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.
