The Metaverse

Basic boi time in Second Life - from prims to mesh. How to put your art into SL.

It's been a while since we touched the "Metaverse" category within our blog, and we figure to add a tutorial on how to do something that seems mundane at first. This is adding a texture to an object to show off your art in Second Life. But we're going to go at it in the most convoluted way possible. Why do you ask? In part, this is why we learned how to use the 3d software "Blender". By taking very simple shapes and exporting them into something Second Life can use.

I suppose in some respects. These same principles we're about to do could be applied to other engines as well. On top of this. We wanted to start with something that *hopefully* will not make people's heads explode!

Interesting how time flies within a metaverse engine.

For those who have visited my metaverse section, we would admit this area is a little anemic. But watching Mark Zuckerberg pour BILLIONS into Facebook meta only to achieve results that a 2003 engine known as Second Life was able to accomplish. It kind of speaks volumes as to how much of a catastrophic failure his metaverse engine is. To add insult to injury. "The Zucc" had the balls to say that his metaverse is "The first of its kind."

The arrogance of this man is just incredible. He has no idea how much barbeque sauce he could've put on his shelves with that kind of money!

However, time moves in the metaverse differently than it does in reality. Places come and go, and there's never a "Mark" left behind. Well, this blog hopes to share some of that history.

Warnings and disclaimers:

Some of the places and pictures captured may contain adult imagery. It's not hardcore porn. I would disclaimer-wall the fuck out of that. but it can qualify to be right on the border so if you're freaked out by pixelated boobies and bulges promoting their sexual grit. You probably would want to slam that back button. Also, note that because we spent most of our time in furry communities on SecondLife that is the aspect we will be focusing on and doesn't represent the entire metaverse of SecondLife.

Anyhow. read on if you would like a tour of my life within SecondLife.

Unable to compile libBulletSim.so under an ARM environment.

I figured I'll leave this post out here in the hopes of seeing if the net has any ideas as to why libBulletSim.so does not work for OpenSim. I have tried compiling the newest BulletPhysics3 engine as well as OpenSims preferred 2.82 build as well. It has been tried with compiling with and without -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-fPIC" -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-fPIC. both have failed. Here is the screenshot of what the physics engine does when you enable OpenSim.exe with bullet unmanaged.

Welcome Banana Pi to the OpenSim OSGrid:

I decided to open a public region on OSGrid with my Banana Pi. It has been a while since I first posted my article about a working OpenSim Grid on the Raspberry Pi. I figured it was time for a status update as to what is all going on.

The Mindwar product line was my attempt of getting into the avatar making business in Second Life. Understand that these avatars were done around 2007 and sculpts/mesh were not invented as of yet.
