~Jeanette's Joint~ is thrilled to unveil the first line of Rigged Mesh clothing for your cherished avatar. Wave one includes full outfits, coordinating separates, formal wear, casual gear, footwear and styles for every purpose.<br />
<br />
There are even a few non-mesh (sculpted and system-layer) items that are brand new to the store to compliment your mesh selections.<br />
<br />
The textures used on the ~JJ~ Mesh line are of very high quality and full or sharp detail. Seams are meticulously designed for realism and eliminate those abrupt edges that plague so many other designs. Subtle edging effects are baked in for more rich, lifelike results. Accessories and trim are included with many of the designs to present a gorgeous finish. There are so many patterns and styles to choose from, you are sure to find several fit for your most frequent needs and desires and even something special for that one-of-a-kind engagement.<br />

<br />
I am taking a break from promoting my wares this post to ~hopefully~ pass along some useful tips for those SL merchants who could use a little advice to improve sales, enhance their brand's image and increase customer satisfaction.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVNPbT-YHXVmA7EBRwZKHDE80sQTqles9fnkRYkj2vTldE82IVcZRvsIPGqLwyWezbeFJIp69d_tJnaUVORzy9Eb62YPW8BmITSokXvjE6jkKzIlrUx5pVfa2xY_zB-F_OTHOZVPbg8cM/s1600/WinkyKinkyJeanette.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="SL merchant tips from Jeanette Doobie" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVNPbT-YHXVmA7EBRwZKHDE80sQTqles9fnkRYkj2vTldE82IVcZRvsIPGqLwyWezbeFJIp69d_tJnaUVORzy9Eb62YPW8BmITSokXvjE6jkKzIlrUx5pVfa2xY_zB-F_OTHOZVPbg8cM/s1600/WinkyKinkyJeanette.jpg" title="Jeanette Doobie offers tips for SL merchants" /></a>Why am I offering these tips? Wouldn't I be giving my "competitors" an advantage and risk losing customers myself? First of all, I firmly believe that the better my fellow merchants present themselves, the better all the rest of us come across. We all win! Also, I am not picking on any particular merchants or suggesting anyone is being lazy or complacent. I am simply offering some advice that may be new to some - particularly newer sellers to Second Life. We can all use some helpful tips now and then - or reminders about what we can do to make our products, stores and catalogs even better. Hey, even I could use a hefty dose of advice, so I am always grateful when someone else offers tips like these that help me along. This is my "thank you" to those generous business owners who have shared with me in the past and my "pay it forward" to those who will be able to benefit from it here and maybe even pass it along to others.<br />
<br />
Ooooh, where do I start?<br />
<br />
Let's skip over all the stuff having to do with design and product development. That's all you! I am not here to suggest you create in any particular way, use any particular methods or generate any particular line of products. Just refrain from stealing content and make sure you do your absolute best to test your product thoroughly in all situations possible so that when your customer receives it, it works properly.<br />

Always include explicit instructions in a notecard that explain how everything included in the package works and what you can do with it. If it is a design that is meant to be compatible with another product, include a reference that explains how it works with that product and maybe even where a customer can get that other product (landmarks are great) just in case she has purchased yours without realizing that something else is required. We'll go over how to avoid that a little more shortly. You can also use your instruction notecard other links that point your customer back to your in-world store or contain a link to your SL Marketplace shop. This will help those who liked their purchase find you more quickly and become loyal repeat customers. You can also include a landmark item in the package so that one of the things that your customer sees with their purchase is how to get back to you to buy more! If you do not have an in-world store (get one! lol) you can create a separate notecard that contains your Marketplace links and title it something like "Links to My Store." You will probably want to be careful not to include so many excess items like LMs and NCs that your customer is overwhelmed with items that are not part of their new outfit or house or hair she just bought from you. Keep your information concise and limit it to as few extra items as possible. Your customer will not mind having that extra LM or NC around for reference - and if she does, she can always delete it from her inventory - no harm done. However, if she wants to know more about the product or where she can find you - she will be disappointed if you don't provide that information in an easily accessible place. I don't know anyone who enjoys using the SL search function or looking up obscure listings in a browser's search engine.<br />

~PRESENT AN ORGANIZED PACKAGE~<br />

How about the items themselves? Think about when your customer receives that package full of your goodies. Is it well-organized? Are there <i>too many</i> items? Can your customers easily determine what each item is and how it should be used - and with which other items it is used? This is a common situation I find myself in - especially with outfits that have lots of options and alternatives. If your outfit or other creation has a lot of different combinations of items packaged in the same box (options are very good, so don't shy away from including those great parts) consider explaining in your documentation which items would go well with others. More importantly, label those items in inventory to descriptively list what they are used for. Be consistent with your labeling so that similar options appear together. Make it as clear as possible what each item is and whether or not it is part of the base product or one of several options included. Look at the list in your own inventory and ask yourself if it is clear and easy to understand. Will your customer be tempted to accidentally use too many layers or attachments at once? Does any item look out of place in the list? Can any items be renamed in a way that would improve its clarity in your package?<br />

Particularly for outfit designers, it is always a good idea to make sure you know where each attachable item will actually attach on an avatar and make sure it works appropriately. If possible, try to attach the item to yourself or your test avatar and attach other items that go with one particular "look" to different parts so that if all of them are "worn" at the same time there is less risk of accidentally detaching another item. On that note, if you have different options that would attach in place of others in your package, assign them to the same attachment points - so that if the option is "worn" then it will detach the item it is meant to replace. With rigged mesh items, attachment points can be a whole different issue. Since those items will "snap" into place no matter where they are attached, it is feasible to set the default attachment point to a lesser-used attachment point so that your avatar has more options left open for where other items can be attached. At the same time, it is usually nice to assign objects to attach in the post that makes the most sense. The bottom line here is that it is a debate you should have with yourself before you release the product. Whichever points you choose, just make sure you have thought it through and considered your customers' probable needs and desires. Try not to just assign points to their default or some random one with no rhyme or reason.<br />

One of my biggest pet peeves with purchased items is receiving packages that have extra work for me to perform in order to use the product. Granted, a lot of products need to be attached or rezzed and then adjusted, which is fine and expected, but I'm talking about being delivered a package and finding that I have more boxes to unpack and more organizing to do myself. I'm not lazy and neither are the rest of your customers (for the most part) but none of us want to do the work that you could have easily done yourself in order to start using your product. Most of the time, we are so excited about our purchase that we want to dive in and start using it right away! If you are not a scripter, you may not be able to write yourself a robust unpacking script that does all the fancy stuff that some merchants use. Forgiven! :) However, there's plenty you can do to make life easier for the hyper and excited folks who just want to dig in. The first thing your customers will get when they purchase your product is the package. Whether this is delivered from your vendor in-world or from the delivery system on the SL Marketplace, your customer will receive "something" and what that "something" is is your first impression after the customer has made the commitment to give your product a try. If the first thing your customer gets is a box that needs to be unpacked, that's work you didn't do that your customer now has to. In-world vendors are capable of delivering products to your customer's inventory in its own folder ready for use and ready to be moved around by the customer within her inventory however she sees fit. A boxed package, on the other hand, need to be rezzed and unpacked before all this happens - and if the box is an item, it would likely have shown up in the inventory folder for Objects - so the unpacked folder will show up in the root of the list - so already there is clutter. One of the most frustrating means of delivery is receiving a folder (this looks promising) but inside it is just a box that needs to be unpacked. Why was it even in the folder? That's work on top of work. I want to play! Some of you are thinking, "But that vendor system I paid mega L$ for will only deliver single items so I have to box things up first." While that investment may have cost you a lot of Lindens, it is not helping your business. Find another way to deliver products to your customers in-world. There are plenty of vendor systems, even those tied to online database features that are capable of delivering folders of inventory, run in low-lag operation, don't have a lot of prims and can present your products nicely to your customers. Search the Marketplace, in-world and online and you will find plenty of vendor products and services to choose from. As for Marketplace deliveries, it has been quite a long time now since the SLM has implemented Direct Delivery for all vendors and customers to use. There is no longer the need for "Magic Box" boxed deliveries! Take advantage of switching over to this method and create a delivery folder that your customer will appreciate receiving and being able to use right away. Sometimes, you will need to box a few odds and ends that your customer will be required to unpack. This is not the end of the world, so if you know you absolutely have to then don't sweat it. I buy lots of products that include separate option packs or developer kits that I have to unpack separately. In these cases, I am happy those bonus items are not all mixed in with the core product I got in the root folder. See? Compromise! ;) When there are items that need to be unpacked - because it is 100% unavoidable (right?) then it is a good idea to make sure your box/rezzing/unpacking method is not just reliable but also customer-friendly. Keep in mind the same things you would when delivering from an in-world vendor. If the un-boxing process is overly-complicated or just not explained clearly, that leads to frustration. If your customer needs to wear/attach the object, consider stating that in the object's description. If it needs to be rezzed put that somewhere in the title along with a clear description of the product that is contained inside the box. If possible, automate the process and deliver to the customer a nice folder with more aptly-named items. Everybody's happy and the extra work you put in will reflect very well on you as a considerate merchant.<br />

