Again, read my follow-up post, I think it gives a better sense of my “take” on change.

Those constraints would rule out just about all change, and definitely many of the improvements to SL that have already happened. Graphics improvements could be argued to marginalize those with less capable hardware, or even to put SL photographers without the latest hardware out of business… but compare snapshots from early on with snapshots now. Should everyone have been deprived of those improvements?

Phptoshop (3Ds) is out there for centuries. GIMP (Blender) is a pretty powerful free tool.

90 percent of all textures in SL are either ripped from somewhere, stolen by copybots or illegally replicated in any possible way (there are many in SL) or… yes plain ugly, not usable by format alone and whatever.

Poser and Maya are extremely powerful animation tools, on a highly professional level, and there are several powerful free tools out there. How come tha 90 percent of all running animations in SL are robotic, crappy, sluggish, ripped, illegally replicated, trash. How come?

There are hundreds of free sound editors out there. How come that all i hear is a “WOHHHOOOHOOOO..here comes the wolf” or some birds chirping? Ten seconds aren#t that bad at all to fill them with something senseful.

Yes, there are a few people on this planet who actually create excellent animations, excellent textures, excellent sounds. A few. A very, very few. And i doubt that more than 10 percent of them can make some REAL money with their SL activities at all.

Mesh will go exactly the same way. SL will be flooded by plain trash which will be replicated, ripped, stolen and ripped again.Badly done crap which will mess up an already messed up environment in the same way as any other imported trash does mess it up right now. And a very few people will contribute something really, really great, which will get buried under piles of useless, ininspirational, offending and totally illegal trash.

It´s not the tool, it´s the people using the tools. Maya, Photoshop, Poser, GIMP, whatever, are not bad tools or not capable.

Sl is the most hostile environment for any kind of serious content creation, for a number of valid and logical reasons. And MEsh imports will definately NOT change this. As proven impressively by the past.

And this brainless “video” reflects exactly what LL thinks of any kind of serious content creation. Thinks about SL and thinks about their cfustomers.

“Deal with it”.

One day they´ll wake up and, yeah. Someone has dealt with THEM.

nah this point is crazy talk…. guilds are fine, and a needed tool when markets are out of balance.

craftsmen have every right to allow or not allow their works (ip) to be editable/ sellable/ or not.

this point you keep making -makes no sense.. prims in Sl are also non editable by choice when used as transactional objects of value.

the only protectionism i see is Lindens protecting its bottom line “tech chic factor” short term with very little concern for the value fo the works of the so called “residents”…

the import/ DRM/CMT of external formats /meshes should have been dealt with 6 years ago/ espeically with the interest then of corporate clients and budgets to support autodesk and others professional tools. but that would have been too logical and “fair” to larger economic issues ..

again, untill DRM and IP rights can be controlled and properly accountable, all of this is just a giant web2.0 steal it now before the cops get us… cluster fck.. by companies like LL on everyone else–but their board.

as the ver missing FIC of 2006 show—even they are not allowed to “really live” at the pyramid with the king…. millions of us..will eventually see that too:)

You know something Draxtor? I hope that young Egyptian learning Blender while he sits in an Internet cafe *takes your jobs away from you*. I hope he EATS YOUR LUNCH.

2. ColeMarie, you’re my new girlfriend.

3. Vivienne, you are not. If you were a nasty in the Sims Online, ugh, too.

4. Melissa, there isn’t any “protectionism” in criticizing what is in fact the *protectionism of the new Mesh FIC*. THAT is the protectionism, making a guild class of craftsmen whose products can’t even be edited.
