    Customizing #SecondLife – So Many Bodies, So Much Junk To Sort

    October 30, 2024 - By 

    There are dozens of #SecondLife mesh bodies and hundreds of virtual fashion designers. Creators have to design multiple versions to rig to different mesh body brands. Last year, I bought the one that’s insanely complex but extremely adjustable and modifiable. I’ve barely dipped a virtual mesh toe in all its features, but I’m good at screwing up the settings. Buy the innovative Star Mesh Body. Second Life’s most advanced & realistic female mesh body & head combo with advanced HUD & editing options. It’s a little TOO realistic but fortunately the HUD can turn off the visibility of the naughty…

    Got Inworld, Barely

    I’ve got back rent to pay and a mess in my inventory; some of my mainland parcels went poof and it’s time to scale back even more. It’s time to think about deleting a lot of my “store” and try to unload the no-copy DFS items that technically can be sold. Dhughan may be scaling back greatly, also. The latest Firestorm is too much for my 12-15 year old CPU and I was limping along on a “Legacy” PBR viewer. I looked weirdly shiny and only lasted 20 minutes at a friend’s DJ event before I got a memory error…

    PBR Materials Broke My Brain

    This is one reason I fell out of Second Life. Technological advances that got beyond my ability to adapt.

I could no longer get excited and make things. But hey! There’s other reasons to log in, like socializing, shopping, etc. side note: I deleted the mirror site at WordPress.com as there was no reason to keep it, and it was having a tech issue.

    Fell Out Of The World Again, Hate When That Happens

    October 12, 2024 - By 

    It’s been a year since I last logged in to Second Life, or updated here. Why? I got frustrated with trying to learn Blender yet again, with PBR just coming in I got frustrated with feeling like stuff I had created was hopelessly outdated I felt pressured by another resident to be! Friends! In! Voice! And felt skeeved. I realized that I no longer wanted to take the time to “craft” and “sell” stuff. I recognized that my desktop computer might need to be replaced with PBR coming. First Life got busy over the holidays My couch was much more…
