Troppo The Blog

I have been using Imprudence and Kirstens viewer in opensim for some time. Kirstens viewer is what I use for video and photos. I use the S19 viewers with shadows enabled. The latest build is a little shack in Troppo Club a 3×3 Diva distro grid. Shadows and the way a viewer handles light is fun and challenging and way different to photography in RL. The ability to control the time of day and East angle of sun and moon light is handy, in Opensim this works really well. Add that light (lets call it natural light)  together with projected light (works in Kirstens but not in imprudence yet )and you have a big say in how your video or photo will look. Projected light is light from a prim but unlike “a prim like a light” only projects light from one face of the prim (my understanding of it) you can give that face a texture say a circle and that will then become a spotlight. I will show some photos from the project I am working on right now in the next post to explain more.

Here are some photos of the latest build to show what Kirstens and Imprudence can do. The photos with fake shadows (shadows on a prim still hanging around ) are Imprudence the others are Kirstens no projected light was used in the photos this time.

The Great Gig in the Sky

It was an amazing 4^th of July Party! The Troppo team ( headed by April) together with Sharkskull Baxton and his Angels. As one they made use of virtual worlds  best assets  it was just breathtakingly beautiful. The light show that Sharkskull and his team put together (pardon the pun)was out of this world. The cleverly choreographed show was delightfull to watch.  This event will live in our minds,  the Avatars that danced with the stars will take with them lasting memories of an outstanding 2010 4^th of July party. Thank you, thank you, thank you….. photos

This is is a cool way to drive a ball round the office. The phone of cause has all the goodies inside it to send the message to the ball to turn and change direction and so on….
Is this a way to control our Opensim and SL Avatars. Could the phone act like a mouse, it’s already on the network via wifi ?? Could it mimic my movements and relay it to my Avatar mmmmm…

More and more Avatars are going Troppo  It’s understandable  Going Troppo is an Avatar sort of thing to do.  A mix of constant SL sun  PinaColadas and hard SN  Rock& Blues makes people a bit Troppo. What are the symptoms? A lackadaisic way of  behaviour,  no care attitude, increased alcohol  intake  arms and legs moving in a dance sort of manner shouts of Bundy, Beer and give me more a sure sign of Gone Troppo. This symptom is often found around the SN Rock&Blues Club in Troppo . Dont Fret “The lost band of Troppos” are looking after you feeding you a stream of Rock , Blues and Explosive Concerts after all going Troppo is a highly desirable thing to do. Go Troppo  on the 26th of June 4pm PDT.  Scorpions will Rock you. Simone  April and the crew will feed you all sorts of  Troppo.  The Band will play  and you be screaming for Bundy and Beer…….. “Going Troppo is all about pleasure and Cheers”…..

Simone, April,Robbert,Lisaki together with Krank ,Wit  and Explosive Concerts presented Janis Joplin to us. That is not an easy task Janis Joplin was of cause larger than life. Today her music lives on making social statements, raunchy Rock and sweet ballads they are all still alive many years after. Here is a small portion of a grand evening.
