Raul Crimson’s experiences in Second Life®
Spelling
I’d like to share with you all this. Is a video i made of one of my latest works.
Is a 3D object i made for Vain Inc Gallery (SLurl), you can find more info about the gallery in some older posts. The theme this month was Muse.
I really love SLphotography, but at the same time i feel a bit limited in it. This time wanted to explore more techniques. We live in a 3D world (well actually in two 3D worlds) so… why not to make something animated?
Also words are important for me, in SL we communicate by words mainly, because the physical language is limited to gestures. Words are important also in this work, how they appear, how they transform in other words… The Muse is expressed by words, by whispers, by spellings…

Some days ago i saw this really fun video of The Guild with a song parodying MMOs, well in this case WOW, but is totally adaptable to SL as you can see in the fun version of Lowe Runo below.
Lyrics are really fun, in The Guild video, the dances and the attitude of [...]

Sometimes you can be upset, tired, bored… Sometimes you wonder why you are still in Second Life… then you see a video like this one, and you remember why you are here, what you love here…
This machinima by Sam Lowry made me smile and remember one of the reasons i have to love Second Life, [...]
My “art” debate: selling or not selling
about 1 year ago - No comments
Some days ago, in a conversation with some friends, someone said: “Art Galleries are the new Sex Clubs, Casinos or Banks of Second Life”. Of course who said that was not meaning Art Galleries were a scam or something, just that someway, there are a lot of Galleries, like one new every week. Not small [...]

As you may know i’m one of the “Resident Artists” in Vain Inc. Gallery (SLurl). Well, i’m not sure about using the word “artist” to define myself but that is another story and i posted about that before (and possibly i will post more about that).

Torley is awesomazing our experience… or something like that

I want to say it, i’m a big fan of Torley.
Lately some “critics” against Torley appeared in blogs, forums and other places. They criticise his apparent… how to say it?… “fake happiness”. He wrote a really interesting post about that.
I’m not writing this post because i think he needs a defense or something, as you [...]
Blowing houses

Actually this is one of the funniest things to do in Second Life.
Well, not really, but anyway is a fun thing to do, specially because it relaxes a lot. Just rezz your house and blow it!!!
Thanks to Havok 4 (the new physical engine on Second Life servers) it works pretty good, not adding [...]

Machinima is growing a lot in Second Life, and that’s a good thing. After Flickr opened the possibility of posting video a lot of people is experimenting and trying new things. Flickr, as a place to share creativity, helped a lot of people (including myself) to learn and explore with SLphotography, and now is doing [...]

Hey Raul,
I saw this when I was with Kham at the gallery last week. I think it’s great you’re trying to push SL photography forward in interesting directions. There were a couple of things about this I wasn’t sure about, for example the font I didn’t like much, a bit Christmasy? Also, the scripted movement could do with being smoother perhaps. But overall, I applaud the concept and hope you keep experimenting with this as there is a lot of potential.

Thanks, Arahan. Is always good to see some points sometimes one can’t see. Yes, you are right about the font, about the movement, well, i presume it can be a bit smoother adding more “snapshots” to the animation. The more exciting thing about that was to experiment, this experimentation and this comments are the ways to learn more and try to go further.
