LUMIPro's Holiday Bash Is Here!

* She rushes around the party venue checking lights and making sure it's decoration is just right. Suddenly there is a knock at the door, and she scurries over only opening the door a crack. Seeing you on the other side she hastily straightens up her messy hair and smiles. *

You guys aren't supposed to be here yet! The party is not till tonight at 7PM SLT. Don't forget to dress to impress. Whether it's Christmas costumes, a pretty winter formal, or mostly naked show us your creativity.

We will be giving away gift cards from some of Second Life's best designers including [Cynful], Sweet Thing, and United Colors! Oh and don't forget LUMIPro gift certificates too! So if you haven't had a chance to do your Christmas shopping here is an opportunity to get some of it done for free!

We will also have the infamous DJ Air Raid live and in the mix!

Everyone is welcome so be sure to bring a friend. (Sorry no child avatars) 


We really hope to see everyone there. Now shoo I still have a ton of work to do!

.LUMIPro's Holiday Giveaway and Party!

*** As she walks into the room there are several men and women putting up lights, arranging seating, and placing decorations. Her red dress sparkles in the glow of the Christmas lights as she turns looking around the room with excitement in her eyes. Spotting it behind her she gives you a big smile. ***

Why hello there! As you all can see we are busy at work getting ready for LUMIPro's holiday party! Since you're here when I share some of the details? We are so excited to not only be putting on a party this year but to be also giving away gift cards from some of Second Life's best creators! Normally we do a LUMIPro release party around this time of year, but since we launched LUMIPro 18 earlier this year Stefan and I decided we couldn't leave you guys with the holiday party. Here are the details... 


The location will be announced the night before the party. We are so excited to be partnering with [Cynful], Sweet Thing, and United Colors! We will be randomly giving away gift cards from each of them throughout the night. At the end of the night, we will also be giving away a LUMIPro gift certificate! Don't forget to be creative, be bold, and dress to impress! We will be looking for that creativity! We would like to thank our sponsors for helping us spread some holiday cheer this year.

This party is open to everyone LUMIPro users and nonusers alike (No child Avatars)! So tell your friends. Grab some eggnog, put on your best holiday gear, and come join us for some great music and a good time!

I can't wait to see you all there but you must go for now we have lots of work to do.

Let LUMIPro Light up Your Holidays!

*** Samantha walks into the room her arms full presents. Her heels make that very distinctive click sound against the floor. As she sits the presents on the desk you see several men following behind carrying a Christmas tree. As they start to put up the tree she turns towards you with a smile. ***

Hello everyone! As you can see the LUMIPro team is hard at work getting ready for the holidays. As I was wrapping presents this morning I was reminded what a great present LUMIPro can make! I thought this would be the perfect time to share the wonderful things LUMIPro has to offer.

What is LUMIPro?

LUMIPro is a professional grade lighting tool and yet easy to start using the day you buy it.

- Fine control of lighting and shadows
- Ability to pose yourself and/or all your models and groups as large as 10
- Ability to save your scene lighting, camera, pose, and eye position and restore it on another day, even with different models
- Create and save your own favorite colors
- Shoot anywhere without rez even on no-script sims.  Great for product designers and bloggers
- Hold 100s of your own purchased or created animation or use over 200 animations and exclusive mocaps from some of the grid’s best designers
- Updates are always FREE for life
Since I purchased my LUMIPro in 2013 I have seen some amazing work created by various artists. I am always in awe of the work people create using LUMIPro. Let me share just a couple...


These photos barely scratch the surface of what LUMIPro users have created. To see more check out the LUMIPro Flickr Group. You can also find us on Marketplace. Here are some of the reviews you will find...

Wonderful Customer Service

I recommend this to anyone who enjoys taking pictures! When the 18 update came out SL did not like me and it wouldn't deliver to me but the Support Staff worked their magic until I got my update... Excellent product and service!

AMAZING!!!

THIS PRODUCT IS FREAKING AMAZING!!! It's not only helped out with A LOT of my photo's with lighting, but you can do poses ANYWHERE!!! Without rezzing items. Literally it's just in the hud on your screen. It's flipping amazing! and i'd buy 500 of them (if i could afford it XD) WORTH WORTH WORTH The money

Awesome Photo Lighting System!!
Posted July 17, 2017 by CarlWeed 5 stars
LUMIPro is by far, the best lighting system in SL for photography that I have found. I have several other photo studio systems but none have the capabilities that LUMIPro has for lighting control with color, intensity, positioning, casting shadows, etc. for your photo shoots. The biggest selling feature to me is having the ability to take your lighting anywhere in SL and use it, including the no-rez areas of SL. I wanted to get out of my portrait studio but proper lighting was a problem. Now I have great lighting anywhere I shoot in SL! Other bonuses of the system are being able to control multiple models from the HUD without having to instruct them to move or change positions or anything. The system has many great built in poses (not the cheap ones either) that will get you going in no time with very professional looking photos. The eye control system is also another great tool to assist in getting those eyes just right for your shot. If you are serious about capturing great professional photos in SL, this photo lighting system is well worth the investment. It will be the last one you will ever buy I think. The one tip I would give anyone who buys this system and does not have previous experience with earlier versions of LUMIPro is... take maybe 30 minutes or so of your time and watch all of the great video tutorials on their website. They run through many of the features, as there are many, and they will give you a much better understanding of what all you can do with this system without a lot of reading. I had never used LUMIPro before and this is what I did after I purchased it. Within no time, I was off and shooting some great photos with this system.My hats off to the creator and developer of this system. Nice job!!

If you still aren't sure if LUMIPro is for you why not try a fully functioning demo at LUMIPro's World Headquarters? If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact Samantha Ansar-Buscaylet in world. Until next time... Be Bold, Be Creative, and Happy Shooting!

LUMIPro Rings In The Holiday Season!

Every year LUMIPro likes to come out with some really cool holiday advertisements. Well, I was chatting with the LUMIPro Team, about the best way to bring in the holiday season, and only one thing came to mind... A contest! We have so many amazing artists in our community how can we not come to you guys! So here's how it will work...

We will be accepting contest entries until December 15th. (That gives you just 10 days to get those creative juices flowing!)

All photos must be holiday or winter themed. This does not necessarily have to mean just Christmas. We also know people celebrate things like Hanukkah or Kwanzaa. Think outside the box and have fun!

We will be using photos from this particular contest for our holiday advertisements. So here is a link to some of the LUMIPro logos and banners if you would like to use them.

All photos must be entered in the LUMIPro Flickr Group as well as the LUMIPro Contest Group with Holiday2018 somewhere in the title.

All photos entered into the contest must be downloadable (this makes our job easier) If they are not downloadable they will not be considered.

You are allowed to enter as many photos as you like just please make sure they follow LUMIPro's Community Content Standards

Also, don't forget this contest is open to LUMIPro users only.

Now onto the fun part... The prizes!

First Place will receive 6,000 Lindens and a LUMIPro gift certificate!
Second Place will receive 4000 lindens and a LUMIPro gift certificate!
Third Place will receive 2000 Linden and a LUMIPro gift certificate!

Our Halloween contest was such a success that I can't wait to see would you guys come up with this time! I know you guys will come up with something awesome. If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact a LUMIPro Team member in world.

Until next time... Be Creative, Be Inspired, Be Unique, and Happy Shooting!
