Active Worlds June 28, 1995

The first virtual world was Active Worlds. Perhaps there is still an opportunity to register here.

Sometimes I think what could happen if it was this world that took the leadership position, and not the modern SL.

Or... Alpha World?

First time of Second Life (Linden World)

And this:

These tips are relevant at any time of the year, in any year and in general… It is very RELEVANT.

Read the product description.

Click on all the tabs to see what and why.

Read the rights to the product.

Look carefully at the product images.

If the product has a demo version - test the demo.

Buying a product means the following:

You have read the description and know what is included in the package and what this or that product is. You agree with the product description.

You have seen all the tabs and inscriptions.

If you purchase a product, you agree to the product rights. If something does not suit you, you have the right to refuse to buy the product.

You looked at the image of the product and saw all the pros and cons.

You have tested the demo version.

The above means that you should have no complaints about the product's performance. A virtual reality product cannot be damaged if it is not a gaming HUD. It's not Tamagotchi, it's not food, it's not something that has an expiration date. If you don't know what a product works with due to insufficient information, don't buy that product. Find an analogue that has a detailed description or contact the seller and ask your questions.

About my products:

No refunds.

You can leave your advice, I can ignore it or accept it.

You need to understand that the color scheme depends on your contrast settings, the brightness of the SL to the client.

If it is written next to the product that you need to have skills - do not ignore it. Otherwise, you will not be able to set the settings.

Questions and Answers

Why don't demo products in your store have a timer script for a few minutes? Any user of the SL world can very easily bypass the timer script. To do this, it is enough to teleport to a location in which it is forbidden to use the script.

Some users consider you rude and say that you are bad. This is true? I don't drink alcohol, I don't smoke, I don't take drugs, I don't go to clubs. I do not betray friends and acquaintances, I do not set them up and I always try to encourage them morally. Some users just don't tell you the details of why they got this or that answer from me. My answers are divided into two types: 1. I answer directly. I'm not hiding anything. 2. I reflect the attitude towards me. I don't like familiarity from people I don't know. If my answers seem rude to you, do not use slang and write as clearly as possible. Because I don't understand the slang of foreigners and may not take it the way you originally wanted to express your opinion.

Is it true that you don't help newbies? I have written articles for those who want to understand the world of SL. But I am not in the business of teaching newbies to personally work with this virtual world. So yes, it's true. I don't teach newbies. Those who have the desire and who want to be self-taught go through this path independently. To other newbies, I do not help in the study of various resources personally.

Do I have to believe any gossip behind your back? If you do not know me personally and we have not communicated for many years, as well as those who spread negative rumors behind my back - it is up to you personally to decide.

Will you ever have a permanent inworld store? If one day LL will change their mind and start giving at least a little land to each user and there will be no limit on functions - maybe.

Why do you rarely take part in events? Let's put it this way: when you are a seller in the virtual world and you are engaged in creating content for events, you are constantly living from event to event and developing items for this takes a lot of time. As a result, you may not be able to withstand it mentally and physically. Your health is starting to deteriorate. Are you willing to pay that price? I personally do not want to sacrifice more of my health for this.

Do you have any plans for the future? I plan to keep communication with users to a minimum so that no one writes that I am negative (when in fact I am simply expressing my personal opinion). I don't have the ability to hire a manager and train him or her to deal with the clientele and ask them to always show the utmost courtesy even when the user is being very aggressive. I am not a master at expressing my thoughts beautifully, sometimes I resemble a robot.

Could you do something to order? No, I'm not an expert on this. Sometimes I create something banal, but only in those cases when I myself propose the creation of this or that content. And I am not doing this for SL.

If someone caused you negative emotions, how do you feel about this or that person? Depends on the situation. I can discuss that person for a long time and if I am under strong emotional influence, I can even curse that person. It is not interesting to chase someone. It can take several hours, a week or several months. It depends on how strong emotions that person caused.