~MAKE YOUR ADS CLEAR~<br />

But this doesn't help win that first-time customer, does it? That's what your ad graphic/texture and any listing descriptions you write are meant to accomplish. In-world, you are not likely going to have the extra text space to write your product's life story, so we'll address the Marketplace in a moment, but if your product would benefit from extra displayed information and you have the prim space, etc. consider posting that information nearby the vendor and at least make it available for your customers to see. However... and this is important... if there is essential information your customer needs to know right out of the gate, you really really REALLY should include it right on the main texture where your product is sold. Your customer is not likely going to buy an item from a vendor that hasn't rezzed properly (what's in this thing, anyway?) but she might purchase from a vendor that is rezzed - thinking she is buying one thing - when she can't see the unrezzed sign nearby that explains it is intended for use with another product that she does not own! Clarify the essential information you need to convey as concisely as possible on the main ad to avoid that awkward situation when you have to explain why your customer is up the creek without a paddle - or you have to shell out for a monetary return (depending on your store policy and merchant philosophy). The Marketplace and some other online services allow you to elaborate on these details in several areas so take advantage of this to fully describe your product and all that it comes with, does <i>and doesn't</i> provide. Plus, if you are creative about your descriptions, you can really enhance your brand and draw your customers into your "world" where you can help encourage them to continue the experience you have created for them. I won't say anything about your ad designs - that's all you - but do keep in mind your customer and design for <i>that </i>person as much as for you and your brand.<br />

Although I have been fairly hands-off with your design choices, I do have to say this - and it is <i>essential</i> - know the basics of computer graphics at the very least and put them into practice <i>each and every time</i>! If you do not have a grasp on a few very fundamental concepts it is vital that you make an effort to learn them and put them into practice or customers will run away fast and far. One of the most important (and for some reason, one of the most commonly overlooked) graphic considerations to keep in mind is aspect ratio, and in some cases, image size. What this means to the uninitiated is that your graphic ad image should match the proportion of width and height to whatever medium it is being applied to/displayed on. I won't go into a lengthy lecture on all the techniques of matching aspect ratio here, but I will explain that if you take a screenshot on a relative wide display and apply that image directly to the square face of a prim, you can expect to see the image distorted so that all the subjects in the picture appear as tall/skinny/stretched/squished - however you want to describe it. In presenting your product, your ad should depict it in the correct aspect ratio - no exceptions. For those that may believe the change in aspect ratio is an "artistic" choice, I can assure you that you are almost certainly making the <i>wrong</i> choice. If the ratio is off, fix it. Otherwise, you <i>will </i>appear as an amateur and your customer base is likely to shrink dramatically. Why would I expect the product to be crafted with any more care and quality than the ad? If your ad and other support images are done right, your customer will have a clear understanding of exactly what they are buying and will feel more confident in you as a creator and in their purchase decision of your product(s).<br />

Like your designs and your ads, your prices are something you will have to come to terms with on your own. There are advantages and disadvantages to many pricing philosophies, but try to figure out which lines work at what levels and maintain consistency within your catalog that reflects your brand image flatteringly. It is easy to under- or over-price your merchandise based on your own whims, but study the market and most of all, be honest with yourself while not being too critical of your own products. Be fair while you consider demand. Remember that the short-term may be one thing and a lasting product line with the best return for your extended earnings is another. Adjust pricing of existing items when the time is right. Sales, promotions and offers? Yes! Permanent discounts, clearance pricing and blowouts should happen only when the time is right.<br />

Mistakes happen. No matter who you are - top couture fashionista or first-time gesture-maker - you will screw up and will have to make good with anyone who may have been affected. Also, your customers will mess up. Inevitably, some will purchase products they can't use no matter how carefully you label the ad. Be sure your policies are clearly stated wherever you set up shop and if possible, include them in your packages as a reminder for those who have purchased from you. No matter what your policies are or how you choose to implement them, remember that mistakes happen and even the most well-intended customer may turn to you for help. Those customers also carry with them <i><b>your </b>best</i> marketing tool - word of mouth. Chances are, a dissatisfied customer will carry as much bad publicity about your brand as a happy one would carry good publicity. Not every problem will have an easy solution or a beneficial outcome, but the point is to put in the effort and issue help when you can. Support your wider customer base and it will support you right back! For the most part, if you put in the concerted effort and try to make good with your customers, they will be very patient and forgiving with you as a flawed "human being" avatar digital person thingy. It is also important to accept that within yourself. I make mistakes all the time. Sometimes SL brings up difficulties on its own and sometimes I am entirely at fault for something that has gone wrong. It's okay! Make good and move on. Hey, I bet you can catch several spelling and grammar errors right here in this blog entry that I never caught! OMG! I'm not perfect! The drama! ;)<br />

Although the predominant language spoken and written is Second Life is English, there are lots of languages making an appearance all over the grid. Of course I am not telling you you should market your products only in English - or even to include English at all! I tip my hat to those who include several languages in their ads and instructions. Kudos to you - you are going above and beyond to allow you products to be enjoyed by as many people as possible. I am also without a doubt that the speakers of those languages also appreciate that you have made available to them a more familiar and inviting experience. Whatever your language choices - just do what you do! However - and this is the important part - <i>do it well</i>! Check your grammar and spelling. Proof read your instructions. Make sure your ad is presented professionally. Creative license aside, you can instantly make a bad impression on your potential customers with poorly-conceived text. It is, generally, understood that language barriers can be difficult to overcome, but if you want to make the best impression possible, then whatever you commit to your ads and listings should be crafted with care. Chances are, even the most forgiving of residents will see "Do trouser for cover legs" as a poor reflection on your business. I suspect that even the tried-and-true Web-based translators are not the best methods of gaining an effective translation of your text. I recommend that if you do have something to say in a language you are not perfectly fluent in that you seek the services of someone who is fluent in that language and who is <i>very well trusted</i> to perform the translation for you. It can greatly enhance the perception of your product and your brand. For some, it may even be a good idea to have someone else who has a thorough grasp of such things to double-check the text you have written <i>in your own native tongue</i> to make sure it appears professional and appealing.<br />

On the technical side, are your online product listings friendly to search algorithms and the general searching population? Let's say, for example, you have a listing for a wonderful skin set and it is called "::MyBrand:: Jane - Tan version 1." Even though you may have categorized this item under the appropriate subgenre for the site, it may not get very many hits in a search based on its name. You may get some views based on the tags you added to the search field, but having the actual name in the heading will improve search results dramatically. Just by adding "skin" into the title somewhere would help folks find and recognize your product more easily. Plus, if your item shows up in a list of ad cycles with a lot of other random products, the viewer will understand immediately that the product shown is a skin - not an outfit, hair or some other un-included item that may be in the ad picture. Be accurate and descriptive as best you can. There's still plenty of room to be creative and have a signature style while employing these tactics. Be sure all of your listing elements are just as clear and full of keywords that will get the attention of the appropriate audience. Any one of those things could be the tipping-point that generates the sale. When you do fill out your keywords in the tags section, be sure all of the words accurately describe something about your product and make it easier for someone searching any substantially-related term to find your item in the listing. You aren't doing yourself or anyone else any favors by adding unrelated terms in the keywords field and that may even be against the rules for some merchant services. For example, if you are trying to sell a cute new outfit and you type "sex" into the tags section over and over, you are not likely win views by people who are all that likely to buy your product. Keep your terms to related words - even misspelled versions of them in case someone types the misspelling into their search. They will still be able to find you!<br />

