    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

    October 26, 2024 - By 

    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

    October 19, 2024 - By 

    This is one reason I fell out of Second Life. Technological advances that got beyond my ability to adapt. Lost interest after making some progress in classes, as the new techniques got more complex. Also, I was waiting for Firestorm to update, as I dislike the main viewer. 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learn Blender yet again, with PBR just coming in I got frustrated with feeling like stuff I had created was hopelessly outdated I felt pressured by another resident to be!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…

    April 11, 2024 - By 

    Sounds interesting, were any #SecondLife #machinima works submitted? There’s a separate immersive exhibition, patronised by artist Jean-Michel Jarre. For its inaugural edition, a committee of industry experts and Festival de Cannes representatives, under the supervision of the General Delegate of the Festival de Cannes, will select eight immersive works in competition. Additionally, a curated selection of non-competitive works, illustrating the synergy between immersive experiences and cinema, will complement the program. https://www.festival-cannes.com/en/press/press-releases/for-its-77th-edition-the-festival-de-cannes-launches-its-immersive-competition/

    Change Is Coming – Welcome to Steelhead City in #SecondLife

    October 24, 2023 - By 

    My chosen community in Second Life is going through some exciting changes – Sheriff Fuzzball Ortega is reorganizing things, and a crew of folks are working on various remodeling and rebuilding projects around Steelhead City. There will be parcels available for rental very soon, and my shop is probably going to move across the street to make way for a civic improvement project. While thinking about these changes, I rezzed out some of the buildings I have in inventory to see if I’d want to change things completely. Most of my DFS items are packed and ready to sell in…
