Sinful Needs Wings Update!

Greetings, Sinners! The v.2.13 Seraph II and v2.11 Demon Wings updates just went out full of some A4 refinements, including a workaround for that annoying issue where the wings don't show they are repositioning until you take them off and put them back on. The Update notes are:

    Package now includes an A4 HUD Lite for customization. See package notecards for details.
    Added in a workaround to the A4 Scripting to full attachments will now correctly reposition via script, without having to remove them to force a viewer update.
    Added Coms handler to Wing Core scripts to receive the Hide/Show command from the Wings panel buttons added last HUD update.
    Added subpart bypass for Shoulders/Wings PSR to perform 'ALL' changes to wings. Which just means that Shoulders/Wings will properly adjust the positional and rotational adjustments for the whole wings at the root prim as they should.

The big thing for new customers is the A4 HUD Lite, which is something that will be getting to all items as they are updated to the latest scripting. This move has become necessary as I start working with more and more specialized textures for attachments (like the Ears, Breasts, Mesh Horns, etc). That said, don't give up on your One HUD package... additions will be coming to that package in it's next update, including some more useful package options and new gifts for HUD owners ;)

New Mesh Horns!

I polished off the last bit of work for the new Mesh Demon Horns early this morning... and there is an now a Multi-Vendor at the Main Store (right near the entrance) the features 20 new Mesh Demon Horns sets! There are a variety of horn shapes, each featuring several jewelled, decorative bands. New to these horns is the introduction of some PrimTattoo layers, which are used to offer a variety of Special Effects that can be displayed on the Horns and/or Jewelry and Cuticles. These effects range from blood and grime to flowing runes, lightning, fire, and flowing lava! The included HUD features a texture group specifically for the special effects.

Additionally, these horns are the first general attachments to feature the more specialized texturing that will become more prominent at Sinful Needs moving forward, which is why a specially configured A4 HUD Lite is included in the package.

Head to the store to have a look, check out the pics on the Flickr Stream, or hit the SLMP to get yours now. At botht he Main Store and the SLMP, a crate of all 20 Demos are available for free. The Crate sits right in front of the Multi-Vendor at the Main Store... or you can grab it right here at the SLMP.

The Eyes Have It!

Greetings, Sinners! The Occularum Prim Eyes have hit the store! You'll need the A4 HUD for all the customizations, but glow, shine, & texture changing eyes are now waiting for you at Sinful Needs. Oh... did we mention they come with 2 texture packs that house 28 colors of eyes on 10 pupil patterns? 280+ eyes all in one! Ready for any future texture packs Galathir may craft for his eyes... these may be the last pair you ever need!

Gettin' Hot in here!

Galathir is proud to announce his first Special Effects set for Sinful Needs! This powerful set of scripted attachments produces some stunning Hellfire particle effects, which are comprised of Galathir's own custom combination of up to 6 brand new particles, blending together 4 colors you can completely customize through your A4 HUD! Not only can you tweak and massage the colors to create just the look you want, but you also have control over just how much is enough! Starting with the flames particle effects, which are actually comprised of 3 layers of images riding on your palette of 4 custom colors, you can choose to add Sparks, Hellfire Droplets, & Smoke to fill the air with menace or delight to suit your whims!

For a thorough preview of how flexible the effects are, as well as a tutorial on how to wrangle all the power under your control, take a look at the new tutorial video on Galathir's youTube Channel:

Darkspine Sentinels... Bristling and Ready!

The Darkspine Sentinel Armor & Spines sets are the latest full set of demon accessories to hit the vendors at Sinful Needs. The sculpted Darkspine Sentinel plates & spikes really make a statement... while the underlying horns, body spines, & serpentine tail all scream pure demon! As part of the line launch, the bare body spines are also now available for those who aren't into 'heavy metal' but still want to get their demon on! The subsets are coming for those interested in just picking up the Horns, Tail, Back & Breast, Arms, or Legs only... but the full sets and full sets with hooves are available now in the store and on the SL Marketplace here. For more beauty shots, vendor panel images, and to see the options pics, check out our Darkspine Sentinel Flickr Set.

Diabolic Crusader & Dragaerian Templar

I definitely enjoyed getting both of these sets ready to go, since they are both something I enjoy earing myself. The Crusader is a set that I started working on last year, but it went on hold when the TP issues went South. Happily, that is no longer an issue!

The Dragaerian Templar set is intended to help flesh out one of the Elder Races that Sinjun & I will be introducing in the upcoming Role Play Lore for Atlan Tu Sura. Think of them as a cross between Dragons & Demons ;)

You can find both sets in-world at my Main Stores & Shoppes, or on XStreetSL (Crusader & Templar (Wings) or Tempar (No Wings)).

New Release: Chiroptera Wings

By now most of you already know the Chiroptera Wings are finished and available at any A4 Vendor... as well as on XStreetSL! I'm very pleased with the way they turned out, and I think that you all will be as well. They are easily one of the most (if not the most) advanced sculpted wings in SL. They feature:

• 100% New & Custom Sculpts! These wings are brand new, and 100% Galathir's original creation! This means the maps are crafted with the same precision and attention to detail as everything else he creates! Visit the store and take a look at the model... and see for yourself how well the Inner Membrane and Outer Membrane mesh together... no gaps, no seams! Just 100% gorgeous wings!

• Only 8 Sculpt Maps! This means that while they use 59 prims each, they will load VERY quickly! In addition, those sculpt maps remain loaded at ALL TIMES. This means your wings won't ball up when you open or close them while you have to wait for the different maps to load!

• Hide-away Hidden prims! In short, this means that the prims you don't need shrink down and hide away inside the root prim... which means you don't spend time accidentally clicking on the 'open' part of the wings when they are closed and vice versa! No more fighting with accidentally clicking your wings when you are trying to click something in front of your avatar!

• Dynamic Wing Tilt! Unlike most wings, which flap the same no matter what you are doing... standing on the ground... hovering... flying up or down... these new wings react to your actions, giving a much more believable animation! When you are just hovering, the wings tilt forward some, to give the impressing their flapping might actually be generating lift. When you fly up, they reach further up before flapping down, as if actually tryng to move through the air above you. When you fly down, instead of flapping, these wings will trail up above you, as if working more like rudders to control your descent... until you start flapping again!

• Optional SmartWing Automation! Just like my previous wings, these wings can be set (and are, by default) to auto-open and start flapping when you start flying... then go still and fold when you land. Absolutely no buttons to fuss with... they do it all for you!

• Full configuration control over Grounded & Flying states. You can tell the wings how they should act in each state: Open/Close, Fold/Open, Back/Relaxed/Wide/Flapping, and even Hide/Show!

• Complete A4/Sinteract! compatibility! Naturally, these come already configured for Sinteract! and ready for you to customize with your A4 HUD! In addition to all the usual controls, these wings can shrink as small as 20% of their original scale... making them ideal for use as Vestigal Wings on your favorite sexy Succubus avatar... or even fitting for some Tinies!

• Transparency & Glow control via A4 HUD! Yeah... all my A4 items have this option... but it looks pretty incredible on these wings... and I've seen nothing like it in SL! I'll be building a display today to show these off with a Ghostly Glow!

Obviously, I could ramble on and on and on... but the bottom line is, you just have to check these out for yourself. Come visit us on the Grid and look for our model, Dreythos. He's all decked out and waiting to show them off for you!
