Caledon Oxbridge Q&A for 2014-06-01
15:01 | Tali Rosca | Welcome to another session. |
15:01 | Carl Metropolitan | Hello |
15:01 | Tali Rosca | As many (most?) of you know, this is a questions-and-answers session which often turn into a bit of a freeform discussion about topics related to Second Life in general, and Caledon and Oxbridge specifically. |
15:01 | Tali Rosca | Each dean has their own area of responsibility, which you can ser here: http://www.caledonoxbridge.org/qna_index.php |
15:02 | Tali Rosca | We'll try to answer questions as best we can, so who has the first? |
15:02 | Carl Metropolitan | I'd really like to be on there for "taking credit for others hard work" |
15:02 | Abriel Baguier | This is probably silly, but how do I save these conversations. They're helpful and I would like to refer to them and the links later. |
15:03 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | That .... could .... be .... arrange. ;) |
15:03 | Carl Metropolitan | They are saved on the website of caledon oxbridge. |
15:03 | Carl Metropolitan | http://www.caledonoxbridge.org/qna_index.php |
15:03 | Abriel Baguier | Thanks. |
15:03 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | The transcripts are posted. |
15:03 | Martini Discovolante | you can also copy and paste into a note ard, just like any other text |
15:03 | Abriel Baguier | That's great. |
15:03 | Martini Discovolante | card |
15:03 | Tali Rosca | Apart from the transcripts, there is a pretty good chance your viewer is already set up to log chat. |
15:03 | Abriel Baguier | Oh. See. I knew it was obvious. . . |
15:04 | Tali Rosca | Under Preferences/Chat, you can set up where the logs are stored (if any). |
15:04 | Abriel Baguier | I'm using Firestorm. |
15:04 | Abriel Baguier | Okay. I'll check that. Thanks. |
15:04 | Steadman Kondor | greetings all :) |
15:05 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Greetings, Mr Kondor |
15:05 | Steadman Kondor | am blind today - will grope my way to a chair |
15:05 | Morgan W. Mickalobe (mmorganwhitfield) | Where do I have weekly/monthly events in Caledon? |
15:05 | Steadman Kondor | thank you miss rosca |
15:06 | Morgan W. Mickalobe (mmorganwhitfield) | *sorry for typo* where do i go to find information about weekly/monthly events in Caledon? |
15:06 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Welcome, Dean Kondor. Happy to have you here in what capacity you can achieve. |
15:06 | Carl Metropolitan | In Firestorm go to the "Avatar" menu, then select "Preferences" Then on the "Preferences" window go to the "Privacy" side tab, and the "General" top tab under that. 2/3rds of the way down that pane are the chat logging controls. |
15:07 | Carl Metropolitan | http://aetherchrononauts.org/ is one place Morgan. It covers more than just Caledon |
15:07 | Abriel Baguier | Thank you. |
15:07 | Carl Metropolitan | The Caledon Events Catalog is at https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=7p9rjf6okdi9qfgt3h7oe0m6dc@group.calendar.google.com&gsessionid=OK |
15:07 | Morgan W. Mickalobe (mmorganwhitfield) | thank you prof. Carl! |
15:07 | Carl Metropolitan | And there is a Caledon Library events listing at |
15:07 | Carl Metropolitan | https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=0jbbusp28jl6dmj8mgn9gqm8v0@group.calendar.google.com |
15:08 | Carl Metropolitan | And of course Oxbridge events can be found at http://www.caledonoxbridge.org/class_schedule.php |
15:08 | Tali Rosca | I keep forgetting the specific address of http://aetherchrononauts.org/ . |
15:08 | Tali Rosca | It's always just "that aether-site". |
15:08 | ClaireDeAir | I am usig a text to speech hud please keep the web pages short or for after. |
15:09 | Carl Metropolitan | And if that's not enough, you can go tot Lucien Brentano's "What to Do in Caledon" class at 9pm SLT Wednesdays |
15:09 | Gronk Seriman | More info than you can shake a stick at! If shaking sticks is your thing.... |
15:09 | Carl Metropolitan | I will remember that. |
15:09 | Abriel Baguier | No kidding. Great info! |
15:10 | Carl Metropolitan | We are full of it :) |
15:10 | Gronk Seriman | heehee! |
15:10 | Abriel Baguier | :-) |
15:10 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | There is also a link to the Aether Chrononauts calendar from the new Gazette page (on the sidebar). http://www.caledonoxbridge.org/gazette/ |