In-world you have a little less direct control over the effectiveness of the viewer-based search, but you can employ these same concepts to help you out, nonetheless. What is more important on the grid is that your store layout is set up in a shopper-friendly way. Reduce lag as much as you possibly can. Do you really need those particle effects cascading down all over the place? Do you have to have dozens of high-lag scripted objects running all the time? Do you need thousands and thousands of purely decorative mesh, sculpted and flexi objects all over the place? If you exit your viewer, clear the cache and return to your store and it takes an annoyingly long time to rez all the way, then you will understand what each of your customers is going through each time they come by for a shopping visit. The quicker and easier it is to rez everything available for purchase and those decorative elements around the shop the more likely those customers will stick around to do more shopping and come back some other time to shop more. Plus, it greatly increases the chances that during each visit, that shopper will buy more, faster! Some people even go to the length of only displaying ad textures that are no larger than 512x512 pixels. Although I much prefer to present the sharpest, most detailed image possible at 1024x1024, those conservative marketers do have a point! Those textures will download and rez faster - increasing the chances that visitors will see more product in less time. Okay, so it's advice I myself tend to ignore, but there is also something to be said about having the highest-quality imagery available to best showcase your products. It's a trade-off and you will have to decide which is best for you. I would go as far as to say that using <i>too </i>conservative image sizes will begin to detract from the overall visual appeal of your product. Customers want to see the item as close as they can to what it will look like for them, so if the resolution is too poor, they will not likely get a grasp on the quality of its features. Whether the item itself has a high quality appeal or not does not make any difference. If that is left unclear to the customer, it is more likely your buyer will pass it up rather than spend anything to take the chance that it <i>might </i>be good.<br />

~DELIVER WHAT IS EXPECTED~ <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Nothing will trigger disappointment faster than not delivering what is promised - or implied. Be sure your item includes everything it claims to at the level of quality depicted. Granted, a customer who has very low graphics settings, a high-lag connection and a graphics card or computer that displays Second Life poorly will probably not see the purchased item as shown in your ad image - that is, unless you used the same, or similar, settings to take the photo for your ad. It is common for this discrepancy to occur but it is not "unexpected" by the general community, not forbidden by the terms and conditions of the platform and pretty much the standard practice among merchants grid-wide. The ethical barrier that this seems to sit safely behind is built on the premise that the items shown in their polished glory in ad photos taken with top-notch equipment have been taken with the same software that is available to all Second Life users and can be achieved. The customer could get the same look as in the ad photo if the conditions on her machine are up to par. However, this barrier is broken if the image shows the product in a non-native environment. For example, if a designer uses a very robust 3D drafting software platform to create an intricate mesh hat, then uses that same program to put the hat on a gorgeously-sculpted model with high-caliber lighting features, reflections and all sorts of whistles and bells that make it look very sharp and appealing, then renders the environment to use as the ad image - that is deceptive. No SL user would be able to achieve the same look and quality, no matter which viewer she uses or what settings and graphics features she has. She would not even be getting the raw mesh object that was used in the drafting program. Not only does this oppose good ethical practices, but it is also possible grounds for legal trouble or punitive action. Aside from that, no one will be happy to receive that product knowing the quality shown could never be achieved. It is unlikely that the customer will want to be disappointed again by another one of your products. In the grey area of this subject is the use of photo manipulation software or image enhancement tools to alter the image to make it more appealing in the ad picture. This will be your judgment call, since there is no clear-cut answer. I will offer, though, that the practice is very common to some degree. Although it may be as common as it is and abused quite often, the best thing to keep in mind is - will the customer be happy with the product she is delivered or does the picture mislead her into thinking she is getting something much better than she actually is? It's a fine line but one worth thinking about before marketing a product.<br />

~MARKET AND PROMOTE~ <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC5rbzkdom7rxyt7LrHwqXCIHNRrv9bG4CNX1Zd2R2akJFUBJQoWkHT1mZTUgBTUJdBxwPEeVmw_CgOecMahnL362SJSZ7cCp59DNLUeGSe1q-UhcU0g2lct3Ov1WFNA3h-IX-4sxQTFQ/s1600/SandwichBoard.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Put on that sandwich board and market your line" border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC5rbzkdom7rxyt7LrHwqXCIHNRrv9bG4CNX1Zd2R2akJFUBJQoWkHT1mZTUgBTUJdBxwPEeVmw_CgOecMahnL362SJSZ7cCp59DNLUeGSe1q-UhcU0g2lct3Ov1WFNA3h-IX-4sxQTFQ/s320/SandwichBoard.jpg" title="Get out there and promote your brand" width="320" /></a>The last, but certainly not the least important, item I will discuss is promotion and marketing your product to grow awareness of it, you and your brand. Nobody is going to buy your items if they don't know it exists! Whether you spend your money on marketing and promotion of your products or you find inexpensive or free ways to do it, it is vital to increase awareness to increase sales. Linden Lab allows you to pay for in-world classified ads and featured listings within the Marketplace. You could even go as far as purchasing banner ads on Websites or other online marketing services. You also have the option of creating awareness by starting your own blog and generating interest in your brand (ha!) or creating your own Website that promotes your business. Easier and cheaper still, you can promote in-world by asking friends to showcase your items as they traverse the grid. You could also participate in hunts, contests, giveaways and issue prizes at social events around the SL globe. You may not want to give your items away to everyone who walks by, but handing out some freebies to select residents could get your goods seen while they use your products while shopping at other establishments, partying at their favorite club, or any number of other opportunities where others might ask them, "Hey, where did you get that?" Be social yourself! Go places where you can be seen with your wares. Don't be pushy, but if someone asks you about something you can help provide them, your opportunity could lead to a sale, a loyal customer, or any number of frequent shopper-friends that resident may employ to come shop your store with them. A lot of expense you will find in marketing is not so much monetary, but takes up time. There is no quick <i>and </i>cheap solution, so you have to put in the effort or shell out the cash. Either way, you need to give in order to get. Unless you strike gold by stumbling upon an eager customer base with high demand that storms your storefront and keeps on coming, you will have to work hard at what you do. You still won't be able to guarantee that your work or money will pay off in the end, but the trick to success is not getting discouraged and keeping at it. Over time, your products are likely to improve, your marketing will get better, your brand will grow and your sales will increase.<br />

Of course you will probably not be able to address every problem, request, invitation or conversation immediately, but try to stay close as frequently as you can. Put your (resident) name out there and invite people to contact you for whatever reason they feel they need or want to. Be ready to help your customers and take criticism as well as compliments. An absentee merchant is sure to annoy anyone who might have appreciated even a brief response. Unless you have hired a staff to do this work for you, you need to be reachable by those who you expect to be your customer base. Even if you rise in the ranks and begin to sell your products like crazy, you can greatly enhance customer relations if you - yourself - stay actively involved and engaged with your customers. Being "untouchable" may keep you from having to deal with any unpleasantness that may come your way but it is a sure way to sprout negativity about you and alienate those who are spending their hard-earned money on the digital content you make available. Get in there and mingle! Answer questions as clearly, quickly and responsibly as you can. Get involved. There are so many friends out there you don't even know yet! One of them is Jeanette Doobie and she would love to hear from you. ;) I welcome all your comments, gripes, suggestions, arguments and everything else. See you around SL!<br />

So... it has been established that I take ages between posts. Hey, I'm a busy busy bee and for those of you who frequent <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Rosslyn/95/52/445/" target="_blank">~Jeanette's Joint~</a> you know it is worth the wait. A good many things have happened since the last update here. Many great malls have closed down, taking some ~JJ~ outlet stores with them. Also, a short-lived expansion to the <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Rosslyn/95/52/445/" target="_blank">~JJ~ Feature Gallery</a> was put up and removed not too long afterward. Granted, it was gorgeous, but my customers spoke and it was all about making the experience at the main store about finding things more easily and enjoying the trip without being coerced into sight-seeing. You are so right! Going to see the sights is one reason to visit a place and shopping is another. The two are best handled separately. That is not to say the new store design isn't pretty! A beautiful and very functional mesh architecture now stands as the main store framework with all of the products grouped in a smart way and easy to navigate and shop like crazy!<br />
<br />
The most exciting bit is what the newest line of items to shop for is now lining the walls...<br />

