Thanks Medhue. I finally found the right folder, it's not the same path as in windows indeed.

Hi guys, After two years on Qavimator I'm now testing Poser. As it's a demo version, I'm desperately trying to find how to import the SL avatar into Poser, and couldn't find anything so far. My time is limited, so any help is much welcome ...

Hi all and thank you for your help. I asked for a refund or at least an explanation both on the site and in SL and it appears they didn't write the mail address correctly. Well, they told me that I had given the wrong address, although I'm using the same for their site and Paypal ... Anyways, problem solved, so thanks again for your support guys. Tikaf

Hi all, Recently I've sent lindens from SL to Xchange4LS, which went fine, to have them converted to euros. Trouble started when trying to send my newly transformed euros to Paypal. My Paypal is definitely verified and safe, but Xchange4LS tells me they can't send the money. They (Xchange4LS) do not even answer my mails anymore, now. So if anyone has a hint on what to do next, please do not hesitate. And while my money is still in the clouds and not in my pocket, just be careful ...

I used to have the same issue on my mac until I found a patched version on the net. Check in Qavimator > about Qavimator I have this version: QAvimator - Animation editor for Second Life $Id: qavimator.cpp 246 2008-09-16 12:31:27Z rralin $ You can download it there: http://cityofnewbabbage.com/reader/node/2486 Hope that helps, I haven't crashed once with it yet (be it on Snow Lep or Lion).

Good question. Machinima, being fashion or not, might take many forms and shapes, but I think it must differentiate from filming photographies, even if the Ken Burns effect is interesting. And this, just like the first RL filmmakers who were photographers for most of them at the start. Filming a show "as is" is one thing. and I don't pretend to be original there, I'm just trying to refine this kind of shooting for my part. Now the best thing I have seen so far is not traditional catwalk shooting actually. It is from Otaki Kamachi filming Fellini's designs, and here's the link: http://vimeo.com/20180832 I'd say that another way to look at traditional fashion films, but the way is open indeed ...

I beg to differ. This is NOT a fashion show film. Just some pictures filmed. But maybe I was not precise enough in my first post ... I didn't want to post one of my own stuff, but here's what I think an SL fashion show is, and why it can contribute to users' experience ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEvUysURt9g

An interesting thing about this fashion event is that no one has, as yet, mentioned fashion films in Second Life. Just like in RL, fashion pictures are great, no doubt, but who never had this "oh oh will that fit me as beautifully as on this gorgeous model?" feeling before buying an outfit? Why is that so? Well, just like in RL, heavy treatment of the picture on photoshop or other software distorts the perception we have. Now I don't mean to speak evil about photographers of course. Being in the fashion film business myself, I just work hand in hand with photographers, and I can assure I do find their work amazing. I just think that a fashion show machinima provides an added value to designers, different from photography which has been the rule, and only way to publicize one's creations so far. I do believe that fashion films are the only way one can see how your "maybe future outfit" will look in-world, and that is what one wants, right? As I said, I'm in the fashion filming business so of course my opinion is quite biased. Still, I'm happy to have been able to talk about this subject, and am quite curious about your reactions ...

You might want to try the Bijocam camera system. Asil Ares and I did a three part tutorial called "The Kiss" explaining how it works. Asil left the build and cams of the tutorials on her own sim, NeoVictoria, so you can go there and see how it works. The interesting thing being that the interface is free, so you can actually experience how it works and see the camera point of view change as you cross the sensor fields.
