    I don’t blame you for making these threads and hoping something good will come out of it. I myself have tried making threads like this and haven’t met a single friend out of any of it. In my experience, people add you and seldom ever chat to you. Second Life is like that in a nutshell. No one talks and the only time you ever talk is in some bad sex role play. But. You know. Good luck finding friends on this game.

    Usually people message me and we talk for about 5 minutes, maybe a bit more. Then they say they'll be back later, or they just never reply again and that's that. Not sure why it's so hard to find friends, I even go out and look for people too and I'm always the first person to say hi. I just don't understand really.

    Actually the spinning is my other art form, ? And Jixxur, doesn't look like I will get online in SL till tomorrow, but I will respond, it would be fun to get together cuddle on some beach and make the boys jealous and maybe get a few pictures for our Flickr pages.

    Sounds good! :3

    I did IM you, did you get it?

     

    Yes I did and we did talk! I must have removed you when I cleaned my friends list, I like to clean my list of people who don't talk to me for awhile. You never responded to me so I just assumed you added me for no reason like alot of other people do. For some reason ... I just messaged you now though! :3

  4. Hi hi!

    I'm looking for more friends! :3

    I like just hanging out and talking, exploring new places, roleplaying, shopping and basically anything else SL has to offer. So I'd be down to do anything you'd like really, I don't mind what we do. As long as I'm doing it with someone then that's all that matters to me. 

    Right now I currently spend my time sitting in my apartment that I live in, in a sci-fi RP sim that's currently being built. The owner lets me live here for free so it's pretty cool. I normally just sit here all day alone or with my 1 friend that I have. I'd like to meet more people and do new stuff, there is alot of things I have yet to do in SL. I'm still fairly new. I've only played for a little over a month.

    If you'd like to add me then please search me up! Just search up .. "Jixxur" and you will find me, please IM me in-world. 

    I am online at all times, EST timezone. I barely sleep, my sleep schedule is very messed up right now. 

    I will always respond to your IMs as well, please feel free to IM me whenever! 

    Thank you. c: ♥

  5. Hi hi.

    I'm looking for a weapon, like a sword or a gun. But not just a normal gun, like a sci-fi'y type gun. An energy gun or whatever, not just a normal gun though, is that makes any sense.

    Or a sword, like a light saber or a katana.

    BUT, that goes on my hip or my thigh. I want to put a weapon here for the sci-fi RP sim that I live in. Just for show, but if it actually does stuff then that would be awesome sauce.

    If anyone knows of anything please let me know! Thanks. ♥

  6. ( I really don't know exactly where to post this, so hopefully a moderator sees this and moves it to the correct place in case this is wrong. I'm very sorry! )

    Me and my girlfriend, who both live at this house, have 2 open rooms in our house that we'd like for people to come rent if they wanted. 

    We've had the house + land for only 5 days. I've never decorated before in my life so hopefully I did a good job, enough for anyone to want to come stay with us. We're for sure not done with decorating the house, we're still always adding more stuff to make it look pretty and more fun for everyone.

    The land itself is 4352 SQM with 2191 prims total. We've used 1125 which leaves us at 1066 prims left. I pay all of the rent right now at $1600 per week, it's not much at all but we just would really like to have 2 others live with us. It would make the house more alive, you can even bring friends and make it your hang our place. It would make us very happy. Of course though we'd like to not let 2 people stay here for free, so you'd have to pay rent. But we will talk about the pricing and details in-world after you IM me!

    We're looking to rent 2 rooms for a certain amount of prims. You're able to live in a nice looking house in a peaceful and quiet neighborhood, watch TV, brings friends over, throw parties, even help us decorate and much more. We are not going to give you crazy rules to live by when you come live with us, all you need to do is pay rent and you're good to go! We will of course let you decorate your room as you want.

    If anyone is interested in living with us then please IM me in-world.

    Search up "Jixxur" and you will find me! We will be able to talk about pricing and everything else.

    If you have any questions please feel free to ask!

  7. I already have the place picked out, it's right next to a friend of mine and it's in a good place. There is no lag whatsoever and no ridiculous big skyscrapers or weird/funny looking buildings around. 

    It is for $1603L per week, I can pay that off by myself easily but I thought it would be more fun and better to rent with someone else. Less money = better obviously and I just think it would be nice to live with someone and get to know each other. I'm not very creative when it comes to houses or decorating so hopefully you are! d: But I will try my best.

    If anyone is interested please let me know, the prims are also 2191. I don't know much about land renting and the prims per L but I feel like it's good enough for me.