It is a common statement made by so many within the community that Petites are so great because of their "standardization" which allows them to be designed for by so many talented artists and merchants, but one of the biggest complaints is that it is not easy to set one's self apart from the rest because of so few choices that exist for making the actual avatar base stand out with it's own identity.<br />
<br />
Of course, many a statement can be made with fashion (or lack thereof) and ~JJ~ has been praised time and time again for the high quality skins that are available for Petites that are able to be modified. Still, everyone experienced in tweaking SL avatars knows that an individual's looks are dependent on several other factors, one being the "physical" shape of the body and head, particularly the face. Petites, by nature, give you the ability to make some limited adjustments to the body without a great deal of deviation, but in order to remain stable in the fashion world, the mesh avatar has to be limited in that way. The head, however, has a lot more room for flexibility - and that's what ~JJ~ is all about with our new products!<br />
<br />

At most, they have three expressions and version2 avatars have a Blink feature. Am I complaining about this? No way! They are fabulous! But choice is very limited and the community seeks a variety to choose from. I agree - everyone wants to be unique - as they should be - and what better way than to reflect that in the way you look?<br />
<br />
One of the best things about the new ~JJ~ Petite heads is that not only are the basic "physical" looks impressive and unique, but each head comes with numerous expressions that can be accessed via the Facial HUD. Most of the models feature 15 different emotes with an added Blink function for a total of 16 settings to choose from! Now your Petite can smile, laugh, cry, look confused, angry, sassy and so much more. No other Petite head features as much expressiveness as these do.<br />
<br />
The package also includes a whole host of goodies. You get a set of skin textures to accompany your head and help you match the body (of a mod-enabled avatar), prim eyelashes, a set of customizable eyes, HUDs to set everything up and even an attachment that you can wear to get your Blink function going without taking up screen space.<br />

Since ~JJ~ has a lot of those to choose from, the combinations are incredibly diverse. The heads work with version1 and version2 type of Petite avatar bodies - and even work with others (non-Yabu) although without the ability to mod the skin of the body, getting a match between the head and the body is very difficult and requires some skillful editing work. Of course, demos are available for each of the styles so you can grab a free one in-world or snag a L$1 from the SL Marketplace if that is more convenient and try it out for yourself to make sure it is the right head for you. Try before you buy!<br />
<br />
If that weren't enough to get a Petite on track to complete individuality, there is yet another option...<br />

<br />
Once again, I am long overdue a blog update, but here it is! I have been nice and busy creating experiences for those lovely Petites and things have been going swimmingly at ~JJ~ in all things large and small.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The Newest ~JJ~ Petite Outlet at Fashionista's Haven</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
I've added new locations and even some fun activities for visitors to the <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Rosslyn/95/52/445/" target="_blank">Feature Gallery</a> and our Petite outlets. Play Bubble Breaker in the main store or slap the Midnight Madness Board there featuring some of the latest and most sought-after Petite fashions and accessories. We also have one posted at <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Isle%20of%20Romance/109/95/25" target="_blank">Fashionista's Haven</a> in case you are a mall shopper with a time budget. :)<br />
<br />

So, what's up right now at ~JJ~ that you need to attend to ASAP? Halloween is coming! This is the first year Petites will be celebrating the spooky holiday and we plan on doing it in style. There are several hunts underway right now and parties galore - including daily happenings at <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Glassdale%20Barrens/34/41/28" target="_blank">Elysian Valley</a>.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
~JJ~ has kicked off the season with a special avatar kit perfect for all your creepy gatherings and just to roam around in. If you have a mod-enabled <a href="https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Yabusaka-Petite-Mesh-Avatar-2/3855528" target="_blank">Petite avatar</a> (currently any available from <a href="https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/15581?id=15581" target="_blank">Yabusaka</a>) you can pick up one or all of the <a href="https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/31573/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&search[category_id]=&search[maturity_level]=GMA&search[keywords]=zombie" target="_blank">~JJ~ Petitestuff Zombie</a> kits to transform yourself into the undead lovable Petite you always wanted to be.<br />
<br />
The only thing this kit does not include is an animation package (<a href="https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/RC-Zombie-AO/83825" target="_blank">AO</a>) so you may want to surf the <a href="https://marketplace.secondlife.com/" target="_blank">Marketplace</a> or search in-world for something of a lumbering gate for your little undead.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
There are four different male versions as well as four unique female versions to choose from in this kit. You get scraggly hair, rotten eyes, grimey clothing, even swarming flies that hover nearby - because you smell really bad!</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">

Editor's Note:<br />
<br />
What's missing from this blog entry? Lots of pictures, you say? You are so right! Here's the story...<br />
<br />
I made the bold switch to Flickr to bring a brand new dimension of showmanship to my in-world catalogs as well as this blog. After all, the premier photo-sharing site should be a staple for all those who wish to have their images available for all to see.<br />
<br />
Not so much.<br />
<br />
What I learned is that Flickr is a disaster at every turn. Not only is the interface the worst you will likely encounter on all of the Web, it serves as the most unreliable image host I have ever used. My shared galleries worked for a little while then Flickr made some arbitrary decisions to stop that from happening. And the cycle repeats.<br />
<br />
What used to be a page full of snazzy slideshows on this post is now a bunch of links (which are well worth following) and a disgruntled author who will leave it this way in a sad protest but with the promise that the next post will return to the tried-and-true method of uploading the photos directly to this blog and delivering the quality and reliability that Flickr fails epically to bring.<br />
<br />
Thanks for your continued support!<br />

I use the term lovingly because I, myself, can't get enough of these miniscule marvels. They are <a href="https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Yabusaka-Petite-Fairy-Mesh-Avatar/3158080" target="_blank">Petite Mesh Avatars</a> and they come in the form of fairies, pixies, imps, whatever you want to call these little flittering cuties. The bottom line is: they are ADORABLE!<br />
<br />
Ever since Linden Lab incorporated mesh into the daily lives of many SL'ers through their release viewer 3, many amazing things have happened. A Mesh Revolution has certainly sprung some new life into SL. I could go on and on about the stunning new lines of mesh clothing available in so many stores - maybe another time - but this post is all about the little things - those Petites!<br />
<br />

The entirely-mesh design includes a body, a pair of feet, two hands and three heads (all of which are part of the main body object) with lovely trim like eyelashes, nails and cute-as-a-button pointy ears that stick way out from your head.<br />

HUDs control the color of the skin, different makeup and skin options, facial expressions (there are three; one for each head mesh) texture properties like Shiny and Glow and even which parts on the body mesh can be made invisible so that your Petite outfits work better.<br />

Already, there are dozens of merchants designing and selling clothing and accessories for Petites. You might assume it would be difficult to manufacture mesh goods for these little characters but Yabusaka Loon did something very crucial (and genius) that helped make the Petites boom possible: release a set of mesh development tools that creators could obtain ~for free~ that would ensure maximum compatibility and a reasonable assurance of quality potential.<br />

Also joining the fold are Skinthesis and Al Vulo. Most have male and female avatars available in their own particular styles. Others are joining in with avatars of their own including brilliant designs by ND/MD, Mynerva and more.<br />

In another measure of generosity and brilliant marketing, Loon has made space available for approved merchants at no cost to show the best of what they have to offer and to keep interest in Petites as well as their own shops at a high level. The courtyard is always busy with foot traffic and eager fans.<br />

