Are you an eBODY Reborn user who wants to achieve a skinny shape without giving up the curvy body you love? Look no further! In this blog post, we will guide you through the process of creating a harmonious and convincing skinny shape for your eBODY Reborn.
Understanding the Complexity
Lowering the values of the different sliders may not be enough to achieve the desired skinny look. The key lies in creating harmony between the various shape adjustments. Since the eBODY Reborn was originally designed as a curvy body, modifying it to appear skinny requires a more nuanced approach.
My Skinny Reborn Shape
Step by Step Guide
1. Start with a Backup
Before making any modifications to your shape, it’s always a good idea to create a backup. This way, you can easily revert to your original shape if you are not satisfied with the results.
2. Adjusting the Torso
Begin by reducing the body fat and muscle values in the torso region. Gradually lower these values until you achieve a slimmer appearance. Be cautious not to go too extreme, as maintaining a natural look is important.
3. Slimming the Legs and Arms
Next, focus on the legs and arms. Lower the muscle and body fat values for these areas as well. Pay attention to the proportions and ensure that they remain in balance with the rest of the body.
4. Enhancing the Waistline
To create a more slender waistline, increase the hip angle and reduce the width of the hips slightly. This will help to accentuate an hourglass figure while maintaining a slim appearance.
5. Fine-Tuning the Head and Face
Finally, make slight adjustments to the head and face to complement the overall skinny shape. Reduce the cheek puffiness and adjust the jawline for a more defined look. Avoid going too extreme, as facial adjustments can significantly impact the character of your avatar.
If after following the step-by-step guide, you find that the result is still not satisfactory, there is another option you can explore: deformers. Deformers are accessories that can help you further modify and refine your avatar’s shape. In the case of the eBODY Reborn, the Pretty Liars deformers are highly recommended. These deformers are specifically designed to work with the Reborn body, offering a range of adjustments that can help you achieve even more customization and precision in shaping your avatar. By incorporating deformers into your modification process, you can fine-tune the details and achieve the exact look you desire. Remember, experimenting with different tools and techniques is part of the creative journey, so don’t hesitate to explore the possibilities that deformers provide.
By following these steps and finding the perfect balance between different shape modifications, you can achieve a convincing skinny shape while retaining the beauty and essence of eBODY Reborn’s curvy body. Embrace the versatility of your avatar and enjoy exploring new looks with confidence!
Remember, creating a modified shape is a personal journey, and it may require some trial and error to achieve your desired result. Feel free to experiment and adjust until you find the perfect balance that makes you happy.
You bought beautiful new hair that surrounds your shoulders and flows down your chest: you are already anticipating the final result on your avatar, but something ruins your expectations. Hair hides part of your clothing underneath! This situation occurs when two rigged meshes with alpha textures make each other partially invisible. A picture is worth a thousand words:
Alpha Glitch
It’s a problem that drives photographers crazy but let’s face it, even without being bloggers, this flaw causes a lot of annoyance.
The good news is that this defect is now fixable!
Linden Lab has, in fact, introduced the priorities that help us a lot in this unpleasant situation. To understand priorities and how they work, you can compare them to Photoshop layers. For example, in PS, the layer above precedes the layer below (it hides the layer below). Well, priorities work the same way.
Ok, but what determines which object has priority?
Two aspects define the priority :
The point of attack
The transparent root prim
For now, let’s focus on the first aspect. The attachment point is the bone to which the object is attached. For example, the hair is attached to the “skull, “while the sweater is attached to the “right hand. “
The hair is attached to the “skull.”The sweater is attached to the “right hand.”
The problem does not exist in my current situation because “skull” has priority over “right hand.” (Skull is the PS level above, while Right Hand is below).
Great, but how do I know the order of priorities of the bones?
Here is a list that will clarify any doubts.
