stand and deliver!

I've been slightly obsessed with this app since finding it a few days ago, it's amazing how well it works if you take the right photo; https://streamable.com/f0i6sl I'm with what Vanity Fair posted in their blog post - these videos really do skip over the uncanny valley effect for me. maybe just because they're using a source video of an actual human person and mapping the image onto that, so it's more like mo-cap? but either way it's amazing to see our avatars in motion that you otherwise couldn't easily do. and singing rick astley This technology's been around for a little bit though up til now it involved running complicated code and setting up your image precisely and finding an appropriate lipsyncing video to copy from, so here's hoping more apps like this come out that make the process a lot easier (while also probably harvesting your data and using it to improve facial recognition and to train AI Killbots... that can also sing Rick Astley)

I could never understand business in a million years (I have a functioning moral compass) but I'm curious what on earth the goal could be, whether there's enough in LL worth sucking out. If you believe the cries, Second Life's been on its death bed for years, and I can't imagine that SL as it looked a few months ago had much to even siphon off. Do investment companies usually buy out boats with holes in them? Given the recent.. everything happening in the world I've read that SL's had a bit of an upswing in users recently, but I imagine this deal was set in motion well before that. Wonder if the potential resurgence might make the investors think twice about at least immediately cannibalizing us.

heard it was world goth day, took a shot to celebrate. (actually, confession: I was listening to ABBA the entire time I was taking this. still, at least I look goth)

a blood splattered baseball bat and tartan pants are essential for any trip to a spooky theme park

I'm a sucker for a floral shirt

realised midway thru taking photos that my new coat clipped with the trousers I had on so here's a closeup instead.. the shadow's kinda wonky but I like how it looks on my face

thank you! I'll give these a demo

I love dura's hairs.. constantly wish I could find some similar because I feel awful just using the same few!

What hair is this? I love it (tho I might already have it)

still getting to grips with what sort of windlight works best, as well as fiddling with poses with animare
