Your Taliya

Someone gave me a bow & arrow. I think it was Moto. Anyway, I decided to script it so it would really shoot the arrows. I had to fix the rotations, so the arrows always shoot the direction you are aiming, and the local rotations so that the arrow head is always going away from you. I combined it in a package with my shootable target. You just rez the target. Then wear (ADD) the bow & arrow to your current costume. Next just go into mouselook mode, and click the left mouse button. Your arrow will soar through the air, and hopefully you are a good enough aim to hit the target. You know elves... We love our bows! :)

I've more or less lost interest in OSG these days.
Mainly I have other responsibilities and hobbies now, and I'll hopefully be going back to school after a multi-year break (due to heath issues). I will miss everyone, but I just wanted to say that I appreciate the fun and memories that were made and I'll try to pop back in here and there to say hello even if I'm not really active.
Wishing everyone a great summer!

Full bright avatar or not: Not full bright - no lighting = dark gray.

Part three comparing full bright and normal avatars in the dark.... This is full bright in the dark.

Ok - so I am "well" lit here with being full bright. No shadows = not realistic. Also notice how only I am "lit" - everything else is dark still. Also notice, my white top? No? Oh that would be because its not lit and its in the dark - and colour fades in the dark.......

Full bright avatar or not: Not full bright - with lighting = "illuminated"

Part two comparing full bright and normal avatars in the dark.... This is normal in the dark/midnight setting but with some lights on in the room. Notice that its not just my body that is illuminated but things around me. If I was illuminated but nothing else that would look "odd" Also due to being "lit" there are shadows - no shadows = odd (unless you are lit 360 degrees).

Full bright avatar or not: Not full bright - no lighting = dark gray.

Part one comparing full bright and normal avatars in the dark.... This is normal in the dark with no lighting.

Yes I look very dark and gray. However this is as it should be. When was the last time you saw people walking round at night - illuminated? How bright do you look in RL at night when you are sleeping? Dark in the dark... is what makes sense.
