Just a quick update for the few of you out there who might be interested. I’m not much around in Second Life anymore. I had a lot of fun in the closed beta for meshes (“real” 3D object use for Second Life) and I was firmly planning on a new and vastly improved series of avatars. I happily learned new skills to be prepared for this: I’m striving for professional level 3D modeling and a lot of other things to reach a new level in my hobby of creating furry 3D characters. With Linden Labs dragging their feet with the release of the mesh feature, I realized how much fun high-end 3D modeling is. Nowadays I spend most of my furry hobby time in Maya, learning and learning and learning.

I might return to Second Life some day, if it survives long enough to release the mesh feature to everybody. In the meantime, I’ll continue to explore how far I can get with high quality 3D. I hope to be able to post some previews of my work soon, first a redesign of my own character, then maybe other ones, too.

It might be a while though: first life takes me around the planet again currently - stressful but fun times. But I'm alive and working harder than ever in what little spare time I have on that whole furry thing which is so silly, and so much fun.
