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...

Redesigning the Violet Studios Sims.

As you will have noticed I have been busy working on redeveloping our sims of late, compressing the structure down so it is easier to see everything we do.

As a result, several store have now moved to new locations, some minor moves, some major.

As you will have seen LTX opened a new high tech store on the Deaths Head sim. I can now confirm this is the new LTX main store, and the original store is now decomissioned.

Verotic clothing has also moved to the space next to the new LTX store. I had thought about another unit, but as Verotic clothing will have new additions coming, I though it best to have some space available.

If you hadnt noticed, Beholder moved to Deaths Head quite some time back, now located on the ground level under the Cyber Studio (which also moved).

Next to Beholder is the updated Headmaster Store which is almost in the same place, but down a level.

To finish up, is an ongoing move.
Those who have had a quick fly around the sim will have noticed other changes too, specifically the introduction of mall spaces on the lower level, and the move Viicous Tattoos in to the main bowl area.
These spaces are specifically to take renters from the Busty Village / All Meshed Up mall and the transfer of stores to the new Bowl is in progress.
Once the original mall has been cleared, I will be removing it completely.

As a result of these changes, the access to Sveller Labs has been changed, and while a little sad to say it as it took so long to build, the Caldera Project on Pheadra has been removed.
Dont worry though - the Deaths Head side is still open and I wasnt going to delete the Worlds End pub, which has now moved to the Deaths Head Sim part of Caldera.

I have updated the Landmarks on the side so you can get to where you are going.

Fusion Modular Fitted Mesh Body System released

For many months now, its not exactly been a secret that Violet Studios have been working on a Mesh body. In fact, the development process has been going for near enough 6 months.

Finally though, the rumours become reality with the release of Fusion - perhaps the most advanced body system ever seen on SL.

The name Fusion wasn’t an accident. It sums up what the Fusion Mesh system is all about.
Utilising well thought out design theories, innovative creation methods, Fusion is capable of virtually unlimited combination, giving users thousands of body configuration options, all in a neat, easy to use package.

Mesh bodies have often been beautifully built, but highly inflexible items. By comparison, the stock avatar can offer far more flexibility but is more lacking due to the fact you are attaching parts that will never be truly seamless.

This is where Fusion is very different.

Fusion is a modular body. What this means is, its built in different pieces. So, if you buy the Fusion Genesis full body, in the Folder you will find there are separate objects for the Arms, Chest, Nipples, Finger Nails, Torso, Legs and Feet. By wearing all of these items together, you assemble the body in its pieces to form a seamless whole.

However, because Fusion is constructed in this way, it means you can swap out pieces of the body and replace them with completely new pieces. As an example, you already own the Wideloads Classic’s Butts, and the vString Revolution Petites.
All you need to do is grab the latest update to these and you will find a new Fusion Box in each of them which you should unpack. Inside the Revolution Petite box, you will find there are now Fusion Chest modules and Fusion Nipples for each of the Petite models. Inside the Wideloads you will find there are Fusion Torso and legs for each of the Classic Models.

Wearing the Genesis body, and wearing as an example, the Fusion Petite “Melon” breasts and nipples, and the Wideload Classic Fusion Hourglass Torso and Legs, you have now got a full body with the elements from both the Revolutions and Wideloads.

However, this is the important bit. These elements are seamless.
There is no seam joints where the breasts meet the body, and no line where the butt meets the waist. Whats more, these work with the majority of Windlight settings so you can be assured that for almost all Windlight settings, you and the people viewing you, will not see any ugly or unsightly lines.

Its clear when you look at whats available on the market today, Fusion is (as you would expect from the Innovators at Violet Studios) a completely new and intelligent quantum leap forward in mesh bodies

But I think I should stop the marketing  pitch here. Needless to say, the full information is available in store. I could go on for hours about the huge features list Fusion offers customers.
There are demos in store.
You can choose from:
Genesis - this is a classic SL style avatar body that will work with many designers mesh attachment
Supermodel - a slender but sexy style femme
Athletic - realistic more muscular and toned
Amazon - rather over the top for me, but atypically, very feminine
Ruben - a plumper more rounded body
Andro - a less feminine style body, but surprisingly sexy.

All of these bodies come in at 1500L$

There is also our Special edition mutli stage pregnancy body with 7 different stages and unique breast designs which is coming in at 2000L$

All of these work with vString Revolution Fusions and Wideloads if you so choose.

Check Fusion out by heading to the Polymorph store (its inbetween the VSX and vString Stores on Pheadra)

vString Revolution Helium & 4.2 Release, Wideload 1.2 Update, and Style Heels V4 update

vString Revolution Helium and 4.2 Release

I am proud to announce the arrival of the new vString Revolution Helium Model as well as the awaited release of the Version 4.2 Update to the Revolutions overall.

As this is Adult, full details can be found here.

