Time for boycat Dinkies and male Tinies to have a decent walking stick with simple animations – so I started to adapt the Ivory Walking Stick, which is old enough to need some freshening up. I started by testing some nicer textures for the ivory, and setting it in a sort of cup-bezel with engraved silver fittings (I may play with materials a bit if they don’t add greatly to the land impact (LI). Then I resized it to the right length for a Dinkie or Tiny avatar, and got the pos/rot information with a script so as to update…

Here I am sitting on my first (actually second) mesh object ever, which is more than a year old. Yes, it’s that damn Kipling Rock, which I now plan to fix up and put out as a fishing seat in the pond between my store and Dhughan’s Nature Reserve. Now, finally, I can move on and make mesh stuffs, because at least I got this far in… ugh, almost TWO YEARS. I’m wearing the test-texture version of my dumb party hat, which debuts tonight at Toot Toot’s. Also wearing: my beautiful cinnamon sari by Luminous Designs. You can find it…

This tutorial looks promising, and I like how the presenter uses a really big keystroke display: I’ve bought 2 Blender books, watched many tutorials, and still can’t retain the basics, I have to start nearly from scratch every time I try it, and then get frustrated too quickly. I’ve got a project for a friend, and I’m hoping not to have to buy full-perm templates for $L400 for sculpt or mesh. This tutorial is for mesh, but I’d prefer a squashable sculpt once we get to that point. It seems like a good starting point just to try to get…

Hallo, Dhughan here, back from the not-quite-dead. Whilst reading the excellent “Second Life Newser” I ran across this item: Being a community where mad scientists are respected, Steelhead has seen many interesting creations. Question is, what would these creative minds do when asked to make a snowman? Well, the steampunk community is about to find out, as leader TotalLunar Eclipse has announced a snowman building contest. The rules are, “Fifteen prims per snowman you can enter up to two times. The winner and runner up will have their unique snowman displayed in front of town hall until the snow thaws…

Second Life’s GMAIL Problems Just when I was thinking of changing my emails over from Yahoo to Gmail, this happens. Yahoo keeps marking my parcel rent renewal notices as spam, which is NOT GOOD. But one alt uses Gmail, and her emails get tagged as either Important, Starred, or Spam, apparently at random. It may have to do with whether I read before deleting, or move false-positive spam back into the inbox.
