NEW SHOTS II
February 10, 2008
If you haven’t got a change to attend the fashion show, here are the outfits I modelled.
I wish that people that attend these events would be more kind to models. In the runway we have to struggle with lag trying to look our best for others. The models usually reduce their graphics to the minimum. We expect that people that attend the events remove their AOs and all scripted attachments, remove their flip titles and remove all the bling they might be using. (Yes, we had blingtards attending the show!) Also, wear low prim hair and don’t use too many prims in the outfit you wear at the show, like jewellery. People are there to see the models, not you!
I was very proud to model outfits from GHOST! and Aphrodite Creations wearing Aphrodite’ shoes for METRO models.
If you want to see more pictures of the show you will find them in McFisto Furse flickr stream. You can beautiful pics like those when you have a profissional photographer doing them.

How did you manage to create the “unfocused” effect so neatly??
Oh, btw, and just for the record… “removing all attachments” is an outdated request to “reduce lag”. Scripts don’t affect client-side lag, and these days, they don’t affect server-side lag either — since late 2006. Still, old habits die hard, and I’m sure this will continue, even with Mono being rolled out (which will allow scripts to run 150x to 500x times faster!) — people are just used to the “urban legend” that “attachments create lag” so they will continue to ask us to remove them
The same applies to particles as well — they’re just client-side and easily turned off.
What does create lag are complex, high-prim attachments. Wearing 500-prim-hair with twisted torii could, in theory, mean some extra 10,000 polygons to render per avatar. One avatar just with “Linden clothing” has less than 7,500 polygons. Avatars are by far the hugest source of lag in SL, but 500-prim-hair is laggy, too!
Don’t worry too much about 500-prim-bracelets though — they’re too tiny to make any difference: Second Life now aggressively culls the tiny attachments, so they won’t really lag a lot. All this happens on the client automatically.
The last pic is by McFisto Furse. I couldn’t model and take pics.
Thanks for the explanation, Gwyn!
What?! Gywn that is public service, dear! Can I post it? Please please please! Give your all due credits and all.

Hmm well, I’ve seen this issue being recently discussed so often, that I blogged about it instead…
Thanks!
