I’ve AVATARized my avatar! You can check mine out in action here. Or make your own!
The movie was great, had great special effects and some really good actors in it. I didn’t care for some of the characters though, like the military guy, cos they made him totally cheesy and gave him predictable bad guy dialogues. I like bad guys who are likable too!! This was just plain bad and bad acting and bad hair and bad tan, LOL!
Sorry, James Cameron.

New Truth Hair colors! I like that natural hair colors are now joined into a single pack, so you get both the light and dark colors. I’m a fan of the new Selection pack too, which has a bit of both natural hair colors and rainbow colors. It’s great to see brands constantly improving their products, so that customers can get the best deals.

Old Truth Hair Color Packs – Light Blondes, Blondes, Light Browns, Browns, Gingers, Reds, Black&Whites, Pastels, Colours, Variety
I am wearing the newest Scout hairstyle from Truth. I noticed that the newer hairstyles now include a Hair Stylist HUD to change the different options. It wasn’t difficult to change the hairstyles before, but I really appreciate this new addition, cos now I don’t have to change the hairstyle and recolor it. It’s also fun to swap between the options quickly and see their differences.
I’m sitting on the new Palisades Bar & Accessories from What Next. I love home decor with food & drinks included! I like juicy fruits the best; nothing says tropical summer goodness like lemons and limes.

New Dutch Touch Jolie skins have the prettiest little faces and lightest brows I’ve seen on a DT skin yet! These new Pip makeups on Jolie are so whimsical and adorable and cheerful! Who doesn’t love hearts-shaped lips? I am wearing the Jolie skins in Creme skin tone below:
These skins have 2 cleavage options as well – I’m just wearing the regular boobs here, but there is a very nice push-up version too.

What’s a tone mapper? A tone mapper adjusts the brightness and colors in a game to make it look good on different screens. It helps ensure bright and dark areas are clear and detailed, without being too washed out or too dark.
For ages, we have been using the ACES tone mapper in Second Life, but then suddenly, Second Life introduced the Khronos tone mapper, which I have been told is better for video games. I’ve seen various tone mapper options in the Alchemy viewer before, but I decided to venture back into the latest Firestorm beta viewer to see how everything appeared with Khronos.
First impressions: it’s brighter. I think it’s nice, but if you choose to switch to Khronos, be aware that you may need to adjust some or all of your EEP settings.
I suppose I’m making the switch, so going forward, all of my EEPs will be created for Khronos unless I am using the Alchemy viewer, which has not yet integrated this new tone map.
It’s worth noting that Khronos does not fix the issues with broken Second Life PBR water or skies, but the skies are slightly better. The water still has a long way to go before it’s good.
To change your tone mapper
Firestorm Beta 7.1.12
Graphics -> Rendering -> Tone Mapper: Select Khronos Neutral
Second Life Viewer
Graphics -> Advanced Graphics Settings -> Tone Mapper: Khronos Neutral
Leave Tone Mapping Mix at 0.7, I have no idea what that does.
I’m also a fan of the new SMAA antialiasing, try it out!

Now that nearly everyone is creating 2k BoM skins, I’ve noticed a significant improvement in quality. I immediately fell in love with the Yenna skin from Amara Beauty that I recently tried on. I was a huge fan of this brand until they began introducing shaded noses and freckles that I found impossible to remove. However, this Yenna skin is smooth and incredibly beautiful. I would actually wear it without any tattoo fixes; the brows are a tad bushy, but since I prefer neater brows, I chose to wear the no-brows version and added my own adjustments.
I filmed a short video clip to demonstrate how the skin looks without tattoos and gradually transforms as I apply some of Izzie’s skin fixes on top. My favorites for this skin include the Blush/Contour Remover, Eye Fix, and an additional Chin Highlight.
For this look, I’m wearing the Ethereal Essence Body Skin (Slim), which blended quite well with the Velour head skin tone. I am still hopeful for a less shiny update for this body skin, or at least having the body shine on a separate tattoo layer because we don’t always want to be that shiny.
I managed to avatarize myself but it wouldn’t save! How do you save it? I did the download image and it brought up my picture file but it wouldn’t save. I tried it three times. Am I doing something wrong? And when I tried to email it – it just sent the link, no photo.
Advice would be good. I would like to post it to FB.
Thanks
Leslie
I created mine at http://reface.me/profile-pictures/avatarize-yourself before and was able to save it. Or you could try another browser?
