Violet Cybernetics - Cold Fusion 3 Boots & Dark Tech 2 Cybersuit

Since the mass release of the 2016 Cyber Studio at the weekend (see post below), I have been working through the final two products in the studio bringing them in to 2016.

Firstly is the Cold Fusion Boots.
Originally designed back in 2009, I have to say these have remained pretty much unchanged since launch outside of the conversion to Unlimited 3 some years back.
Well, that changes today.

The old prim sculpt design is now a thing of the past. Although based on the original design, Version 3 Cold Fusion boots have been heavily breathed on and cleaned up now in full mesh.
In addition, where as the original boots were simple attachments, these new boots come in two flavours. As per the original, you get static mesh version which can be modded and edited to fit a variety of avatars. That said you also get Fitted Mesh versions.
It doesnt stop there. The boots now feature full materials, giving them a whole new advanced level of depth and detailing. And if that wasnt enough, you get three versions. Classic "Carbon inlay" design from the original boots. But you also get LTX and Verotic Leather  Boot packs - 15 leather textures and 19 Latex textures.
Finally there is the metal elements which are now Unlimited 3 Cyber texture pack compatible, as well as U3 Cyber Materials compatible.



The Dark Tech Cyber Suit has been around now for many years, and whole being upgraded here and there, not a great deal has changed with it.

Version 2 sees it brought fully up to date though.
For male and female, you now get Full materials support for ADV and Omega. so you can get that rich detail look on your mesh body.
For female, there is also the added bonus of vString Materials support too.

I would have had these out sooner if not for the grid problems this weekend and more over last night.

In total though, that is Violet Cybernetics now brought up to 2016 standards and a completed job.

Enjoy!

Violet Cybernetics Rebooted

Back in 2009 I opened Violet Cybernetic with my organic technology style design work which revolutionised the scene featured at the time full of more “robotic” style items from other creators.

Since then the Cyber Studio has remained very popular with people and has seen the evolution and upgrades to many products.

As you will have seen late last year, I surprised and shocked many in the Demon Studio with the release of the Tartarus generation of Mesh and Materials enhanced production converting over older design work to 2016 specs and its fair to say Materials transformed both the look and quality of the products.

Well, its Violet Cybernetics Turn now.

I have over the last month been slowly working through every single Cyber product, looking at, reworking, cleaning up and enhancing in mesh.

Every single product has been rebuilt and in many cases improved on.

On top of all of this, I have also created some new textures for Unlimited 3 based around the Hanabi 2.0 upgrades, and perhaps the bigger job, I have created a new Cyber only Materials system with 6 primary materials that cover both Metal and Base zones, not to mention 5 primary shine systems too. Yeah, I have been busy and its all in store now.

You want some highlights?

  

 

As usual, the products that came with updaters – Dark and Light Mech arms and legs, Wings and a number of other item – have all gone in to the update servers so just wear your updater to get the latest copy.

Needless to say , I am over the moon with the look and style of the 2016 Violet Cybernetic Reboot – come take a look in store and see what you think though.

Tartarus Male Accessories Released & New U3 Materials HUD

Following on from yesterdays release of the New Demoness Horns, Tails and Spikes, I am very pleased to announce the arrival in store of the Male versions of these accessories. In total, you now have 31 Products released on this, with six kind of new to male products in there.
For a full break down, see yesterdays post however, there is some eyecandy below.

One thing that has always bugged me though was the fact when it came to males, you dont really want a whole lot of shine going on. Back using older tech, even the lowest setting of shine make the horns look too ... polished... for males.
Sitting down this morning, I decided to take a fresh look at the male shine issues and also come up with some new materials settings to play with.
As usual, it all got out of hand.... the result is an entirely new Unlimited 3 Materials pack for the bone on these products. These are now in store - just grab the Unlimited 3 box again and you will find the male pack in the box.
With these new Materials you get 10 more "industrial" style materials options, which are rougher and darker than the female, although you could use them on the female without any issues.
The big change though is a minimal value shine factoring for the male horns. These are light shine items, with soft accents but they are still there.