How do you deal with negative reviews? Negatively. I am depriving the merchant of further support from me because of his or her unwillingness to ask questions in person or because of their inattention. Most often, they spoil the reviews without reading the product description and duplicate it in a negative review. In rare cases, these are "creators" who consider me a competitor and simply spoil the review, owners of slander behind my back, and those who believe that I will change the product and thank them for spoiling the review instead of a personal appeal. I do not send the corrected version of the product in this case and write that they are deprived of any help from my side. Since they think it's a waste of time to write to me personally to fix the problem and send them a normal version with my apologies, in that case, I have every right to deal with them as they deal with me. I check products and correct errors. For this, you need to contact me personally. If it really is a mistake on my part, I might even give something as a thank you for the personal touch.

My new fetish and most favorite tool in Blender allows to draw a demo on the object itself using a texture.😆 In general, I enjoy creating DEMOs much more than creating the products themselves. In the past I've thought about creating a whole collection of demos for laughs.

However, demos are now actually available to test the product. After all, the prices in the inworld store have been increased.

This is the best opportunity to simply test the thing.

You just see how many times the "demo" is repeated. This is fantastic!

However, in any case, the demo version is only a modified texture, not the product itself.

In SL, the location did not exist for long, so I want to say the following: buying inworld is again not relevant due to the lack of land. In other words, you will not find the old location.

In Sansar, I reduced the virtual store, realizing how many limits there are, unlike SL. The store can be redone again and again because of some things I don't like. So, all things in Sansar are sold through the Discord channel and the virtual inworld store.

Items for sale in Sansar inworld:

Kawaii glasses

Harajuku mask (an old remake)

Tamagotchi earrings

NPC dog

The world of Sansar still lacks good functions, for example, a notecard. So instead, I simply add a link through the product description or script.

I'm tired of being told how and what to sell. White goods can really be tinted. However, I want to remind you that usually tinting gives a dirty and not beautiful texture at the same time when you can draw something beautiful, colored. I removed products from the marketplace so that newbies wouldn't spoil my mood and try to dictate who and what should create which textures.

My products allow tinting in most cases. Moreover, some items will have references to texture templates available. This means that the owner of the product will be able to draw his/her own texture with various details. And in some cases, you will also be able to resell the product.

I don't know how many months have passed, but my interest in Second Life is minimal to date. This is due to the fact that there is still a copybot in SL. Nevertheless, I am still partly interested in the events in the virtual world of Second Life.

I want to say the following: the introduction of PBR materials and the possible tracking of movements through a webcam are great ideas. It is also a great idea to update the first classic avatar from LL. I don't know what the new shape editor will look like and what exactly will happen to the initial SL avatars, because I don't know the details. However, this may be a great step for the development of this virtual world.

I only hope that these news are real and in the future we can really get something so new and modern.

In my opinion, it would also be a good idea to separate the users of the Second Life world so that female or any other avatars who are interested in traveling, shopping and creating new images for blogs do not receive messages with offers of sex.

So far, no one has included me in the lists of Ukrainian creators from the SL world, so I can basically say that there is a possibility that the people on that list are not representatives of my country, like those who created the list.

I am a Ukrainian, I was born, grew up and live on the territory of this country. I am going through different situations, starting from February 24, 2022 - from the very morning, the sounds of explosions and gunshots were heard in my city. Across from me there was a firefight between the occupier and the soldiers. The occupier killed a peaceful civilian who was going to work. I had nothing to aim at the occupier, so I just watched the situation and could not do anything.

I survive because of the cold, the lack of hot and sometimes cold water, spending part of my time in the dark without any communication. Sometimes we are really lucky and they turn on the electricity. Sometimes they give us heating, but the heating does not warm me at all. I type with icy cold fingers. Without heating, it feels cold here, as if you are outside.

Over the years, I occasionally create Ukrainian content - bracelets, embroidery, Ukrainian wreaths. However, despite the fact that I always had Ukrainian attributes, I was not included in the list of Ukrainian creators. Despite the fact that I indicated in my profile that I am a representative of Ukraine even before the start of the war.

One of my friends also belongs to Ukraine. I don't know about his current fate, because we stopped communicating due to lack of common topics for conversation. No one added him to the list of Ukrainian creators either. He is belongs to a city that was recently liberated from the occupiers.

Some of my acquaintances, who are also representatives of Ukraine, are also not listed in that "Ukrainian" list.

