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 ;)

Wings, Wings, Wings @ Sinful Needs!

Well that actually sounds like the Event Notice Chatter for one of the club events in The Pit, it's actually the harking call of updated and new wings in the store!

The long-loved yet venerable Seraph wings just got a MAJOR overhaul, courtesy A4.1, fresh Core scripting, the latest Sinteract! scripting, and some beautiful new sculpt maps! The end result is a really gorgeous set of wings that improve on the style of the old Seraphs without losing their charm, while reducing the prim count from 197 prims per wing to 66, dropping the script count from 150+ per wing down to 21 TOTAL for the pair, and adding all the latest A4 and Sinteract! Mojo.

The new Seraph IIs are now fully compatible with the v2 A4 HUD, including the indicator lights to kill off the chat spam, the new RGB tinting panel, the capacity to 'Lock' your wings, deleting either just the PSR scripts or all 3 A4 scripts from a copy of your wings, and all the joys of the new Sinteract! Panel on your HUD. Wear the new wings, click the A4 button on your HUD, and go to My Toys (the top edge of the panel). Then choose your wings out of the menu that pops up! You can Sinteract! right from there... and you can even use the Main > Attachment menu to get access to the core script menu from there as well, all without having to click your attachments.

The Seraph IIs turned out so well, that the base build deserved some more attention... and that's just what it got in the new Seraph II Crusader Armored Wings and Seraph II Consort Jewelled Wings! You can find all three in the Main Store and the Vleet Satellite, as well as on the SL Marketplace here:

Seraph II Bare Wings

Seraph II Crusader Wings

Seraph II Consort Wings

**Note: Current customers who already have the A4 version of the old Seraph Wings should receive the Seraph II update package the next time they wear them. If you don't, please IM Galathir Darkstone and I'll get it sorted out for you ASAP **

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!
