The set of bones has changed to meet feedback from SL users. It isn’t all they want, but it is what can be done now.
Lifted [We are more than light]There was a neck-bone thing that users were on about. The problem is that adding bones within the chain of existing bones breaks legacy compatibility. An alternate option was figured out and added.
This got released Friday (2/5) and I didn’t catch it until today. The post is here: Drax World Makers Episode 36: Project Bento. There was a preview released Wednesday (2/3). I think after watching the two the plan changed at some point. Both are neat videos in their own right…
A Lab Chat meeting with Ebbe Altberg, Linden Lab CEO, was yesterdays (1/21) big event. We learned new things about Second Life™ and Project Sansar. We are starting to see reaction from a few to the new information.
Lab Chat – 2016-01-21
I am paraphrasing what I heard on the audio and I’ve shortened it. For some questions the answers were repeating what was said earlier. So, I’ve included time marks to you can easily find the actual statements in the audio stream. I have also expanded on what Ebbe says from what I believe is implied. Take that with however much salt you feel is appropriate.
With concurrent user count recently peaking at 57,000± and user group meeting attendance low I think it is fair to ask if people are losing interest in what’s happening in Second LifeTM. The answer is one of those things that is very subjective, because it is so difficult to get objective or complete information. So, most answers are opinion.
We see attendance at user group meetings at 10 to 25 people. Yet, we see 4 regions fill up for Firestorm meetings. The video above shows the casting call for Project Bento. About 10 people attended and 4 of use were bloggers or people managing the event.
January 19 at noon (SLT) is the Project Bento filming event casting call. It will be on Bento Island, ADITI (Preview Grid). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62hWZ4-dHeE Contact Draxtor Dupress as filming will start on the 20th. Provide him as much information about your creation for Project Bento as possible.
