More Ebbe Altberg from 2018 VWBPE

by

There is a video of Ebbe at the Virtual Worlds Best Practices in Education conference. Daniel Voyager posted it and I picked it up from his site.

There is about 4 minutes and 20 seconds of a test pattern at the beginning. I’ve started the video 4:20 in. So, you only have a couple of seconds of it.

If leave the display of the video on mid-size display you see the live chat recorded scroll in the window to the right. Different links will display the chat differently. I thought this was the better one.

The location and computer rendering of the scene both suck. Sad. This looks like something from 10 years ago. The audio has apparently not been edited. So, you’ll have some volume issues but it is OK.

Ebbe Altberg & Third-Party Dev Meeting

by

I wanted to sit in on this week’s Third-Party Developers’ meeting. I wanted some footage of the meeting to use as an opening for my summary of the meeting. I was late. Seems to be a pattern. But, I was planning to use Pantera Północy’s video of the meeting. It comes out Saturday morning. I … Read more

Integrated Animation Overriders … A what?

by

Mesh Body Addicts posted about Vista Animations (VA) new Bento Head animations. The post content is actually within in a video (vlog), Vista Diana & Lia.

The explanation she gives of the existing onion-skin animations used before Bento is not wrong, but most of the techies will disagree with it. If you are not into the tech, it is good enough to get you by. Besides, Animesh and Bakes-On are coming and likely to change much of this anyway.

The word in the video is there is a Bento Full Body AO coming. As it is now I have an AO for my body, the stands, sits, walks, etc. I have another for my new mesh head. And another for my hands. I am assuming VA is combining body, hands, and head into one AO. Jump to time mark 18:00± to get an idea of what the coming AO will look like in operation.

OpenCollar Peanuts

by

It is really awkward trying to talk about OpenCollar and be clear on which OpenCollar version is being talked about.  So, I call the one I am talking about Wendy’s OpenCollar (WOC) or Peanut (POC). The other OC scripts, Nirea and Athaliah branch, are OC 7.x names.

The reason I am trying to be clear is an update has come out, Peanut 9. So, getting the right update for your items is important. You have to know which you need.

I subscribe to both OC channels, OpenCollar and Fire Flower. One channel will tell you about OC v7.1 and avoid referring to Wendy’s Peanut version as OC. If you say OC, they treat it as if you could only be talking about the Nirea and Athaliah branch OC.

The plain WOC stuff is mostly free, so redelivery is not really necessary. Plain WOC is basically the scripts and some very basic collars and cuffs. The pretty stuff worn by the hot kinky women is usually custom-made stuff like the things Virtual Disgrace and others sell. Those need to be redelivered on occasion.

So, the vending system providing redelivery just changed, this month. The one used for Wendy’s ‘retail’ items has changed to Casper.
