• Bookfacing Your Second Life

  Miscellaneous
  I really don’t get the Lab’s Facebook fascination.
  In particular, the latest contest is rather odd. Firstly, why hold a photography contest at Facebook? Is this not why there’s an Official Flickr group for Second Life? Why not bring in Koinup or SLBuzz, which is specifically aimed at virtual world photography?
  And then there’s the fact that [...]

• Contracted Customs

  Miscellaneous
  Custom projects form a large part of what I do in Second Life, and I’ve learnt a lot of lessons along the way. Designing and building a sim in Second Life, in my eyes, is no different to designing a website for a client. It’s the same sort of process – aesthetics, functionality, ease of [...]

• Seperated at birth?

  Miscellaneous
  A picture recently went up on someone’s Flickr stream – it was a silhouetted picture, so you couldn’t see who it was, but apparently a lot of people assumed it was me. That aside, I find it interesting that I appear to have developed a style.
  I actually admit that I have very little [...]

• Is it ethical?

  Miscellaneous
  So lets say someone decides to replicate a build that someone else has made. For example, if someone who is relatively new to building wants to practice making the same sofa that I’m selling in my store?
  We well all have to learn somewhere, right? Looking at other people put things together is often a good [...]

• I did it first..!

  Miscellaneous
  I had to laugh, after reading an article recently about the “revolutionary” new product from Liquid Heat Designs, called Liquid Void. Liquid Void, for those that don’t know, claims to be able to create what is essentially a pre-fabricated sim, from a box. The first of its kind?
  Well, no – Luna Bliss has been doing [...]

  I’m also working on a side direction for this blog, which will be to post up Photoshop and building tutorials here, so keep an eye [...]
