Arcana - Windlight Study

I saw this sim featured on another blog called Avatars in Motion, and as I am always looking for cool places to visit and photograph, I am very interested any blogs which featured the landscapes of Second Life.

Below are a selection of photographs I took on Arcana, I noticed there were scripted beams of light in several places in Arcana,and I decided I liked the field locations best. Now, what I really wanted was for the rainbow to maintain its colour blends, in quite a lot of the windlight settings, it just blurred or bleached out, so I had to go for darker colour environments, but I do think they turned out pretty nice and different settings give such an atmosphere to your work.It's almost more fun than fashion...coughs...oops did I say that out loud..

ANI-mate Pose HUD by Vextra Designs

Vextra Messing and Her ANI-mate Pose HUD

One of the groups I am in has had this really super little hud dropped on it's members, since I am moving out of the studio and trying to do more ON-Location shoots, this is a godsend to me. I was very impressed with the ease of the interface and the 100 pre-loaded poses are more than enough to suit most modelling needs.

I cut and pasted this information directly from the Notecard that came with the Hud, one cause I don't wanna type it all again and also cause I don't want to make a mistake somewhere along the line and give you all the wrong information.

All the pictures show poses that come with the hud, but with a 100 poses I just cant show you them all. I did want to show you the interface though and I think you can see it very clearly, only took me a few minutes of pressing buttons to work everything out.
