One thing that has always impressed me is when creators who mostly torture prims improve their texturing. So I’m going to do series of the evolution of various content creators in Second Life. Now this may not necessarily feature prim tortures. I’m starting out with the evolution of ETD’s textures. Feel free to add a link in the comments to your photos of ETD hair.
First up is the textures that were used when I first started SL. In my mind I’ve been calling this 1.0, but I’m not sure if this would be correct. Any SL fashion historians out there want to correct me?

Seductive in Brunette
Next in the evolutionary chain my mind has called this the 2.0 collection.

Solaera in Chestnut
Then came the special Couture Collection which used more Alpha texturing. I was calling this 2.1

The Layered in Dark Brown
Then came the Aveda Institue Collection of textures. My brain referenced this as about 2.5.

Med End Curl in Espresso
Soon to be released is the Next generation which my brain has called 3.0.
