Neck Blenders for Men
First.. because there has been many.. many requests…I FINALLY got the Neck kit updated for men! It now includes 1 neck size and 3 neck blender options for menfolk.

Head Updates: In an attempt for a more intuitive design, I’m experimenting with a new method of Makeup Application. I’ve started updating select heads and kits to react to the “HUD” and “ALL” buttons by bringing up a popup for you to select where to apply a texture.  Theoretically, this should reduce the need to use the routing hud and help folks who just sorta blindly click. 🙂 (Since all buttons on the applier will either apply the texture in the default areas or bring up a popup!)

Full Perm Kit Changes:  Well.. it looks like Full Perm Heads are going to be more and more of a thing, so after talking with Customers, Creators and my Minions I’ve decided to make a change in the pricing Structure. Before, to reflect the Added work of keeping such a kit secure and providing Customer Service for it, I set the price at 299L for the Meli Imako Kit as well as the Safy Belle One.   I’ve decided to change this as to not punish end users. Instead there is now two kit editions for each of these products and future products like them.

  • The Creator Edition includes a transferable Plug-in script to be placed in the head before sale, instructions for naming, test appliers and anything else I think might be useful with a particular head. It is priced at 299L, only available inworld and only available after purchasing the “Customer Edition”
  • The Customer Edition includes an Installer and because I know some people won’t set the head up correctly before selling it…  a no-transfer “demo” version of the Plug-in Script along with instructions.   It won’t include any of the other tools and bits I decide to include with the Creator Edition. It will cost the normal 99L but will not have a Group Discount available.

Phat Azz Channel Updates: 

Well…. it took 2 years.. and giving up completely.. but I did it… I found CK Winx! (Rather he found me.. ) For those of you who aren’t 100yo in SL years, that’s the creator of Phat Azz, not the first mesh booty, but the one that really launched them into the mainstream. You can still find TONS of appliers for it on the MP and every booty had its’ own instructions for converting them!

And now, with CK’s help and permission, I’ve updated the Generic Router to convert allll those Phat Azz appliers into an Omega Ones.

Simply make sure you are wearing the router when you use the phat azz applier.  No more clunky Notecard swapping for phat azz (thank goodness).

And if you want to make a permanent applier for yourself instead, I’ve also updated the Applier Converters to listen for Phat Azz as well. 🙂

Omega Kit Instructions:

Installation

Step One: Get an Update of your Genesis Head. (Just in case!)
Step Two: Wear your Genesis Head.
Step Three:  Attach the “Omega System Installer – Genesis”
Step Four: Click the installer, and verify each piece of the mesh thanks you in local.

Your mesh will now respond to Omega Appliers!

If you did NOT get a thank you from your head, you may have purchased a non-Omega Head. Revist the Product information and verify it mentions Omega Compatibility.

Next Steps
Thats it, enjoy!

FAQ

The skin isn’t Working!
Unfortunately, the skin is non-SLUV. You’ll need to acquire a Genesis Applier for the skin.

It’s not working on this Gatcha Head!
This Kit is only for select heads, all of which are labeled as Omega Friendly in some way.
Gatchas, in particular, are NOT able to be Omega Friendly as all Omega Scripts break and fail in Transferable items.
If this mesh maker at some point does a Gatcha that gives No-Trans heads that ARE Omega Friendly, it will be marked as such!
Update: Genesis has added Gatcha-Exchange options. http://entropicreasoning.weebly.com/v3-gacha-exchange.html
Due to release volume, it’s hard for us to say which Gatchas will have Omega Support after an exchange, so check with Genesis. 🙂
