    Builders Gotta Build. Blenders Gotta Blend.

    August 16, 2012 - By 

    As my RL vacation ends I look forward to building again, and will try to comprehend Blender once again. Every time I make a start, I get stymied by class schedules; it seems best to just go the tutorial route as below. It took me about three days to learn how to do in Blender, albeit clumsily, pretty much anything I can do with prims, starting from having looked at Blender a couple of times and thought WTF. I expect it’ll take me the rest of my life to learn how to do it really well, though. For what it’s…

    To STEAM or not to STEAM: Waiting to hear

    July 31, 2012 - By 

    Worked on a few new pet beds and a new Adventurer’s Hat last night and was worried about perms changing. Ran across something in the Building and Texturing Forum linking to this useful hidden feature: Debug Permissions is a tool which shows you granular attributes of your Second Life items. Permissions have numerous subtleties and with some practice, Debug Permissions can help you figure these out. You should have a firm understanding of next-owner permissions before using Debug Permissions. Oh hey, that’s useful! Wish I’d seen it before… Link: Debug Permissions – Second Life Wiki I applied for STEAM 7…

    Time to #passthehat – a friend needs help

    July 30, 2012 - By 

    A friend needs a little help, so pass the pixel hat around. And try to make it to Mistletoe’s gig tomorrow! Link: RL Rears Its Ugly Head | Mistletoe Ethaniels Blog I always liked that phrase. Such good imagery. ”Rears its ugly head” conjures up images of a sleeping monster suddenly awakened, and as soon as you see that head come up, oh kids you know you’re in for it. Well, the ugly head that RL has reared in our world is none other than The Big One itself. It’s not death that’s already happened, however; nor is it a…

    Oh Good, Dhughan Has More Time To Procrastinate Converting Items At #SLMarketplace

    July 28, 2012 - By 

    I’ve got several deadlines to meet before the typist goes on vacation to the western wilderness in a mumble-mumble days’ time. One of them just got pushed back, which benefits Dhughan rather than me, as I’ve finished converting my SL Marketplace listings (such as they are). We have extended the Magic Box migration to October 1, 2012 and will be providing a more complete Marketplace/Direct Delivery update within the next couple of weeks.We’d like to remind those of you who see any issues to please file a JIRA or contact support with your issue so we can confirm and address…
