The last days of Autumn

On the last day of Autumn I want to show you green /earth colored outfit. These are my colors. Casual yet chic. Love to wear turtlenecks instead of a jacket if it's not too cold. Loose fit jeans are my favorite in RL very well done by LeLutka. This hair is a stunner I wish I had that much hair in RL haha. Kiss Autumn goodbye, winter comes.

Such a cool shot. Very The Matrix.

How to Take a High Res Snap Shot

Date Posted: November 28, 2009
Author: Luna Jubilee
Syndicated from: Blog Boot Camp
Filed Under: MV-SL-Tutorials

Have you noticed that your photos aren’t as “smooth” as others? Do you see jagged edges on avatars and objects in your photos? It might be due to the low resolution of your photographs.

“GAH! What’s Resolution?”, you my ask. Its the level of detail and/or pixels. The higher the detail and pixels the better the photo. You will want to take the biggest photo possible.

High-res Snapshot

It’s under the ‘Client’ menu and when you have a ‘X’ in front of it, it’s activated. It’s only useful if you use the ‘Snapshot to Disk’ function because you can change the resolution settings manually in the Take Snapshot option window. Normally if you take a ‘Snapshot to Disk’, it has the same resolution

Over the last three years in SL, I’ve come across a lot of tips and tricks related to blogging, photoshop, and SL. Problem is, I’d find the tutorials and forget them, and I’d have a lot of trouble finding them again when I actually needed them. So I finally decided to do something about it and keep an archive so expect links to guides, tutorials, and videos as well.

If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to let me, Luna Jubilee, know via a notecard with the URL and details.

Opensource Obscure ~ Forum Second Life Italia 1/4

The cuteness, it blinds!

 

Sapphire Etchegaray ~ Jewel

Stunning avatar shot.

This is a wonderfully exotic image, with gorgeous sky and reflection effects.

[QUICKTIP] Getting an attachment out of your body (really)

“Doctor doctor, I’ve got prims stuck in me and I can’t get them out!” While not the same terrifying magnitude as a chestburster, here’s a common problem: you’re positioning an attachment but, whups, it slides into your avatar and you accidentally exit Edit mode, rendering you frustrated.

Don’t panic! In this perky video tutorial, I’ll show you how to angle your camera so you can extract that attachment and get it back to where it needs to go.

Find the camera too confusing? There’s another way: reset an attachment’s slot! How the heck do you do that? Well, why don’t

flickr-logo[1]

Snapzilla has had support for sending images to Flickr for several years, using Flickr's email functionality. However, one limitation of this method is that it does not allow any formatting in the description, so no HTML can be included.

Several users have requested the ability to add a SLURL link to the end of their description on Flickr. To enable this functionality, along with the ability to pass formatting from Snapzilla to Flickr, I have begun implementing the more advanced Flickr API.

I love this avatar shot. Great sense of style. The whole thing is very glamorous. It is nice to see an avatar with some curves instead of the ridiculous slider settings you normally see.

I guess I have an avatar motif going today. I love the dichotomy of the pierced and tattooed avatar with the cuteness overload.

This is definitely a great wtf moment seen only in SL.


[BUILDING] Makin’ copies… (1) Shift-drag and (2) Copy selected

Syndicated from: Second Life Blogs : Blog List - TNT - Second Life Tips & Tricks

There are a number of ways to copy objects you create or have the rights to in Second Life. This speeds up the process of building with similar parts, like walls, roads, and when you need to create variations. For example, copy a tree and alter each one's branches to appear different.

And to be preemptive about it, yes, RESPECT OTHER RESIDENTS' INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. DON'T BE A JERK!

I'm sad to say that although two of the more useful ways to copy objects have existed for years, they're not immediately obvious. (Something we hope to rectify in the future, yeah.) Infact, I learned both of these from more experienced builders, who had the knowledge passed on to

The futuristic Deshima sim has been the source for some incredible images on Snapzilla, including the image above entitled Swim by Prandi Capalini. He did a whole series in the album ABSTRACT FROM DESHIMA. The images remind me almost of some crazy futuristic cross between Battlestar Galactica and a Kandinsky painting. I love the images so much I am inspired to go explore the sim. Several other people have sent in some great images from Deshima. I would definitely love to see more. If anyone knows more information about this sim, please leave a comment.

One then-new Linden remarked to me,

"Second Life is different from my previous game development job, because there's no single launch party – it's ongoing."

I thought that was a particularly apt way to sum our ever-changing landscape. While it's true conventional software has patches and new versions, in SL, an incredible array of stuff is incrementally improved by Lindens and Residents. That's why despite the big announcements we make about hot bug fixes and cool new features, so much happens on a day-to-day, hour-to-hour, minute-to-minute basis that can't easily be understood unless you're part of it. (Something Heisenbergian going on here.) For instance, the decisions that lead to issue resolutions are often discussed openly on our
