Starz Devotions Rave Jeans and Crop Top are really cool in the shimmering blue, pink and purple colors. The top offers a selection of three different textures, all with materials, normal-map and specular-map to really give the nice defined details. The denim jacket is from the Star Babe Blue Jean Set from the same creator. Body and Head: Star Mesh Body. Hair: Emotions: Chara

Star Ensembles Ankle Boots. It's a bit of shame I hid them under pants in the previous post. They are pretty awesome and full perm. They can be turned furry or simple leather or a number of combinations since there's a ton of faces and the fur layer is linked so it can be removed entirely too. The image here just showcase the boots out of the box with various tints and faces turned on or off. Boots to the left with the baked leather texture and the top ankle fur layer turned on. Boots to the right just with the AOmap as texture and tinted fur all over. They both have normal-map and specular-map of course to get the nice material effects. Anything is possible with these boots. They have zipper at the back and buttons at the side and both of these features can be turned on or off as you like too. Goon and I created these together for StarEnsemble.
If you are up for tinting and/or retexturing rezz the boots out on a nice clean surface. There's a LOT of faces to chose from and it wont be easy to hit right when worn. Everything is rigged though so if it gets too hard to select through the fur layer just select the whole fur part and move it up a bit then its easier to get to the actual boot. move the layer back down when done. Since it's rigged it will snap back to its exact right position when worn.
StarEnsembles Flared pants. Those are made full perm for creators to create their own products from. All UVmaps are straightened and optimized for easy texturing. There's a ton of materials and seams, buttons, belt and belt loops can be delinked to get rid off if needed. Normalmaps, AOs and UVMaps are of course included. The pants comes with the flare inset as its own material as depicted here - or just as a integral part of the regular pants texture. The flared pants are made to fit over high heels, in this photo it's the StarEnsemble Ankle Boots peeking out under there. The top is the StarEnsemble Wrap Crop Top. Body and Head: Star Mesh Body. Hair: Truth: Vivid
Celestines Heart and Pearls Necklace 2.0 is available for Star Mesh Body and Maitreya, this little rigged necklace is my own creation. It's available in my store "Celestines" in the Langdale sim.

Welcome to my blog.
In this spot I endeavor to showcase my play with styles on the Star Mesh Body in Second Life. Some models are my own mesh work, some are full perm I bought elsewhere, but textured myself and some are just nice finds I bought to mix and match with what I already own.
I will attempt to mark where to get the stuff I showcase here as best I can. Some items I might have textured but haven't gotten to set for sale just yet. If you want the piece holler at me and I'll sped up the process :) You can find me inworld under the same name as here: Celestine Ghiardie.
You might have seen some of the photos here before. I do collaborate with the Star Mesh Body creator and so some of my photographic work might have been showcased there too. I am one of the mesh creators at the full perm store "StarEnsemble", I also contribute as mesher/texturer in the "SewNSew" store. And finally I have my own little store "Celestines".
That said in this little corner of the internet I will of course make sure to showcase items from those stores, but I hope to showcase any awesome styles that any creator might release for the Star Mesh Body here. I would especially love to showcase work from my clothes creation students at the Blender School, so get to work my friends ;)
I have a bit of a backlog to get posted here, so the first posts will be machine gun posted as I get the images ready. Future updates here will depend on my free time available, so I can't promise there will be new posts here every day or every week or even every month. We shall see. I do need time to create those mesh items in Blender too at times.
And since this body is my main focus on the blog, here's the fast track to
Getting the Star Mesh Body and Head on Marketplace
If you need help with setting the body up I made a little Youtube tutorial series on it.
If you need the developer kit to create your own items for the body the Application Page is your guarantee, that you will get the updates to the developer kit files, when they are released. It's NOT difficult to get the kit, the application page is only there to support you and sending updates to you.
If you need help creating for Star Mesh Body, you are more than welcome to join the Blender School. I'll be around to help with skinning and weight painting in Blender in our Blender School Discord.
And finally for curious browsing here is my entire stash of my CTS Wardrobed Star Mesh Body items, aka pretty much everything I own that might work for Star Mesh Body (without using the conform body that is). if you'd like that CTS Wardrobe for organizing your own items I very much recommend the system.
So finally, without further ado lets get that awesome Star Mesh Body clothed :)
