A quick look at Lively

So like everyone else today who isn't on a Mac or Linux, I decided to try Google's Lively. There's a download, but it goes pretty quick.

There's no building, although the press says there will be options to create content. You can add music to a room, or link to youtube videos.

The emote system is delightfully simple; just right click on your avatar or someone else's to animate. No consent needed. So go ahead and body slam that fellow standing next to you!

The avatars are all prefab. I don't like that I can't edit my avatar by itself. Have to be in a room to do that.

Yadda yadda

I've been doing a lot, just not blogging much. Clothes, messing with physics and schooling code, a little exploring. Sometime soon I'll take more pics.

Tired. Vending errands are a pain.

Finished up my first mens' outfit for The Brass Needle, and I put a bunch of things I sell there up on SLExchange. I still haven't decided if I want to list my pet miniature squids / kraken or not.

Kraken!

Made a kraken (giant squid) avatar today. That's a picture of it cruising around New Babbage. I don't think I'll sell this one - it'd be too easy to grief people while wearing a 50M long avatar.

Dynamic shadows coming soon?

Torley's showing off dynamic shadows.

HOORAY

I HAVE INTERNET AGAIN!!!!!!

Been down since Friday evening.

Poodle Madness

The first avatar I sold in SL was a furry poodle avatar. Got sent some links today on RL "creative grooming" for poodles. You have to see to believe it.

Think you can do better?
