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 […]
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 […]
Okay, I have made my (always over-optimistic) calculations on how much work is left to do on the Dolphin Project. As of 5/3/18, and taking into account sick days and days labeled “Unforseen Disasters,” the total number of working days to completion is….. 40. Good news! On day 1, I completed my tasks of FlyUp, […]
The Dolphin is almost done… relatively speaking, that is. The model is done (except some tweaking), the texture is done (except some tweaking), the animations aren’t done… and some stuff is wonky that needs fixing. (Those eyelids, I’m gonna end up ripping those off and using prim eyelids!!!) But I am excited! Why? Because I […]