<br />

<br />
Initially, I designed a set of different eyes that would be used by the system eyes and would be tintable via the Edit feature in SL. Those eyes were great, by all means, but after finishing the set I felt like I wasn't hitting the mark with just how customizable the eyes could get. I decided to hold the release and keep working until I was happy.<br />
<br />
I am very happy now! The newest eyes are prim-based, so they are compatible with all viewers and easy to manipulate by the user. Of course, a few manipulations require some Edit mode tweaks - such as changing the position, rotation and overall size of the eye prims. Aside from the minor things that tend to be set once - and made very unique for each personality - the rest is HUD-driven. And by "the rest" I mean a ton of things!<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Customizable Eyes HUD</td></tr>
</tbody></table>The HUD is very simple and powerful. It can be attached and used to customize the eyes and then detached so that it doesn't take up a ton of room on your viewer. Aside from its functionality, it's sharp-looking and intuitive and it features many slider-based controls that allow you to make instant detailed selections of settings without pouring through clunky menus and stepped controls.<br />
<br />
Speaking of the controls, here's what you'll see on your HUD:<br />
<br />
First, there is a graphical representation of your eye. As changes are made, you can see the image of the eye adjust itself in real-time!<br />
<br />
Below that, there is a selector that allows you to choose between editing the iris portion of the eyes or the sclera, the "white part" of the eyeball. These parts are editable independantly so you can get the most customization bang for the buck.<br />
<br />
Next is a control that allows you to select whether the part will be Fullbright or shaded to allow environmental lighting effects to be rendered on the eye.<br />
<br />
Right next to that is a scale slider where you can choose the texture size of the iris (or the sclera if you please) and make your eyes small and beady or large and doe-eyed - or anything in between!<br />
<br />
On a side note, slider controls can be clicked-and-dragged for minute adjustments. This method is not recommended as it creates script lag and possible delays in showing the changes as they take effect. It is good for smaller adjustments and ideal for single-click edits. It's there in case you want to try it out and could always improve if SL speeds up their script functions. You never know.<br />
<br />
Moving on down the HUD, you will see a set of buttons that allow you to choose the shiny attributes of the selected part. All four levels of shine are available to choose from and they affect the sclera portion of the eye (since the iris is alpha-based for which SL does not provide shiny abilities). This feature gives your eye that glossy look that is dynamic to the camera.<br />
<br />
Farther down is a slider that controls the amount of glow on the indicated parts! This versatile effect really gives eyes a surreal quality that work great in the dark (and in the light too). These changes are not visible on the HUD sample image because HUDs cannot display Windlight Glow settings, but you can still monitor the changes real-time in-world right there on your avatar - where it counts.<br />
<br />
At the very bottom of the HUD is an extremely robust color selection grid that allows you to dial-in any color that exists with ease! Using precise hue, saturation, value sliders, this portion of the HUD represents every color possible and translates it into an RGB value that is sent to your selected eyeball part. Also, in the lower-lefthand corner of the color selector grid is a box that displays the pure color selected and can be clicked on to send you the RGB vector so you can pinpoint the exact color to use for yourself (because those tintable shoes and belt will HAVE to match the eyes!) - just select the vector in private chat and paste it where you need it!<br />
<br />
The five styles of the ~JJ~ Customizable Eyes are also available in a smaller size for your Petites Mesh Avatar! See the <a href="https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/31573" target="_blank">~JJ~ store in the SL Marketplace</a> to find yours. But more on Petites later...<br />

Granted, I've seen so many of these little guys around Second Life, it took me ages to actually get around to making one to add to the ~JJ~ product line. Really, sales and competition are NOT motivators for this item and some folks will probably get the wrong idea and be a little peeved that I have put yet another Bit out there on the SL market.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZudrNZjdmFQegcaStvW8aCZQLwxUFoWiUf_PynoBqEwsQMRuT4SRcKtE3cckeVToHRjPX2Bveib5Hl_Ogm3FZC6eDLRiEYU6KBM-aSvFpTJIm7R4e0C0uhjdHByICjzXbsY669miIYpY/s1600/BitFollowerAd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZudrNZjdmFQegcaStvW8aCZQLwxUFoWiUf_PynoBqEwsQMRuT4SRcKtE3cckeVToHRjPX2Bveib5Hl_Ogm3FZC6eDLRiEYU6KBM-aSvFpTJIm7R4e0C0uhjdHByICjzXbsY669miIYpY/s320/BitFollowerAd.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Nevertheless, I DID! Ha! ;) I couldn't resist and I tried my best to make it as authentic as possible. Each of the mesh shapes were carefully designed in Blender and imported to SL as a mesh. So, those of you who do not yet use the mesh-enabled viewers - get with the times! Grab a copy of a modern viewer and join the mesh crowd.<br />
<br />
As expected, this Bit will hover nearby and follow you around answering questions and interacting with chat by responding "yes" or "no" as it sees fit. The animations are pretty dern close to the movie and the sounds (selectable on/off) are the real thing. The touch menu (or chat commands) help you control the action just the way you want - and even make Bit follow someone else around - or just have it stay put.<br />
<br />
Some nifty scripted features help round out this product and make it stand out. A wearable Spawner will detect if you are "missing" your bit and rez a replacement for you. Also, if you and your bit are separated, your bit will self-clean and derez. The best feature, though, is this item is hooked into the ~JJ~ Auto-Update network. Anyone who buys this little guy will get free updates for life!<br />
<br />
Aside from that, I am still very excited about tomorrow's Boot-up Bash! Please see the previous blog post about it - and if it is past the date - I hope you didn't miss out!!!!<br />
<br />
More updates to come - and believe me, something ELSE big is on the way - a whole new product line with SO MUCH STUFF is just around the ~JJ~ corner! Tell you more soon. ;)<br />
<br />
~Love~<br />

</tbody></table>~ARENA DISC COMBAT~<br />
<br />
You have your ~JJ~ Premium Combat Disc, right? Well, now you can come right to the Grid at ~JJ~ to battle it out with friends in arenas designed to work with your discs. Rez a game grid in either of the available arenas and let the discs fly. Each arena has a spectator area so those waiting to play can watch the action unfold. Of course, the arenas are available for purchase, so you can have your own, but this is a great chance to try before you buy. If you can't or don't want to rez your own arenas, come back here to have your battles. Arena use is free and availability is usually pretty good! You will need to bring your own disc with you.<br />

This full-featured club is THE place to party on the Grid. The beautifully-designed atmosphere has a life and personality of its own and it can change its mood on a whim! A DJ board keeps you in the know of what is playing and who is playing it. Contests run frequently where you can win Linden Cash, Items or both! A free gift will be awarded to anyone who donates ANY amount. What is the gift? A ~JJ~ Silhouette Dance Orb that always changes to match the mood of the club! SAWEET! The animated dance floor is big enough for a crowd plus there is more room on the mezzanine in case the crowds get really huge. Want to sit this one out? Take a rest and revive your energy in one of the gorgeously furnished lounge areas. Got your second wind? Great! Then come back out and touch one of the three dance balls (one is synchronous!) and party your glow lines off. You are also welcome to animate yourself and show off your own moves.<br />

<br />
Now there is a spectacular area devoted to your ~JJ~ RC toys. This zone features three separate arenas where you can set up your radio-controlled devices and have battles with friends or just pilot them by yourself around obstacles and stunt features that keep the fun going and going. The first arena is designed to work best with your ~JJ~ RC Recognizer. It is also a great place to put out tanks and have a Paranoids match against your friends. The second arena is laid out with maze obstacles for the best ~JJ~ RC Tank Program experience around. The third zone is dedicated to your Light Cycle - split into two joined sections, one for winding track racing and the other for stunt course action. The lobby sports several vendors where you can buy any of the ~JJ~ RC toys to use in the arenas or wherever you are permitted to rez them.<br />

