Took a few days off, with some difficult side quests too. Been working on character models for the project, but needed a break. Something simple. So I redid the pallet and created another box model too.
To borrow a saying, "It all starts with a box."

Today was spent working on the undercarriage. The rear-steering of real forklifts is an engineering marvel! The rear wheels are able to pivot nearly 170°, allowing for incredibly tight turns. Capturing that in 𝒓𝒆𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒍𝒚 low-poly was a huge challenge.

#SecondLife readers.. are you struggling with the amount of unfiltered spam from certain businesses in SL? Tired of playing 'whack-a-mole' with every incentivized poster who's using a certain hashtag?

Hours spent refactoring the 'block' color palette that I'm using, startin with a simple palette from @imphenzia.bsky.social, then got the idea for PBR materials, from @whilefree on YouTube. But after all that, I've got emissives!
Now, where should I... 𝙥𝙪𝙩 this thing?

The only problem comes when someone asks "hey, where did you get that?" and you have to explain that it's made out of 15 different freebies that they'll have to chase all over SL to find.

The reason why you see them appear at the Adult telehubs is *NOT* because they were in an adult region that went down.

Is it AI? Is it artist's work? Does Grandma, or the operators of the Saturday crafts market, or the church newsletter, or the office staff at the Elementary school even care?

The entire clipart market is basically lost to any real human. You can't generate 1000 pictures of cute kittens in an hour. Maybe it gets 70% wrong.. but how many does it have to get 'good enough' to be faster than an artist?

After years upon years of making child avs into 'the scapegoat' for SL's security and moderation issues.. I felt this way at SLB5 in 2005, and still feel this way today.

Let's add a little more spice, for supporting the pouches.

The dots were generated from the top and bottom 'centers' of an array of prims, arranged inworld to make a '3D sketch' of a belt, using The Black Box's "Sculpt Studio" ring tools.
Bit of a convoluted way to go about tracing the hips, but it's a rough estimate of the 'correct shape' for the belt.

Nothing risqué, just a little bit of blender work. Time for a new belt base.

Turns out that the skin-maker's dev kit, didn't work the way I expected it to. Resulting in a lot more 'experimental' work for me. Hit a huge wall and almost threw the project in the bin again.
But an experimental idea worked out, after a couple hours of keeping at it. 🤞

A day's work later, and it feels possible again. Lots of strides forward today. This skin is looking possible again.
Feels like all may not be lost. 😌💕
