Vanity Fair Models the Latest Fashions from the Sinespace Shop

Did You Know? Sinespace female avatar fashions are designed to fit EVERY female avatar body. You don’t have to check to see if apparel or footwear are designed for a specific brand of female body, like you have to do in Second Life (e.g. Maitreya Lara, Belleza Freya, Slink Physique, etc.). Also, you don’t have to fuss with a HUD to make parts of your body invisible under apparel; the clothing fits perfectly, and it adjusts if you make any changes to the body sliders!

Oh, and did I mention that Sinespace has working in-world cloth physics on skirts and dresses? Check out the videos to see it in action here and here!

As you might already know, I have brought former Second Life supermodel, Vanity Fair, over to Sinespace, where she models clothing for this blog! Here, Vanity Fair is wearing her standard, go-to casual outfit at the Sinespace Welcome Centre, which consists of:

I decided to check out the new line of female T-shirts by Z-Art, and I picked out this Music Notes tee (only 40 Gold). There are many designs available!

Next we have a real bargain! This Moon top by ELL costs only 1 Gold (or 1 Silver, Sinespace’s promotional currrency) per colour. It comes in six different shades:

To go with the Moon top in blue, I added the frilly denim Jay skirt, also by ELL (99 Gold), which also comes in a variety of colours:

Looking good!

Our next outfit is the sexy, short, bodycon Eris dress (99 Gold) by PrettyDeceased, which comes in six different patterns (here, I chose the flamingo design). You might also want to spring for the matching Eris thigh-high boots (also 99 Gold per pattern), not shown here.

The sandals I used on that outfit form part of a bundle, the Boho Evensong outfit from Daz Originals (1,105 Gold). You get everything you see below: the sandals, faded jean shorts, a tank top, a lovely see-through lace top you can wear over the tank top, and even a set of bangles for your wrist!

Remember that when you purchase a bundled item like the Boho Evensong outfit, you first have to go into your Sinespace inventory, click on the icon, and select Use (see the green arrow in the image below):

Once you have clicked on the Use button, you will be presented with a list of all the items in that bundle. Simply click on the Get button below the list (see green arrow below):

…And it’s all unpacked, and each separate item is automatically added to the appropriate section under the Outfit tab: Top, Bottom, Accessory, etc.:

Here’s a look at the entire Boho outfit. You’re all set for the next virtual folk festival!

This Boho outfit also comes in four other colour combination bundles, and if you prefer, you can purchase each item separately in the Sinespace Shop.

Happy shopping!

Sinespace Creator Spotlight: Some of the Latest in Male Fashions from the Sinespace Shop

Following up on a recent blogpost of the latest fashions for female avatars from the Sinespace Shop, I thought it was time we looked at what was new in the store for male avatars.

Our first look is for LGBTQ Pride! The Prideful tank top by Pretty Deceased comes in two versions, one black and one white, for only 1 Silver each! These absolutely fabulous, tintable, resizable wings are the Angel Wings (male) by wolfgraphics, and are for sale for either 10 Gold or 1,000 Silver in the Sinespace Shop!

The second outfit is a retro aviator look from Daz Originals. The Retro Aviator boots, Retro Aviator pants, and the wonderfully-detailed Retro Aviator jacket are 159 Gold each:

Our final, casual, contemporary look consists of the Loose Tee (male) by BlakOpal Designs (which comes in 10 colours for only 49 Gold each, or the complete bundle of 10 for 346 Gold), the Jaleano ripped blue jeans from ELL (99 Gold), and the HG Atlas Hope sneakers by Virtual Dispensary (200 Gold):

The detail on the red, white and blue Atlas high-top sneakers is amazing!

Daz 3D Avatars and Clothing in Sinespace: A Look at Three of the New, More Realistic-Looking Human Avatars from Daz Originals Now Available in the Sinespace Shop!

This blogpost is sponsored by Sinespace, and was written in my new role as an embedded reporter for this virtual world (more details here).

Daz Productions, better known as Daz 3D, is a software company specializing in providing rigged three-dimensional human models and associated accessory content, for countless markets. You might have seen Daz 3D models used in games, advertisements, and movies, perhaps without even knowing it. I know an author who uses Daz 3D models to create images to illustrate the science fiction novel he is writing.

