A New Look for Shengri La OpenSim

January 30, 2009 · Comments Off

The very first thing that our visitors to our corporate OpenSim islands want to do is customize their avatar, if for no other reason than to get rid of default Ruth.  That can turn out to burn the clock, which is costly when we are actually trying to get substantive work accomplished.  To help reduce the delay, we have created a pair of new default avatars, Jane and John. 

Jane and John are both corporate avatars, with a gravitas appropriate to the work we are doing in our OpenSim islands.  Jane is a 40-something exec in a jacket and dress with very nice heels and an updo; John is a 40-something exec in a suit with prim captoe shoes and a corporate hair cut.  Both are appropriately dressed for a business meeting, and if visitors to Shengri La OpenSim feel a need to further embellish, they can find a range of corporate clothing and a change of hair styles already in their inventory.