Creators from that list have not created any Ukrainian paraphernalia since the beginning of their existence in the world of SL. They did not draw the texture of Ukrainian embroidery. They did not create bracelets. They did not create any Ukrainian flag. They did nothing to support Ukraine. But they ended up in the "List of Ukrainian creators in SL".

Long before the start of the war, I wrote that I was a representative of Ukraine. They didn't have a single word about it in their profiles.

First I drew the texture and then I created the elevator and placed the textures. This elevator is entirely and completely created from one texture and 3 shader textures.

🙂

I also wanted to participate in the creation of characters… Or rather, NPCs. Despite the lack of electricity for 2, 4, and sometimes even 8 hours, I created a dog. The dog was created using a cube and the following modifiers: subdivision surface, mirror. The dog is divided into several materials for the possibility of texturing each separately. You can make different spots, different eyes. You can also resell the dog. However, only the 1000 Sandex versions are available for resale.

The dog was created over several days, textured. I spent about 3 days creating animations and various textures.

Cheshire dog:

Sea cyborg:

When I first started working with my business, I did not expect that in the future I would become as rude as them.

In the beginning of my work with goods, I spent the funds I earned from many hours on sploders to download certain items, which I decided to make a free gift for their group.

They had rules that I followed. They wrote that creators can offer gifts to their group from their location. They wrote to whom to contact with this offer. And when I approached them, I received rudeness from their side "And why should we accept a gift from your store? Do you know how many stores offer us gifts?". After I wrote "You yourself wrote that everyone can contact you" and received rudeness. Because my store is not well-known, they refused to advertise the gift I offered. Greed and the desire to be famous is what drives the administrators of that group.

They had another rule - someone else can advertise your store. so I asked one person to advertise in their group. Admins blocked that person for advertising. Although we did not break the rules.

In the past I have used hair from the Monster store in SL. I was part of a paid group from which I received gifts for a long time, until one day I read information about copybot from a store.

The creator of that store wrote that someone made a copybot of his hair, and then after some time he contacted me personally and began to demand from me to advertise his store. He threatened me personally that he would go to Linden Lab and write that I'm a copybot, even though I'm not, lol.

He did not compensate me for the moral damage with money and did not try at all to atone for his own guilt.

In the description of one of the products, I indicated only 1 author of the hair, and did not indicate him. There were two images with different hair and I decided to point out where you can get the free hair instead of the other one that costs money.

I want to remind creators like him that you have to pay for any advertising. The creator of the "Monster" store was wrong in that he did not offer me to pay for the advertising that he demanded from me. I am not obliged to advertise any store for free.

I paid to join his group. I paid for that hair. However, if he wanted me to list his store, he would have to pay me to advertise his store. But he didn't do it. Instead, he started threatening me, which is why I no longer buy his products at all.

Because no one has the right to force others to advertise their stores. And also threatening you for not writing the brand name, lol.

Several users of the SL world have accused me that the textures of my goods do not look the same as on the vendors. Screenshots from the world of SL are on my vendors. I use the Black Dragon viewer to create images.

What affects the display of textures and why they look different for some users:

Video card.

Monitor(screen).

Adjusting the contrast and other elements in the viewer, which is used to enter the SL.

Cord for headphones. Non-rigged as many other things from my shop. You will find the item with Anubis headphones. The cord is good for snapshots only.

I also want to show you the old version with mobile phone development.

Now there is a new version of the mobile phone, a different model:

This version with a phone got a cord around the neck.

Individual users like Japanese-style items that are occasionally found in Harajuku.

The eyepatch on the head is made in the style of Japanese street fashion and repeats the standard shape of the head XRezo.

The nasal cannula is also designed specifically for this head and can be combined with an eyepatch.

Items non-rigged mesh. Copy and Modify.

If you want to be stylish in difficult times, you are offered a face mask.

And this:

XRezo head already has teeth, which are a solid drawn texture. However, there is now a version with more or less realistic teeth of various types.

These are 3D teeth. Textures are included so you can make your own mods and sell them. Attention: the textures of the teeth are the same, mirrored.

The set also includes a special series:

And also for lovers of individual things:
