Seems that the built-in editor of WordPress is quite good at mangling the embedded objects so much, that they almost always become useless! From a working version that displayed correctly under all browsers, it refused to work on Firefox, to slowly degrade to not support any other browser but Safari (one of the least used browsers in the world, but I happen to be one of its regular users!). After much tearing of hair (virtual hair, that is), I simply gave up. There is supposed to be a plug-in to make these things easier, but the ones that I've installed seemed to prefer to invent new and more creative ways of mangling embedded objects, so... you'll just get a plain, old-fashioned link that happens to work :) Ah well. I'm always learning new things! Again, I'm sorry about that. My apologies to everybody who did not manage to see the video.

On the other hand, I'm looking forward to Ventrella's amazing physical avatars first, and we'll see what comes next. By 2010 I hope that LL will be able to implement avatars with hair growth groups and customisable meshes like under Poser 5 :) and morph targets for infinite variation on facial emotions — so you'd basically be able to express *anything*. They can do it easily — the issue is, of course, *performance*. This would be the state-of-the-art of 2004 implemented in SL — so, yes, 2010 is a good date for that ;) Well, the Bedazzle group did get a special client that mapped media textures to avatar’s faces, so we know it’s *possible*.

Why not 2007? Why can't we as a SL community figure out how to plug in software like this, or like that of Logitech's face recog. software, directly into AV facial expressions? 2010, Gwyn?

Check it out. We were playing around with Crazy Talk today and filmed this little piece. Thanks to Gwyneth Llewelyn for reminding us of the video that Moo made using Crazy Talk. Now that we can run Windows on our Mac we’d figure we’d give it a try. Tags [...] [...] Here’s a little behind the scenes video of a new technical development – moving lips! Check it out.
