Questions and Frusterations

Ilan Tochner:
I didn't about the word free. I was just trying to find the Welcome center I had no clue there was more than one.
Also can you explain why it says in my world/land area that I am -1 as far as time?

I am not student but I am learning but so I don't think I qualify for educational version of Maya which is free from what I've read.
I remember trying to get years ago for free but it was major pain.
I have tried to learn blender for years.
My primary thing is doodles. I want to make doodle world filled with doodle trees and garden.
I do clothing, fabrics, textures and outsider based art illustrations I don't do photo realism and I have never been pro I just do stuff for fun and for learning.
And I tend to make stuff for men or males, who more into "sissy" wear versus the traditional "butch" wear. LOL
But the crotches in sl based male avatars has been major thorn in my side.
I would love create some more stuff and have resources to create freebies.
Here is example something old
http://unrezzeddoodler.blogspot.com/200 ... -host.html

And more recent but old stuff I have done is at http://dagondoodling.blogspot.com/
I took a long break just getting back. Right now I am trying to teach out how to do texture mapping on prims to create
low prim spaces.
The problem I am facing with meshes in sl is even if its 1 prim object that was based 20 prim object I have change through mesh studio most places won't let me rezz the object.
I wish there was sos version of mesh studio. It would make things lot easier for me.


Minethere Always: yeah I have totally unrezzed days. My first sl avatar comes from beta period of 2003. And I joke I am oldest newbie content creator because there always seems to be people who create that is so complicated I can't even compete.

That's understandable

Just FYI, people can call their worlds whatever name they want as long as that name complies with our terms of service. That's why it's important to look at the identity of the world's world manager to make sure that you're entering the world that you intend to visit. The world manager name is displayed below the Enter World button and in the world page's URL.

I stopped by your place it was beautiful. Its great to place to sit and have animations too:)
I tried out some of skins and clothes. They were pretty nice. Only skin I seem to have come up with recently is old one I did that is pretty bad shape. LOL

Thank you Dagon.

The Kitely Welcome center was a community project where many Kitely users got together to create a new welcome center to replace the previous community-built world. See: http://www.kitely.com/virtual-world-new ... me-center/

The avatars provided in the Avatar area of that world are from the Linda Kellie freebie collection.

Well I still can't get imprudence to work for me but I did find a browser to work. I only really wanted to try the imprudence one the import/export feature. I was hoping it would work in Second Life to back up my art and stuff I have done over the last 8 years that I could use in SOAS or here.
But I couldn't even log in with it today in Second life when I was able to earlier. I got sorts of error message about login, still can't use it for here either but the version I had the ablity to enter grid information.
I figured out how to put sound in my land too.
I am still having weird occasional building glitches but not as bad as earlier.
Glitches meaning object not wanting to move or be copied.
I do have some questions like what are OARS? And how do I make them and use them here or else where?

Also I have question about sharing content.
I am texture artist if I want to make things to share for no charge how do I start doing that?
The textures are bit unique that is why I don't want charge for them.
I make hand drawn rooms, trees and plants.
I am experimenting with some advance stuff with like very complex 3D ish look rooms in hollow cubes and I would like to expand to do this in cylinders.
I also make hand drawn fabrics and some clothes.
Still struggling with skins but I am working on that.
Mainly I just do very non-professional/non-photo realistic looking illustrations for fun.
I notice lot of people charge in the market. I would like to share the stuff I made for free for a while for free is this possible?
Also if I get the unlimited membership or another subscription level can I have a few of my Second life friends come by who are new and most likely will be on free level visit without being charged or have time restrictions?
Will they be able to build, script and help with animations on my land?

Lots of questions, and I will give you some answers, though I am sure others will add more later.

I just woke up, to early, with little coffee yet, so please forgive me if I seem unclear in some regards...lol

I have not logged into sl in some time now, but impy does work in opensim still, though it is getting very dated. They had, a few months ago, released a new version, that maybe you do not have, and had said they might do more work on it, such as meshes, but nothing since that I know of, here it is:

http://wiki.kokuaviewer.org/wiki/Downloads

I use, but not so much anymore, this Imprudence 1.4.0 exp 1 (May 26 2013 00:16:48)

Mostly I use Astra now: https://github.com/aurora-sim/AstraViewer/downloads or see Sarge's page on viewers: http://excelsior-station.wikidot.com/mi ... iewers-miv

I think there are better viewers but I can't run some and others I have not tried yet.

Oars are this: http://opensimulator.org/wiki/OpenSim_Archives

It is a complicated but cool thing to take some time to learn, and Kitely is the only commercial grid allowing it's customers to use them. Basically, you can create your region, with all you have in it, and export it to your own computer, and back it up to something like google drive if you wish.

Everything you created or that has the Kitely export flag in it will save [or is full perm I think..but maybe not if you are not the creator]. So, for example, you can save various versions of region builds [to save ongoing work], or various styles of regions, and then import them when desired.

You can also go further, and I recommend learning this also, and get your own soas installed on your computer, created regions there, and import them. This gives you several things, one of which is another backup. You can also merge OARs of your own or with friends and associates.

You will also see what OS grid owners see, the "console" and learn some of the inner workings of opensim.

Ener does these for us who do not know how to compile, like me...lol

As to sharing, they do not offer a free option on the MP yet [or maybe never?] but you can put content on your region[s] and just offer it for "copy by anyone" if you want to.

You can group your land and give others various authorities, just as you can in SL, or add them as estate managers, so they can work on them.

May I ask what your mother tongue is? Maybe we can get someone to help you in that language also.

I already have sim on a stick installed. And I have been using not imprudence but another program by the same people Kokua
I have only spoken English all my life but I am coma survivor with few long lasting health issues that sometimes cause this weird brain hiccup when I write. I lose words.
Do I write that bad that you can't understand my English?
Ugh:(

awww hun, so sorry to hear that....I was only trying to be helpful, and simply thought english was not your first language is all.

No, you're fine, of course.

[Dagon Xanith]

No problem. No offense taken.
I just often hear often that other people think about my writing sounding like I am not native English speaker a bit too much.
Not sure why. I figure my writing is crappy or something.
Oh well perhaps no writing career for me. LOL

[Constance Peregrine]

hehehe...no writing career for me either, but for a different reason-)))

thank you-))
