As we say goodbye to September, and greet the crisp breeze of October, it’s only natural that Residents have pumpkins, fall leaves, and things that go bump in the night on their minds. There’s been more Haunted and Halloween-themed dens submitted to the Destination Guide than you can shake a cinnamon stick at. Please submit your Halloween spots to our Destination Guide so that we all can find lots of haunts to visit over the next month!

In addition to the cornucopia of events, destinations and parties, we are brewing up some Samhain shenanigans here at the Lab, and we need your help! Take a look at this blog and join in the fun, if you can!

Don’t forget to share your photographic adventures to the official Second Life Flickr . Right now we’re looking for Halloween-themed images to use in a marketing campaign. Find out more about that here.

A Review of Nabrej Aabye's latest exhibition "Itineraries" - Triuzla reporting.

[ad_1]

A Review of Nabrej Aabye's latest exhibition "Itineraries" - Triuzla reporting.

Sometimes while wandering through virtual art galleries it can bring about unexpected and priceless experiences. A visit to Crossroads Gallery can be one of such bargains for travelers seeking new discoveries in SL.

The paintings presented at the “Itineraries” exhibition at Crossroads Gallery are intriguing and thought provoking. Don’t resist the temptation to explore the whole building.

Nabrej AAbye is a mysterious creator living in Tunisia. Since 2007, he as been involved with art and builder in Second Life. You can visit his art studio where you can buy even more beautiful pieces of art, which are not included in the current exhibit. The artist shares his inspiration by incorporating real life scenes as subjects in transition to second life in its diverse form. Truly, the blend of two realities causes controversial and disturbing feelings of dynamic and emotions, hidden deep in ones’ sub consciousness.

The use of bright colors influences the whole specter of thoughts and provokes tough inner response. Nevertheless, there’s no doubt that the pictures can be stared for a long time, delving into the virtual dialog with the creator.

What did he mean by adding this or that layer? Did he wish us to meditate on his artworks or take immediate action? Questions emerge all the time.

I can’t say that the theme of revolutionary changes is the guiding idea of Nabrej’s works. In his native country he has experienced these dramatic events, turbulence and rigorous vibes which can be perceived through the contemplation on his works.

True features of talent is his ability to transform hard experiences into optimistic, mature sated works, setting peace and wisdom in the viewer’s soul.

“La Marche” can make one stand motionless. The artwork contains numerous female dark silhouettes, hurrying on somewhere (on execution, as artist explained in a private talk). However there’s one bright white young representative of this mass, which totally differs and can become the agent of changes.

It is perceived as a bright hope depicted in a playful form. The pureness and open-warmheartedness permeates the air around all pieces of Nabrej’s art.

For example, “Avatars” is a piece that stimulates imagination with its intriguing layering effect. Watching this picture for a long time you can imagine an abstract idea.

Despite this fact one can feel a strong connection with their own adventures in SL.

On the one hand, art should actually cause such an effect. On the other hand, Kerouak’s quote on the floor sets the whole mood of the perception and makes it clear what the creator was trying to tell us.

Open Source Version of TiltBrush VR App for the Web

A-Painter is basically an open source, web-based version of TiltBrush, still the best VR app I've ever experience, running on the open source A-Frame I wrote about last year.

Facebook 360 Photos Make Virtual World Photos Come Alive in Your Smartphone

360 SL Images

This is lots of fun -- click this link from your smartphone, and assuming you have the Facebook app pre-installed, it should take you to a 360 panoramic pic shot in Second Life by Erythro Asimov. The cool part is when you rotate your phone around you, so does the image -- making a virtual world screenshot seem even more like a window into another reality.

How's this work?

[ad_1]

[Image: JO9nsn6.jpg] [Image: vhKs6FO.jpg]

Here we go again, another upload from me this time its a Halter Top from ASTERIA. This upload is NOT the entire fatpack but includes 3/6 of the colors available. I crossed out the colors that are NOT in this pack on the picture above. These meshes are all rigged and weighed!

Contents;
Mesh Top (5 Sizes) (3Colors, Black|Coral|Toupe)
Alpha Layer

### GENERAL TIPS ##

1. You'll save yourself texture upload fees if you copy the texture UUID ( filenames ) and import it using the Darkstorm Key tool.

2. Do not forget to check "Include skin weights" in the mesh uploader options.

3. I included the alpha with this release as it was originally created for classic avatars. Import as a wearable.

Survey: Have You Signed Linden Lab's Sansar NDA?

[ad_1]

Survey: Have You Signed Linden Lab's Sansar NDA?

Since asking SL brand owners about their plans (if any) to move to Sansar has turned up scant feedback, here's a new survey that gets us down to virtual brass tacks -- finding out how many people reading this blog or seeing it in my social media channels have even signed the Sansar NDA.

Presumably, while the Sansar NDA forbids signees from saying what they've seen in Sansar, it shouldn't bar signees from saying that they've signed it to see Sansar. (If you see what I'm saying.) So if you have, please say so in this survey soon.

