Slugs and Snails and Puppy-Dogs' Tails

Slug Daddy brought Puppy Puddlegum a lovely new avatar - the HybridZ Latex Snail created by Fyre Furse!

And what more appropriate place to go take a few snaps than the 'Happy Mood' parcel on the (*^-^*) HPMD region.

HPMD is a great place for snapshots but be aware that it is a 'General' rated region. Also, because of the heavy use of 32bit alpha textures and sculpties on certain parts of the region, filming here can be problematic - you can turn the camera and the fps will plummet like a brick! But nevertheless, it is a gorgeous region and worth taking the time to visit.

Thanks, Slug Daddy!

Slug Daddy & Puppy Puddlegum Go Down in Mayfair

On returning from an RL art gallery located in Mayfair London, I was bemused to see the Quan Lavender had just that moment posted a review of her visit to the SL Mayfair.

I resolved to go visit immediately – this sounded like a perfect assignment for Slug Daddy and Puppy Puddlegum!

The interesting thing about SL Mayfair is that it is entirely made of mesh. And, I must say, it looks great.

Last figures I saw from LLab, approx. 2 weeks ago, 80% of viewers logging into SL are mesh-enabled. At the risk of stating the obvious, if you are not using a mesh-enabled viewer then Mayfair will look a complete mess to you. It seriously is about time you updated.

I have been wearing mesh clothes for quite a while now and, for the most part, I really like it. It is not without problems, mainly due to the necessity of changing the avatar shape to fit the mesh rather than the mesh moulding to the avatar shape.

However, the number of people who IM saying things like “Please rebake, I can’t see your mid-section” or “You need to re-log” has dropped considerably. I assume that’s because more and more are using mesh-enabled viewers, as LLab state.

Slug Daddy was saddened to note that the SL Mayfair region is rated ‘General’. This prevented him from stroking his Puppy in public.
