I apologize for lack of news and posts, etc. I’m too busy doing stuff to write about doing stuff. I don’t know how regular bloggers do it. Anyway! I’m NOT dead. The Red Panda is NOT dead. I have been sucked into a few mod projects, some quick little dinky side projects… And they have […]
The Dolphin Riding System is a dual swimmer, for the 3D Menagerie Dolphin (Basic or Deluxe), and a human avatar, created by Catten Carter of Needful Things. See it here on the marketplace: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Dolphin-Riding-System/15544048 This is only for use in Linden water. It is adjustable, so it should work with the Baby Dolphin avatars. If […]
I got some videos done for the Dolphin… on the last 2 days of my “vacation” :X This is the playlist. Including… How to safely unpack the Dolphin and get that pesky no-copy Discount Card out of it. How to wear and use your Deluxe Dolphin Add-ons. How to use the swimmer, and some gratuitous […]
OMG, I need a vacation!!! I just loaded my in-world vendor with the Dolphin Boxes. Didn’t do the marketplace yet. Didn’t do the Baby yet. The Baby is ready to go, I just need to get photos and do box art and OMG, it’s time to cook dinner…! MANY MANY THANKS to Catten Carter, ferret […]
Well, while I’m STILL working on the Dolphin QA for release, I had some time to polish up the baby dolphin avatar. No longer “Frankenbaby” with lumpy long head, and disjointed flippers (though its head still explodes with the expression animations)… I can now start calling the poor thing by its name KeKai! Sadly, my […]
I have purchased my in-world vendor system by Old Newman’s Script Concepts, which will allow me to implement my discount and upgrade ideas. The plan is this: every avatar will have a 25% discount coupon with it. (Except free ones.) If you buy a Basic avatar, and then want to upgrade to a Deluxe version, […]
After some tweaking to get them to lay closer to the skin… The Deluxe Dolphin will have an optional tattoo layer. For things like special markings, scars, glowing runes, and flashing neon signs that say “Eat At Joe’s” or stuff :X ANYTHING! The melon and sides are set up for animating textures. The top, bottom, […]
No, not done YET. I am 99.9% done with all the animations. This does not include the falling animation, which I really, REALLY want(need) to re-do. Oh, and according to my notes, I need to fix the Sit animation. So make that 99.8% done. It also does not include adding a tweak to the Wink […]
Well! I got through 11 days of my “40 days left” schedule. Then realized I didn’t leave any room for 2D art assets. Oops. (“Unforseen Disasters”? Maybe…) Today I re-totalled everything I have left to do… and got 52 days. :/ Well, you know the first schedule was REALLY optimistic… I was a little more […]
It was now version 20 of the Dolphin. I decided to go ahead and add in some of the face bones that I had considered ‘optional’ at the start. Since the jaw was screwed up due to the presence of the lower lip center, I thought I should be careful and put all the head […]
