    Simulated intimacy in SL vs the world ..

    I’m in the process of debating with myself over buying premium and subsequently buying a plot of land. And holy hell the adult continent is expensive as expensive gets.

    I can get a parcel in a moderate region with the features and size I want for like L$12000, cheap as dirt. If I want something spec equivalent on the adult continent it’s ten times that. 
    That to me is an indicator of demand, people want more of the adult content in many ways.

    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?

    Behold, the solution to that:

    https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/4407282410644-Age-ID-Verification

    Done by Roblox of all platforms, a site that hosts mostly children. They use age verification for their developer exchange program, community tester programs and voice chat. Though the primary benefit is for large name players to be validated as the real person, since they have usernames and display names you can just pretend to be someone else, but only the real person can be validated.
    It’s by a company called Veriff that does the same thing for a variety of businesses for different reasons.

    That would be the way to confirm if people really are adults or not. You don’t go off registered date of birth alone. You only let people into the adult content if they have verified they’re an adult. It’s quite a bit harder to spoof that one than simply changing your birth year on registration.

    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.

    Wearing underwear

    in Your Avatar

    Posted

    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.

    Best practices for moving a large build to a new sim

    in Building and Texturing Forum

    Posted · Edited by Jennifer Boyle

    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.

    Pose making help

    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!

    Wanted: Someone who can make an EvoX face look like me

    in Inworld Employment

    Posted

    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.

    Please let's not get side-tracked into sniping at each other's typos.    Satisfying though it is, it really doesn't contribute to civil and productive discussion of an important topic, and leads  only to the sort of bickering and ill-feeling that gets threads closed.

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

    I'm not sure our responses were in context.  Jennifer said LL has an unlimited license to do as they please with out content.  That doesn't mean they OWN it.  They own control over it.

    This is the part of the TOS I'm sure Jennifer was referring to:

    1.2 The Service exists only as long as and in the form that we may provide the Service, and all aspects of the Service, including your User Content, are subject to change or elimination.

    Linden Lab has the right to change, limit access to, and/or eliminate any aspect(s), feature(s) or functionality of the Service (including your User Content) as it sees fit at any time without notice, and Linden Lab makes no commitment, express or implied, to maintain or continue, or to permit open access to, any aspect of the Service. You acknowledge that your use of the Service is subject to this risk and that you knowingly assume it and make your decisions to participate in the Service, contribute Content and spend your money accordingly.

Linden Lab reserves the right to treat User Content on the Service as content stored at the direction of users...

    No, here's the part I was referring to:

    "Except as otherwise described in any Additional Terms (such as a contest's official rules) which will govern the submission of your User Content, you hereby grant to Linden Lab, and you agree to grant to Linden Lab, the non-exclusive, unrestricted, unconditional, unlimited, worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual, and cost-free right and license to use, copy, record, distribute, reproduce, disclose, modify, display, publicly perform, transmit, publish, broadcast, translate, make derivative works of, and sell, re-sell or sublicense (through multiple levels)(with respect to each Product or otherwise on the Service as permitted by you through your interactions with the Service), and otherwise exploit in any manner whatsoever, all or any portion of your User Content (and derivative works thereof), for any purpose whatsoever in all formats, on or through any media, software, formula, or medium now known or hereafter developed, and with any technology or devices now known or hereafter developed, and to advertise, market, and promote the same.
