(*chanimations - FetishCabaret SET 14 "CabaretBeauty"

(*chanimations - CabaretBeauty


======
-CabaretBeauty-
Fetish Cabaret SET 14
======




-CabaretBeauty- takes us behind the scene and stage curtains - with lots of love for details and a few secrets for picturetaking! The set contains photography props and poses with the following properties:


5 POSES (no mod/no transfer):
--------------------------------
• (* cabaretBeauty (headMove)
• (* cabaretBeauty (gettingReady)
• (* cabaretBeauty (kneelingOver)
• (* cabaretBeauty (nailsDrying)
• (* cabaretBeauty (goesWild)

All POSES are static and come with 'copy' rights so you can put them into your posestands or make own poseball arrangements.


POSES-SPECIAL:
------------------
No more poseballs - sit on the beauty chair or dresser themselves. On first sit a menu pops up allowing you to pick which pose you'd like. After that, you only click the chair/dresser (depending on which you are sitting of course) again, and you'll receive the menu to change between the poses.


POSE-ADJUSTMENT:
---------------------
An easy and intuitively to use adjustment-menu allows you to move the positioning of your avartar - height, rotation, everything! Speak /1a in open channel for the adjustment menu. 'Postion' will allow you to move your avartar more forward, backwards, left or right (X and Y axis) and of course up and down (Z axis), if needed 'Rotation' menu gives you more options.

And that's all YOU have to remember, from there on the script does the work and remembers the avartar custom settings of the 50 most frequent users who adjusted their positions as long as chair and dresser stay rezzed and the scripts are not reset. Unfortunately it cannot keep the positions when picked up back to inventory and will rez back on default settings - but since the adjustment is easy and quick, this shouldn't be a problem *grins*.



PROPS (detailed info to each after listing):
----------------------------------------------
• (*FetishCabaret BeautyDresser (no modify/no transfer) - 23 PRIMS
• (*FetishCabaret BeautyChair (no mod/no copy) - 3 PRIMS

Attachments:
• (* BeautyLipstick (no mod/no copy)
• (* BeautyBrush (no mod/no copy)
• (* BeautyMirror (no mod/no copy)
• (* BeautyMask (no mod/no copy)

The chair and dresser come in an unlinked group when rezzed - so show as one combined object in your inventory. This allows you to move the chair around freely or use either of both props alone. If you want to move/rotate them together, make sure you have both selected in edit mode, this will save you time of re-adjusting! You do this by keeping [Shift] key pressed, then right-click choose 'edit' on the dresser, and (with still pressed shift key) right-click choose 'edit' on the chair. When both are highlighted with the blue/yellow lines, you can let go of [shift] and everything moves as a group now. - in worst case, re-rezz from inventory to go back to the original alignment.

As well, keep in mind the /1a chat command to adjust your avatar position up and downwards!

The brush and mirror go with the 'gettingReady' pose - if you click on the mirror, it will function as a soft facelight. (only if 'nearby local lights' are enabled in preferences!)

The (*BeautyLipstick can be used as random accessory or together with the 'kneelingOver' pose in the chair... and it has one specialty: on touch, you get a color menu to pick which color you'd like it to be - that way you have a color somewhat similar to your skin's lipstick color.

The (* BeautyMask is my little 'extra surprise' for you *smirks*.

All attachments come with 'transfer' setting so you can pass them to your model - or if you're unsure they'll give them back to you, rezz them instead and position them.


PHOTOGRAPHY-EXTRA:
------------------------
The 'special trick' for this set - I added you a little gimmick that allows you to fairly easily create a mirror reflection when using graphic programms for picture post-processing. To make the steps required for creating a reflection easy on you, the mirror glass has a touch script included that will set the BACK of it to transparent or half-transparent (with reflection stripes) on click. As well one click position will set the FRONT to a greenScreen or blueScreen. I posted an image-example as well as a mini-tutorial how to recreate the effects yourself on our blog and my flickr stream!

(please copy into your browser - or hit the 'Tutorial?' button on the dresser and it will speak the link to you in open chat so you can click through SL)

And as with everything scripted: Make sure you are in a sim that allows for scripts to run!


That's all you need to know, so from here on.... have fun in front of the scenes, behind the scenes, after the scenes.... and any time.

(*chanimations tutorial - POST-PROCESSING 'Mirror Reflection'

.


Above is the final image which we'd like to create - and in the following comes how you do it!





Please click the image to see it in large for all the texts - and here a few added extra tricks!

1. Know what you're doing
If you go into your bathroom, bedroom, or any other mirror you have at home (even the surface of your TV will do for the basic understanding) - check what you actually SEE in the mirror depending on which angle you look at it.

Example:
if you're straight up in front of it, on the same level looking inside: you see yourself straight upfront from the same hight level in the mirror as well.
If you're sitting on the ground looking up into it... you see the higher ends of the walls if not even the ceiling. (imagine how your view through the glass would be from the backside: you'd be sitting on the ground as well looking up at that ceiling, right?)

If you make yourself aware of what angle will be seen, your images will turn out MUCH more real appearing than if you just take a random angle!