</tbody></table>~THE MCP~ <br />
<br />
Have a chat with the MCP! This interactive behemoth beam can play "yes/no" games with you (if that feature is currently activated) and react to you in chat. Purchase your own (smaller) version from the nearby vendor and carry the fun with you wherever you go. Just don't make him angry. He might slow down your power cycles for you.<br />
<br />
~EASY NAVIGATION~ <br />
<br />
There are also teleport stations constructed in opposing areas of the Grid. You can use them to quickly get from one place to another and save a little time from walking. Just remember, you can set landmarks anywhere in the Grid, so you can make your own set of teleports to get around where you want when you want. If you get lost, just find one of the directories that can point you toward what you are looking for. If you see a billboard with something you want to explore, touch it to receive a landmark for the destination advertised.<br />
<br />
~GORGEOUS DESIGN~ <br />
<br />
At this point, there is no special Windlight setting for the Grid. However, one simple way to make things look cooler is to set your viewer's time of day to midnight. This makes ambient lights really glow in vibrant color and makes things more crisp and sleek.<br />
<br />
An "official" grand opening has not yet been announced. That is still in the planning stages. The idea is to kick things off with a huge party at the club with a DJ and all the trimmings. Obviously, I'll keep you posted and announce what is happening and when. In the meantime, the area is open for use and you should stop by and have some fun! I'd love to see you there!<br />
<br />

Or so it seems, huh? The newest is in a very cool spot too. The <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Portugal%20Lisboa/121/144/27/">Tron Arena - Extreme Club</a> is home to the new Arena Supply shop where you can get a <a href="https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/JJ-Premium-Combat-Disc/2152010">~JJ~ Premium Combat Disc</a> and <a href="https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/31573">all the other stuff to go with it</a> - then, you can teleport up to the arena where there are tournaments and matches going on in heated disc combat! There's other stuff to do there too - like a club that has frequent DJs, a mall (where you'll find the new store) and other neat-o things to do. ~JJ~ products are highly featured there, so I know it's cool! :)<br />
<br />
Check it out and enjoy the newest Tron-themed area where you'll find those interested in all things Tron too!<br />
<br />
Just today I visited the arena area where the programs are hard at work building the gorgeous Legacy-themed arena upgrade. It looks amazing. Soon it too will be ready for tournament combat. It's very easy to get involved with this group. There's very little to set up and combat is practically ready to go! Bring a friend during down-time and you won't even have to wait for a tournament to get into the game. No friend to bring along? That's okay because chances are very good that someone is wandering around who would be more than happy to throw down at any time. See you around the grid, program!<br />

</tbody></table>These are exciting times for SL users! Linden Lab has been very busy enhancing the in-world experience. Many criticize the 'Lab for pushing out shiny distractions instead of addressing some of the viewers' long standing issues. While I think many issues could use an update I am confident that they are more complex than most give them credit for. I highly doubt that LL is blatantly ignoring any issues or avoiding updates without good reason. And, to be perfectly honest, I'm thrilled to the bones with the shiny distractions!<br />
<br />
Thursday night I was busy busy busy developing my newest goodies when I received the IM from the big LL voice in the sky that an update had been downloaded for my viewer. FYI, the viewer I use the most, and the one I was using at the time, is the LL Beta Viewer. When I get the update notice I always feel a mix of excitement (think the first enhanced avatar physics release) and fear (now think the physics update that seriously detracted from the quality of those physics). When I got the notice, I was ready to take a deep breath and open the box...<br />
<br />
Once I installed the new viewer update I was somewhat startled when I started it up and received a notice that the software had set my graphics preferences based on recommended computer performance levels. What? Why would the viewer want to mess around with those? I had them set to a level I liked very much, thank you.<br />
<br />
I immediately clicked open my preferences window and took a peek at what the software "recommended" for best performance and, maybe, find out why. I got my answer right away. ~NEW STUFF~<br />
<br />
The new graphics preferences included a few new tick boxes that hadn't been there before. I had seen them elsewhere, though. I ran across them in the Project Viewer! Although they had shown up un-ticked in my newly evaluated preferences, I knew exactly what they would do.<br />

</tbody></table><br />
<br />
The new settings are for even more enhanced graphics capabilities! Here are the new toys in a nutshell:<br />
<br />
1. Lighting and Shadows: that's right, objects can now cast shadows onto other objects! Granted, this will not replace baked shadows, but it certainly will enhance the ambient realism in SL. Really, there's nothing like seeing your own cast shadow on the ground for the first time in SL. Lighting is enhanced by projectors. With projectors, you can load a separate texture into another object and cast a light that uses that texture - just like a movie projector! It even has focus features and you can adjust a lot of the parameters. There's way more you can do with the features under this category alone than can be covered here.<br />
<br />
2. Ambient Occlusion: just when you thought visual realism couldn't get another boost in a 3D world at this stage, out comes this cannon of a feature that works with the art of subtlety. What this does, is emulates the way light bends around edges of objects, most notably affecting shadows at different distances from a light source as some parts look more blurry than others. In SL, it also does a lot right now to take some of the ugly jaggy lines off of the edges of some of the cast shadows. Lighting and Shadows, if activated, probably still needs this on as well to look right.<br />
<br />
3. Depth of Field: a photographer's dream, this feature sets the level of blur seen on all objects based on what object serves as the current "focus." Just like in a camera, if you zoom out, you get a larger depth of field and more objects appear in focus. Zoomed in, more foreground and background blur is evident.<br />
<br />
All these new graphics enhancements chew up a LOT of computing resources on the client side. My computer is very good and my graphics card is slightly above average, maybe a little better than that, but all of the new features bog my system down a ton. With all of the old graphics settings maxed-out, I can pull about 20 fps of performance in a typical, modest setting. I get 15 fps, if there's a good bit of activity going on and lots of particles flying around at the same time. When I enable all three new features, in a very stark environment I get about 2 fps. Add any complexity to that and I see it drop to levels that are not even playable anymore (not that 2 fps is playable).<br />
<br />
You'll need a powerhouse to process the new stuff, but they are new, and it is likely they will receive performance updates that help out the issues and meet better technology as computers grow and evolve. As I said from the start, they are on the Beta Viewer, ported over from a long stretch on the Project Viewer. They still have a way to go before they make it into the mainstream.<br />
<br />
Luckily, it's all optional. You don't have to activate the new set of features if you don't want to. But for those of you who do, you'll be shadow-dancing in no time!<br />
<br />
~Love~<br />

