What's this? What's happening? What's going on?
I ain't gonna lie, I have mixed feelings about the whole PBR materials thing. For those of you who haven't been in Seconde Life™ in a while, PBR stands for “Physically Based Rendering” and bringing PBR to Second Life means updating the basic calculations of how light is represented and interacts with our favourite virtual...

Just as in real life, people come and go in Second Life™ (says the man who's been with his current employer since 1999). The Clef De Peau creator fell out of love with SL and went looking for alternative creative outlets and closed down their store. That leaves me with a couple of shapes that... Continue Reading →
Of course I love updates in Second Life™. How often does it happen in real life that you get a newer version of something you purchased earlier, at no extra cost? Obviously that wouldn't work in our current economic system, which depends on things breaking down as soon as possible without raising too much suspicion,... Continue Reading →
In real life my mind often drifts off to a before and after situation. I broke my shoulder around the middle of January and a rather complicated fracture had to be corrected with a rather complicated surgery, called a reverse shoulder replacement. While I will be getting better and gradually gain back mobility in my... Continue Reading →
A while ago I was popping on the Legacy body and got a notification that an update was available. Naturally I went "yes please" and practically body-slammed that "accept" button. Meshbody claims that in response to requests by the Meshbody Community, the 1.5 version provides new chat commands, nail appliers, improved applier scripts, as well... Continue Reading →
OK, let's talk Signature. Regular visitor will have noticed that I've switched to a different template for my blog. Now each blog post is on an individual "card" on the homepage. This template needs a designated feature image for each post and I opted to do this manually by choosing the most suitable images. In... Continue Reading →
We have now reached the confusing in-between days of the holiday season. Many people are having some time off, but aren't exactly sure what to do with it. Those that are working between Christmas and New Year's eve might be working on a little project that needed to be taken care off, but are lacking... Continue Reading →
Near the end of August Belleza finally got round to updating their mesh bodies to what is now the 3.0 version. There was no automatic redelivery and as I don't always keep my ear to the ground (it's such an awkward position) I only found out about it a couple of weeks into September. Oh... Continue Reading →
How many of you look back at their start in Second Life and find it hard to believe that so much time has gone by. I don't keep a close eye on my rezz day, heck I've even forgotten my real life birthday once or twice. I know it's getting near though. June 17th 2016.... Continue Reading →
I just collected the update of the Akeruka Advanced M01 male mesh head. The current version is 3.5 and I never picked up the version that came in between this one and the first one. I guess there have been some subtle changes to the rigging, which explains why my shapes for it are looking... Continue Reading →