2. It's a mirror - flip your shot through the framing help horizontally!

Even if it would look okay otherwise - everybody knows a mirror in real life - any will notice "something is wrong" if you forget the flipping.

3. Blur/Desaturate the reflection a little

True, in RL it has the same colors - but with the 3D the eye can see, it is easy to understand that it's a mirror. In a flat image, you need to be a little more helpful to the watching eye to show 'distance' to it. gentle blurring and desaturating is one way to do it.


I'll search you some wiki links on how reflections work and post them here once I found them ;-)

(*chanimations: FetishCabaret SET 10 - "ShowDiva"

.



======
-ShowDiva-
***MULTICOLOR***
Fetish Cabaret SET 10
======


-ShowDiva- is available in different color packs (corresponding to those colors of the 'ShowGirl' set) and a special color edition in peacock feathers (those are NOT included in the MultiColor pack!) and contains photography props and poses with the following properties:

4 POSES (no mod/no transfer):
--------------------------------
• (* FeatherBoa(1) open
• (* FeatherBoa(2) open (HeadTilted)
• (* FeatherBoa(3) presentLeft
• (* FeatherBoa(4) presentRight

All POSES are static and come with 'copy' rights so you can put them into your posestands or make own poseball arrangements.

The pack includes the poses as single animations and in a multiPoseball which responds to /1 show and /1 hide and allows to toggle the poses by using the pageUp/pageDown keys.


PROPS (no copy/no modify/transfer):
----------------------------------------------
• 4 different shaped feather boas, corresponding to the poses of the set. They come in the color of the pack you chose. (Available color-packs are Black, White, Red, Pink, Blue and one Multipack that contains all fan colors)
• (* Cigarette Holder **BLACK/SILVER**

The feathers are digitally illustrated - so no fuzzy halos or edges and only 100% feather goodness ;-) The boas come with 'transfer' setting so you can pass them to the model - or if you're unsure they'll give them back to you, rezz them instead and position them. (Each has about 184 - 193 prims so if that's the route you're going, make sure to free up some prims beforehand)

The FeatherBoa comes as well with an option to turn fullbright on/off - for some lightsettings it is better to work with fullbright (it also reduces the alpha transparency issue SL has), while for other scenarios (especially nightsetting) it might be too much to have everything dark but one glowing FeatherBoa - this option should help you adjust to your surrounding perfectly :-) You either click the boa, or if camera positioning wouldn't allow you use chatcommands:
/100 FBon
/100 FBoff

PLEASE TAKE NOTE: The above described option to toggle between fullbright on/off is not included in the black boa. Why? Simple: the dark textures don't require it for the transparency and black on fullbright simply looks weird cause it stays black, but the greys are over-the-top-too-much bright. Hence why I decided to save you all from unneeded scripts. ;-)

And as with everything scripted: Make sure you are in a sim that allows for scripts to run!

That's all you need to know, so from here on.... have fun and keep in mind: "You are the Show!"

(*chanimations: FetishCabaret SET 9 - "SoftStings"

.



======
-SoftStings-
Fetish Cabaret SET 9
======


Most likely the most fetish you can get:
-SoftStings- set contains photography props and poses with the following properties:


2 POSES (no mod/no transfer):
--------------------------------
• (* kneel_SafetyPins
• (* kneel_Pins (armStretched)

All POSES are static and come with 'copy' rights so you can put them into your posestands or make own poseball arrangements.

The pack includes the poses as single animations and in a multiPoseball which responds to /1 show and /1 hide and allows to toggle the poses by using the pageUp/pageDown keys.


PROPS (no mod/no copy):
----------------------------
• (* FetishCabaret safety-pins w/ satin ribbons - arm right
• (* FetishCabaret safety-pins - arm left
• (* FetishCabaret safety-pins back (spine)
• (* FetishCabaret safety-pins back (chest)
• (* FetishCabaret safety-pins (mouth)
• (* FetishCabaret - Long Latex Gloves
• (* FetishCabaret - SafetyPin marks

The props come with 'transfer' setting so you can pass them to the model - or if you're unsure they'll give them back to you, rezz them instead and position them. For the back, I have included one a version with chest as attachment point for those who are collared and wear it on spine - and the same pin-ties with spine as attachment point who wear jewellry pieces or collars vice versa.

Please take note, due to the differences in avartars and sizes, you might need more or less adjustings to bring the ties between the arms in the right position - in most cases it is enough to make the pins smaller or bigger though and move their positioning a little on the avartar. Unfortunately there is no universal solution for this. - The size of the safety-pins can be adjusted by touch menu - please read included notecard for information regarding the resize script!

And as with all scripts: Make sure you are in a sim that allows for scripts to run!

Have fun playing and snapping and keep in mind:
"Pain's not for everybody - can't have the Show stop though!" *winks*

--------------------------------

PROPS (no mod/no copy):
----------------------------
• (* FetishCabaret Spiked Paddle **Black/Silver** - left hand
• (* FetishCabaret Spiked Paddle **Black/Silver** - right hand

The paddles come with 'transfer' setting so you can pass them to the model - or if you're unsure they'll give them back to you, rezz them instead and position them.

