    in Machinima Forum

    Posted

    Here is my Fantasy Faire walk through video. This is the 7th year I have filmed myself walking through every region of the faire in a big circle. I hope you like it!

    Here is a film of my annual walk through every region of Fantasy Faire in Second Life.

    Christmas Tech

    in Machinima Forum

    Posted

    I made a new animation/machinima for Christmas holiday season.

    It is a story about enjoying Christmas in virtual worlds from a hospital bed using virtual reality glasses with AI augmentation.

    Location scenes were filmed in Second Life at:
    - Blue Finch Frosty Hollow (Pottery Hollow)
    - Winter Ice Christmas Fest 2023 (Rebel Yell Concerts)
    - Bad Santa -:oxygen: (Oxygen O2)

    I hope you like it.

    I'd like to share my new film with you. 
    It is a Blender animation featuring machinima from 3 regions in Second Life.
    These are Somewhere by Cica Ghost, which is unfortunately no longer there, Cica builds lots of lovely places but they generally only last a few weeks.
    There is Echo Ridge (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Amaria/114/49/21) which is a really beautiful winter sim.
    And finally InSilico (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/INSILICO/33/182/522) a wonderful cyberpunk world.

    I also run Windows 11, no issues here while using the newest viewer. Please make sure that after manual removal (through the add/remove in Control Panel/Settings) you do not have any leftovers in the installation directory, in Program Files - it needs to be empty. After making sure of that you can install a fresh copy of the FS executables.

    This is how I reinstalled. The JIRA reference does appear to descible my problem, I'll go though it all carefully, thanks

    In a "real" original, old fairy tale I would expect the necklace to be made of human teeth, or something equally horrible!

    I never thought of that! It might have been interesting.

    I'm intrigued by the story! Did the fisherman pay her for the fish with the necklace? Was the person on the other side of that hook trying to capture her? I got into what happens next! It looked like real underwater to me. Great editing.

    Yes the necklace was payment, not all mermaids have human like morality and she was fully at ease with selling out the fish.

    It's a little while since I posted here, so I thought I'd share my new animation which is a combination of machinima and Blender.

    I used Blender for the modelling and the backgrounds were filmed at Water's Edge Merhaven (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Antiquity%20MarieGalante/30/72/9).

    I really hope you like the story!

    I had this idea for a story several years ago, but I couldn't decide how to do it. The basic idea is you put the brain of a cat in a hi-tech robot body and see what happens. So, earlier this year I started it. I decided it should be mostly made in Blender and I'd try for a cell style animation look with a Blade Runner/cyberpunk style setting. There is also a small amount of machinima, filmed in Second Life, so I hope its OK to post it here.

    Fantasy Faire 2021 an Epic Walk

    in Machinima Forum

    Posted

    I walked through all 21 regions in Fantasy Faire 2021 in Second Life.

    I saw a huge dragon skeleton with an egg, a dodo, a phoenix nest, big statues, tiny fairies, memorial candles, a giants tomb, knitted grass and buildings, a surreal game of chess. 
    I watches shooting stars in the snow, petted a dinosaur, listened to monkeys and fell in the water several times. So much fun!

    Testing Motion-Tracking with Second Life and possible applications for machinima!

    in Machinima Forum

    Posted

    This was Blender 2.79. I put 4 coloured balls in a square and set these as the tracking points in Blender. As I didn't have rez permissions on that land the corner balls were attachments on the Big Boss character set to avatar center who whilst animated was not moving. The display video was made in Blender too and tracked to the plane defined by tracking the 4 corners attachments in SL.

    What you described seems to mean the attachment corners would not  be needed and the tracking could be derived from other content in the scene.

    Thanks Alan. Whilst it was frustrating with the original song it was also very interesting revisiting a Blender project I made so long ago in my early days of learning it. So many things I hadn't done right and was able to fix like baking the little fish and changing the seaweed from soft bodies to shape key movement.

    Strictly speaking this animation is mostly Blender but there is a little machinima too, me and a friend dancing on the pink phone, so I hope you'll forgive me posting it here.

    I originally made this animation a couple of years ago with different music, unfortunately the copyright owners decided to block the music track so I took the opportunity to remaster and tidy it up with new music.

    I hope you enjoy it!

    How does your creative process work?

    in Machinima Forum

    I've not tried a music machinima yet, I might. It seem like it might be expensive with good quality bodies, animations and props. Everything I've done here has been with the things I've made or freebies from the marketplace.

    I like the idea with thinking through the song first or all, I did something similar with a Blender animation a while back, Fish Go Deep, Cure and the Cause.

    What would be the typical cost of a music video Macedonio or Jackson?
