Summer break

Featuring pieces from Zaara’s awesome collection  from the June Arcade. (Also a building from Tarte, items from Junk and Anc’s peacock!)

Stretching her legs: Abigel Nightfire. She could not decide if she should go with pink or blue shades… well both rock.

Enjoying the sun and shades in RL too: I am spending less time in front of the screen, please excuse the break in my blogging. I do have a surprise project, but it takes a bit longer than planned.

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.

• 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.)