15:11 | Tali Rosca | Oh, the Gazette is live an visible there! |
15:11 | Carl Metropolitan | And a link to the three long URLs from the "Events" poster outside next to the Oxbridge schedule. |
15:11 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | You might begin to think that we are quite eventful. |
15:12 | Steadman Kondor | yes :) it's soft roll out |
15:13 | Tali Rosca | That has snuck out under the cover of the dark, hasn't it? I don't recall hearing anything official about it. |
15:14 | Carl Metropolitan | Steadman is the mastermind behind the Gazette. Perhaps he has some more info. |
15:14 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | There was some email discussion on it. |
15:14 | Steadman Kondor | the launch is 22nd this month |
15:14 | Steadman Kondor | but we look forward to getting some content up by the time of the launch |
15:14 | Tali Rosca | ...so what you're seeing there currently is a figment of your imagination. |
15:15 | Steadman Kondor | (coinciding with SL11B, the second life community birthday event) |
15:15 | Steadman Kondor | there will be some steampunk robot vendors distributing links to the gazette at the SL11B site too :) |
15:15 | ClaireDeAir | When does sl11b start? |
15:16 | Steadman Kondor | june 22nd |
15:16 | ClaireDeAir | aah ok |
15:16 | ClaireDeAir | ♥ Thank Youuuuuuuuuu!! ♥ |
15:16 | Steadman Kondor | Mr Carl has set up a display for Caledon Oxbridge University |
15:17 | Steadman Kondor | so i hope you all can visit our site as well as the sims overall |
15:17 | Carl Metropolitan | We are not open yet though. It is restricted to builders right now. |
15:17 | Steadman Kondor | i had a sneak peak at the others, it's a big variety of wonderful builds |
15:17 | Steadman Kondor | i had lodged in an application personally for an 'art installation' |
15:18 | Carl Metropolitan | I've updated the build from VWBPE using mesh columns contributed by Sauce Sorrowman |
15:18 | Steadman Kondor | very well coordinated marketing, and youtube video's promoting SL11B, |
15:18 | Carl Metropolitan | So we don't have any more sculpties I think. |
15:18 | Morgan W. Mickalobe (mmorganwhitfield) | excuse me... |
15:19 | Carl Metropolitan | I have an approved application for giving a talk on "Improving the New User Experience in Second Life" (aka "Carl Metropolitan Tells Linden Lab How to Do Their Jobs--Because Someone Has To") |
15:19 | Audrey Lindsay (nathalia.earst) | I WILL BURN THIS COLLEGE |
15:19 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | ejected |
15:19 | Gronk Seriman | geez. |
15:19 | Meora (menchor) | byebye |
15:20 | lovejoy2199 | Ohhh...Great!!!! |
15:20 | Abriel Baguier | Goodness. |
15:20 | Carl Metropolitan | We do need some new arch villains in Caledon, but they must have manners! |
15:20 | Larkylouz | geea, you got a greivance, there missy? |
15:20 | ClaireDeAir | bye bye crazy lady hehehe |
15:20 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Aw cripes... |
15:20 | Tali Rosca | Anyway, other questions? |
15:20 | Tali Rosca | That was fairly random. |
15:20 | Meora (menchor) | when there are several people who can and will eject you its not exactly smart to pull something |
15:21 | Carl Metropolitan | Yes. |
15:21 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Not to mentionban |
15:21 | Carl Metropolitan | What taxanomic order of animals are crabs, lobsters, prawns, and shrimp all members of? |
15:21 | Steadman Kondor | save that for the quiz, mr carl :) that's a good one |
15:21 | ClaireDeAir | I would suggest turning off the ability to rez when not needed. |
15:21 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Do I sense a plug for Trivial Entertainment? |
15:21 | Carl Metropolitan | It is from the Tuesday at 7pm SLT "A Trivial Entertainment" show! |
15:22 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Too Late Entertainment for some :-) |
15:22 | Carl Metropolitan | If anyone cares, the answer was: Decapods (As their name would imply, decapods have ten legs--however in most decapods, the front three pairs of legs have become specialized as mouthparts.) |
15:22 | Meora (menchor) | what is Oxbridge doing to help newbies who use the mesh avatars that just appeared in the library? |
