  1. I am building a concert venue and am needing some single/couple animations. Imagine being at an outdoor setting, watching your fave band perform. You're by yourself or with your squeeze, enjoying the environment. With that said, here is what I'm looking for: 1) 2 Single/couple stands 2) 2 Single/couple dances 3) 2 Single/couple sits ...on a blanket with a pillow (a picnic setting would be bonus, not necessary). All animations must be PG. No adult style, please. No pose balls. I don't do PayPal or any other pay system. I only pay in Lindens. NC me in-world with proposal and rates.
  2. I couldn't help smiling reading this thread. I think we've all been there, accidentally deleting the house. I once changed the texture of my upstairs area with an advertising texture. Talk about gauche. I just deleted it and carefully adjusted the new house to where the furniture and posters were hanging. Just slow down when placing the house. It's not going anywhere (unless someone...never mind). Enjoy the digs.
  3. I recently purchased a new puter and am migrating what I can from the old desktop to the newer. I have ran into a snag concerning Winamp and signing in. I have ver 5.8 3660 and noticed that the pref page for pertinent info has changed. How do I fill in the required info such as server source, channel and/or password? I'm hoping someone uses the same version and can walk me through the sign in process. Am I missing something? I have looked into Mixxx and liked what I saw (sign in was a breeze) but am having separate problems there, I'll save for another thread if need be.
  4. It's cute when a three year old does it. Do it as an adult, they ask you to leave and issue a trespass notice. Go figure. 🙄
  5. Problem solved!!!! I can run in Ultra now, not I plan to run around the grid in that setting on the laptop, but no more lines (♫ lines, lines, everywhere a...♪ never mind). Funny, I can use my desktop with no problems at Ultra. I know, apples/oranges, but I can do both machines now. Thank you Coffee. I was advised by a gentleman at Firestorm chat group to pull back a notch for the time being. It worked but I really wanted the Ultra level for photos. Now I can. I'll experiment a bit and who knows, I may just leave it one notch back for grins sake. Thank you Silent and everyone else who tossed a serious suggestion.
  6. For the record, I don't use my lappy for games. But hey, thanks for playing. Now run along. I updated my drivers and still had the problem. Everyone else, I posted at Firestorm chat and described my problem. Very helpful folk there. Someone there suggested I was pushing my graphics a bit hard but to pull back to 'High'. I did so and it cleaned up. I clicked it to one click before 'Ultra' and the problem was gone as well, and my photo tools still work to how I like to use.. I guess if I use 'Ultra', I'll just need to experiment with my settings.
  7. ♫ blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind... ♪ Apologies if General is the wrong forum to ask this question. Just started using my laptop for Second LIfe. Out of curiosity, I cranked it to Ultra to see my FPS. Settled at around 15-20. Good enough for photography (w/ shadows and all). I noticed some lines in my shot. Depending on what I'm shooting, I could maybe get away with them if I'm shooting wide. However, they more pronounced as I zoom in. My lap info: CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10300H CPU @ 2.50GHz (2496 MHz) Memory: 7994 MB Concurrency: 8 OS Version: Microsoft Windows 11 64-bit (Build 22000.778) Graphics Card Vendor: NVIDIA Corporation Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650/PCIe/SSE2 Graphics Card Memory: 4096 MB Windows Graphics Driver Version: 31.0.15.1640 OpenGL Version: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 516.40 Shot 1 Wide, the lines are not texture on the deck...Shot 2 Medium, they more pronounced. Notice the angle of the lines on the deck. They are not shadows...Shot 3 Close, see Shot 2. These are not shadows on the wall and those are not leggings or web hose on my legs. Any ideas how to remedy? PS, reminder, these are shot in Ultra mode, with all default settings as such.
  8. I checked that link to the article you posted. Has some interesting points. I also checked the examples (Best Buy) the author listed and it raised a question I have always wondered. I would like to upgrade to a newer GPU. The one I have now is an Nvidia Geforce card I was given and have been using since 2016. Nvidia is still giving me updates. Sadly, I'm unable to give you the exact card model as I'm on my lappy now and the card is in my desktop (maybe post here an update later when I get on the desk). I had the stock power unit removed (180w) and a 450w unit installed. Am hoping to get an I-7 processor (I-3 now) sometime. The desk is an HP and can be expanded. My question is how set in concrete are the recommended power supply ratings? If i purchase a new card that has a recommended power of 500w, would using a 450w power supply make much of a difference?
  9. Take your time. Don't try to learn too much at one sitting. That will just frustrate you. If you decide to take some time away at first, fine. It'll be here when you come back. Don't allow the naysayers to hamstring you. This will just slow you down. Take your time. Build your Avi at your rate. It will change over time. Start with the basic Avi offered by SL, but dollars to donuts, you will eventually want to upgrade to a premium body/head. There are many to choose from. Yes, they are expensive (relatively speaking), but in the long run you won't look back. With that said, I can not emphasize this enough...DEMO, DEMO, DEMO! Don't buy before demoing for looks and fit. This goes with clothes as well as body/heads. Take your time. When you are comfortable, learn some basic editing. This will be handy when you move into a house and need to move furniture and what not around. Learn the 'X', 'Y' and 'Z' axis. You don't need to learn just yet. Put on a "To Do" list. It will remain a struggle until, through sheer repetition, you start remembering how something works. Then it gets easier. Every poster at this forum has been there, done that. We were all noobs at one time. Just maintain course headings and you'll be okay. There are plenty of suggestions I could give you, but no sense in overloading you now. In time, you will figure your own progress. Oh. Take your time. I must say one last thing. Second Life is not a game. If you refer to it as such, the purists may come out of the woodwork (myself included) to correct you. There is no goal, no winning levels and no prize at the end. It is an experience. You will always be learning something. I hope some will come here and toss you more suggestions/recommendations. Take your time and have fun. Welcome to SL.
  10. Just curious, how many items does one have in inventory after 18.7 years? You stated you still haven't sorted so probably still possess items from day one. I ask sincerely.
  11. Go to your dashboard and click 'Account'. Click 'Premium Membership'. This will place you on an information page showing the difference between Premium and Premium +. Just below the Premium section that states '$99.00 per year' (Your Current Plan), is the link to downgrade (Choose Basic Plan).
  12. If that is the case, would that include removing some animations as well? I would think if I located something close to what I envision, removed unneeded animations, added my sits/cuddles/dance moves, I would be infringing on someones true creation. I've found one store that deals in full perm animations and they offer a few sits I could use. I purchased one for now, just for experimenting with. If anyone could recommend other shops that offer full perm sits (show mo?), it would be appreciated.
  13. I will eventually want to have multiple sits and a couples option (PG). Baby steps for now.
