I have lived in Zindra since 2009, when I received the parcel my house is on directly from LL when they opened Zindra. I hardly ever do anything that would not be permitted in a moderate region, other than occasional outdoor sex on my pool deck or beach. I really, really wanted to live in Zindra. The main reason was liberty. In Zindra, I never have to worry about the rules. It's like the difference between having a POA and not having one. I can do whatever I want, confident that I won't get into trouble.

There has to be a way for two avatars to communicate 3D coordinates of specific points on their surfaces to scripts. Now, PCs with 64-core CPUs and 256 GB RAM are possible. Current GPUs are very powerful compared with past ones. Surely, all of this computing power can be used to ameliorate, at least, the issues we have with animations if a framework for them to use were put into place. Has the animation system improved since 2005, when computers had far less power?

That looks very similar to what LL was doing for a while. They employed a third party (Aristotle?) to check credentials submitted by users against external sources. If the credentials checked out, one was verified as an adult. I doubt any such system that does not require in-person verification can be effective in keeping minors out. They are resourceful little devils.

Over the years, I have periodically read comments from people who thought that SL's sexual content and the presumed public perception that it had a lot of sexual content were negatives. They may be for a platform intended for use in the workplace. However, it seems to me that sexual content is inevitable and desirable in a virtual world that is intended for recreational use by adults. It's a feature, not a bug, and not something to be ashamed of.

Speaking of help, I need help making an EvoX head look like me and will happily pay well for a good job.

Why don't you call the support number for premium plus and ask a LL rep?

How did you get it to do that? I could only figure out how to get it to draw a picture based on a verbal description.

I almost always wear underwear when my clothing is such that underwear would be worn IRL, especially panties. I just feel more "put together" that way. I wear fitmesh if it will work, BOM if it won't. I prefer fitmesh because it doesn't look painted-on, and it has better detail. Only rarely will a fitmesh bra work; fitmesh panties often do.

Yes! I hate it when that happens! And sometimes get irritated enough just to leave without buying something I likely would have otherwise.

I would have agreed with that for a long time, until I found this.

Sometime in the past when I asked about these small misalignments that spontaneously appear over time, someone suggested that they result from rounding errors during successive region restarts and that they can be minimized by not having non-zero digits far to the right of decimal points.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh.

Can you record the linkset data, attach the objects, do whatever you need to do, and recreate the linksets using the recorded data?

We are not, and we can see that you have way too much time on your hands.

Every time I try to take a large number if objects into a coalesced object, one or two always are left out. I am convinced that they were within the area I selected. Why is this? Something that I find helpful is to rez a prim a little outside the area where the objects I plan to take are and give it a name that is descriptive of the coalesced object's contents. I select the objects and then select the prim I created last, which results in the coalesced object being named descriptively instead of having the name of one of the objects it contains.

One product you might consider Anypose, available on MP, which allows you to make poses inside SL. You adjust each joint. The main shortcoming is that the steps between positions are often too large. It is a quick and easy way to make a static pose, though.

I'm guessing from your name that you are female. You do need to work on one thing at a time. Trying to do it all at once is just too much. I'm going to guess that, if you have to choose one thing to do first, it will be to customize your avatar. You'll need a mesh body and head. You could try a lot of different ones, or you could just assume that there are good reasons that the most popular ones are popular and go with those. If you do the latter, you'll want a Maitreya Lara body and whichever Lelutka EvoX head you like best, as well as a nice skin. Then you'll need ONE OR TWO hairstyles. Doux was mentioned above. Truth is another good brand. At first, get just A FEW outfits suitable for different occasions. DON'T OVERBUY. There are myriad good clothing stores. A couple of my favorites are Layla's and Scandalize. You'll need shoes; you can't go wrong with KC. That will get you started. I recommend pause your shopping at that point until you learn how to use what you have. You will have enough to have a nice, nicely-dressed avatar. Then, you can decide whether doing more with it, i.e., expanding your wardrobe with accessories and a greater variety of clothes or working on your house is more important as the next step. I have been here since 2007, and am still working on both my avatar and my house, and always will be, Have fun! Feel free to contact me inworld.

I currently wear a Lelutka Simone head that I managed, with a lot of help and a lot of work, to make look remarkably like the system face that I had had for many years. It is time to upgrade, but it seems even more difficult to achieve the same appearance with an EvoX head. After trying, I have concluded that it is either beyond my capabilities or would take an enormous amount of time. Therefore, I am looking for someone with the necessary skills that I can pay to make a shape for an EvoX head that would allow me to continue to look like the same person.

Does anyone know why it says "Tilia" in large blue letters on the Marketplace checkout page? I wouldn't expect that, since MP has nothing to do with RL money.

Let's express our appreciation to Quartz for working through the weekend.

This is way over my head. I am very glad that I was able to stimulate discussion of this issue by people who are so much smarter and more knowledgeable than me. I shall continue to watch with interest and, likely, bewilderment.

I wasn't complaining about it. I was just saying what it is. I am fine with it.

I'm surprised that the people talking about intellectual property rights have ignored that under the TOS LL has an unlimited license to do anything they please with anything that is uploaded into SL.

The title says it all. Assume that the animation is full perm. How can it be done?
