A (head) ABOVE THE REST Story & Photograhy Abbey Lucian MURRAY’s Magdalena head is one of the newest mesh heads that have been introduced into Second Life — it launched in March this year. At L$990, the head comes with three unrigged mesh eyelashes, which can be edited/resized manually or via the mesh head’s HUD. It was thoughtful gesture on creator Olivia Murray’s part to include a pack of three different-sized eyelashes. In her opinion, the best way to implement the eyelashes is to use unrigged mesh options, separate from the mesh head. For the uninitiated, mesh heads are fitted mesh and are attached to the boning system of the Second Life body. In other words, they have only two modifying possibilities in the Edit Appearance mode: Head Stretch and Head Length. Tampering with these adjustments can alter the shape of the head, which will then require further resizing of the eyelashes. Thanks to Murray’s foresight, fussing with eyelashes have just got a lot easier.
