LUMIPro 18 Is Here!

So as many of you noticed we quietly released LUMIPro 18! I know what many people's first thought is... ''Oh no do I have to pay for a new copy?" Of course not! Updates are always FREE!

If that is not your first thought I bet it is "What's new?" This release is all about color! Have you ever worked really hard on a photoshoot saved your pose, your eye position, your camera angle, and then thought "I wish I could keep this color for later." Well, now you can!

For a little more information check out the video Stefan created when we released the first LUMIPro 18 Beta. Click Here. (More videos to come soon!) We also have some wonderful NEW poses contributed by Ardent Poses & More, Image Essentials, ...: Something New :..., WESTSIDE and .:Z&E Poses:. Be sure to check them out. They did an amazing job!  TexasRob McRae also hooked us up with new projector gobos!

So how do you get your new update? If you currently use LUMIPro just attach your LUMIPro 2017 and click Yes! When it asks if you would like to update. You can also make the transition from the old to the new easier by using the backup server. Here is a video on how it works.

If you are wondering if LUMIPro is right for you try a fully functioning demo at LUMIPro World Headquarters. You can also purchase LUMIPro at the Headquarters or on Marketplace.

The LUMIPro team would like to thank everyone for their support and understanding as we put this release out around our real lives. From our users to our beta testers and contributors, we could not do it without each of you!

Well as I always say...

Until next time... Happy Shooting

LUMIPro 2017 Is Here!

*** As you walk up to a big magnificent building you see Samantha standing there at the doorway. ***

Wait you guys can't come in yet! The big release event doesn't start until tomorrow (December 10th) at 7 PMSLT. I cannot tell you how excited I am for you guys to get a hold of the new LUMIPro 2017! I hope that you guys love it!

Here are some of the great features this update comes with:

•  The three ball lights can now be controlled via the HUD. That means no more having to lose your camera angle to get the perfect lighting!
•  LUMIPro now supports the posing of 10 models; including yourself!
•  There is no longer a limit to the amount of animations you can put into your LUMIPro!
•  Now that you can add so many more animations, to support making finding what you want easier, we have created a pose filter right on HUD!
•  Over 190 poses and MoCaps, created by the best designers, are included in LUMIPro 2017! Many of the poses are exclusive, and they can only be found in LUMIPro.
•  12 new custom gobos were added, for total of 40, brought to you by TexasRob McRae!
•  Several improvements have been made to help with lag, including script and memory reduction.
•  And much more!

 Stefan has worked tirelessly to bring you guys these amazing features, hopefully you will love each one! Whether you are a long time owner, or you are thinking about purchasing, updates are always FREE! This update would not have been possible without people like TexasRob McRae (TexasRob Resident) who created our gobos. The venue was also decorated to perfection by our very own Whimsie Starlight (TwinkleStarLight Resident). We are also very excited to have our first set of EXCLUSIVE MoCaps included in LUMIPro! They were created by the amazing Stroker Serpentine of Stroker's Toyz. We also have new animations brought to you by Glamurus Poses & Animations, IMAGE ESSENTIALS , Pics n Poses, and ...: Something New :... I have no doubt that you guys will love what you see!

To get your update just remember all you have to do is attach your old LUMIPro, and you will be sent new one.

With every awesome release their course has to be a great party, and this year my team and I pulled out all the stops! The theme for this year is James Bond/Casino Royale. As always costumes are encouraged, but they are not required. I am excited to let you guys know about something new we will be doing this year, for your entertainment, during the release party. The *~La Coquette Cabaret~* will be putting on a sexy dance show for us at the beginning of the party. I got to watch them during rehearsals, and trust me this is something you won't want to miss! After the *~La Coquette Cabaret~* finishes wowing us we will have, the amazingly funny, DJ "The Old Bull" to keep the party going! 

This year to go along with the theme, there will be chances for you guys to win gift cards from some of the most amazing stores in Second Life including; [Cae], [ zerkalo ], Artisan Fantasy, Astralia, and Miss Chelsea. To find out all of the details, and to see an amazing building created by Samual Wetherby, you will have to come to the party.

 *** Winks ***

A LUMIPro event would not be the same without some great photography! This year we will be doing the flash mob a little bit differently. If you are a user of LUMIPro, and what you would like some of your art displayed at the event, please send me (Samantha Ansar-Buscaylet) up to three photographs. Please make sure that they are full perm.

Last but not least I want to say a big thank you to  each of you! LUMIPro cannot be this amazing without your help! This update has to be one of my favorites! I can't wait to see what you guys think of not only it but the party. Don't forget tomorrow at 7 PMSLT.

Until then... Happy Shooting!