Aside from that, this set is easy and there's not much more to know.
If the poseball doesn't toggle between the poses: Make sure you are in a sim that allows for scripts to run!


Have fun playing and snapping and keep in mind:
"The Show will also go on with JUUUUST a little bit of extra pain!"

(*chanimations: VintageCircus "The TightRopes"

.


"Ladies and Gentlemen - The Show begins..... "


======
-The TightRopes-
Vintage Circus Set
======




-The TightRopes- is another performance set of the (*chanimations Vintage Circus series. It contains photography props and poses with the following properties:


4 POSES (no mod/no transfer):
--------------------------------
• (* tightRopes,
• (* tightRopes_Joy,
• (* tightRopes_BalanceForward,
• (* tightRopes_laying

All POSES are static and come with 'copy' rights so you can put them into your posestands or make own poseball arrangements.

The pack includes the poses as single animations and in a multiPoseball which responds to /1 show and /1 hide and allows to toggle the poses by using the pageUp/pageDown keys.


PROPS:
--------
• (*chanimations - Tight Ropes (no mod/no transfer),
• (*chanimations - Lace Parasol (no mod/ no copy)

This time not much to say.... The Parasol comes with transfer settings so you can pass it as well to your model. Or if you're unsure they'll give it back, rezz it instead and position it.

The TightRopes and poseballs come in an unlinked group when rezzed - so show as one combined object in your inventory. This is to make it easier for you when adjusting positions of your artist on the ropes. Make sure you have all two components selected in edit mode when you need to move/rotate them in a group - this will save you time of re-adjusting! You do this by keeping [Shift] key pressed while you select the three items in edit menu.

If the poseball doesn't toggle as it should - make sure you're in a sim that allows for scripts to run!

For a successful Show!

(*chanimations: VintageCircus "The Trapez"

.


"Ladies and Gentlemen - The Show begins..... "


======
-The Trapez-
Vintage Circus Set
======




-The Trapez- is contains photography props and poses with the following properties:


4 POSES (no mod/no transfer):
--------------------------------
• (* trapez,
• (* trapez_hanging/(* trapez_hanging [bit lower],
• (* trapez_layingOverBack,
• (* trapez_layingStomach

All POSES are static and come with 'copy' rights so you can put them into your posestands or make own poseball arrangements.

The pack includes the poses as single animations and a multiPoseball which responds to /1 show and /1 hide and allows to toggle the poses by using the pageUp/pageDown keys.

The hanging pose is doubled to offer a good 'non floating' option for different avartar sizes, but is otherwise the same.


PROPS:
--------
• (* Trapez (5m rope) (no mod/no copy/no transfer),
• (* Trapez (10m rope) (no mod/no copy/no transfer),
• (* Trapez (static) (no mod/no transfer)

This time it's a bit difficult with the rights. So here a short explaination:
The Trapez is included in 3 versions - two animated, that will swing on click, with different rope length; and one that's static since it might be far easier to do pictures for you that way instead of trying to catch the swinging model with your camera. *chuckles*

Anyhow... the swing-script in the trapez is 'no copy' - while all my poses as usual are 'no transfer'. So that's why you have a 'no copy/no transfer' item in the end. So make sure you pick up your trapez again when you use it in a sim for pictures!

And as with everything scripted: Make sure you are in a sim that allows for scripts to run!

For a successful Show!

(*chanimations: VintageCircus "The Human CannonBall"

.



"Ladies and Gentlemen, boy and girls, children of all ages......"




======
-The Human CannonBall-
Vintage Circus Set
======



-The Human CannonBall- is a circus performance which was first shown in 1877 - and now finds its way straight to the grid. *smirks* This set tells another little Vintage Circus Story. It contains photography props and poses with the following properties:


4 POSES (no mod/no transfer):
--------------------------------
• (* cannon_ignitiate,
• (* cannon_ignitiate (crouch),
• (* cannonBall,
• (* cannonBall_Fly

All POSES are static and come with 'copy' rights so you can put them into your posestands or make own poseball arrangements.

The pack includes the poses as single animations and in 2 multiPoseball which respond to /1 show and /1 hide and allow to toggle the poses by using the pageUp/pageDown keys.

PROPS:
--------
• (* The Cannon (no mod/no transfer),
• (*chanimations - Ignitiate? (no mod/ no copy)

Both the Cannon and the Ignitiate-torch are particle-scripted on touch. So you can ignitiate whatever needs to be on fire in your picture story ;-) - The torch comes with transfer settings so you can pass it as well to your model. Or if you're unsure they'll give it back, rezz it instead and position it.

The Cannon and two poseballs come in an unlinked group when rezzed - so show as one combined object in your inventory. This is to make it easier for you when adjusting positions of either the 'CannonBall' or the one lighting the cannon. Make sure you have all three components selected in edit mode when you need to move them in a group - this will save you time of re-adjusting! You do this by keeping [Shift] key pressed while you select the three items in edit menu.

And as with everything scripted: Make sure you are in a sim that allows for scripts to run!

For a successful Show!
