New Avatars Seen on Campus

A lot of new faces have been seen lately working on Case's very own Second Life experience. Although the time spent on the project has been relatively short for everybody, there have been a lot of good things going on.
Paul Carpool has brought in a new aspect of mapping texture with the use of Blender Importer. The packages he used along with Second Life can be foundhere. Detailed instructions on his work
CraigR Becker's main focus has been on a working scoreboard for a soccer field and scripting and building new items for the upcoming Halloween Party(November 2nd 9:00 - 11:00 pm). The scoreboard changes on the fly as a goal is scored for either team and counts up to 9.
He has also been busy working on Halloween costumes. He created this "candle" lighting effect for the inside of a carved pumpkin.
Ghoti Stenvaag's focus has also been on creating Halloween costumes. With the use of invisiprims, he was able to manipulate the physical appearance of an avatar by "hiding" normal prims with the invisiprims.
Fraiser Cale is currently in the progress of implementing a lab for Chem 113 students which could be taken through Second Life. Actual lab instructions that will be seen in a thinkbook in SL will be up once they are approved.
Of course Kazarko Kasei is busy as well. She is spending time making a prim cape which will flow fluidly with movement. An inventory script has also been created which is much easier to newcomers in SL. In this script, when the object of focus is touched, all of the contents will be moved automatically into the user's inventory.
Come back soon to learn more about the exciting things being accomplished!
