  1. Freaky Fridays. Everybody randomly switches avatars for 24 hours every friday.
  2. When I went to the Glastonbury this past summer it was really cool seeing David Hockney's new artwork incorporating AI, displayed on the Pyramid Stage. It’s a shame I didn't meet him in person, I could have told him what a “wannabe clown artist” he is.
  3. In the UK, it is illegal to generate, distribute, or view sexual images of children under the age of 18. This includes images generated by AI where no children are involved. Is there not a similar law in the US? I’d assume given how easy it is to acquire and use stable diffusion to generate child pronography using AI, that US lawmakers would have already rushed to introduce legislation to criminalise this activity and by extension, the generation of child pronography in SL where no children are actually involved.
  4. Oberwager required the evolution of mammals to occur in order for him to make this statement, so you are totally on topic dude, don't worry.
  5. What if you were stood next to a 3 metre tall baby? It's very confusing. 😁
  6. Even if you did make your av taller, but then you were stood far away from others, you would still appear smaller! Everyone will need to stand within 2 meters of each other at all times in order to gauge accurate avatar sizes, just to be on the safe side. Reverse social distancing is the answer.
  7. To put my comment in context: It’s not like I did a survey, it’s just a statistic I remember reading a while ago. I do not attest to the statistics validity and I am certainly not trying to diminish the relevance of anybody's personal experience. I mentioned this statistic because the discussion in the earlier pages in this thread were focused predominantly on females, which Love pointed out.
  8. Wow i’d completely forgotten about dwell, I used to game the bejesus out of that, and paying for picks to game the classifieds. And for some reason the word Dwell reminded me of the word Tringo which I had also completely forgotten about too. I’ve destroyed an awful lot of brain cells since those early days and it’s nice to have old memories triggered. Thanks!
  9. I guess we should bear in mind that about 80% of child abuse victims are female, so people may generally associate the topic of child abuse more with girls than boys based on what they have learned during their lives.
  10. Talking about post count, I am wondering if our current post count includes the total posts from the old forum too? This forum, v2.0 started in 2008/9 i think, so there could be 4 or 5 years worth of posts unaccounted for when it comes to the older oldbies.
  11. It offered accounts denominated in Linden Dollars, which would be paid extremely high interest rates (at one point 0.145% per day or 69.7% per year[1]) Well it all seemed too good to be true, SO IT MUST BE TRUE!! I was young and gullable. I lost a small fraction compared to some people though.
  12. Anyone who got ripped off by Ginko definitely is. Im still bitter about loosing that L$10K all these years later 😭
  13. I am trying to learn about the adoption rate of ALM. This thread is 4 years old and I am wondering if things have changed since then. Does anyone know if there is more widespread usage of ALM now? Thanks
  14. Hi Charlotte, could I get a copy of your PBR EEP please? It's really handy being able to cycle through a bunch off PBR friendly EEP's when testing materials and It would be great to include yours in that list. Thanks.
  15. This comment has been wondering what has occured in previous years to elicit this response?
  16. Thats just one more stop on the road to the movie Wierd Science becoming a reality. What a time to be alive!
  17. I'm new to mesh, at least the SL side of it. I’ve been focused on PBR materials since I've been back and I've been importing models to test them on, not really caring about optimising LI at this point. But something that has been bugging me is that I can import 2 models with the same number of polys and the same size bounding box yet they can have different Li. I'm wondering if your comment about triangle size is the answer because the only difference between the two meshes would be the size of the polys. So if possible could you (or anybody) please speak more about the triangle size? Is there an optimal triangle size (in cm)? Are there limits to how big or small triangles should be when trying to optimise the LI. Why are you suggesting that small and large tris be split into separate meshes? Thanks.
  18. Cool, I really like Substance Designer, it took me a few years to really get to grips with it but now I can make 100% realistic procedural materials just using maths, it's awesome! I’ve tried doing the same in Blender but it’s really hard work and less functional. Good luck with your new store and please let us know when it’s open.
  19. I am using a 14 year old avatar and have had a 12 year sabbatical. Also when I teleport into a new area I never move my Av, I just move the camera. Please consider this as my official application for your creep list. 😁
  20. I could model and texture that for you easily in about 20 - 30 mins. 😁
  21. If it's a competition you want, let's all sign up at PBR.com and become Professional Bull Riders (which is a real thing). Whoever comes top in the standings next season gets to choose the default PBR EEP. Edit - On reflection I think we should forget this idea, it’s a load of old bullocks!
  22. Well I think there is an easy answer, which is for LL to provide a default environment fit for purpose. Content creators can use an equivalent HDRI map when authoring PBR if they want to and consumers can place legacy and PBR into the environment with acceptable visual results. That surely has to be the goal for LL. If people want to deviate from the default and start experimenting with other EEP’s then that's their prerogative, but it should not be a requirement. Personally I won't be providing recommended EEP settings with PBR content because the PBR / glft rollout still seems to be in beta and still subject to change at any given moment. I will just support customers if they ask.
  23. No, I am talking about the default EEP here which is LL's responsibility. A decent default EEP would hopefully negate the need for people to change their EEP settings at all if they dont want to.