I couldnt describe them if I tried... so best thing to do is try them out for yourself - U3 is always free.

Demon Studio - Tartarus Horns, Tail and Spike

Many years ago, I started a small studio on Second Life - the Demon Studio. It started with some hooves, a few tails, a few horns and some skins.
Seven years later, Second Life has changed, and its way overdue I brought those products in to the Mesh and Materials Age.

I am very pleased to announce the finalisation of a 6 month project to rework, rebuilt and completely transform the Demon Studios Horn, Tail and Spikes collection.

So whats what?
Demon Horns, Tails and Spikes in studio have been painstakingly reworked in part mesh to get around a technical problem regarding older Primitives. While doing this reworking, I have also improved on the designs cleaning up odd issues with the horns and making them smoother and more complete.
A new "Sleeve" (the metal ring covers on the horns) has been designed with the introduction of beautifully detailed gem encrusted sleeves with heavy detail work.
Materials Enhancement for the bone parts has been put in place, with 10 different Unlimited 3 Materials bumpiness options and 5 different levels of shine for metal and bone, with the option to remove materials if needed. Please note - you will need to be using Advanced Lighting Model to see Materials.
Unlimited 3 has been upgraded not only with the new Materials HUD, but a new "Tones" hud, featuring Two tone designs (shown above), and all the new Tartarus items now get special Tones versions. In addition, if you are new to Violet Studios, you can now Try before you buy. I have included for free with Unlimited the Slipstream horns, with both original and Tones format.
If you dont want to use materials that okay too. The Materials HUD also give the option to remove shine and bumpiness. In addition this first Materials HUD is just that - a first. If you want different options all you have to do is ask and I will be happy to investigate and possibly put in to production.

In total 44 heavily revised and upgraded products are now in store, and I have also again, reworked the demon studio putting the male department on the ground floor, and removing the upper floor all together. When it come to the new products you will also find they are now categorised - smallest to largest.
It should be worth noting, I have in this first batch released the Female Products. Male are still "old school" in store, however I will be doing the marketing for these ASAP and getting them out.

Here is a small selection of the revised 2016 Tartarus products look like...

I hope you like these as much as I do.

Hanabi 2.0 - Digi Wool Legs

Okay... I couldnt leave it alone...
This should realistically be the final product though and oddly enough this is almost a new product.

One of Hanabi's first products was the Paw Wool Legs.One of the last products designed was the Nightmare Digi legs which only came in a leather style.

Now, for me, the Paw Wool Legs were old... too old.
On the Nightmares, they had far superior design, but were just one option.

These new Wool Digi legs are based loosely on the Nightmare, but have been heavily reworked and cleaned up to accept the full wool texture pack. They dont feature the "collar" on the top of the legs, however technically these heavy digi style legs complete the line up.
They have Fitted Mesh or stand aloe and editable static mesh versions, materials enhancements and the full line up of original textures. The Hooves are also optional so you can wear you own feet if you want.

Enjoy (and... I have done now... :P )

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 - Cyber Goggles & Store Completed

Its been a long few weeks here converting Hanabi Worxx, however having looked through everything, I believe the most popular items have been reworked.

There are two products I may still consider redoing - the Nightmare Warmers and the Paw Boots if there is enough requests.

If there is anything else you would like to see return, please get in touch.

Finally...

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 - Dandy Officers Hat

While working away, I managed to get this done in between big jobs.
Cyber punk style officers hat, with full materials enhancements, and 18 colour change wool textures for the main hat!

Hanabi 2.0 - GcE Cevlar Suite Release

This is one I know many have been waiting for.

These updates to the Gold Cat Empire Legs follow with the other refreshing I have done. You get Static or Fitted Mesh Designs, Materials Enhanced options, plus, a bonus over the original GcE is you also get Wool Versions. The Chest also included the GcE Celvar Barret too.

They are in store now.
