How do you create a proportionate body shape in Second Life? Are there any rules?
Second Life is a virtual world where users can create and customize their avatars, which are graphical representations of their character within the world. Creating an avatar with realistic proportions can be a bit complicated, as there are many options and possibilities for customization.
A good general rule is to follow the proportions of real human bodies, as these are the proportions that most people are used to seeing and perceiving as natural. In general, the proportions of the human body can be divided into three sections: head, torso, and limbs.The head should be about one-eighth of the total body height, the torso about half, and the limbs should be about three-quarters. There are also some specific proportions to consider, such as the length of the arm relative to the length of the chest, or the width of the shoulders relative to the length of the torso.
In Second Life there is a shape editor where you can modify the appearance of your avatar, such as the length of the arms, the size of the head, the length of the legs, etc. You can adjust these parameters using the shape editor to get a proportionate body shape.
You can also use already created avatar models, using this as a base to create a custom avatar.
In general, creating an avatar with realistic proportions requires a bit of patience and experimentation. I recommend using references to the proportions of real human bodies to help create an avatar that looks natural and believable.

“My Immortal” is a song by the American rock band Evanescence. It was released as the third single from their debut studio album, “Fallen,” in 2003. The song was written by the band’s lead vocalist, Amy Lee, and lead guitarist, Ben Moody. It is a piano-based power ballad with a strong emotional component and is considered one of Evanescence’s signature songs. The lyrics to “My Immortal” deal with the theme of loss and grief and the song has been interpreted as being about the death of a loved one. It has been well received by critics and has been a commercial success, reaching the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart and being certified 4x Platinum in the United States.
Yesterday, filmmaker Tiara Ashleypublished a music video for “My Immortal” entirely within the virtual world of Second Life. Despite the limitations of working within a virtual world, Ashley was able to capture the emotional essence of the song and create a visually stunning and evocative video.
One of the key challenges in creating a video in Second Life is the fact that all of the characters and environments are computer-generated, which can make it difficult to create a sense of realism. However, Ashley overcame this limitation by using a variety of camera angles and visual effects to create a sense of depth and immersion.
The video features a virtual version of Amy Lee, the lead singer of Evanescence, as she sings and plays the piano in a beautiful, haunted-looking mansion. The video also includes other virtual characters who represent the memories and emotions associated with the song’s theme of loss and grief.
Overall, Ashley’s “My Immortal” video is a testament to the power of storytelling and the ability to create emotionally powerful experiences within a virtual world. Despite the technical challenges involved, the video is full of emotion and is a fitting tribute to the original song.
A metaverse is a virtual world that is created by the convergence of multiple virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) environments. It is a shared, immersive space that allows users to interact with each other and with digital objects and experiences in real-time. The concept of a metaverse has been around for decades and has been popularized by science fiction novels and movies.
Second Life is a virtual world that was launched in 2003. It is a 3D online platform that allows users to create, connect, and chat with each other using avatars. Second Life is not a VR or AR environment, but rather a platform that is accessed through a computer or mobile device. Users can explore different virtual environments, create and sell virtual goods, and participate in a variety of activities within the platform.
So, can Second Life be the future metaverse? It is possible, but there are a few factors to consider.
One of the main differences between a metaverse and Second Life is the level of immersion. While Second Life allows users to interact with each other and digital objects in a virtual environment, it is not as immersive as a true VR or AR metaverse. In a metaverse, users can physically move and interact with their surroundings, while in Second Life, users can only move their avatars and interact with objects through their computer or mobile device.
Another factor to consider is the level of integration with the real world. A metaverse is meant to be a bridge between the virtual and real worlds, allowing users to seamlessly interact with both. Second Life, on the other hand, is a completely separate virtual world that is not directly connected to the real world.
Finally, the future of the metaverse is likely to be driven by advances in VR and AR technology. While Second Life has a large and active user base, it may be difficult for it to compete with newer platforms that offer a more immersive and integrated experience.
In conclusion, while Second Life has been a pioneer in the virtual world space, it is unlikely to become the future metaverse. The metaverse of the future will likely be a convergence of VR and AR environments that offer a more immersive and integrated experience. However, Second Life and other virtual world platforms may still have a place in the metaverse of the future as a destination for users to interact and participate in virtual activities.
“When I joined Second Life in 2007 a new world opened for me, because I never played games or joined any social network site.
Second life was best of both worlds, at least for me and I am sure for many others.
After creating little Maloe, my Barbie doll, my pixel soul, I discovered the possibility of making snapshots and I started to make a graphic diary of Maloe’s journey in Second Life,
showing the emotions she experienced in this pixel world.
I think I succeeded in doing this by using some post processing in Photoshop.
I am not a woman of many words, I try to express myself, my feelings, my passion and probably my dark side through my pictures.” – Maloe Vansant
I think the best wish you can give someone during the Christmas season is to have the ability to look at Christmas through the eyes of a child. And that’s how each candle becomes a star, and the golden angel at the top of the tree is no longer just a decoration but an absolute angel.
Happy Christmas!
Buon Natale!
Credo che l’augurio migliore che si possa fare a qualcuno durante il periodo di Natale è di avere la capacità di guardare il Natale attraverso gli occhi di un bambino. Ed è così che ogni candela diventa una stella, e l’angelo dorato in cima all’albero non è più solo una decorazione ma un angelo per davvero.
