Phrynne, can you start? |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
I have big news! |
| 15:06 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Perks up her ears. |
| 15:07 |
Gronk Seriman |
Ooo? |
| 15:07 |
Phrynne |
Thanks to Johann Helman-Barrett Reisende, the Spanish translation of the tutorial is finished! |
| 15:07 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Yay |
| 15:07 |
Phrynne |
We are now complete in both French and Spanish |
| 15:07 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Bueno |
| 15:07 |
Gronk Seriman |
Yay! |
| 15:07 |
Ember (emberell) |
Milagro! |
| 15:07 |
RainyDayRecess |
Yay!! |
| 15:07 |
Phrynne |
So, now that we have the words in hand, they can be put on to the textures, as soon as that is possible. |
| 15:08 |
Phrynne |
The Portuguese translation is being started -- it may go slowly but it will go. |
| 15:08 |
Ember (emberell) |
I can help a little with the Portuguese, too |
| 15:08 |
Ember (emberell) |
If it's needed. |
| 15:09 |
Phrynne |
Ember, you may want to coordinate with Roth Grut (I need to check the spelling of the name), who is doing it. |
| 15:09 |
Phrynne |
He is the person who runs Ajuda SL Brasil. |
| 15:10 |
Ember (emberell) |
Let me send them an IM |
| 15:10 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
This has been a long-term vision and project, and the pieces are coming together. |
| 15:10 |
Phrynne |
In other news, you may see a face on the plaza that you haven't seen in a while. Vanessa Hamer, who is an emeritus dean and professor, is back in SL and is helping on the plaza. Please give her assistance if she asks for it -- she has been out of SL for a few years. |
| 15:10 |
Phrynne |
And that is what I have for today. |
| 15:10 |
Ember (emberell) |
Roth Grut? |
| 15:11 |
Phrynne |
Let me check. |
| 15:11 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Yes, Ember |
| 15:11 |
Ember (emberell) |
It looks right, I just want to be sure |
| 15:12 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Andrea, Have anything for this week? |
| 15:13 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Not much, Updating the 2500 patron list today. All active members are paid up. One has returned and is current for the next 4 months. Those folks that have been paying in their 1000 l for the new patron group. ty. You should be receiving a nc this week asking you to confirm that you are wanting to be a member |
| 15:13 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
then you will be sent a invite tot he group and a pin from Rainy |
| 15:14 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
RainyDayRecess |
| 15:14 |
RainyDayRecess |
I just sent you the updated pin Andrea |
| 15:14 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I am looking this week for someone to help setup a gotcha |
| 15:14 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |

| 15:14 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
the dragon egg hunt gotcha will be in shortly |
| 15:16 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
This dance at the Caledonian nights beach on the 5th of next month will be a fundraiser. |
| 15:16 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Belly dancing if all goes well |
| 15:16 |
Ember (emberell) |
The beach dances are very popular |
| 15:17 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
If everything goes as planned there will be a gift for donations 100 L and higher |
| 15:17 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
The dark carnival is still on my mind. |
| 15:17 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
for later in june. RL has been in the way a bit these last few weeks |
| 15:18 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Hopefully I will be back on track by Friday |
| 15:18 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I may be putting out notices in the scholars and union groups on donations and help. |
| 15:18 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
That is about it. looks back at Wordsmith |
| 15:19 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thank you, Andrea, both for the report and your efforts. |
| 15:19 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Rainy, anything you want to add on the pins or the build. |
| 15:20 |
RainyDayRecess |
No but I do have the build almost complete, I just have to UV unwrap it ;) |
| 15:20 |
Phrynne |
UV unwrap? |
| 15:20 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Great. |
| 15:21 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
UV unwrapping creates a map between a texture and a 3D surface. |
| 15:21 |
RainyDayRecess |
Add textures but to do that you have to make seams in it so that it gets applied evenly |
| 15:21 |
Phrynne |
thanks. |
| 15:23 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
One, our exhibit was accepted by SL.. Two I claimed our exhibit parcel this morning -- Stupendous 12. |
| 15:23 |
RainyDayRecess |
Yay! |
| 15:23 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The single piece movement scripting is done. I have a bit more to write for two pieces moving in sync. |
| 15:24 |
Lightweaver Balan |
when does SLB begin please? |
| 15:24 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Public opening 23 June. |
| 15:24 |
Lightweaver Balan |
thank you |
| 15:26 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Movements are based on 8 states, with allowed movements between certain states and the transition determines what moves. |
| 15:27 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
What I have to complete is the lockstep movement of the red and green pieces together. |
| 15:28 |
Ember (emberell) |
What are your end plans for it, if I may ask? |
| 15:29 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
This will be a two story build, although only the blue piece will have a first floor. |
| 15:29 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Rainy did you have a small build you can rez. |
| 15:30 |
RainyDayRecess |
Yes |
| 15:30 |
RainyDayRecess |
hold on... |
| 15:30 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It will be textured in a crystalline manner and then have information about crystals and about Oxbridge inside. |
| 15:30 |
Ember (emberell) |
Oh wow, I see! |
| 15:31 |
Ember (emberell) |
