No Bento…

2016/10/31 by Nalates Urriah

Well… this week. There is no Bento meeting this Thursday. So, for a Bento fix, check some of the past announcements. These are a couple of videos I missed when initially released. And Aki has a wyvern in development. If you watch the Bento Meeting videos you have seen the wyvern. And the avatar wings … Read more

Project Bento Update 2016 w43

2016/10/28 by Nalates Urriah

Not much happening Project Bento Development; bug fixes, consideration of the legacy animation incompatibility… that is about it.

We get word that the Firestorm ‘beta’ viewer now in testing by the Firestorm testers is providing more information. I suspect the Lindens are watching to see how many legacy animation problems are reported. Actual discussion gives me the impression the Lindens are not happy with any of the work arounds they and others have come up with to resolve the problem. It looks to me like they will break the legacy content as there is likely fewer defective old animations than new Bento animations.

Second Life: How to USE SL 360 Images

2016/10/26 by Nalates Urriah

Oh my… what a mess. The current state of the Linden 360-viewer is for the geeky only. The instructions for setting up to display these images, via web or just on your local computer, is described in a Bitbucket thread: JS 360-snapshot-web-viewer and the SL Wiki.

No problem. Just install Python and set up a simple web server… As Ebbe has said, “Who the f**k installs servers?”

The instructions on both the sites assume you know about web servers and tech. But, all the needed parts are in Bitbucket.

Second Life: MS Translator Change Coming

2016/10/26 by Nalates Urriah

Microsoft has announced that their translation services are changing. The date is April 30, 2017. They will be changing to a new set of API’s they named Azure.

I have no idea how many, if any, SL Translators depend on the Microsoft API’s. But, those that do will need to change.

Second Life: Do I pop out of this dress?

2016/10/25 by Nalates Urriah

I am disappointed when I find a dress I like and there is no demo available. My buying habits are simple. If a clothing item costs more than L$50 and has no demo, I won’t buy it. I probably won’t buy any dress or blouse that costs less than L$50. If I violate those limits I find I am disappointed about 9 out of 10 times.

So, what do I do with those demos? Here is a video showing my basic process. Dress makers should consider this process. I use it when I test demos and when I make clothes. I figure stuff I make has to pass these tests. So, stuff I buy should pass them too.

The first dress is tight fitting camisole ‘sheath’ and has a sizable leg slit. It is tight fitting and that makes poke through VERY likely.

The dress works well with the upper body (TM: 0:30). It is possible to peak in and see a nipple. But, one has to work to get a peak. That works for me. I don’t want to be flashing everyone when just standing. But, if he is all that interested…