TO MESH OR NOT TO MESH Part 2 -MESH HEADS - Dean Lawson Reporting

[ad_1]

TO MESH OR NOT TO MESH Part 2 -MESH HEADS - Dean Lawson Reporting

If, in your journey through Second Life, you encounter a severed head floating through the air it may be poor Yorick, or at least his ghost, but more likely, it is a mesh head whose body has yet to rez. In a previous article I asked Second Life Residents to discuss the pros and cons of using a mesh body, this time we discussed the heads.

In an interview with Ilsa Hesse-Heron (ilsa.hesse), Ilsa replied : “for some reason, and I can’t really tell you why, I love mesh bodies, feet, hands, etc, but mesh heads kind of creep me out O.O. … maybe its that to begin with they all kind of looked the same … that, and they were all kind of emotionless...

Barry Smithson replied : LOL it’s funny you came up with this because me and my better half was at a venue and all we saw were mesh heads and no bodies.

When asked why she purchased a mesh head ღƧραиƘʏღ (bigcupofstfu) responded : my friends pressured me into it lol … I was not use to using a whole alpha system so that was confusing. Also the mesh takes longer to rez but it looks much better quality wise … the only downside I notice is the rezzing. It takes a while for me to see my own head and sometimes I have to relog so other people can see it. Other than that I have no problems.

Blogger and Second Life photographer Barbara Mali had this to say on the subject : “pros, i think avies look much better and realistic, more proportioned, some of the animations are nice, also the blinking ... it is good to take pics … cons: you have to use another hud, some are complicated, i think we are losing our “identity” we all look in the same way now … i think they are working in new projects so you can modify them so they can be personalized, now there are many options and models, trying demos is a nightmare, there are appliers and so many add ons, it is insane … another con, they are expensive

https://freebieaddiction.wordpress.com/

Mesh Builder Lakota Valkai had many insightful comments on the subject : I am a fan of mesh, but i will also say it can be a pain in the ass for the new and inexperienced to work and deal with … inexperienced users have trouble with mesh sometimes due to whats known as “rigging” ... rigging either will, or will not permit you to modify an objects size and proportions ... With clothing, modification is almost always necessary … and if its "Rigged" then you cant alter its size … the realism with mesh is more easily attained … But mesh is expensive because of the time involved in creating it

SL Artist and Machinima producer Ozymandius King replied : Mesh is great for photography and machinima but I think the next step is to start creating mesh heads that the user can customize, not just the color of the skin and the hair, but the cheek bones, the nose, the brow the lips etc. As of the moment I prefer to use older system human heads over mesh because I can change the expression and manipulate the facial features to create a unique avatar which is important for visually telling a story.

Palmer Luckey's Plan to Give Poor Virtual Reality Gets Trump-Powered Viral Boost

[ad_1]

Palmer Luckey's Plan to Give Poor Virtual Reality Gets Trump-Powered Viral Boost

That's just....wow @jomc @slhamlet pic.twitter.com/UJlAMCo5gh

— Tim Maughan (@timmaughan) September 24, 2016

Thanks to author Joanne McNeil and journalist Tim Maughan, my Wired article excerpt highlighting Palmer Luckey's plan to give the world's poor a better (simulated) life through VR was shared last weekend by William Gibson, Clay Shirky, and a bunch of other heavy hitters. The funny (in a sadly ironic way) thing is, when it was actually published by Wired last February, it provoked scarce a murmur. Like everything nowadays, it only garnered interest when Trump got involved.

Some favorite Tweets on the topic below:

Oculus Rift Palmer Luckey Second Life

Lots of people in my mentions asking why I'm surprised at this, in face of Marx, sci-fi, decades of TV as distraction...

— Tim Maughan (@timmaughan) September 24, 2016

...the surprise is at hearing a start up CEO saying it openly as though it's his damn business model.

Erik Hurst agrees with Luckey's assessment that people in poorer real world circumstances switch to virtual worlds. https://t.co/3G3FzldTcT https://t.co/opc9wSqg7c

[ Blueberry ] - Melanie High Waist Capri Jeans Fatpack [RIGGED]

[ad_1]

[Image: abeT2iH.jpg]

Dropping these sweet looking jeans from Blueberry, its the entire fatpack. All the mesh are completely rigged and weighed! It comes with all the available colors as well as every mesh model(sizes)! This fatpack also comes with 5 unique textures only available via the fatpack edition.

This product comes in Maitreya Lara, TMP, Belleza Venus + Isis + Freya, Slink Physique + Hourglass

## Tips/Notes ##

There are 3 faces to apply textures to. The jeans have 2 faces, one for each leg for some reason, the third face is the buttons.

On SL you'll save yourself texture upload fees if you copy the texture UUID ( filenames ) and import it using the Darkstorm Key tool.

If you need the alpha layer u should go get the demo which includes it.
