Art that evokes the "I am here" moment

any other virtual worlds?

Hey,

Do you make art in any other virtual worlds other than SL?

Curious...

Here's a quick rundown of other worlds I tried and why they are not suitable for my work

There.com - You can make stuff but it's 10 US dollars to upload a t-shirt texture and I believe thats all you can upload is textures not 3D models

Lively - if it worked for me I would try to find out if you can make stuff or not. I don't think you can really, at the moment it's all locked off from the users and the only people can make stuff are companies who partner with google.

Twinty - Just sucks, no content creation at all. I think you can display "flat art" there but nothing you can actually build.

HiPiHi - I have tried to build stuff there but failed because it's really stupid the build system plus it's Chinese and lags like a mo-fo so bad.

To cut along story short Second Life for me at the moment wins!; ▶ Reply to This

There is an art place in second life that does some kinda art thing with wow Check it out here; ▶ Reply to This

I have garry's mod it's pretty good for doing ragdoll posing. I'm trying to build a giant robot at the moment made from the different models from half life 2 and team fortress 2.

Oh while we are on the subject of ragdoll posing *Geek Mode*

I know that the lindens are working on something simliar to the posing in garry's mod called avatar puppeteering since the source engine that runs half life2/garrys mod has havok 4 simliar to second life.; ▶ Reply to This

I knew the Lindens were asking people to come up with a default walk.; ▶ Reply to This

I call this "Engineer is credit to team" (the heavy guy says it after you use the teleporter); ▶ Reply to This
