The thing that really gets me is how well the fully-cranked-to-eleven SL graphics (not to mention the avatars' shapes, animations and costume) recapitulate the aesthetics and pacing of high-end anime. Given the Japanese names of the producers, I assume that was deliberate and conscious.</p>
<p>Makes you wonder when the anime community is going to descend on SL-class VWs en masse and start using them as production environments. As the poster says, any problems here aren't about fundamental graphics, but about avatarics and editing, which is something a reasonably well-funded machinimatography team can throw iterations and camera-viewpoints and custom-written gesture software at until it's perfect. So what seems, in places, a little 'off' actually represents no real barrier to efficient commercial production of high-quality content. Certainly it describes no intrinsic failing of the platform by comparison with the agony and vast expense of conventional, frame-by-frame animation.</p>Ann Otoole InSL commented on 'Cool Music Video Machinima Great Showcase for Next Gen Second Life Graphics'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef014e88190e80970d2011-04-27T03:15:23Z2011-04-27T03:15:23ZAnn Otoole InSLhmmm that is not the article i clicked comments on. sorry. seems an issue with typepad.<p>hmmm that is not the article i clicked comments on. sorry. seems an issue with typepad.</p>Adeon Writer commented on 'Cool Music Video Machinima Great Showcase for Next Gen Second Life Graphics'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef01538e23da35970b2011-04-26T20:22:26Z2011-04-26T20:22:26ZAdeon Writerhttp://www.twitter.com/AdeonWriterYou mean rigged hair?
