This is a two prim puppy bed I made. It took an embarrassingly long time to make it, linking the two prims together. Pet beds are something I haven’t seen in Island Oasis and actually might be useful. I’ve made it in about four textures. The puppy here is way too many prims and so it stays in inventory along with two cats. I needed to size the bed so I rezzed the puppy.
I have a copy of the puppy bed in my yard in case anyone’s flying by and wants to pick one up. I pretend the puppy is hiding somewhere instead of being stashed in inventory.
This is a 4 prim bench I made which took quite awhile. It also comes in several different textures. There’s a problem with my AO. When the avatar sits on things, it’s in really wacky poses and when the poses look more normal, the avatar stands up after a few seconds. Anyway when I sit on this bench, the poses are even more awkward. After I took this picture I sat the avatar down and she was totally underground except for her feet and ankles sticking out.
I don’t have the time and interest to figure out why, but maybe something is wrong with this bench besides just being funny looking. Of course anyone may help themselves to a copy of the bench if they want.
I had some items auto-returned to me and they were likely something I lost in the sandbox.
If I made another project, it might be a dog house.
It’s not a problem with your AO, it’s that your AO will over-ride any sit poses after a few seconds… for them to work, you have to turn your AO off, first, then the sit pose will work. Even with good sit poses, the avatar is usually partly in the object. Building stuff in SL is a steep learning curve if you’ve never done it before. Do you know about places like the Ivory Tower Library of Primitives?
Thanks; I haven’t heard of Ivory Tower Library of Primitives, just NCI and Builders Brewery, where I haven’t quit made it to the very basic beginning classes. I want to look into it in January.
In Island Oasis, my AO doesn’t show on the viewer screen. I guess I’ll go into what I’m wearing to take it off. And yeah…..steep learning curve.
Seraphim’s AO has a HUD, which has all it’s controls… is there no HUD with yours? Tacking the AO off seems drastic just to get a sit pose to work.
I logged back into Island Oasis to check it out. My AO does have a HUD and it’s a free one that I picked up at the Mall. For me, this world lets me experience what SL might have been like in the early years.
Anyway, when I turn it off, the sit poses work on the objects that were made by people who know what they’re doing. Even with it turned off, the sit poses are messed up with the bench that I made. I moved the bench and it still doesn’t work and I’m O.K. with that.
When I have time I’ll take classes in SL. Island Oasis looks to be set up for people who have some experience already. I joined because I believe virtual worlds are important and I wonder how long SL will be around.
Thanks for your help!
