Curly hair design available

A new hair design is available right now, exclusively for the new 3.0 babies.

This time is a curly hair design, and as usual comes on an eight colour flavour to choose from.

As usual, you can find it on the marketplace or at any Tatu resellers clinic.





Also expect soon a small patch for 3.0 babies, now on beta test period, to fix the eyelid problems.

Playing with advance lighting

I have been experimenting with the new ways to render objects on SL. Advance lighting makes it possible to render objects the same way as AAA game does on PS3 / Xbox but on our loved SL. Now there will be no need to "bake" how shadows and light affects the objects in SL, but it will be calculated on real time by the engine.

Advance lighting does a good job by its own on calculating the shadows on the object, but its with the use of normal maps, difuse maps and specular maps that the models really shine as the light bounces realistically from the object and textures start looking more realistic and less flat.

Little things as the hair and skin really becomes alive and the use of specular maps really gives the skin that porcelain and delicate look you expect from real babies.


It´s also possible to use this process on the design studio, but because generating and understanding normal maps and specular maps isn´t easy, I don´t expect many builders could really take good use of this feature.

Anyway expect soon an big update on the 3.0 babies to incorporate this new feature that will make the babies much more life like, at least for the users who can handle advance lighting.

Purple Med Kits problems

Purple Med Kits aren´t compatible with the new 3.0 version. An updated version will be released soon to make it compatible with all babies.

In case you purchased some and wish to use them on a 3.0 baby, contact me for a replacement once the new ones are available.

Purple Med Kits make it possible to skip stages and force your baby to grow faster.

Edit 

1.1 Purple Med Kits are now available to fix this error. They now are compatible with 3.0 babies and babies with prim hair.

You can get them exclusively on the SL marketplace.

Which one is the best baby for you?

-->The Tatu Family has a baby for everyone with different prices and features depending on your playing style and budget.

The new 3.0 mesh model

The new 3.0 version at 3000L brings all the new features of SL with Mesh and Pathfinding methods for the most realistic baby to date.

Compatible with all clothes and skins, its also uses some new exclusive skins were is possible to combine different skin tones and hair colors and designs as all information is stored on different layers.

Still it can be a little bit expensive and the land impact of 58, while sleeping or on poseballs, can result in not the ideal solution for everyone.

Classic 2.5 sculpt version

The clasic 2.5 version, now at the lower price of 2000L offers the same gameplay with 10 growth stages that takes your baby from newborn to toddler, but with a different shape using just sculpts and only 31 prims. This is an ideal solution of people with few prims available or who use older viewers.

Lite version, newborn baby on a budget

Lite babies are an excellent entry level baby for new parents. With a low price of 599L it brings the same newborn experience at a fraction of the price. These babies won´t be able to grow, but all progress is stored until you decide to upgrade.

Lite babies are a cheap way to enter the Tatu World or quality prim babies in general. Even if you choose to choose to upgrade later, the price of the update is the difference between the LITE and the FULL version. This means you will be paring the same as buying a 2.0 version but only if you decide to.

A new baby it's with us, and its a mesh one!

The new Baby Tatu uses a combination of Mesh and sculpts to maintain a low prim number, keep backwards compatibility of clothes and skins and at the same time deliver an amazing level of detail over the same level of gameplay that Baby Tatu is known for.

With a prim count of 33, because of meshs it has a land impact of 58 but because it uses new pathfinder features, while crawling the land impact if of just 15 prims. Still have in mind that while the baby is on poseballs or not able to crawl, the land impact can be big.

Still if you are running low on prims, the 2.5 version might be a better fit for you with 31 prims and a lower price.

Pathfinder features give them a new and lifelike ability to navigate their surroundings and express their personality. Now the baby doesn´t just follow, but now explores, play and hide himself.

Play hide and seek with your baby around the house or watch him recognize his favorite toys.

The new features

• Mesh baby version with amazing level of detail
• Backward compatibility with clothes and old skins
• New skins and hair to enable more combinations of styles and greater level of detail
• Hair, eyelashes, eyebrows are keep as separate textures to enable more combinations of styles
• Pathfinder feature for a more intelligent recognition of the terrain
