The KDC PowerTool is a simple script container/API I’ve been using for years for personal utility scripts.

Now everyone can use it. It even comes with a dumb licence.

Feel free to scream at me that the code is horrible, I rewrote it entirely saturday evening.

I’m so sorry for the silence of the past few days but I crammed an ungodly amount of work in very little time and I was too tired to post more progress reports.

They are unrigged, making them suitable for pretty much any avatar, mesh or non-mesh body, enjoy!

As usual, you can pick them up in-world from the KDC Main Store or from the SecondLife Marketplace.

Unwrapping done, this is my first bake test on this project and it looks amazing 😀

I got everything laced up cleanly and optimized the hell out of it, that’s about 1200 triangles worth of lacing in the end. Unfortunately there is no way around this.

I’ve also started packing my UVs and went for an “optimized” solution for the lacing texture ( 32×32 pixels 😛 ).

I really hope it will look right in the end.

Pretty much. I also would like to take some time to figure out if there is any chance to simplify the model further. 4500 triangles is still an awful lot.

I blame all those curved texture seams!

The heavy summer rains have caused a dramatic elevation of the water level in Dead Realm, While most of the habitable areas have suffered minimal damage, the area surrounding the bay has been completely submerged.

Our experts have estimated that it will take at least a week for the excess water to drain. Please be careful until the situation resolves itself.

I was pretty much nodding off the entire evening yesterday so I pressed on until the main body was completely filled in.

I’m not sure if it looks any different from this angle…

I ment to do more today but I won’t have time to do much, so here is yesterday’s update that I forgot to post.

Again the center area is getting progressively better, and I did some work on the tongue and velcro straps, it’s getting there but it’s too slow!

I’ve also added a nice and comfy lining. Now it’s even thicker.

Soon enough this is going to turn into a ski boot 🙂 I hope not!

…and I don’t like it. It looks clumsy, the flow is bad, it’s too dense. But I guess it will do for now.