I'm not a very skilled role-player. It doesn't bother me that I am not very good at the art of role-playing. Is it an art or is it a science? It's hard to tell being kind of out of the middle of it all, but I have had some recent experiences that let me know just where I stand in the world of SL role-playing. <br />
<br />
You've seen my designs. You know that I make a lot of products that do well in certain circles that encourage role-playing and combat. So you know I have the design chops, but in case you didn't know, those design chops do not seem to translate into actual combat or role-playing skills. I have received many, many compliments and rave reviews for my design work. Not so for my feeble attempts at role playing. <br />
<br />
First of all, I had no idea that "proper" role playing required me to chat in a very specifically formatted manner. I was asked by one resident to have a role-play session with him and each time I chatted a response by "speaking" as opposed to emoting (including what was "on my mind" as I was speaking) he got more and more fidgety - as if he had thousands of tiny insects in his ears chewing away at his brain as I typed. <br />
<br />
In another incident, a role-player was so displeased with my responses that he began to "suggest" what I should give as responses to his somewhat hard-to-follow fantasy. I think he would have been happier role-playing with two alt accounts instead of with another avatar capable of independent thought. <br />
<br />
In a similar session, the other role-player (are you ALL guys?) was not so infuriated that I was capable of responding in my own fashion, but he was brutally upset at me because I would not veer off into his intended direction - which was the bedroom. Oh, he tried to smooth his way in that direction in all sorts of amusing ways, but he soon learned that I was not having any of that and he was nice enough to say goodbye before he quickly teleported off to someplace that, presumably, had more to offer his tastes. <br />
<br />
I can't say that it doesn't bother me that I "suck" at role-playing. Actually, I think I would be good at it and very creative if it had less pomp and circumstance and left more open-ended participation. I think of it as a few (or maybe even many) avatars collected together to improvise a story. Apparently, it's not. <br />
<br />
I still love hanging out in some of my favorite themed areas. There, at least, I can participate as part of the theme without "officially" role-playing. I do love to people-watch. There are all sorts of people one could run into in themed and role-play areas. Here are my absolute favorite people types in those zones: <br />
<br />
The God - This player proclaims that she or he has powers and privileges beyond those of anyone else in the area. She or he could take on anyone, and win by nothing more than merit of their perceived rank. Meanwhile, this person actually retains no actual SL powers and usually has a wardrobe/shape/skin/etc. from the discount rack or the latest freebie promotion. The excuse? "I am in disguise so that I can freely walk amongst the mortals without notice." I frequent the Tron: Legacy Adventures sim a LOT and more than any other type of character, I run into this kind. There, they claim they are "users" or sometimes, program warriors that have been specifically anointed by the previous lord of the realm to own the world like Scarface. <br />
<br />
The Nobody - Quite the opposite of the God, the Nobody remains relatively quiet, does not stir fights, less often gets kicked out of the sim and tries very hard to blend into the background - creatively. The Nobodies in the Tron sim often wear titles like "word processor program" or "library file" and generally keep it friendly and light with the other residents. This player generally wears modest but nice outfits.<br />
<br />
The Admin - Okay, not quite a role-player, but these avatars are the real deal. They are the ones who can tell you what to do and take the actions the Gods think they have or deserve. They don't like to be pestered but still enjoy mixing in with the other players. These avs are typically under-dressed, that is, minimal attachments and simple but nice outfits that minimize sim resources.<br />
<br />
The Merchant - That's me! Well, sort of. Merchants sometimes pester people while peddling their product. I (hope I) don't do that! A lot of us don't, but some of us do and it gets irritating enough that the Admin will sometimes intervene. We are usually dressed in out latest release and our favorites made by non-competitors. ;)<br />
<br />
The Style Queen (or King) - This player dresses to the nines in the latest, most expensive outfits and exists to flaunt what she or he has. This player is either WAY too into their role-play or not into it at all. Either way, it's to the extreme. This is the same player who will irritate everyone with excessive gesturing and particle showers.<br />
<br />
The Niche Type - This player is tiny, furry, Gor or whatever other group is en vogue and does her or his best to emphasize whatever trait defines the avatar. Any trace of role-play seems to center around that defining trait and she or he tends to unleash a tiny, furry or Gor-y wrath if role play in any way interferes with that.<br />
<br />
The Child - I refer to those in SL who have their main role-play overlay of child/parenthood dictate their actions and behavior superceding all else. This is a great source of role-play confusion and super amusing to watch - from a distance.<br />
<br />
The Baby - not at all like the Child, the Baby will whine and groan and stomp and cry because you're not doing it right. Scroll up to near the beginning of this post to read about my experiences with the Baby.<br />
<br />
The Creep - All but complete with greasy hair and heavy breathing, the Creep will "role play" others into any possible form of sexual encounter. Scroll up read about my experiences with the Creep. I need to go wash my hands, I'll BRB.<br />
<br />
I'm sure you have met some colorful characters in your role-play experiences. Because I haven't been that immersed in it, I suppose my exposure is limited. Hey, why not post about a "type" you run across in your adventures? Leave a comment and share what player you encounter! I just ask that you keep names and specific avatars out of it because LL could role-play the Admin type and send you packing if you slander someone. But keep it real!<br />
<br />
No matter what type you are, I'm glad you're part of the diverse world we second-live in! See you around the grid.<br />
<br />
~Love~<br />

I suppose that's why I prefer the LL Beta Viewer (you can paste your scoffs and groans here) because I like to see what's new as soon as I can (and I really don't have any beef with the interface, even though I fully agree it could be much improved). <br />
<br />
There are some very exciting possibilities in the works, and I'll save my breath for lengthy discussions on those for some other time, including 3D mesh objects, cast shadows and textured projections with juicy shadow play. Those are still on Aditi (test servers that you can actually go to if you care to peek at the possible future) but the main grid did recently see something that got my attention right away, and it was something I wasn't even expecting. <br />
<br />
By now, many viewers have released versions that are compatible with physics layers! Phsyics layers? That's what I said. In case you have not experienced these little wonders yet, the SL physics layer is a clothing layer, like the tattoo or alpha layer, that you can generate in inventory and wear. <br />
<br />
You can WEAR phsyics? How does THAT work? The physics layer is worn just like you would wear a shirt or socks or undies, only it governs not what your baked textures look like, but how certain parts of your body... um... behave (or, in most cases, misbehave). <br />
<br />
Editing the physics layer (if you generate a new one yourself or receive one that is mod-enabled) opens a menu in your inventory full of mysterious new sliders and tabs with labels like "butt drag" and "breast gravity" among others. <br />
Attributes can be set for three main body regions: breasts, belly and butt. I won't go into that much depth concerning each setting, but let's say you have a LOT of control over these parts of your avatar's anatomy. You can set bounce, sway and other motion types for various parts and if you can imagine it in real life, chances are you can create corresponding settings to achieve the desired effect in SL. <br />
<br />
The results are surprisingly pleasing! The motion looks great on your avatar if done right. On the same token, it can VERY easily be abused and I can just picture thousands of avatars walking around with ridiculous amounts of bounce, sway and "cleavage" action causing a new wave of SL seasickness. It's still worth having, as so many more will find ways to incorporate the physics into reasonable and tantilizing outfits that enhance the avatar experience.<br />
<br />
Having some experience with the phsyics layers now, I have a few basic tips to keep in mind when you are tweaking those levels on your own: <br />
<br />
1. First consider your avatar's proportions (pay attention to your shape). Unless you are intentionally going for the cartoon-ish effect of wobbling exaggerations, keep the size and the shape of your av's parts in mind in your design.<br />
<br />
2. Next take into stock what your avatar is wearing. If you are wearing a constrictivem tight top, you won't want your mammy friends flopping around like a couple of coffee-riddled frogs. Your skinny jeans will likely take some of the sway out of your bottom too. Likewise, your string bikini will merit a little more generosity on the sliders, wouldn't you agree? <br />
<br />
3. Get to know the functions of each slider. The mroe you know what each and every slider does, the better you will be at making your visions a reality and the faster you will be at it. Take the time to experiment and see what sorts of results you get in different areas of the sliders. Also, anatomy behavior will depend on how the sliders are working with one another. Sliding one slider up may change everything you know about another. Get a feel for them all.<br />
<br />
4. Know that some slider adjustments will immediately change the shape of your avatar at rest! More gravity and mass may make some parts saggier than you would like. Find ways to balance your settings so that your avatar still looks as "perky" or "dumpy" as you intend. Remember, in some cases, you can edit you mod-enabled shape as well to compensate for some of those slider settings that drag you down more than you like. Still, chances are very good you can get the look you want without sacrificing your shape settings. As I said above, get to know the sliders and practice with all of the adjustments to find your perfect settings! <br />
<br />
I am curious to see what comes of the new phsyics added to Second Life. I recently released a free phsyics package to accompany the ~JJ~ Global Proportions shapes, and based on the overwhelming number of people who snapped this up the second it came out, I think there is a hunger for this feature out there on the grid. I can't wait to see more avatars who have adopted this form of expression and I hope to see the feature used more than abused. In the end, it's up to you to make the call. <br />
<br />
Have fun and shake what your Lindens gave ya! <br />
<br />
~Love~ <br />

