Hey endorsements please...Please?

T-shirts yeah

Second Life was really slow today so it was a bit frustrating to work on. We made personal T-shirts today which was kinda cool. And made also the start of a gun that I may edit later.

A good texture can be somewhat fudged, though on the cylinder I did actually use a machined metal texture, I can come back to this and use it if needed, perhaps scale it down a little first. We have also a rotation script in our inventory, it is just a matter of dragging that to the object and adjusting the rotation speed and direction.

Propeller

If I were, to start this propeller again I would probably do it much quicker by just doing two blades I think because it will spin any way.

My Hutt

A Transparency of 90, select black and no texture and you have windows! Yay.
There was some lag trouble and a need to re-boot, with any luck next time won't have that problem. So Today it is the whole idea of the position on axis, by punching the numbers in, an easier and quicker way.

Shortcuts: CTRL L = Link
CTRL SHIFT = unlink
SHIFT = copy
CTRL D = copy and move piece.


Next class we decide absolutely what we will do as a class, to build a big project, so far we have some sketchy ideas, so perhaps I'll give some thought to ideas also but we will decide as a class on one particular theme or city.

The VUT island

So I improved my Avatars outfit and here, I have created a primitive shape and applied my 'first life photo to it.
Here I am pointing at it, which is what happens when you are in 'create' mode.
It's kinda coll because i think you can sorta be a bit creative on how you represent yourself in second life, obviously some things are a bit exaggerated, like the muscle tone, I think i will join a gym now!

James aka CanYouDiggItBaby

This is a photo of me in the bathroom at Vut, It's easier to take a photo while looking in the mirror I discovered.
I want to convey coolness in the real life, My second life image is of course going to be trendy, though I will need to give the avatar a bit better clothing.

I am not as handsome as I feel that I am somehow, though impressions are conveyed by the personality and by self confidence to a degree.

The exploration of second life

A demonstration in modelling a shape, in this a canoe with a simple wood texture appropriately scaled to match.
Australia well some part near Sydney Harbour , fascinating.
This was a nice area of Montserrat Beach village, some nice texturing and yacht meshes.
Plush Kappa ,this place was cheesy if not for some nice buildings I would have not bothered too long with it as it is mostly a shopping area.
I discovered that with some locations, genuine care is taken to have nice meshes. Unfortunately there is an overexposure of just stuff to purchase and I found that there is less emphasis in some cases, of how well some malls or shopping districts are constructed . This place was in Montserrat beach village.
