Lipsynching with Crazy Talk 4
Thanks to moo Money, I was pointed to this amazing piece of software called Crazy Talk 4, which is able to do all sorts of very creative lipsynching, very easily, using just a few pictures uploaded from Second Life (or… well… basically anything, really!). Sadly, this is the sort of company that still believes that the only computer platform that exists in the universe is Windows, but alas, what can…
Poser 5 for free… for a while!
After finishing a 2-month-long marathon to make a “proof of concept” machinima using Second Life for a customer, I just saw this post on the Official Linden Blog. Yes, for four days you’ll be able to get a valid license key of Poser 5 in your name. Although Content Paradise is famous for doing these types of promotions, this is a “one of a kind” type of promotion — Poser…
… and now DAZ|Studio can be used as well!
Beyond Poser for doing SL animations, residents’ choices were limited to Vince Invincible/Vince Plunkett’s most excellent Avimator, a free and open source project targetted to make the whole animation process simple, intuitive, and compatible across all SL-supported platforms: Windows, Mac, Linux.

Alternatives to Poser for importing animations
So, you wish to become an animator, but Poser is too expensive for you? Alternatives on the open source front like Blender are too complex to use? All you want to do is something simple, effective, and easy to learn? Until recently, this was basically impossible. Either you had a top-of-the-line piece of software, and were able to use it effectively, as well as understand how to tweak it for…
Ulrika`s tutorial on animation!
I finally found out the best introduction so far on animation for Second Life using Poser! Thanks for Ulrika for all her trouble in getting this basic tutorial available online! The only extra thing you need to know about animations is letting Poser do the scaling for you, and usually replying that your arms are on the X scale. There are LOTS of animations in BVH over there! I found…
DreamWorks at your home!
Having played around with objects (hard to master), scripting (well even harder really) and clothes design (stupidly simple if you know Photoshop well or something similar; the only hard part is being a good clothes designer. Like in the real world!), I thought I would take a hand at animations… The economy in Second Life is not always easy to follow. Land is bloody expensive. Objects are relatively cheap (around…
