Stumbled on this spiffy video experiment that blends RL video and SL.

We had a great time Collabricating today. :) It was very interesting to see what happens when we (try to ) ignore our habits of having full control over our creations. About a dozen adventurous souls showed up and contributed their Circular ideas. Particles were popular today, as well as kinetic pieces and the glow feature.

Thanks to everyone who came by - and remember that there is another session scheduled for tomorrow (Sunday the 31st) at 5 pm SL time. See ya there! :D

A quick reminder that we’ll be Collabricating today at 11am SLT. :)  Come on by and join the experiment. The theme today is Circles.

“What I’d like to do is set up a regular event where people are encouraged to create together in a positive, free form environment. We’ll pick a theme, start building, and see what comes into being. Who knows, we might even learn something in the process. :) All skills levels will be welcome. All that you need to bring are your building, scripting, texturing, and other skills along with a willingness to cooperate and interact.”

I’ve set up a Collabricate group so that we can share what we are building on without fussing around with the friends list. IM me (Vlad Bjornson) for an invite or a TP to the event. See ya there. :)

Another video for the easily amused: Fluttersphere. 101 physical, flapping butterflies. Supposedly my attempt to test SL’s new sim server software (v1.24) but really just an excuse for a bit of butterfly overload.

It’ll be rezzed for a couple of days on my sim if you’d like to flutter in for a look-see.

I would like to invite you to join me this weekend for an experiment in collaborative, real time building. Collabricate!

I’ve always thought that the interactive 3d building process was sort of under used in SL. It’s really cool that we can create interactively in a 3D environment with multiple people from around the globe - but we usually end up building in seclusion on some remote platform.

All that you need to bring are your building, scripting, texturing, and other skills along with a willingness to cooperate and interact.

Right now I am thinking that spreading it across two days will give more people a chance to get in-world and participate. I’ll have some more details as the weekend approaches.

Saturday and Sunday August 30th and 31st at my sim: Sunset Myst. We’ll be building from 11am - 1pm (SLT) on Saturday and 5 - 7pm on Sunday. Please leave suggestions and ideas in the comments, or send ‘em my way in-world. Hope to see ya there!
