Today I'm going to talk a little bit about about mpHUD, a product from NWN sponsoring partner Shuggles [SLURL] by Shuichi Shinji. In Second Life fashion, HUDs are a somewhat tricky thing. As consumers, we've been a bit spoiled to expect a HUD to navigate even the most minor options a product may have. Although we often don't know much about what it takes to make a good HUD system, we still regularly take them for granted. For multi-talented SL designers, creating a new HUD is mostly just a timesink. For others who may have a world of knowledge about 3D modeling but barely a scrap of scripting know-how a new HUD is just one more expense. Some find a scripter they trust, negotiate a price, communitcate what they want, and hope for the best.
Shuggles' mpHUD gives creators a little more room to breath, particularly if you're looking for highly in-demand functions like resizing or color-changing. You can pick out the specific features you need (or grab the complete bundle) and follow the instructions provided to put together your ideal HUD without spending a tremendous amount of time or L$ in the process. That means more time to design, fewer expenses along the way, and an end to customers complaining about outdated menu-based options.
Swing by Shuggles' in-world location or their Second Life Marketplace storefront to scope out the mpHUD system for yourself.
