As you may know, I love scripting. Last Halloween, I made up some RLV traps to scatter around the build for the unwary. One was a giant skeletal hand that popped out of the ground and grabbed the unsuspecting victim hehehe. I though you might be interested to see how the basis of RLV scripting […]

Script preprocessing
As you may know if you’ve read my “About Blue” page, I love writing scripts to get objects to do things in-world. It’s one of the reasons I joined SL, to discover what I could do with a new and interesting programming language. So, you get the occasional technical article on the blog. Feel free […]
Jennifer
Or “How I got my shape right for my new Bento head” 🙂 I’ve been watching the revolution in Bento with keen interest.

I use projector lights nearly exclusively, and in combination with the Windlight settings and the Advanced Lighting Model and a good graphics card, you can get some stunning effects. I’ve barely scratched the surface of what’s possible, but I […]
Most of this is free
I was talking to someone today about this blog, and they said they loved it, and that Aeon and I are doing a wonderful job, but then they asked me from out of left field “How do you afford all the outfits?” After getting over my surprise, I told them that most of the outfits […]

Tutorial – Making simple stockings
This is a quick lesson on how to make high stockings with one simple texture upload. First, let’s create a texture. I needed black stockings for my outfit so we will create a 256×256 pixel transparent image in The Gimp and bucket fill it with black at 40% opacity: Save this as a PNG file […]