15:22 | Steadman Kondor | i thought crustaceans ! |
15:22 | Gronk Seriman | I thought it was "Crunchy Seafood". |
15:22 | Larkylouz | Telling them to use the old ones? Snort! |
15:22 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | "pääjalkaiset" in Finnish |
15:23 | Tali Rosca | The new mesh avatars is a bit of a sore spot. |
15:23 | Tali Rosca | We have still to stabilize on some common way to treat it. |
15:23 | Gronk Seriman | I was going to bring that up! |
15:23 | Carl Metropolitan | We probably need a notecard with a detailed answer. |
15:23 | Carl Metropolitan | Or a link to an explanation on the web site? |
15:23 | Tali Rosca nods. "I have been thinking about writing up some standard explanation." | |
15:23 | Gronk Seriman | How do you tell a new person they chose a modern, yet difficult avatar to deal with? |
15:24 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | "Cannot be adjusted yet" |
15:24 | Tali Rosca | But it is hard to do without it turning into a bulky dissertation on obscure quirks accumulated over a decade. |
15:24 | Abriel Baguier | What would a modern, yet difficult to deal with avatar be? I'm seriously asking. |
15:24 | Tali Rosca | But as Gronk alludes to, that is pretty much the crux. |
15:24 | Steadman Kondor | If the newbies at least be guided to use one of the caledon starting av packs, |
15:24 | Carl Metropolitan | Tali, ask me after class. I may have some stuff you can steal from my blog on the subject and from some old notecards |
15:24 | Steadman Kondor | then they are back to the default and customisable |
15:25 | Carl Metropolitan | They are old. They could use some updating. They have not been updated for four years I believe though. |
15:25 | Tali Rosca | For those not in the know, LL recently introduced full-mesh avatars. They completely replace the traditional avatar shape, so they do not react the same way to sliders, and they cannot wear normal system clothing. |
15:26 | Cherry Larkspur | Graet...LOL |
15:26 | ClaireDeAir | I do not use any noob mesh avatars, I was wondering can they modify them just like we did in the past, also I think I need ot see the new avatars so I know who is a noob so I can go afk. |
15:26 | Cherry Larkspur | great too |
15:26 | Abriel Baguier | So you have to completely replace your wardrobe? |
15:26 | Gronk Seriman | New people are being offered mesh avatars at the start. The fact that they are no modify doesn't help. |
15:26 | ClaireDeAir | afk |
15:26 | Tali Rosca | In theory, you should be able to adjust them to some extent using sliders. But LL screwed up and launched them as no-mod. |
15:26 | Abriel Baguier | afk? |
15:27 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | afk = away from keyboard. |
15:27 | Meora (menchor) | haven't they fixed the no mod they said they were going to |
15:27 | Abriel Baguier | Ahhhhh. Thanks. (Blushing) |
15:27 | Tali Rosca | I have not checked recently, in fact. They may have. |
15:28 | Carl Metropolitan | They also screwed up by not using fitted mesh clothing for them, so each avatar's clothing normally only works on it. |
15:28 | Tali Rosca | AS for replacing all clothes... a lot of clothes has already phased to full mesh, so that should, in theory, be usable with the new avatars. |
15:28 | Tali Rosca | But fit is an issue. |
15:28 | Carl Metropolitan | LL's outside contractors apparently used neither fitted mesh or standard sizing. |
15:29 | ClaireDeAir | wow that has got to be a bad and in some cases a good thing they can't mod them, no more freaky men with over sized boobs :-) |
15:29 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | They will find a way... |
15:30 | Meora (menchor) | never underestimate the creativity of some people |
15:30 | Tali Rosca | So yeah, the new avatars are quirky, and requires a fair bit of explanation to understand. |
15:30 | Steadman Kondor | Mind you, a newbie might very well prefer an entire outfit change to a Petite or a Micro or a Tiny or another mesh avatar. |
15:30 | Larkylouz | Well, and they are not particularly attractive avatars. I would assume most newbs would be eager to find attractive male avatars with boobs. Just sayin' |
15:30 | Martini Discovolante | people may look however they choose. |
15:30 | Steadman Kondor thinks we need a class on avatar customisation | |
