Streaming audio on Second Life Achieved

Submitted by scott on Wed, 01/26/2011 - 13:02

I'm not sure how I was finally able to enable streaming audio for Second Life, but I was. I'm glad I did because this virtual world offers a very rich selection of venues, sound tracks and live music. One of my favorites so far is Cafe Casablanca, inspired by the movie. The cafe does not actually resemble Rick's but given the possiblities in SL, it could.

My First Construct in SL

Submitted by scott on Wed, 01/26/2011 - 13:53

It's been my idea to learn how to create objects in Second Life. My first attempt is a mural from a photo I took of Tenaya Lake. The mural is a construct of eleven (11) prims, or primitives. Each has a portion of the photo on it's front surface. This is referred to as a texture. You can't see it in this photo taken in a "sandbox" in SL but the lake has animated ripples. I did this using the Gimp, an open source suite of image processing utilities similar to Photoshop. The ripples can be seen when this object is viewed in SL.
