A Guide to Skin Matching Prim Breasts

Hey musers,

The post we have to day has been put together by Madeea. It is in fact part of the older Full Breast manual before we went to the web version for ease of updating information. While the pictures are all based on the Full Breasts the instructions and advice are useful for matching any prim breasts or any attachment really. I have included the intructions in the images in text below it for easier translation via web tools for those who do not speak English natively.page 11Skin matching for your breasts: This can be a tedious process with any prim breast for new and veteran prim breast users. (skin tone shown as it comes out of the box not yet altered) With patience you will be able to get very close but it will not be a perfect match. There are many factors forever changing the way light is reflected on our avatar versus how it reflects on primitive objects. (like the breasts) What one person sees differs greatly from what another person sees based on many parameters. (such as graphics settings) There will not be a perfect graduation between your prim breast and your avatar. These are some of the minor things we endure to be able to have larger full breasts that do not look like square blocks sticking out from our chests. (for more help on managing that line see Skye’s post on smoothing the transition.)

The key is to try to match the shadows from your avatar with the shadows of the prim breasts.page 12It is best to start by choosing a skin base with shading similar to that of your avatars. Your avatar will have darker tones along the sides of the chest and the under arm area. Some avatar skins have warmer undertones, so you would probably prefer to choose a skin that has base shading from the red color ranges. Avatars with skin tones that fall into the cooler color categories will benefit more from choosing a skin tone with more olive or blue base shading. (in this example the skin is from Al Vulo – Sally natural 2 porcelain) I chose to go with an “Olive” base since the “Skin Set 1 Hud – Reds” have shadows that are still a bit too warm for this skin tone. Find a skin base that works for you and try using the color editor box to tint the base closer to your avatar skintone. I used 10(0) as my base. RGB 225,191,183. You can also manually enter your RGB value via chat with the microphone.

page 13  Skin Blend Layers: To help further blend your breasts to your skin, Skin Blend layers can be worn. These are lays of clothing worn to help further blend away markings on your avatar skin. (tattoo layers can also be created: skin blend flies are included) The Skin Blend Layer will appear white until you edit the layer and follow the same process used to tint your breasts. *skin blends are optional and not required for matching all skins. page 14In a different Light: Once you have matched your breasts with your avatar skin, you will want to try it in your favorite windlight setting to see if adjustments are still needed. As you can see minor adjustment is necessary. Keeping the same skin base I adjusted my hue value bar to lighten the skin tone. (Soft Nipple options provide a softer edge around the nipple helping them blend smoother against the skin.)page 15  More light comparison: Lighting will always be something we are struggling with and it will continue to change as SL is developed. It poses quite a challenge to prim breasts wearers but with time and patience you can achieve beautiful results. Windlight settings shown are CalWL WL setting, SL midday, SL Sunrise, SL Sunset. *photos are not editedpage 16Lighting and Shadows: Windlight settings shown are LunaJubilee Shadows, CalWL, SL Midday with shadows. *photos are not edited

I hope this has been helpful in understanding better how SL handles lighting and why skin matching can be so complicated at times (this is also true for mesh attachments but SL handles light reflection off a mesh object in a way that is much more like how it handles light reflection of the base avatar mesh so the differences are much less noticeable.)

If you have looked through all of this and are still having troubles you may want to consider this personal skin matching.

If you have a furry avatar and are looking for a white fur texture to work from for milkmade breasts IM cali Ciaco for a free applier.

Appliers part 2 skins

This will be part 2 of our coverage of appliers, going over, what they are, how they work and some basic of how to make them. While these posts will hopefully be helpful we can’t support third party work or aid in content creation. You can see the previous post about making clothing appliers here.

An applier for prim or mesh breasts is an object that is scripted to work with the breasts to put or “apply” a texture to a particular part of the breasts. Different brands will use a different script setups to make the applier work so not every applier is compatible with every brand of breast. When it come to skins for prim breasts they are only able to work with skins made specifically for that brand and style. This is not true of all mesh breasts some are inter compatible for skins but for current :mused: breasts only skin appliers made for them will work.

So to start you will need to make a skin texture that will match your skin and wrap correctly on the breast you wish to make it for. To that end we provide textures for you to work from so you know how to shade and wrap your own textures. You can get the skin and nipple textures for full breasts and the developer pack in world in the store next to the full breast vender TP link. The milkmade skin and nipple textures can be downloaded from the website here and the developer pack can be gotten in world above the tank modification kit TP link.

Full Breasts v2

Once you have the texture you wish to use to on the breasts and the developer kit you will need to rez a copy of the applier, edit it and open the _config_1 script.  It will look like this, minus the highlighting. (all images can be viewer larger by clicking them)

 FB_001

You will then need to right click the texture you wish to use and select copy asset UUID.

Now simply highlight and delete COPY&PASTE TEXTURE UUID HERE and paste in your UUID. Make sure the = and ” are still there. So it would look something like “UUID=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000”

And save the script. You should now be able to apply the texture to your breast by clicking the applier object.

(in very rare cases, such as not working from the textures we provide, you might need to adjust the offset, or rotation of the texture to make it look right)

milkmade:

milkmade is a lot like the full breasts but with some slight differences. The first being that the milkmade applier has two configuration scripts to handle two different textures. This is so that your skin does not have to be a mirrored image from one breast to another. Useful for adding a tattoo, or freckles, or spots, or any other variation you might wish to. If you do want to just use one texture for both then there are two ways to do that. You can flip it in your editing software or you can edit the offset in the script which I will explain below. The texture on the website is for the left breast and so we will begin with that one.

Rez a copy of the applier, edit it and open _congfig_skin_left. It will look like this, again without the highlighting.

MM_001

You can now copy the UUDI of your left breast texture by right clicking it and selecting copy asset UUID and pasting it between the quotation marks in the area shown on the image. Make sure the quotation marks are still there and save the script.

Close it and open _config_skin_right. If you are working with two different textures the setup is exactly the same as the left breast. Copy the right breast texture UUID and paste into place, check that quotation marks are still there and save.

If you are working with one texture you will want to paste the left breast UUID here instead and then go down to the section of the script that says vector texture_repeats = and change that first 1.00000 to a -1.00000. (shown highlighted here)MM_003

This will mirror the texture onto the breasts. Make sure the < is still in place right before the negative and save the script. You should now be able to apply the texture to your breast by clicking the applier object.

Remember if you are distributing this applier to set the next owner perms on the scripts to no mod.