15:31 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Good idea |
15:31 | Meora (menchor) | well we are seeing parts of the avatar done in mesh like Slink hands and feet |
15:32 | Tali Rosca | It would have been nice if LL laid the groundwork for a standard for such interchangeable parts, by launching a series of avatars using a standardized mesh. |
15:32 | Tali Rosca | But they chose not to go that route. |
15:32 | Carl Metropolitan | The ovesized boobs you see around SL are mostly mesh ad-ons made by "Lola's Tangos" |
15:32 | Carl Metropolitan | I can't comment on how many are worn by men. |
15:32 | Steadman Kondor | Is there such a thing as standardised mesh size though |
15:32 | Tali Rosca | Only a de facto standard. |
15:33 | Tali Rosca | I have advocated a bit for using the MakeHuman mesh. |
15:33 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | There were agreements on standardized sizes between creators. |
15:33 | Meora (menchor) | fitted mesh is just getting to the point where it works right |
15:33 | Tali Rosca | It's a very well made human mesh figure. |
15:33 | Tali Rosca | Fitted mesh *works*, technically speaking. But people are still learning how to use it. |
15:33 | Abriel Baguier | Anyone here mesh? |
15:34 | Martini Discovolante | me |
15:34 | Meora (menchor) | my feet and dress |
15:34 | Abriel Baguier | Still trying to figure it out. |
15:34 | Martini Discovolante | me be mesh |
15:34 | Steadman Kondor | i dont mind the new set of mesh avatars. If only LL makes it easier for the newbies how to change to other avs |
15:34 | Abriel Baguier | Well, that figures, my dear friend. |
15:34 | Abriel Baguier | ;-) |
15:34 | Martini Discovolante | :3 |
15:34 | Larkylouz | My pants are mesh. Mesh uses an alpha mask which makes part of your body invisible so it doesn't poke through. Mesh doesn't mold to any size like the older clothes do. |
15:35 | Tali Rosca | Actually, fitted mesh do. |
15:35 | Larkylouz | Yes. I stand corrected, Tali. |
15:35 | Meora (menchor) | this dress is fitted mesh |
15:35 | Abriel Baguier | I could use some mesh around my middle then. |
15:35 | Larkylouz | heee |
15:35 | Tali Rosca | Or at least attempts to do, but it still uses alpha masks to hide the spots where it goes wrong. |
15:36 | ClaireDeAir | Are the new mesh avatars the same thing but just mesh or did they add more? |
15:37 | Tali Rosca | The mesh avatars are "just clothes". A full skin suit you're inside. |
15:37 | Steadman Kondor | no, they are all mesh |
15:37 | Steadman Kondor | the whole body is a mesh, then mesh clothing items on top of it |
15:37 | Tali Rosca | So in that sense, they are just like any other worn mesh. |
15:37 | Meora (menchor) | \you wear a full body alpha to hide the body |
15:38 | Larkylouz | which has scared more than one newb who managed to get down to just the alpha and disappeared on themselves. |
15:38 | Meora (menchor) | Ha ha ha hahahaaa |
15:38 | Tali Rosca | I would not be surprised if LL soon introduced an option to not have the old avatar at all. It makes little sense to calculate it, all invisible, inside the mesh skin. |
15:38 | Steadman Kondor | we still need to customise our heads though |
15:38 | Martini Discovolante | that explains all the invisible newbettes i have seen lately |
15:38 | Steadman Kondor | us olbies |
15:39 | Tali Rosca | Customizing the head is one of the big weaknesses of the new mesh avatars. |
15:39 | Tali Rosca | They react to most body sliders for size, but not for the head at all. |
15:39 | Larkylouz | One can customize the heads? ohhhh |
15:39 | ClaireDeAir | U guys shoudl have a collecting of older freebie avatars. |
15:40 | Steadman Kondor | we have the oxbridge steampunk set |
15:40 | Jesa Li | You *can* alter the size of the head on Dinkies very easily |
15:40 | Tali Rosca | All the more reason to establish a de facto standard with interchangeable parts, so you can switch head. |
15:40 | Martini Discovolante | i like my head size!~ |
15:40 | Tali Rosca | Size, yes, but not all the details. Nose, eyes cheekbones. |
15:41 | Meora (menchor) | and most heads are too smallto be correctly proportioned |
15:41 | Jesa Li | Tali, very true. |
15:41 | Steadman Kondor quotes, "If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs..." |
|