    So that would mean we pay $800L per week for each of us. 

    Message me in-world if you're interested in doing this with me, I can even show you where the land is located before we do anything.

    Just search up "Jixxur" and you will be able to find me! 

  8. I'm not quite sure exactly where to post this but I will post this here, if it's the wrong place then a mod will handle it, sorry in advance.

    Hi there! I'm looking for people to be in my Flickr pictures.

    I'm trying to upload 2 pictures with me and 1 other person in different clothes and poses every single day. If you look at my Flickr you will be able to see what I'm talking about.

    My skills are very basic. I'm still a complete newbie at photography and editing my photos. I've only started 5 days ago on both as well as my Flickr account. I'm trying to learn all by myself and become better at making awesome photos. Learning everything by yourself makes it all more fun, at least to me it does.

    So if anyone would be interested in meeting me in-world and taking pictures with me to be in my Flickr, IM me! 

    Just search up, "Jixxur" and you will be able to find me.

    We can also take pictures for your Flickr as well if you have one. I will also tag you in both photos after I've uploaded them if you have your own Flickr account.

    Thank you! :3

    I am normally about 6ft in heels and feel about average height for the groups of people I tend to hang out with. Men tend to be a bit taller 6.5 to 7ft.

    In some groupings I am the tallest... In others I look tiny.. There are still groups of people often Americans that go for very tall looks, especially men but also women. Personally women above 7 foot tall look weird to me like their legs are twice as long as they should be. I don't know if they for whatever reason just can't see the deformity that is glaring to me, or if they don't care and are that height so their eyes aren't at crotch level to their over compensating male companions.

    So would you say my height is fine then? Maybe I just hang around small people ... :D

  10. What is the normal human adult height for SL?

    Not talking about furries or teens or children, etc .. I mean for like a normal human adult height, like RL but in SL.

    My height right now is 6.17 feet(1.88 meters) in SL and to some people I feel really tall. Are they just smaller? I don't know really what the normal height is.

  11. Hi hi.

    So right now I'm renting a sky box for $500 a week because I was new and didn't have much money. But now I have TONS of moniiiiiiiieeeees from working and stuff.

    I'm trying to move from my skybox onto a private island with someone. I dislike living on a skybox because you're in the sky, it's not realistic at all.

    I would love to meet someone here who would be willing to rent with me, we would split the rent of course. I'm looking for something between .. We can find a good place together and figure out our pricing as well.

    I would first obviously like to meet and for us to get to know each other to see if we'd be good living together. We could decorate together and stuff, I'm honestly not much into decorating so if you are then that would be perfect.

    Or if we could find multiple people then that would be awesome too, like 3 people and split, or more. I dunno. I just think it would be fun to live with someone! c:

    IM me in SL, find me on the search:  " Jixxur "  I am online 24/7!

  12. Hi hi, still pretty new to SL. Have been only playing for a little over 2 weeks.

    I've met some pretty awesome people in SL from the club that I dance for, they're all great people but they don't seem to like hanging out with me. They're all with each other and barely talk to me other than when we're all at the club together.

    I know I should explore around SL and find friends myself but why not do both?

    So I'm making this post to see if any of you would like to become my friend! 

    I'm not looking for people just to talk with, I want friends to actually do stuff with. Could explore places together, take pictures together, have fun and do fun stuff together, show me new places and what else SL has to offer besides clubs and stuff.

    ( I like the word 'stuff' )

    We can do everything! I don't just want people who will talk to me and then say they will hang with me and then never do, stay away from me please. c:

    Search up "Jixxur" and you will find me!

    If you've moved out of the SL viewer into a TPV, like Firestorm or many others, then you can use Parcel Windlight. http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_windlight

    (Eventually the Lab will include something like this, eventually, it's on their roadmap)

     

    Quite simple. I'd make something like the dome in Blender myself so I can do it square, but for the sake of simplicity the Turnip Dome is ok.https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Turnips-Skydome-20-Base-Package/4251774

    If you want cheap and doable... 4 prims and make your own! 1 cube, hollow it out, then a prim on top and bottom, set the colour to black.

    Then some fog, like https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Halloween-Animated-Ground-Fog-Mesh-3D-Effect-Gothic-mist/6488803 or hmm https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Ground-Fog-Full-Perm-Mesh/10123918

    Maybe better than those something from ANC (which is an amazing shop to look in for that sort of thing) https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/116811

     

     

    I think I found a sky dome I was interested in, but I'd really like to try making my own to see how it goes.

