U know that bit in Tron where he gets chopped up
Little bit quiet on the posts lately.
I been working on shoes yes still for the shoe fair .It’s not as straightforward as see shoe make shoe. I try to improve each element of what I make and to do this i have to keep learning new skills. It’s a messy process that takes me in unexpected directions. I spent an age trying to make a better bake. Baking is applying light and shadows etc to the plane texture. I had a look at both blender and 3ds max during this process and both kind of work differently to z-brush in that once set up they will back the light etc of from all angles all at the same time, which is kinda nice but I was at the i could spend the rest of my life learning these tools. http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/13974203 this is me trying to explain how to use zb and max together to bake. Ill come back to it I’m sure.
The other week i got an xbox ikr but i was reading that the kinect cam has been made to work on a pc, and a lil Google later I find that now an up and running motion capture solution letting me create animations in seconds that I can use in Secondlife , its amazing fairly simple and if id spent thousands on a mocap solution id prob be dangling from a rope by now, it’s that good.
Todays discovery is the Brekel software http://www.brekel.com/?page_id=155 will capture objects as 3d models see pik
Damn if we aint living in the future. All this stuff ill go into a little deeper and make some vids about. Speaking of vids I got to watch Siddean demonstrating her extreme sculpting prowess in ustream the master at work indeed. I learned a lot link here http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/13971892

We found out about you.
There’s a prog a device in sl u can buy lets u snoop at peoples ip address so u can hunt them down irl and make a suit from their skin.
That’s not true it takes at least 5 skins to make a suit. A good pair of boots however can use up to 7.
There is a device in second life that will allow people whose viewers are set to hear music like would be played in a sl club or who use the built in browser to store cookies. The ip address visible would take u as far as Manchester in my case. More or less its being used to flush out peoples alts under the guise of preventing copyboting. Either way I have thought about it and the vagueness of the ip address it can provide is subject to coincidence and likelihood to the amount that its utter crap in reality.
Why am I telling you this? Well I was passed a device that outs the sims using this device like its some huge wikileaks busting reveal. It won’t stop copybotters it won’t stop the endless paranoid ocean of internet sloshing about. The people with their online “who’s blocking me who’s on the map shit”. All you can do about that is get over it you can’t control the endless paranoia of other people.You can’t see what someone else is thinking.
Let it go Indiana
If you want to see what paranoia does for people go check out Sl Secrets on shopping cart disco. There all about me I’m fucking them all one by one and breaking there fragile little hearts.
On a lighter note we have$75 shoes in store by means of a Valentine’s Day treat I know im just a big softy

No raindrop believes its responsible for the flood
This stuff is full perm and not by the correct makers which makes it botted right i use to own most of the Armid hair.I tell the people their wearing nicked things that they should delete it.None of the makers i know are rich outta second life the best get by out of it.
So i call em on it and im a jerk, seems no ones hurt by botting no one looses any money from it and im just a dick for even saying anything.
Am i wrong to say anything. I work hard on what i make.Lamb and Armidi do 2 im sure.
i feel a bit sad deleting em i liked em.But id be angry and upset if it was done to me.But as sl is at the moment there's no come back, going after botters is like chasing ghosts in the machine.If u AR it it if your lucky will be purged front the servers.but its renamed and passed about.Makers cant afford to do anything legally so it happens and is tolerated.
And one by one designers become demotivated and leave.they cant pay the tier on their shops.it was fun and just about paid for itself.
I didn't know it was stolen? i told u and u don't care
no raindrop believes its responsible for the flood...