15:42 | Larkylouz | Adjusting the facial features to make a new avi is one of the funner activities I have discovered in SL. |
15:42 | Marzipan (marzipanmacbeth) | That's the wonderful thing about SL -- Martin can have a different head size from mine. :-) |
15:42 | Tali Rosca | The detailed customization has always been one of SL's major strengths. |
15:43 | Tali Rosca | Throwing that away... LL or the community had better come up with a good replacement soon. |
15:43 | Gronk Seriman | Is there any known way to take an "old style" avatar and meshify it? |
15:43 | ClaireDeAir | I would like to know how to make my own avatar from the ground up, not mesh, do they teach that here? |
15:43 | Tali Rosca | Some viewers allow you to export your avatar shape as .obj. |
15:44 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | We haven't tackled that .... yet. |
15:44 | Steadman Kondor | no we dont have such a class at the moment, miss claire, but we should |
15:44 | Carl Metropolitan | Its compliacated. |
15:44 | Martini Discovolante gasps....what happened to yer tail?? | |
15:44 | Tali Rosca | It would require some more work to turn it into a rigged avatar, but that couold be a start. |
15:44 | Carl Metropolitan | Especially when you deal with an underlying mesh body |
15:44 | ClaireDeAir | There is a program that turns thing into mesh. |
15:44 | ClaireDeAir | The most I do is take a freebie avatar and mod it. |
15:44 | Tali Rosca | As for "making your own avatar from the ground up", that really depends on what you actually mean by that. |
15:45 | Steadman Kondor | i would be happy to try and put together an avatar customidation class and take a proposal to dean wordsmith |
15:45 | Steadman Kondor | just as a survival kit, until a more permanent class and tutor is avail. |
15:45 | Tali Rosca | You can create all sorts of attachments and wear them over your body, as, say, many full-body "furries" do. |
15:46 | Steadman Kondor | (and to run those classes for a few weeks, i mean) |
15:46 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Carl is also working on a mesh customization class, I believe. |
15:47 | Tali Rosca | Though there is little doubt that such full-body replacements are moving to mesh, to allow it to bend naturally in the joints. |
15:47 | ClaireDeAir | yes, annoying to wear stuff as a furry instead of adding it, so watch out. |
15:47 | Steadman Kondor | how is mr carl going with that? i was thinking more how to use outfits, customise the system face and body like i use now.. |
15:48 | Steadman Kondor | wearing and buying clothes... |
15:48 | Steadman Kondor | not necessarily focussing all on mesh |
15:48 | Carl Metropolitan | No. I'm working on a class on "Creating Using Full Perm Mesh" |
15:49 | Steadman Kondor | okay then, i will send a proposal to dean wordsmith and book a spot. |
15:49 | James MacCloude (mac6572) | I have a rezable book with stories in it can I rez it here near the back so people can read them if they want to? |
15:49 | Carl Metropolitan | The content is really only tangential to mesh customization, which I would assume would involved working with collada files in outside programs. |
15:49 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | While we are discussing classes, we have a couple of changes this week. |
15:49 | Steadman Kondor | this newbie mesh av issue has been to the fore a couple of weeks now, i think it's a good time to make an active step :) |
15:49 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Prof Florian is teaching a Land Impact class on Monday. |
15:49 | Steadman Kondor claps :) | |
15:49 | Carl Metropolitan | Someone was going to work on an Avatar Appearance class for us, but she had RL hit her hard and had to back out. |
15:50 | Steadman Kondor notes that down - human proportions. | |
15:50 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | And Prof Larkylouz is doing her basic photography class on Euro time this week. |
15:50 | Steadman Kondor claps again :) | |
15:50 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) unfurls flags and waves them | |
15:50 | Larkylouz | We'll try a euro time class once a month and see if we get an adequate response. |
15:50 | James MacCloude (mac6572) | smiles |
15:50 | Meora (menchor) | there are some tools for proportioning an avatar |