1 – Chest 2 – Skull 3 – Left Shoulder 4 – Right Shoulder 5 – Left Hand 6 – Right Hand 7 – Left Foot 8 – Right Foot 9 – Spine 10 – Pelvis 11 – Mouth 12 – Chin 13 – Left Ear 14 – Right Ear 15 – Left Eyeball 16 – Right Eyeball 17 – Nose 18 – R Upper Arm 19 – R Forearm 20 – L Upper Arm 21 – L Forearm 22 – Right Hip 23 – R Upper Leg 24 – R Lower Leg 25 – Left Hip 26 – L Upper Leg 27 – L Lower Leg 28 – Stomach 29 – Left Pec 30 – Right Pec 31 – [HUD] Center 2 32 – [HUD] Top Right 33 – [HUD] Top 34 – [HUD] Top Left 35 – [HUD] Center 36 – [HUD] Bottom Left 37 – [HUD] Bottom 38 – [HUD] Bottom Right 39 – Neck 40 – Avatar Center 41 – Left Ring Finger 42 – Right Ring Finger 43 – Tail Base 44 – Tail Tip 45 – Left Wing 46 – Right Wing 47 – Jaw 48 – Alt Left Ear 49 – Alt Right Ear 50 – Alt Left Eye 51 – Alt Right Eye 52 – Tongue 53 – Groin 54 – Left Hind Foot 55 – Right Hind Foot
Note that the lower the number, the higher the priority. As you can see, “skull” corresponds to the number 2, while “right hand” to the number 6. So it’s easy to understand why the problem doesn’t exist, right? 😉
Come correggere l’errore Alpha di due mesh riggate? Il problema dei capelli e degli indumenti indossati
Hai comprato dei bellissimi capelli nuovi che circondano le tue spalle e scivolano sul petto: stai già pregustando il risultato finale sul tuo avatar però qualcosa rovina le tue aspettative. I capelli nascondono parte dei tuoi indumenti sottostanti! Questa situazione capita quando ci sono due mesh riggate con delle alpha textures che si rendono reciprocamente e parzialmente invisibili. Un’immagine vale più di mille parole:
Alpha Glitch
E’ un problema che fa impazzire i fotografi ma, diciamolo, anche senza essere dei bloggers, questo difetto dà parecchio fastidio.
La bella novità è che adesso questo difetto è risolvibile!
Linden Lab ha infatti introdotto le priorità che ci aiutano molto in questa sgradevole situazione. Per capire cosa sono le priorità e come funzionano le puoi paragonare ai livelli di Photoshop. In PS, il livello soprastante è prioritario rispetto a quello sottostante (infatti nasconde il livello sottostante). Beh, le priorità funzionano allo stesso modo.
Ok, ma cosa stabilisce quale oggetto ha la priorità?
Ci sono due aspetti che definiscono la priorità:
Il punto di attacco
Il root prim trasparente
Per il momento concentriamoci sul primo aspetto. Il punto di attacco è l’osso a cui l’oggetto risulta collegato. Nel mio caso, ad esempio, i capelli sono attaccati a “cranio“, mentre il maglione risulta attaccato a “mano destra“.
I capelli sono attaccati a “cranio”Il maglione è attaccato a “mano destra”
Nella mia situazione attuale il problema non sussiste perchè “cranio” è prioritario rispetto a “mano destra”. (Cranio è il livello di PS soprastante, mentre Mano Destra è quello sottostante).
Ottimo, ma come faccio a sapere l’ordine delle priorità delle ossa?
Eccoti un elenco che ti chiarirà ogni dubbio.
1 – Chest 2 – Skull 3 – Left Shoulder 4 – Right Shoulder 5 – Left Hand 6 – Right Hand 7 – Left Foot 8 – Right Foot 9 – Spine 10 – Pelvis 11 – Mouth 12 – Chin 13 – Left Ear 14 – Right Ear 15 – Left Eyeball 16 – Right Eyeball 17 – Nose 18 – R Upper Arm 19 – R Forearm 20 – L Upper Arm 21 – L Forearm 22 – Right Hip 23 – R Upper Leg 24 – R Lower Leg 25 – Left Hip 26 – L Upper Leg 27 – L Lower Leg 28 – Stomach 29 – Left Pec 30 – Right Pec 31 – [HUD] Center 2 32 – [HUD] Top Right 33 – [HUD] Top 34 – [HUD] Top Left 35 – [HUD] Center 36 – [HUD] Bottom Left 37 – [HUD] Bottom 38 – [HUD] Bottom Right 39 – Neck 40 – Avatar Center 41 – Left Ring Finger 42 – Right Ring Finger 43 – Tail Base 44 – Tail Tip 45 – Left Wing 46 – Right Wing 47 – Jaw 48 – Alt Left Ear 49 – Alt Right Ear 50 – Alt Left Eye 51 – Alt Right Eye 52 – Tongue 53 – Groin 54 – Left Hind Foot 55 – Right Hind Foot
Tieni presente che quanto è più basso è il numero quanto più alta è la priorità. Come puoi vedere “cranio” corrisponde al numero 2, mentre “mano destra” al numero 6. E’ facile quindi capire perchè il problema non sussite, giusto? 😉
Enjoyable speed process about how to take photos and edit using Photoshop. If you slow down the speed on Youtube, it’s not hard to understand what she is doing if you are familiar with Balck Dragon and Photoshop.