Wideloads 1.2 Update

Continuing our ongoing commitment to bringing you the very best products on the market I am please to announce the release of  Wideloads V1.2.

For 1.2 we have extensively looked at the way the textures seat so they are as smooth and realistic as they can be. In addition we have also included a new “Pants Flare” extra piece.
The most important update is the release of a Fusion Ready Lower Body for each of the Wideloads, so now you can, using the Fusion Mesh bodies, have a seamless lower body with no windlight issues.

If you choose to buy a Fusion Body, all you need to do is wear the relevant Wideloads Fusion Torso and Legs modules and the body is now wearing seamless and windlight independent Wideloads!

See the Polymorph Studio for more details on Fusion & how it works.

 

Style Heels Version 4 Update

With the Release of Fusion, we have now released an updated model for All style heels that combines the best of the original design with all the advanced skin and clothing options found on Fusion.

If you are thinking of a Fusion Mesh Body, then grab the update.

ADV Version 1.01 Release – Wowmeh, Ghetto Booty & Manoua’s Muscles

In March 2014 after an eyewatering amount of time in development, I proudly released the ADV Applier system on to the grid.

ADV, our ADVanced Mesh Applier system, is a massive technical innovation designed to give customers fast simple access to Violet Studios Skins and Clothing by simply cutting out the need for thousands of separated appliers, and rather building scripts to control various products.

At the time of launch, I am not sure if customers really understood what ADV was about, but a few did come forward and asked if I would look at some products. And now, I can show those customers who have bought an ADV Skin or Clothing item what this system really can do with the first major update to ADV.

At the launch, ADV only really had one script install product, specifically for Phat Azz.

Now, I do have to apologise to customers here, but if you have installed the Phat Azz script previously, you will find there is a V1.1 script in the update. This has been done to take advantage of both clothing layers, so I would recommend that you remove the original script and replace it with the new 1.1 script.

Joining the Phat Azz scripts you will find three new products joining the line up.

We have produced a script to fit in to the uLukie Ghetto Booty.

Also, you will find we have produced another pair of scripts for the Manoua’s Muscle Body Range.

Finally, the much mentioned Wowmeh Fitted Mesh bodies have now got the ADV scripting too.

So, with Version 1.01, you have skin and clothing ADV options for  Polymorph (at the moment just the Wideloads), Phat Azz, Sking Brazillia, Ghetto Booty, Manoua’s Muscle Bodies, and the Wowmeh Body.

As always, ADV is an interactive process between Violet Studios and our customers.

As long as a item you have uses the SL Body textures, its Mod, and its set up in a predictable way, we can most likely convert that product to work with ADV, and then open up new options not just for you, but for other customers as well, and very quickly too.

Send a note to Hemi Violet, and I will arrange to meet up and take a look and see how I can help.

So... finally.

Where do you get the Update?

The 1.1 Update is free so don’t worry about that.

I have put out the update in several spots around the Violet Studios main stores.

You can find it in

The Customer Service centre (that’s in the middle of the lake)

Verotic Skins Main Store (teleport Landing area – its behind the Desk)

Demon Studio – Whats new Area (look on the boards by the stairs)

LTX Store – in the Teleport landing area

Verotic Clothing – its at the landing area and dotted around the store too.

Enjoy the Update!

**** ADDENDUM****

Seems like inbetween our initial research and development in to Manoua's Muscles, there has been an update released which has changed the design.
We have just done a minor fix on the original scripts which deal with Pre Version 1.6 models of Manoua's Muscle Bodies, and we have create a whole new line up of Version 1.6 scripts which now give you access to the lastest body.
If you have already got copies of the script and dont have the 1.6 versions, pop back to store and grab the updated box.
Sorry about that
 

Verotic & LTX Clothing – ADV Mesh Applier system

This is a short update with a large implication – In March 2014 we released after a vast effort our ADV System designed to apply Skins to other people mesh products.

This was always going to be part 1 though, as there was a second system that needed to be looked at – the ADV Clothing project.

Virtually all mesh body part replacement systems on the grid, including our own Polymorph lines feature a two layer clothing set up.

The ADV Clothing Applier system has taken every Violet Studios clothing product for sale at the moment, and converted them at great cost (wanna see a migrane?) to the ADV System.

What that means is, in one quiet but powerful swoop, all of Verotic Clothing and LTX is now featuring the ultra flexible ADV applier which is effectively a swiss army knife when it comes to mesh.

At this moment, this means that with the ADV scripts installed in your products of choice (these are available for free in store), you can apply to Polymorph (at the moment just the Wideloads), Phat Azz, Sking Brazillia, Ghetto Booty, Manoua’s Muscle Bodies, and the new Wowmeh Body.

See the above posting for more on the ADV 1.1 Release, and remember, as time goes on, ADV will be adding more products to its supported list, giving you semi future proofed compatibility in a fraction of the time that building traditional appliers would, plus its so much simpler to work with.
