    No #SecondLife #Senra #Devkits distributed yet – still learning Blender

    September 7, 2023 - By 

    As of right now, no SDKs (Senra development kits for the new starter avatars) have been distributed, according to Patch Linden. We anticipate the updated versions of the bodies and heads to be released within a few weeks. In the meantime, we still have all submitted applications saved on file, and new applicants are continued to be welcomed. When the dev kit is ready for distribution, we will release it in batches, beginning with our earliest applicants. – Senra Applications from Second Life Community Board  Okay, then. I was wondering if my application was incomplete or messed up, as I…

    Texture Baking In Blender Cycles

    August 24, 2023 - By 

    This is one of the best overviews of texture baking for Blender that I’ve ever seen. The baking system in Blender takes a lot of critiques for being unintuitive, hard to understand and error prone. In this article, I aim to untangle the confusion about baking in Blender with Cycles. GUESS IT WOULD HELP IF I ADD THE FRICKING LINK. Artistic Render

    In the #SecondLife communities, content creation is a big deal, and some brands are no doubt jumping on the chance to get the devkit (developer's creation kit) for the new Senra mesh bodies. These have been teased and rumored by Linden Lab for years; today their spokesperson Patch Linden finally made the big announcement.

    Getting My #SecondLife Just In Time To Celebrate

    June 18, 2023 - By 

    My #FirstLife house remodeling project is finally complete, and as of a week ago or so, my big desktop computer is set up and working in its new location in a combination guest room/sewing room. So for the past week I’ve been reconnecting with friends, and even managed to make it to #RelayForLifeInSecondLife for a few hours to help with my team’s American Cancer Society fundraising. My previously quiet #SecondLife got a lot noisier and busier, and I’ve gotten back into the long process of reducing the stuff in my inventory for the inworld #DigitalFarmSystem game/activity/pastime. I say “pastime” but…

    My Quiet #SecondLife

    June 2, 2023 - By 

    My time inworld has been limited for the past few months, due to a big #firstlife #homerenovation project that’s had me and my spouse upending our lives and home since February. My ability to get inworld has been limited, since the big desktop computer was disconnected and stored in a guestroom/dumping ground, and I’m using an older laptop with a terrible onboard Intel GPU. This will change soon! The project is complete, although some large furniture including my computer desk remains to be moved around with actual muscle power. It’s so much easier moving, redecorating, and renovating in #SecondLife… I…

    They’re Coming To Take Me Away

    March 10, 2023 - By 

    I’m dancing at Club Gearz in #SecondLife with my friends in Steelhead Bay  listening to the radio stream on SciFi.com. My landlord Fuzzball Ortega is a DJ there and he streams live on Fridays for a regular community dance. The first half of the set is always weird stuff he finds. The chat went like this: Now playing: Baltimora – Tarzan Boy (Original Hit Version) Lelani Carver: isn’t this… the yodeling gargle mouthwash song? Stereo Nacht: Hehehe! Fuzzball Ortega: Yes Now playing: Blue Swede – Hooked on a Feeling Lelani Carver: Heh heh heh LISTERINE on a jungle vine! Lelani…