15:51 | ClaireDeAir | Where do you keep the older avatar collection and do I have to be under 30 days old to receive it? |
15:51 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | These are likely to repeat on an irregular schedule. |
15:51 | Martini Discovolante | yes you do, |
15:51 | Steadman Kondor | some RP sims like 1920s berlin are quite strict and instructive on human proportions |
15:51 | Tali Rosca | The lecture hall is for teaching SL-related skills, not for promoting personal projects, so no, we can't let people rez such projects as part of COU. |
15:51 | ClaireDeAir | I would like something I can hand out to friends |
15:51 | Carl Metropolitan | The older avatar collection is in the Hall of Avatar Customization |
15:51 | James MacCloude (mac6572) | ok |
15:51 | Larkylouz | And, crossing fingers, my connection problems seem to have lessened, |
15:52 | Carl Metropolitan | You have to be under 30 days to get it because of a request by some of the creators at the time the original avatars were created. |
15:52 | Steadman Kondor | yes miss claire, there is a 30 day limit i believe |
15:52 | Martini Discovolante | and all teh COU avatars are no transfer |
15:52 | Tali Rosca | I don't know if the library accepts such submissions? |
15:52 | Steadman Kondor | i'll find other available av outfits to use during the class |
15:52 | James MacCloude (mac6572) | ok |
15:53 | Gronk Seriman wonders if she should blow the dust off of her "Avatar Show & Tell" class idea. | |
15:53 | ClaireDeAir | yap, got to love 1920's Berlin. |
15:53 | Steadman Kondor | there are numerous freebie steampunk/victorian outfits provided near the train station here in the university |
15:53 | Tali Rosca | We have the "Vitruvian man" scale over in the hall of avatar customization. |
15:53 | Steadman Kondor nods. that is useful tool. | |
15:53 | Tali Rosca | If anybody want their own version of that, IM me. |
15:53 | Steadman Kondor | vitruvian, ie. that da vinci man |
15:54 | Steadman Kondor | who is trying to do something on the renaissance pose stand.. |
15:54 | Steadman Kondor smiles | |
15:54 | Martini Discovolante | i ahve already amended my Clothing class to try to distinguish between the old avs and the new mesh. |
15:54 | Emma Daines (emmaoftinbrook) | I'd like to learn how to make mesh clothing for rp observer packs. The old clothing does not work with the new mesh bodies. |
15:55 | Carl Metropolitan | One thing to keep in mind is that's an idealized pose and figure. Real Life humans are rarely 8 heads tall. |
15:55 | Carl Metropolitan | Another resource for Tali to grab, perhaps, Martini? |
15:55 | Tali Rosca | It is. It is geared to the "stylized heroic" proportions. |
15:55 | Tali Rosca | This *is* SL after all :-) |
15:55 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | While fashion model are drawn as 9 heads. |
15:55 | Martini Discovolante | i am sorry, Carl, i do not understand. |
15:56 | ClaireDeAir | IM which one of you?? |
15:56 | Larkylouz | Tali, Ms. DeAir |
15:57 | Tali Rosca | As for learning to create mesh clothes... We have an "introduction to mesh" class, but I don't think it deals with rigging. |
15:57 | Emma Daines (emmaoftinbrook) | Thank you. I'll attend that class to get started on mesh. |
15:57 | ClaireDeAir | I like to find nice clothes that is not mesh, so I can change my avatar and not worry about trying to make it fit as even the XL size may not work right once I move my avatar around or dance. |
15:58 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | No, I mention it along with the distinction between the skeleton and the volume skeleton for fitted mesh, but don't get into using them. |
15:58 | Carl Metropolitan | The language in your clothing class about the difference between mesh and non-mesh avatars could be of use to the notecard Tali is talking about making for new users who have the new avatars and are confused where to go from them. |
15:58 | Carl Metropolitan | That's all. |
15:58 | Larkylouz | There are lots of freebies out there, and some of them are quite nice. You just have to be willing to go thrugh a lot of junk. |
15:59 | Tali Rosca | http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Mesh/Rigging_Fitted_Mesh#Download_links has the latest standard models to work with, for various 3D programs. |
