On December 26, Samara Barzane issued a challenge: Share the three things in our inventory we couldn’t bear to part with. I’ve been thinking about it since, and I think I’ve finally come up with my three…sort of. So, without further ado…
1. Vetro Eyes by Exodi
Specifically, Vetro in Blue, Large with Veins. I’ve always loved Ryker Beck’s eyes, going all the way back to her Genesis line, but these are the ones I consider to be “my” eyes. I may wear them in different colors periodically, but I almost always come back to blue, and I always come back to Vetro.
2. Truth Hair
I’m cheating a little bit and not selecting a single hairstyle, because I love everything Truth Hawks has made, particularly his most recent releases. Full disclosure time. I haven’t always been a die-hard Truth fan. I spent my first several months in SL as a blonde and I just couldn’t find the blonde shade that I loved at Truth. But I kept trying because I liked the styles so much. Eventually, I gave in to Truth’s yummy brunette shades and I’ve never looked back. Ironically, though, it is Truth, with his new textures, that has led me back to my blonde roots. There are other hair designers whom I love: Lamb Bellic, Autumn Hykova, and Aemilia Case are at the top of the list, but I would indeed be lost without my collection of Truth.
3. FilterCam HUD by Mechanized Life
In my inventory, you will find every incarnation of FilterCam ever created by CodeBastard Redgrave. Every. Single. One. And I still have the first photograph I took using the very first MachinimaCam Filter 0.11 on October 1, 2008. Since then, I’ve watched Codie shape the FilterCam from concept to release, through upgrade after upgrade, and there is no other single item in my inventory that gets as much screen time as the FilterCam. There are so many frames and effects to choose from, I rarely open Photoshop for anything more than a quick crop…and to make new masks! This is one gadget that you will have to pry from my cold, dead pixels.
There you have it, my Three Little Things. What’s on your list?
I will have a post on this tomorrow (Tuesday) but must confess my Verto eyes are among those things I could not enjoy SL without! Purrfect pic for Machinima Cam!
