Second Life and Virtual Worlds
Nalates Urriah Today I saw Blender has a new release out. I don’t see any changes, just a lot of bug fixes. But, the page is only current to an f5 build. This one is an f9 build. So, I doubt this version is much different than 2.70. If you are having Blender troubles definitely update.
I strongly recommend downloading and using the ZIP versions over the Install version. Once you unzip look inside the folder and find blender.exe. Right-click it and select pin to Task Bar and you are ready to rock.
In The Wash Fabulously Free is doing their Gachamaina. This is a place to landmark. The collection of free and cheap stuff from name designers is nice. The Carnival of Choas, you’ll have to look around for it, has more gachas stuff and is a well done build.
There seems to be a move toward selling mesh clothes cheaply, but without demo versions. It seems to be sort of a does it look interesting enough to be worth the gamble? I think merchants with demos and low conversion rates may be trying the idea of dropping price and demos to up income.
AvaStar is on RC version avastar-1-1-1052_blender-2-65.
Changes:
Blender: Using Brush Textures in Blender – This is a good texture painting with brushes based on textures.

If you are thinking of using Creative Commons textures as the video shows be sure to read: Linden Lab TOS and Creative Commons.
This last weekend was Easter Weekend, for Christians a big deal. Lots to do, family stuff, dress up, and eating good food. By tomorrow I’ll know how much of what I gained is water retention from salty foods. Ugh. But, it was yummy good and fun.
Second Life’s eleventh birthday is approaching. Ciaran Laval has an article up that is interesting and gives the details: Second Life’s 11th Birthday Plans Announced.
I’ve been around SL for 6+ years now. Wow.
The party is June 22-29.
You can’t! Want to see how bad it is? Watch the video. You only need to watch the first 5 minutes. The rest is all in the same trend.

Yeah, I forgot my password too. It never occurred to me that Linden Lab would not provide a way to recover a lost password. And obviously support was no help.
