Amina Diavolo: The woman totally pisses me off! I need hardly elaborate as to why that is, right?

More shots of the power plant and Cappadocia. I have added a series of hamster wheels which I did do some work on first: Lifitng the wheels out of their cages and adding some color and shine really helped integrate them into the plant I think. Also added are some gothic thorn bushes from the Heart Gardening Center, which I have sunk into big concrete planters. I have decided long ago that plants sunk into SL soil just don't do it for me. And I have added the rain, huge thunderstorms in fact. This has all been taken with windlight and I love the way you get a mixture of sun and rain in some of these. It has proven to be almost impossible to capture the lightning on these shots, but if you actually go there you will see that it is lightning and thundering like crazy...
There are many repeat shots here where the only difference is the windlight settings. I am uploading them anyway since it may interest people to see how big the difference is.

Making an outfit out of the jellyfish which I made for Syncretia was actually one of the very first things that I had in mind when I started making skins and apparel. It is now Alpho, our hybrid creatures specialist, who has undertaken this.
Men and women get the skins, the jellyfish "skirts", tendril spines and cheeks, a nice little skullcap and tendril shoes.

I found these buried somewhere in my hard drive. I have given some thought as to why the newbie avatar is so undescribably ugly and have finally come to the conclusion that this is in all likelihood a deliberate strategy to bolster metaverse economy. You look so dreadful that you scramble to lay your hands on some lollies and make it to the nearest skin shop before you even take a breather.
The shape is actually pretty much the same as it is today: The minute I walked into Orientation Island I screamed "Where's the appearance tab?" (hhhhhhh). I knew my way around Poser quite well, so it took me about 10 minutes to create the shape that I still have today. I scrambled out of that dreadful lilac t shirt and those gray flipflops pretty swiftly too I must say, made me a stretch black jumpsuit and boots pronto pronto. The hair was the biggest challenge: I was most certainly not going to wander around with that brown cardboard contraption that Linden Labs deems fit to bestow noob avatars with! It took me a while (like 2 hours once on the mainland? - hhhh) to cotton on to "flexi hair" and a bit more to land in the first freebie paradise where they were giving some away. But until then I made a close fitting crop, and this too I still use as a base for all the flexi stuff. But the skin... Let us please not even go into that: Unbaked bread loaf maybe?
I was not going to put these on Flickr but Hack challenged me into it earlier this evening: "Feigling!" he said. So, here they are for tout le monde to see...
;-)
Male/Female skins and attachments. There is a particle attachment on the spine, however, one really has to see it in action to get the effect.

Best in White party, a Bee Gees celebration, was held at Two Moon Gardens in Second Life on Wednesday 4th February from 2pm to 4pm SLT / 10pm to midnight UK time with British voice DJ Anjoux Herbit and hostess Tori Landau.
The reflective surfaces are not textures!
Mumixer had pointed me in the direction of Devil's Moon a few weeks ago but with one thing and another I only made it out there today - and fell flat on my face so to speak: I was always under the impression that reflections and reflectivity is beyond the scope of present day real time render. So, how on earth did they achieve this? And why does it create no lag whatsoever? I took a lot of screenshots, some from the exact same location at slight angle variations since I want my computer scientist colleague, Selim to take a look at these and tell me what the hell is going on here...
Beautiful SIM too btw, but quite frankly the technology had me so gobsmacked that I couldn't really take much else in. Will go back for sure.
6 hours later:
ahum... Mossy put me wise: It is an extremely clever design trick: They did the entire architecture twice, one being the perpendicular mirror image of the other and then interleaved it with those transparent textures.
jeez... am i embarrassed or what?

Soon there will be a retrospective exhibition of Roy Ascott's work at the Plymouth Arts Centre in the UK.
Part of what is planned in terms of activities surrounding the event involves young artists from Plymouth to engage in creative activity (based upon Roy's educational methodology, the Groundcourse) in SL. Their meeting/building area will be this 80 x 80 x 80 meter floating sphere which I rezed at Syncretia
can be now viewed here: ruyschavatars.tumblr.com/
(There will be more episodes added to the 3 that seem to be more or less done at the moment.)
And you can read more about what this is all in aid of here:

This very ambitious virtual architecture project is being developed by 2 of our students Bulut Sakçak and Fethi Özdol.
A vastly scaled down version rezzed in a sandbox, this building generates itself depending upon its usage at the time and the number of its users... Modules generate themselves above and to the sides of the spiral construct, which is in a perpetual state of slow rotation btw, depending on user numbers and need. Crowded days will see a much larger building, quiet days a smaller one...
I logged in for a second just now, realized halfway there that I had to get out ASAP because the computer was actually doing a scheduled virus scan and so I really had no CPU left over for running around in SL. However, just as I was loging off, I received this (a flower emitter staff) from Truthseeker. And as it happens, only yesterday I had bought this hair from MAU's & MEJ's. So, I am not sure if Truthseeker and Sunnivah Jiutai are in cahoots here or what, but I really could not resist shooting these together. Not good photos - like I said it was a real rush job, but simply too color co-ordinatedly accessorized a look to resist documentation I thought...

This is actually a really old outfit which I completely retextured and added countless attachements to. It is unisex, has male/female skins, skirts for both, capes - one simple the other one more ornate, no less than 4 variations on the necklace (got a tad carried away there - hhh), torso, arm and leg ornaments, boots for boyz and gurlz, and a mohawk of course.

The University of Bedfordia is an extensively developed island, with only a slight change from it's real world name.
The famous Replicator avatar of Grendel's Children. I did not use one in its entirety but assembled the elements of several of them around Alpha; since in their original state these avatars diverge too far from the human and would probably fall outside the Uncanny Valley's threshold.
In this first trial shoot I am using Loli Nori's really amazing charcoal "Drow" skin, which she (for some reason best known to her alone) is giving away as a freebie at the Bare Rose Mall. This skin is simply the best skin that I have seen anywhere in Second Life. Sadly, I do not use it on a regular basis since the dark tone sort of stops Alpha from being the "look alike" avatar that I prefer her to be. I am not too sure that this skin will actually get Alpha into the range of the Valley's threshold since it is actually very "humanly" expressive. It is why it is such a gorgeous skin in the first place...