It is now possible to wear a "physics layer" on your alter ego that puts more than just a little swing in your step. A new life will come to your avatar's breasts, belly and buttocks when these slider-based settings are applied. Not all viewers have this feture built-in yet, but it is likely to catch on quickly. If there was ever an occasion to update to a newer viewer, it may be now. ~JJ~ has some plans for this layer and you will certainly see some bouncy goodies come out of it. So, what's in the works? As of now, the Global Proportions line is expected to receive some physics add-ons that will make those great shapes even better! What will the price be? Nothing! The new physics embellishments for your Global Proportions shapes is planned for a freebie launch! Why not make some stand-alone physics layers for any avatar? Simple. Every shape is unique. Tiny differences in proportions behave differently in RL physics, and the same applies to SL physics. ~JJ~ is committed to providing the best "bounce" for your buck - even if it is totally FREE! Other stores may have "generic" physics layers for you to use with your avatar, but it won't be custom-made JUST FOR YOU! In that case, you could just create a new physics layer on your own and play with the sliders and probably have better luck matching your avatar than any generic item out there. You can be confident that your physics will be made just for your Global Proportions shape - whichever you choose to wear! Be on the lookout for the releases as they are announced here, in the SL Marketplace or in-world! Better yet, join the ~JJ~ Buds group and receive your freebie upon release in the group notice! Aside from that, you will be kept up-to-date on all things ~JJ~ and be eligible for other promotional offers and freebies that others aren't! I look forward to seeing your new "wiggle" soon! ;) ~Love~ Jeanette Doobie~Jeanette Doobie~http://www.blogger.com/profile/10129078521444484632noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4513633195879353376.post-34039670301588650912011-04-12T08:04:00.003-04:002011-04-12T08:26:09.716-04:00~Deadly Disc Combat Arrives~<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPyQ-9vFTv0vntHUbh1nHxTbM0oGfpbHrRfuraHTEtcoQrGKp1W3IVfjWoBySyZLAd6vuvZRTde1d14mbQQgpGueBt0WdYh2RyueTIfSIZ67OiChXxSWwSuO-jVDQSptbwBNvftL3B8Zw/s1600/QuorraPosterTest.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPyQ-9vFTv0vntHUbh1nHxTbM0oGfpbHrRfuraHTEtcoQrGKp1W3IVfjWoBySyZLAd6vuvZRTde1d14mbQQgpGueBt0WdYh2RyueTIfSIZ67OiChXxSWwSuO-jVDQSptbwBNvftL3B8Zw/s400/QuorraPosterTest.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594669209744252210" border="0" /></a><br /></div>~Greetings~<br /><br />You have been waiting for this for a long time. Now is your time!<br /><br />The <a href="https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/JJ-Premium-Combat-Disc/2152010">~JJ~ Premium Combat Disc</a> is complete and available for purchase! Fans of the original <a href="https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Premium-Identity-Disc/1786788">~JJ~ Premium Identity Disc</a> will be excited about the new features built into this battle-ready disc.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkdjb2EMKJWGBacgszpJil9uKXORDw_ckiO0sme9rvhyphenhyphen7nm1PzcX2pwLg6hBM8NqcQmxJEZ20PcGVDD6gGD3XpdcO-XyOcHFzLK60mVBGgz2uZikn2LOjmruORHKQMmQolc6k344rtaaU/s1600/PremiumCombatDiscAd.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkdjb2EMKJWGBacgszpJil9uKXORDw_ckiO0sme9rvhyphenhyphen7nm1PzcX2pwLg6hBM8NqcQmxJEZ20PcGVDD6gGD3XpdcO-XyOcHFzLK60mVBGgz2uZikn2LOjmruORHKQMmQolc6k344rtaaU/s400/PremiumCombatDiscAd.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594669211855043026" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br />Combat is optional as the new disc can be worn completely for show, packed with tons of goodies for the avatar with a grid-oriented fashion sense. If you do want to battle against your opponents who also have the disc, you certainly can with as many players as you like! The new combat system was designed uniquely for this disc. An optional status display can be hidden for a more realistic approach to combat.<br /><br />The disc is throwable and returns to you automatically. There are built-in failsafes that will return the disc even if it gets stuck on something in-world such as a sim that does not allow rezzing or a sim border. Even if SL eats your disc, you can reset the controls and throw another in no time! Besides that, the disc is copy and mod, so you can tweak and play without worrying that you will lose it or ruin it!<br /><br />Besides it's mod ability, there are many features you can customize with the robust touch menu. It has 10 colors to choose from and 10 instant glow settings. You can turn the data display (different from the combat display) and the likeness display on and off, switch from dark to light disc (for all you Sirens out there), and much more!<br /><br />Also, new to this disc - custom ANIMATIONS and SOUNDS! Watch your avatar throw and catch the disc, sheath and unsheath it (yes, it can do that!), and play several unique animations selectable from the menu. You will also see new animations for combat hits, derez hits and more! Hear the disc whizzing around and bouncing off of walls and obstacles. There are even sounds for many of the other features. Hear your opponents get slammed with a hit or derez!<br /><br />A LOT went into this disc and it shows! Thanks to the popularity of it's predecessor, this disc is able to come out at a great price! For no more than the cost of a small upgrade, you can get the disc package brand new!<br /><br />Take your themed avatar to the next level! You have been waiting and the wait is over!<br /><br />~Love~<br /><br />Jeanette Doobie~Jeanette Doobie~http://www.blogger.com/profile/10129078521444484632noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4513633195879353376.post-12594344838862181842011-03-23T11:35:00.003-04:002011-03-23T11:50:04.401-04:00~NEW~ Tintable Light Outfits!~Greetings~<br /><br />In case you missed the past post - because it was small and quick - back up one to see the new ~JJ~ locations in-world! They are in some new and exciting places and feature all the latest ~JJ~ has to offer and the peeps who run the sims are very cool!<br /><br />This post, however, is where you get to see the newest items released - and they are ~awesome~ to say the least!<br /><br />The two new outfits - out now - are the <a href="https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/JJ-AstraTex-Outfit/2053873">AstraTex</a> and <a href="https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/JJ-SolaTex-Outfit/2053906">SolaTex</a> body suits. They are based on the <a href="https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/JJ-LumaTex-Body-Suit-MegaPack/1929487">LumaTex</a> line but these ~include~ the skirt and belt components right out of the box! The <a href="https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/JJ-Beam-Boots/2053911">~JJ~ Beam Boots</a> are sold separately, but are designed to work perfectly with either outfit.<br /><br />The new apparel is completely tintable! It looks great no matter what color scheme you choose to fit your mood. I say color "scheme" because the base body suit is tintable separately from the light ,ines portions, so you can invent your own combinations to really give your light suit a unique look that is completely ~you~!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjruMxJWA-NWqHoqlWj0vrhPE5rnTZlFFWU5OPTewSU4lAmcPe1f3LiZnkpm33yAzGU572v9e1OSApvnaDe0k4kXbxSzeQL7_OxayW3lsKG8E9truMPv_6AMBNkvU1gNrafQvpXXkPcks4/s1600/AstraTexOutfitAd.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjruMxJWA-NWqHoqlWj0vrhPE5rnTZlFFWU5OPTewSU4lAmcPe1f3LiZnkpm33yAzGU572v9e1OSApvnaDe0k4kXbxSzeQL7_OxayW3lsKG8E9truMPv_6AMBNkvU1gNrafQvpXXkPcks4/s400/AstraTexOutfitAd.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587301933990348434" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/JJ-AstraTex-Outfit/2053873">~JJ~ AstraTex Outfit</a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc0GPQPTFIjkwuxfEQXMXlH6TXyeoyewa8WsX8b8NDCPf6lJV7jo9JZsMO43kM8b1n-JSJ_ooglv9Otaqs6SAfkPvT1jzWERlbtud0tHcxyq4CtJgRSNfL8TTVglwdycxpGOE6gnZNOVw/s1600/SolaTexOutfitAd.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc0GPQPTFIjkwuxfEQXMXlH6TXyeoyewa8WsX8b8NDCPf6lJV7jo9JZsMO43kM8b1n-JSJ_ooglv9Otaqs6SAfkPvT1jzWERlbtud0tHcxyq4CtJgRSNfL8TTVglwdycxpGOE6gnZNOVw/s400/SolaTexOutfitAd.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587301934578267138" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/JJ-SolaTex-Outfit/2053906">~JJ~ SolaTex Outfit</a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr8NhZSB_BmN3vDJDswqDWcLcWq4ZeSnjMqhMnlBQ2eLktQpXV1Fnbj19ft-eUwadhQTHghhKwSYougkAs62dLsHMePAlQVwloHDkIBmTZ_X7esWp59ZzEKTEv5LJY3jNZzsY5pfFSW0c/s1600/BeamBootsAd.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr8NhZSB_BmN3vDJDswqDWcLcWq4ZeSnjMqhMnlBQ2eLktQpXV1Fnbj19ft-eUwadhQTHghhKwSYougkAs62dLsHMePAlQVwloHDkIBmTZ_X7esWp59ZzEKTEv5LJY3jNZzsY5pfFSW0c/s400/BeamBootsAd.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587301928054629810" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/JJ-Beam-Boots/2053911">~JJ~ Beam Boots</a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Click the links to check them out in the SL Marketplace or give them a gander in-world!
