    Messiah Studio for $10-40 – Just Playin’ Around Money

    February 10, 2011 - By 

    It’s an incredible deal for 3D modeling software. What the heck, it’s normally almost $1200 for the pro version. If enough people “dare to share,” they get the software. If not, the money is refunded (and I paid via PayPal, which can’t hurt). It’s overkill, but may be fun to play with for Second Life purposes. The software company pmG Worldwide is conducting a viral test marketing campaign by selling their award-winning animation/rendering engine Messiah Studio 5 for an incredibly low price. There are two options for purchase, the first being a limited-feature basic edition for $10 (regularly priced at…

    New Second Life Saviour Manifests: Mr Kneb Warns Against Bunny-Pony War

    January 26, 2011 - By 

    Insightful new thought-leader emerges in Second Life, so look for @StopClengBenk to start his libelous smears on the Twitter soon. Also, it’s Bewbie Wednesday! Please, won’t someone remember the chickens? The first step for those who try to undermine our way of life is always to have us start fighting amongst ourselves. That way we are too busy to notice their machinations. They have succeeded in starting a grid-wide civil war between the bunnies and the ponies. Have you noticed that nobody is even talking about the poor chickens? Wake up people! They’re trying to tear us apart!

    Blender? Blimey, Begin @ The Beguineing, Sheepishly

    January 21, 2011 - By 

    Dhughan attended yet another class on sculpted prims, and came away shaking his head at choices offered if we want to get serious about making stuffs again – and not get too frustrated at our inability to make anything besides blobs. Sculptypaint, for all its excellent freeness, is really limited in its usefulness. It’s marvelous for producing simple-ish geometric shapes, which can also be twisted and textured in the program. It’s a steller smoother, if a sculpt has been produced with a different program. But for detailed sculpting, or a carved or high-relief look, not easy to use. So hey,…

    My Sheeps, They Are Ded

    January 21, 2011 - By 

    Long story. It started with a Tweeter from Philip Linden, saying something rather tactless about tip jars: “Note to cafe owners: Don’t use an opaque tip box. People are sheep.“ The next thing I know, the Church of SecondLieology sent me a herd of sheep, but they were dead on arrival. I think. What does this glowing, circular arrowy thingy do when I clicky-clicky?? Maybe I’d better ask the new guy. MySheepsTheyAreDed_001, originally uploaded by Lelani Carver.

    Online profiles: A curiosity in #SecondLife

    January 14, 2011 - By 

    Yep, web-enabled profiles are here and have been for a while apparently. When I looked at mine just now, I realized I needed to fix some outdated stuff. The land is still for sale, though, and my new project is progressing although RL commitments cut into building time. Prices have been reduced and it’s finally showing in search. Also, I put out some freebies on both parcels – a silly Ceiling Cat T- shirt I made using a photo I took at last year’s Chicago W00tstock nerdfest.