    What do you mean by, "then a prim on top and bottom". This confused me.

  15. I'd love to make it so I live inside a dark dome with fog on the floor so it's like you're walking on clouds and then put lights on the ground so it looks cool. 

    I have no clue where to start oh my gosh, so much stuff ...

    Does anyone know how I can keep the sun at a certain point in the sky forever? I change it to what I want but it won't let me press save or anything.

  16. Hi hi, was just making a post to look for suggestions and ideas on what I can do to my skybox.

    So far I just have a house that I bought pre-made, it's pretty cool actually and big as well, came with furniture in it already. I also have a little dance area with a DJ set I put for no reason whatsoever. As well as a random garden and some trees. The red thing up top is where I take pictures of my clothing and upload to Flickr.

    But I'm not really happy with it, it's just a bunch of random stuff all over the place. I'm still pretty new to this game so I wanted to see if anyone has any suggestions and ideas on what I could do to the place. I want to remake the whole land with cool stuff. 

    So does anyone have any ideas on what I could do with it? The land is 1760 sqm. It also has 697 prims.

    Thank you! :3

    I opened a flickr about a year ago and I'm still learning. I'm not a blogger or anything and I experiment a lot, because I just enjoy doing pictures and learning.

    https://www.flickr.com/photos/pumpumsnacks/

     My only caveat is a lot of what flickr is, is a quid pro quo system. Some people will favorite your stuff because you favorited their stuff. Some people take pictures that aren't great but they like everything so, people like their stuff because they liked theirs too. Hope that makes sense.

    Having glossy, shiny pictures is what is popular right now. A couple of years ago, burn and dodge pictures were really popular. It varies and there are different scenes, so the best thing to do is do what you do and stick with it. Some groups are nothing more than pic dumps where people just put their pictures and that's it. But the best thing to do is like what you like and really examine the pictures that you like, after a while you can figure out what they did. When I started, I used bigger bodies, got a lot of favorites using those, but when I switched to one of the big three....lost a lot of favorites in the beginning, because people only like certain things. If you're going for favorites and followers, stick with one thing.  So if you're doing cutesie stuff, stick with cutesie stuff, if you're doing sci-fi, stick with sci-fi. It's best not to diverge, but I do because I'm enjoying trying things out.

    Ideally, you want to do your own lighting and you want to chose high contrast windlights. I use lightme! and it's relatively cheap, but great lighting. 

    https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/LightMe-Professional-Lighting-for-Scenes-and-Photography/13350437

    You could create your own lighting using prims, it's just a lot easier to use something prepackaged. I would say start by creating a backlight for yourself though, that you can make invisible. There are also prepackaged backdrops you can buy and use. But I would say start with a lightbox like this:

    https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/StrawberrySinghcom-Simple-Photo-Studio/5745423

    Free and adjustable! Using that can go a long way to understanding about lighting.

    For photography itself, you want to take a picture as large as your PC will allow. Right now I do them at about 4000 pixels, but I've gone up to 6000 pixels. And save it to disk, not a straight up upload to flickr. The reason you want to do this, is so you can edit out any imperfections you notice and do some post processing. Then resize the picture to something reasonable and upload it to Flickr. If you're using DoF (depth of field), you can't make the picture too big, because it just doesn't work over a certain size.

     

    Hope that helps and that's just scratching the surface!

    Thank you very much for the reply! I just woke up so sorry for responding so late.

    How do I know how much pixels I am taking my picture at? I put the size to "custom" and as default it gave me a 1344 x 768 size. The size of my monitor is 1600 x 900 though. Should I bump the size up to the size of my monitor? And where does pixels come into play, I don't see anywhere it saying how many pixels I have my thing set too.

    I feel so dumb sorry I'm such a noob .. if anyone could help me with this that would be great. I'd like to make my pictures look as good as possible!

  18. Hey if anyone reads this, is there a place or a way to get my Flickr account noticed by more people? I'm new to the whole social media thing, I never had a Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or anything like that. Flickr is the very first thing to do with all this stuff for me, so I was just wondering if there was a way to show people.

    I'm not begging for followers or anything, just would like to have people see my photos. Would make me feel better and people could also tell me what I can do to improve and also tell me good places to take pictures maybe. 

    Or if anyone reading this wants to check out the very first picture I took, feel free too! My Flickr - Not sure if linking your own stuff is allowed on the forums or not, if it's not then I will edit it out. Still new to the forums, sorry!

    Thank you! :3
