom built as a male body.

Thanks to a considerable number of upgrades and lessons learnt from the Ultima Female body, the new Male bodies have been seriously finessed. All the older weight painting has been ditched in favour of the Ultima weight base giving far smoother and finished body movement. The body has been tested extensively to ensure its smooth operation.

In addition to this, gone is the limited show hide zones from Fusion replaced with over 70 show hide areas. You also get the new Master Set up HUD female customers will be familiar with to control the body set up.

On the set up side, you will find Ultima Male also lives up to expectations. On the designer hud you can find (finally) materials choices to give extra surface texturing and shine to the body. The body's skin, cloth and tattoo layers are also as you would expect mapped to the Second Life body, so you can use Omega Advanced on any area. In addition, hand and feet nail options are now Omega Compatible, opening up a wide choice of nail options.

On the upgrade side, beyond what is above, the clothing layer now features a crotch bulge adding for a little extra realism around clothing and you also now get pubic hair which is optional and toggleable. In addition you get the Ultima Female neck system which offers choices over how you want to set it up. Either full neck, blended neck, or no neck.

To sum up, Fusion Ultima Male takes the idea of the male body to a whole new level offerings all the benefits you expect from Fusion Ultima in a male body. This is perhaps the most advanced body for males out there today.

Enjoy... if you missed it the first time.

Fusion - Bubblez Body & Torso released

A quick note to let you know that the new Fusion Bubblez Body has been released.
A more extreme version of the Datass Body, Bubblez comes with a Regular or Hyper Torso set up as well as all the usual Fusion Ultima features.

Because this is a PG Blog, I cant go further with pictures

You can go to the Adult Blog by clicking here

Bubblez is in store now for 1500L$ for the full body or 500L$ if you want the Pick n Mix versions

Enjoy!

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.

Tudoto Mesh Body Released

This one will probably come as a surprise.

Introducing Tudoto.

There is quite a bit of info there, but here is what you need to know.
This is a standardised body. Its not like Fusion in that you cant swap pieces out and replace them.
Its core function is to work with mesh clothing which requires one shape.

You get all of the other Fusion technical features such as Omega, ADV, Materials, Asymmetrical appliers etc.
The VSX Genitalia for Fusion will work with the body, as will the Special Legs (which have all been updated.

In some way this new body is when it comes to show hide zones superior to Fusion Ultima. There are over 100 Show hide zones with an intelligent set up system to help you get fast results (in testing setting up a generic style dress for show hide takes as little as 20 second).

But, really where this is superior in all respect is that it works very effectively with mesh clothing.
Tested over various shape files and with over 100 outfits, Tudoto worked with a good 95% of tested outfits so while its not perfect, it does an excellent job.

Being polite to the creators of these fantastic items Hilly Haalan gets all the credit for the clothing and Venus Shoes for the heels. I have provided landmarks in store to these creators.

As you can seen Tudoto is almost the opposite of Fusion with one body shape only, but offering amazing flexibility over mesh clothing.
Demos are in store for the body which comes in at 2000L$.
I have also written up a great deal of marketing data for this. Its worth a read.


On a side note, as I mentioned the Legs, I have at a customers request, build Amazon leg versions of the Furry Heavy legs too which are included in the update.

Enjoy!

Optica Eyewear Released

I wear glasses. In fact its fair to say, a lot of people wear glasses and while in this wonderful virtual world we can buy just about anything, glasses seem to be in short supply.

For many years now I have had the idea of building a range of glasses in the back of my head as the small select I found many years ago of quality glasses simply didn’t suit my tastes.

I was working on something which needed me to have a specific style of glasses and I didn’t have any. So I built some, and then some more... until you get this.

Violet Studios Optica Line. 8 Unisex Glasses, a unisex Monocle and one set of female specific glasses.

They don’t shoot rockets, or have inbuilt artificial intelligence. They are just glasses.

But they also come packed with the latest design techniques.

Full Single piece mesh construction for easy fitment, 4 area Unlimited 3 Texture and colour change systems with U3 Materials shine control for the Metal and Plastic parts and fully modifiable glass opacity with a sunglasses option.

Quality design, highly configurable, and all of this at a fantastic price.

I have enjoyed building these, but with so much variation in eyewear, its up to you if you like what you see, or if you don’t see the style you want, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Now for some Eyecandy... pun intended...

LTX - 2016 Latex and Rubber Hair Series Released

In 2010, with the launch of the LTX Studio, we introduced Latex Hairs in to the store.
And if I am honest, I forgot about them... Since that time obviously technology and our design work has imrpoved greatly and with the 2016 LTX store upgrade, I felt it was time to look at these hairs and start over.

So what do you get?
Firstly, each pack is a new price. Just 300L$ and for that you get 19 Latex options (single or two tone
design too) and 10 Rubber textures.
These new hairs also have part materials support, giving realistic shine and light reflection.
The hairs feature all new texture designs, with solid and transparent textures giving deeper realism.
The hairs have a combo of Mesh, sculpts and limited use of prims.

I will say, compared to the old selection we have fewer options now, however you still get 9
different hairs to choose from in a variety of styles and designs.
More than enough for any lover of latex.

The Neck Collar again offers options for a clean design, front laces, back laces or a zip.

Options wise, its a typical Violet Studios job. Forza LTX comes with all 19 base colours, and the seams and straps can be independently set up from the main bodies of the parts, giving huge colour combo choices. In addition you get a over 20 metal textures to play with, lace textures and for those model that use it, sole textures. You can also use the Unlimited 3 HUD to colour tint and adjust elements.

And in common with the LTX upgrade, these boots are fully materials enabled with Normals and Specular mapping, giving you beautiful light reflection.

And new for this line up, you get basic demos too. Try before you buy (although I haven’t included fully functional demos it has to be said – these are more for you to look at and try out.)

Priced extremely competitively, the LTX Forza line is the first of a series of advanced body suites so keep and eye out and as always, enjoy.

Here is the eye candy - and dont forget we do fat packs of all three boot packs for 1200, and you can get the whole package for 1750 (a saving of 1400L$).
