Anyone know..or could guess what if the split of SL users, in term of their RL countries. Does this info exist? eg - is it like 60% USA.... 20%... EU...... 5%.... Japan 5% India ... 9% UK.... 1% Australia... 0% China

aww.. thanks...

Thanks.. I have messaged him to ask if he sells it.... thanks for doing that, I wouldn't have known how

At Sunny's Photo Studio... but the pose there is linked to a not very related background, and so impossoble to find out who the creatorr is of the actual pose. So I would rather buy my own copy of it, so I can build my own backdrop.

Tnnak you.. yes please JordonBanks Resident in SL

Thanks for this very thorough response.. really useful

Anyone know where I can buy this 'SLASHER' pose? Can't find it to buy anywhere. And not sure who the creator is? Anyone know? Thanks

How do i craeate or buy a blank poseball.. and can i add my own or purchased poses to it?

Ha.. yes I've had more than my fair share of 'awkward' hugs in SL... so know exactly what you mean. (Sends you a virtual hug)

Thank you for these tips..

So here's my situation. I get my chacater in the perfect pose (either using a purchased pose or anypose). And then I need to phyically position my avatar somehere else just a tiny bit. But when I move left or right or forwards backwards the distance my avi moves is quite big, Is there a way to just nudge my posed character left, right, front, back just a tiny tiny bit? Anyone know?

I have searched all of Market place, and I can only really find older costumes for Dracula or Vampire and nothing specificially for legacy. Anyone have any suggestions for stores in world that may do something. I am preferably looking to create the classic 'gothic vampire' but open to any 'Dracula' stule costume, as long as its high quality. If you have any ideas.. please let me know :)

..mine occasionally turns red as i speak... does that mean my input level is set to high? Is that that it means when it turns red? Is there a way I can monitor my voice, so I can hear it as others are hearing it?

I was looking at this. LENOVO Legion 5 15.6" Gaming Laptop - AMD Ryzen 7, RTX 3060, 512 GB SSD AMD Ryzen 7 5800H Processor RAM: 8 GB / Storage: 512 GB SSD Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 6 GB 221 FPS when playing Fortnite at 1080p Full HD screen / 120 Hz Any good. Any issues.. What will my SL ecperience be like with this? The main reason i am looking to get a new laptopo - curretly use a 32gb 2016 Macbook. (intel based chip not M1) So still reasonably high spec, and the last model before the M1 chips came out. But using SL on it can be a very HOT and NOISY experience, and depending here I am in SL, drame rates can drop to as low as 4 or 5, and be very slow. I also like photpgraphy is SL, and so do use ultra settings fior photpgraphy. Size of screen not so bothered about. My cyrret Mac is 16" and found that ok.

Thanks. I'll take a look. has to be a laptop, as will be using it for work too, and so need portability

up to about $2000. But less if poss obvs

I for one, am glad you took the time to share the information. Thank you

think I have narowed this down to potentail issue in Mac caused by overheating. Apparently the Mac purposely slows down the connection as it begins to try and cope with extreme heat production.

Best laptop currently for SL to run well - model or spec?

Doing exactly this now - to see what happens. Not 100% sure I'll know if the figures in the activity monitor are higher than they should be. but will paste sopme results here showing before the speed dropped, and what they were when the speed dropped.

Something similar began happening to me around the same date (a week ago). After about 10 minutes of logging in, my internet speed drops from around 70mbps to around 5mbps, making SL effectively unusuable. Once I logo out after about 5 mins speed returns to 70mbps. I have re-booted my router. I have deleted and re-installed my wi-fi connection from scratch. i have even tried using a VPN, as I was suspicious that my internet provider may be throttling my speed when using SL. But same things still happens. Let me know if you resolve the issue, and what you did to resolve it.

Anyone any ideas what could be happening here? Over the last week or, some weird internet speed issue has begun to affect my MAcbook Pro, after using SL. My speed over Wi-Fi is usually around the 50-70Mbps mark. However over last week, whenever I open SL after a few minutes my speed drops to around 4 or 5Mbps. But remains like that even after termimating the SL OR Firestorm app. The only way to get it back up to speed again, is usually by rebooting my machine. BUT the werdest part is this. This is only affecting the machine I am using with SL. So even though the speed drops on my Macbook to around 5Mbps, it remains at the usual 50-70Mbps on all other devices - inluding other apple devices. Speed only drops on my Macbook, and only ever after launching Firestorm or SL Viewer. Anyone any ideas whats happening? Below are some screen shots showing thre speeds of three devices, the lower one being my Macbook, after I launched and terminated the SL app. 9These examples are afyter using Firestorm. But also checked if same happens using SL Viewer and it does) Macbook - After starting and then ending Firestorm once the speed dropped iMac - tested at the same time iPhone - tested at the same time

I'd like to take some short smooth 'zooming in and rotating' live video style photos of my Avatar. But if I try to do this manually I often will speed up or jerk my camera movements as i rotate and zoom my camera Anyone know if there a way to do this smoothly or automatically? Or a 'pose turntable' or turn and zoom tool that I can purchase to srt up a desired short 'rotate and zoom' Thanks

Thank you - yes Firestorm - but on a Mac. I find to get depth of field to be visible in my shots outside of SL, I have to really ramp up the DOF in SL - to the point it looks super blurry in SL, but is fine when I then open the shot in Photoshop. Not sure if this is normal behaviour, or specific to my Mac version of Firestorm.

LIFE SAVER. Just could not work out how to focus on my face once I had set my depth of field how I wanted it. THIS SOLVED MY ISSUE. PERFECTLY!!! (and also I'd like to take this opportunity to also prove my point to some of the moderators of this forum that the OLD POSTS ARE STILL VALUABLE. As prevoulsy they have kind of suggested to me I shouldn't really be adding stuff to older posts as they may be out of date or no longer accurate. I get that. But this proves how older posts can equally be invaluable. Thank you Whirly Fizzle for this - albeit it from 5 years ago!!).