Forbes recently reported that Daz 3D has become a featured developer for Sinespace, providing whole avatars, clothing, and accessories to purchase from the Sinespace Shop (their store brand is called Daz Originals):

You can see some of the new Daz Originals avatars in this two-minute YouTube video which was recently published by Sinespace, showing the almost endless options of their powerful avatar customization system:

So, I decided to take some of these Daz Originals avatars out for a test drive. And I have written up step-by-step instructions on how you can get started, for free! (If you act quickly.)

I started with a freebie I picked up using the promotion code in the Forbes article, the Shyla skin and shape bundle; the promo code is only good for the first 50 people who use it, but I just tested it with an alt and it still works as of the day I wrote this blogpost, Jan. 4th, so be sure to snap it up before she’s gone! If you missed your chance to get a promo code for the free Shyla offer via Forbes, you can purchase the complete Shyla avatar bundle for 1,355 Gold in the Sinespace Shop.

You’ll have to have a Sinespace account already set up to use the promo code (if you haven’t done that yet, here are step-by-step instructions). Then sign into the Sinespace website with your username and password, click on My Account in the top menu, then click on Redeem Code:

Once you have redeemed the promo code, open your Sinespace client and click on the Inventory button. Up top you should see an icon for the Shyla bundle, which you must unpack before you can use. Click on the Shyla icon in your inventory, and select Use:

Then you will get a listing of the contents of the bundle. Click the Get button to receive the items into the various skin and outfits folders.

Then, click on Outfit, and click to create a new female avatar:

You’ll be asked to give her a name. Then, starting from the default female avatar, click on the Wearing button (the wardrobe), and remove everything—we’re starting from scratch here!

Now, click on the Body button on the right hand side, and select all three of the following items under Morphs (this is important):

  • Base Shape Body F
  • Base Shape Head F
  • Shyla Female Face Shape

Then, click the Skin button, and add the Shyla eyes and skin:

Then, dress her as you like using clothing under your Accessory, Body, Top, and Bottom buttons!

Be sure to click the Save & Close button in the bottom right-hand corner of the Outfit window to save your new creation!

I did a little bit of fiddling with the default dimensions of the Shyla avatar (I gave her a bit more muscle tone, and for some reason, the default hands were rather large). I also shopped for some new hair, and a new pair of brown eyes I liked much better than the default Shyla ones. Here’s a few pictures I took. The detail on the skin texture is insane!

Then, to outfit her properly, I purchased the Solaris outfit in black from Daz Originals, which is a complete, mix-and-match set including a miniskirt, leggings, boots, corset, belt, bra, gloves, a shrug and a necklace. The Solaris outfit comes in turquoise, copper, pink-and-white, or black-and-silver, for 605 Gold each.

After Shyla, I bought two different male avatars from Daz Originals.

Here is the incredibly realistic-looking Mr. Woo avatar (2,505 Gold in the Sinespace Shop), wearing the red-and-black Wise Master outfit (639 Gold):

Then I purchased the Luke avatar (1,075 Gold), the Soledad hair in red (99 Gold) and the Beast Master outfit in gold and white (665 Gold). A very impressive warrior indeed! The skin quality is, once again, excellent.

The detail on the clothing and armour is incredible!

The Beast Master outfit also comes in iron, navy, red, and black, for 605 Gold each (you can also buy each piece separately if you wish):

It is clear that we are going to have some really good, realistic-looking avatars in Sinespace! I’m looking forward to seeing what other Daz 3D assets become available in Sinespace. This looks to be the start of a very fruitful partnership. Adam Frisby, the Chief Product Officer for Sinespace, says:

We’re really excited to see Daz’s work come into Sinespace, they’ve got an amazing character library with so much original content that’s never been in a virtual world legitimately before. Furthermore, their content is all designed to work nicely with all our other fantastic creators’ avatar content – so you can mix and match your favourite Daz content with your favourite content by our other creators.

The coolest thing is they’re pioneering a lot of our new morph technology, we’ve been really keen to see that take off, and to have such an esteemed developers content using it, is really something we love.
