    The Marauder: Sailing Over The Bounding Mainland

    July 25, 2014 - By 

    The recent Premium Gift from Linden Lab for Second Life paid users was received with mixed feelings – it’s a great looking steampunk airship, but the land impact was 502LI. My initial excitement was tempered by regret – it looked great, but was so costly in land impact that most people would never bother to rez it unless they were in a sandbox. I ran into Inara Pey inworld when I first got my Marauder, who later blogged about the high LI of the original. Well, Dhughan discovered today when he went to grab a copy, that a new version…

    Retopology with Optimo Maximo at #BuildersBrewery for #Blender

    July 3, 2014 - By 

    Yes, I’m being dogged (or rather kittehed) about it. I have the day off and today is a school day for learning Blender. Currently, have read through chapter 3 of Blender Graphics by John M Blain (first edition). I’m doing some of the learning modules on Gryllus.com later today, too. But this Retopology class came up, and as I can never attend Maximo’s classes during my normal work week, this is too important to miss. Must not ragequit, must not ragequit. OM. NOM. NOM. So hey, I was able to follow along for a while, and when I got stuck,…

    July 3, 2014 - By 

    If you’re going to sell virtual products, you’ve got to market virtual products. I get a LOT of emails from various marketing groups (I have IMs set to go to emails). Most of those messages are about new products, and they get deleted immediately, because the SUBJECT LINE tells me nothing about the new product.

At Mystore!” Or they say “Brand Name at Big Shopping Event” or even goofy messages like “Check notecard for the new stuff! Kiss-kiss!” What??? I have to go inworld to…

    Virtual world Second Life to be reincarnated, with Oculus Rift | Technology | theguardian.com

    June 30, 2014 - By 

    Whatever happened to virtual world Second Life after the flurry of hype and influx of brands in 2005 and 2006? You dont hear much about it nowadays. Actually, Second Life never went away; it was the media and brands that once flocked to it who melted away. The worlds existing community of around 1m users carried on with their virtual lives much as they had before. via Virtual world Second Life to be reincarnated, with Oculus Rift | Technology | theguardian.com. Some on SLUniverse poo-poohed my post of this story there, since I thought it was funny to add a…
