The Adventuress

Awesome creations are out this month on several events. Larissa’s favorite personality is “The Adventuress” sometimes in a Steampunk, sometimes in a full on fantasy setting. Realm of Mystara seemed like a perfect location for this shoot. The pants were featured in a previous post, but I just like them too much 🙂

Lar featuring Zibska

I know I probably should not post twice a day, but I am rather happy with the outcome and could not wait. I think the pose complements the outfit and hair perfectly. Well, let me know if you agree… I have had some fun looking for the perfect angle / lighting and pose for a while. Below are some more results. I am still using slight variations of the windlight settings detailed here.

AMD mesh/shadow issue workaround

After a heavy hardware update I discovered that there is a glitch with the latest AMD drivers that needs a workaround, and I have uploaded a few files that help with this. Basically the meshes worn on the avatar become invisible when hardware skinning is turned on. If you experience the problem, or know someone who has such issues, this workaround is a handy trick.

• Description of the problem:

• Description of the solution (with fix to the mesh problem):

• 14.4 version files to download and copy to your SL viewer folder, these fix the shadow issues too:

To celebrate getting my shadows back, and also the release of the new Maitreya mesh body, Larissa decided to boycott winter and is wearing Zaara jewelry and Larissa’s swirly bikinis. She is also wearing Argrace hair and her usual old skin from Belleza. (Edit: the face skin is from Belleza, on the body she is wearing the “mixed” skin applier from DeeTalez.)
