Yay! Avatar Persistence Across Reboots and Relogs

Posted on August 21, 2008 by Shenlei | 4 Comments

OK, I’m not sure at what revision this happened, or who contributed the patch to do it….but last night, I logged in after working in OpenSim a bit in the morning…and discovered my prim hair still firmly attached to my head! In a state of disbelief, I logged out and back in, to see if it was a fluke. No, there was my hair, on my head, correctly placed.

Unconvinced, we rebuilt the region with the newest version of OpenSim code…I logged in…and there…was…my….prim…hair. Attached. Correctly. On my head.

Needless to say, this made me feel impossibly perky, since I can now proceed with the otherwise daunting task of attaching and adjusting all my other things like skirts, and jewelry, and shoes, and and and…

Behold: Hair. Jewelry. Sunglasses. Flexi Skirt. Yay!

Fashion Runway in Shengri La Hope

Posted on August 20, 2008 by Shenlei | Comments Off

Are you a new designer or a designer who enjoys designing just for the pleasure of designing? Do you want a beautiful environment with a fully functional catwalk system, in which to show off your work?

The Fashion Research Institute has deployed a completely scripted fashion catwalk in the Second Life (TM) sim Shengri La Hope. The location features two fully functional runways with scripted poseballs loaded with popular modeling poses and a runway walk, and scripted spotlights that follow the model as she walks the runway. Draped canopies and curtains feature a range of draperies from which to choose.

All Grid citizens are welcome to use the runway free of charge on a first come, first served basis. Individual designers may reserve the runway in advance, and full estate management is available with 2 weeks advance notice, and depends on estate manager availability. Estate management includes security, media stream change, estate setting changes, and privacy controls.

Visit Shengri La Hope and pick up a copy of our runway show manual and rules to use the Fashion Research Institute, Inc. catwalk.

Our thanks to Chelsie Goodliffe and Ravenn Darkstone for modelling on the runways of the catwalk.

Brief Peek Inside Shengri La OpenSim 9-sim Region

Just a few images of the newest project…some castles, a bridge and nature scenes. I’ve been learning to script things, thanks to Script Wizard Dale’s patience. I even managed to make a particle garden work, and petals float on the wind from my weeping cherry trees!
