FaeJInx Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 In SecondLife, the newest sensation is making basic "pasty" avatar pictures, come "alive" - by the use of photo programs. Any idea of how this is accomplished? I've attached two "REAL" photos versus one "undone," pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrddin Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Hello FaeJInx. Two things I wish to bring to your attention: 1) you should have noticed that you're posting in a section titled 'Tutorials - Publishing Only'. If you have an ordinary question to ask, the General Discussion & Questions section is the place to post. Alternatively, one of the image umbrellas in the Pictorium if thr category fits the request (again, do not create a new topic). 2) This is family-friendly forum. We have members as young as 10 years old frequenting this forum. The example images you have posted are not appropriate for their youthful eyes, and this is not exclusive to the younger member neither. A digesting of the Rules would have highlighted this to you (in this case, [rule=12]Rule #12[/rule])You will have to find alternate images to example with. Many thanks. I highly suggest you review the Rules before you post again, just so you're not caught unaware: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=3446 Topic moved to General Discussion & Questions Images removed Quote How to Save Your Images under Different File Types My dA Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I'll need some examples, since I only know what SL is from a movie. Clean examples btw . ^^ Quote •♪♫♥♫♪• |- The Rules -|- çobblestones -|- CaMo -|- MeTaL -| ╠═╧╨»Φ«╨╤═╣ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaeJInx Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 Obviously what one considers appropriate, versus another, is going to vary significantly. I used what I thought to be tasteful; a bathing suit snapshot, one with a bared midriff and hint of bottom bosom but nothing explicit; and a third one, which probably did cross a line. So, without further ado, let me see if these are more acceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Lol. It can be done. Are they actually using the basic avatar models? Just place it in a photo then and blend, blur, brush away.

FaeJInx Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 Down - Thank you very much for the tips, I'll go through the other tuts. to get a better grip on the tools available and of which you mentioned. It doesn't seem quite so overwhelming, when you have a starting point!! Oma - That was sarcasm, I hope? LOL Everyone is well covered up! Except the male; but who hasn't seen a bared, male chest? Have a great rest of your weekend, to all those who've cared to help in a constructive and kind fashion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david.atwell Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 If someone takes offense, I'll remove it. Why don't you try to find photos of people who are fully clothed?

FaeJInx Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 Part of the reason for picking the pictures which bared a male chest and the legs of a female; is to best show the realism and depth of change between a basic Avatar; and the redone photographs. When looking at the clothing, there does not seem to be much of a difference; it is in the tone of the skin and the definition that is rendered. How that is racy I don't understand; has no child or adult worn shorts or been outside while their father mows the yard? Never been to a beach? Worn a sundress? Heck even President Obama has been plastered across the news on the beaches of Hawaii .. *gasp* shritless and in shorts! A female's legs and a male chest, is offensive? What of these pics .. they are on this site, unlocked, unremoved and without issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