It looks like it'll be beautiful. |
| 15:31 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The scripted movement will be done manually at slack times. The SLB writeup warns against too much reliance on scripts. |
| 15:31 |
Azn Min (itoibo) |
very modern looking |
| 15:32 |
|
Ember (emberell) nods |
| 15:32 |
RainyDayRecess |
It turns into a square and back into a triangle |
| 15:32 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
On the triangular piece facing you, the bottom half is nothing. The top half will be behind glass and be an active room. |
| 15:33 |
RainyDayRecess |
I have the windows and doors off right now |
| 15:33 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The base width across is 22m, which leaves room to move the pieces and stay on the 32x32m parcel. |
| 15:35 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And the full reconfiguration takes the layout from a triangle into a square layout. |
| 15:35 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
What's known as the Haberdasher's Puzzle. |
| 15:35 |
Ember (emberell) |
That's so cool |
| 15:36 |
Ember (emberell) |
You guys are making great progress. |
| 15:36 |
RainyDayRecess |
Thanks ;) |
| 15:37 |
Azn Min (itoibo) |
nice octopus |
| 15:37 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And I just put up behind me the wall texture |
| 15:37 |
Gronk Seriman |
Why the emphasis on synchronous movement? It is elegant, but is it necessary? |
| 15:38 |
Azn Min (itoibo) |
i do not see anything moving :( |
| 15:38 |
Ember (emberell) |
that is an excellent texture |
| 15:38 |
RainyDayRecess |
It's not fully scripted yet Azn |
| 15:38 |
Azn Min (itoibo) |
ok |
| 15:38 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It's to keep the red and green pieces from wandering apart |
| 15:38 |
Gronk Seriman |
Ah. |
| 15:39 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Because one of the movements requires them to upswing together as one piece. |
| 15:39 |
Gronk Seriman |
Just a simple hinge doesn't exist, you have to script the entire movement? |
| 15:39 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Oh, I can move part of it now |
| 15:40 |
RainyDayRecess |
Ohhhhhh, that's real nice Word |
| 15:40 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
that just swung the yellow piece up. |
| 15:40 |
Azn Min (itoibo) |
nice! |
| 15:40 |
RainyDayRecess |
then the green and red swing up together to complete the square |
| 15:40 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And the red piece by itself. |
| 15:41 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
To get to the square layout, the green and red pieces now have to upswing together as one piece. |
| 15:42 |
RainyDayRecess |
Very nice work Word |
| 15:42 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
brought the yellow piece back down leaving the red piece up. |
| 15:42 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And finally, for now. |
| 15:43 |
Azn Min (itoibo) |
tada!! |
| 15:44 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The two piece movement just requires more communication. Green piece: step. Red piece: stepped, ......rinse and repeat. |
| 15:45 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
That rotation is around the outside right point of the blue piece. |
| 15:46 |
Ember (emberell) |
Will it be possible to walk between the rooms in both Triangle and Square shape? |
| 15:46 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And the material on crystals can include both refractive effects, use of crystals as radio receivers, as piezo-electric transducers (electric current to vibration or pressure to electric current). |
| 15:47 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Yes. Rainy has checked that the doors match up. |
| 15:47 |
Ember (emberell) |
I suspect a few people will be shocked to find the building move beneath them |
| 15:47 |
RainyDayRecess |
The doors do match up, but are we going to have the windows phantom? |
| 15:48 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I was thinking with some of them -- so your having them as separate objects is useful. |
| 15:48 |
RainyDayRecess |
That would make it easy to walk around when it's a square |
| 15:48 |
RainyDayRecess |
K |
| 15:48 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
More like shimmering force curtains. |
| 15:48 |
RainyDayRecess |
It's a nice large house when it's a square |
| 15:49 |
Ember (emberell) |
Is there any danger of falling out while it moves? |
| 15:49 |
RainyDayRecess |
or getting squished? |
| 15:49 |
Ember (emberell) |
Or that |
| 15:49 |
RainyDayRecess |
:D |
| 15:49 |
Ember (emberell) |
I mean, I usually have to worry about not laying on people |
| 15:49 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I'll likely only move it when empty or put out a warning to please take a seat. |
| 15:49 |
|
Azn Min (itoibo) wonders about sitting on it and walking around using controls in a script :() |
| 15:50 |
Ember (emberell) |
The warning is a good way to go |
| 15:50 |
Ember (emberell) |
Just in case. |
| 15:51 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And the state changer will end up in a wall control that only responds to the right people. |
| 15:51 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And, ... questions on anything else? |
| 15:52 |
Azn Min (itoibo) |
No questions |
| 15:52 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Gronk and Elf and Ember? |
| 15:53 |
Gronk Seriman |
No news at this time. |
| 15:53 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Still trying to host. Thursday 11 Slt. Same time, same place, still no bats of channels. |
| 15:53 |
Ember (emberell) |
Oh, no, no more questions at the moment |
| 15:53 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
*or |
| 15:54 |
Ember (emberell) |
The build is looking very good |
| 15:54 |
Azn Min (itoibo) |
yes |
| 15:54 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
As for the plaza: average amount of armed angels this week |
| 15:54 |
Azn Min (itoibo) |
very clever and cool |
| 15:55 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
ty. Rainy is being a huge help with doing the roofs, doors, windows. |
| 15:55 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
doors |
