The next video in Goon’s series goes over the #Blender user interface in a clear and logical manner. A lot of the time we tend to just jump into the middle of trying to make something in Blender without knowing what-the-hell we are doing. This video series gets us started on the right foot. At least, at this point, I always feel positive, before the confusion sets in about which hotkey to use, or how not to fold mesh over, or how to avoid horrible horrible n-gons, and wearing out my Z key from undoing so much. Goon (Goonther Blackcinder)…

I’m going to watch every one of #BlenderGoon ‘s #Blender tutorials in order, because I keep getting frustrated by my lack of grounding in the fundamentals. 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 the school landing area. There are 2 schoolrooms – Goon’s and also Celestine Ghiardie has a dedicated schoolroom that’s geared more for clothing design and instruction. This first video is a short “How to Install Blender” instructional.

Last week, I blogged about making my #SecondLife simpler, more organized, and spending more time in creative pursuits and less time on mindless virtual farming, tending, planting, harvesting, cooking…and so on. Over the last couple of weekends, and late into the night all this week, I went a little crazy with the “reorganizing” part and tore apart my virtual kitchen, which had been up in a skybox. I also reorganized my other Digital Farming System fields, animals, and tons of single-prim scripted sorting boxes. For some reason, I have this need to play with scripts that sort and then rezz…

Long time reader of the #SecondLife newspaper the #SLNewser – you have to ignore the outdated look. #RelayForLifeInSecondLife is a huge fundraising event for the American Cancer Society, raising millions of real US dollars over the years. In the interview with Gwen Sunkiller, reporter Bixyl Shuftan mentions “Fuzz and The Hair” and #Steelhead Image from my Flickr album “Steelhead I hope Fuzz has time for running the Steelhead Salmons RFL team this year, maybe I can help.

Wishing you peaceful holidays – all of them. If you celebrate, whatever you celebrate, celebrate yourself. You’ve almost made it out of 2022. Testing to see how the new #iOSShareSheet works for both #Wordpress and #Tooot – using a plug-in for WP. Taken at a sandbox, this photo backdrop was too much #LandImpact or LI for my home parcel.

Yes, I’ve been motivated lately – not only did I just list this at the Marketplace: A simple antique rug, well worn but carefully kept, enhances any decor. This one has paler, more subtle colors and more vertical lines and angular designs in the corners. via Second Life Marketplace – @DF@ Antique Rug Egyptian Revival. But I also have this for sale in my NEW SHOP in Steelhead City, as well as in the Tweddle outlet shop: Currently I’ve only had time to load it in inworld vendors, but will add it to the Marketplace presently. I have some exciting…

Courtesy of a Twitter avatar image toy, another way to present myself as a completely unfocused cloud of color. Sorry, dear theoretical reader, I haven’t been blogging or even socializing much lately. But I have been building, and I’ve cut back on mainland holdings in favor of a nice big riverside parcel in Steelhead St Helens, which will soon hold a rebuilt store and a rededicated “plank house” that will be part an old fishing camp, with more cultural items and historical photos on display. I’ve signed on for STEAM 5 and so has Dhughan, who has taken a bigger…

Once again Linden Labs’ shocking inattention to critical service issues threatens virtual life as we know it; the teleport system that bridges the SL-RL interface is STILL hopelessly borked. What’s more, it’s been logged, voted on, watched, discussed, and Twittered, and is yet to be worked on. Unacceptable. I had a similar experience today to this Resident’s problem: I’m still experiencing this issue in version 2.6. I just attempted to use it to teleport to work this morning however the same problem is preventing me from doing so. Now because of this problem I’m going to have to get out…
