    To Do List in #SecondLife

    July 14, 2025 - By Lelani

    DFS drawdown continues: this picture from last year shows stuff that’s all gone. Currently I have just some old collectibles and seasonal ingredients that will be heavily discounted this evening. I have extra fields to sell – very old school ones that aren’t “cool” and should be sold for $L40 or less. I may plant them to make them more sellable. The remaining ingredients are being “cooked down” and loaded into “lunchboxes” that hold the EP (energy points) that are also set for sale. DFS recipes can be maddeningly complex – with secondary or tertiary recipes that have to be…

    ZOMG! #glTF Channel Packer Tool for #PBR Materials

    September 23, 2023 - By Lelani

    Whoa! While browsing Rei’s site, stumbled on to this open-source tool. #SecondLife is moving to a PBR workflow “real soon now,” and the big content creators will have a painfully steep learning curve converting their products’ textures. This will help, expect SL to bury this info deep in the PBR wiki. aiaicapta.in/gltf-packer/

    Channel Packing Tool #specularworkflow for #SecondLife or #gameassets

    September 23, 2023 - By Lelani

    While doing homework for the coming #glTF workflow in #SecondLife I struggled with #channelpacking textures for manipulating how light reflects off of materials in a game engine. It’s easy in Photoshop, harder in GIMP. There used to be a plug-in for extracting different kinds of “maps” from images, but it was easy to screw up. The manual method is tedious; you can’t just plop a texture into an RGB channel, you have to make each greyscale. This open source tool might be helpful, and the aiaicapta.in is cited in the SL wiki as authoritative. The same site also has a…

    Learning #Blender with #BlenderGoon – V1.5 Building in Object Mode, uploading to #SecondLife

    September 10, 2023 - By Lelani

    Now we’re getting somewhere. I’ve recently created objects with the standard “primitives” in Blender, so for me this is still review. It was still a struggle but eventually I produced the required lesson objects and got them uploaded into the “test grid.” GREAT SUCCESS. After taking a long break for some RL errands yesterday, I was able to produce the two objects from the lesson… and during Goon’s discussion of uploading to SL, he mentioned he was skipping some “checklist” steps. And yep, one of those steps was to check for flipped normals. The soda cup and straw is fine,…

    Learning #Blender with #BlenderGoon – V1.4 Blender Object Mode Tools

    September 9, 2023 - By Lelani

    The next video in Goon’s series covers Object Mode tools. I’m going to try to speed up for these and spend less time looking for funny Blender memes to replace the “featured image.” BUT THEY ARE SO FUNNY… Ten or thirty minutes later I finally watched the video! And then started playing around with the Annotate tool and got horsed up trying to get a Wacom tablet working. More watching, less going down rabbit holes. Goon (Goonther Blackcinder) is a #SecondLife resident who teaches at #BlenderSchool inworld at (SLURL) GoodVibes There’s an active Discord group – there’s an invite link in…
