Koinup goes to Opensim too

The team of Koinup, a webpage-social network has created a special area for images taken at the different grids using OpenSimulator software. In an old blogpost i was telling my experiences on some of this “other grids”.

Koinup is some like a Flickr for “virtual worlds”, they have areas for Second Life, OpenSim, The Sims, WOW, IMVU, Lively (a world that is actually being closed, anyway they are keeping the images as record), vSide, Kaneva, There and Other Worlds.

Yay!!! One nice prize!!!

Some days ago the Orange Island – Koinup contest of SLphotography has ended and the jury selected my work as one of the Jury Prizes (YAY!!! \o/).

Well, was a nice contest with awesome entries and i know it was a hard work for the jury members. Take a look at the post about this in the Orange Island blog. You will see there the rest of the winners.

The winning photos will be included in an exhibition at La Cantine, a creative, experimental and innovative space dedicated to digital technologies, located in the center of Paris.

SunlightI just can say WOWZA! Great Prize!!! I’d like to say thanks now to the Jury and to the stuff of Orange Island and Koinup.

This prizes were part of the Orange Island Photo Week, a really cool week with a lot of events related to SLphotography organized by the people of Orange Island. Really interesting pannels, specially one about Web Tools like Flickr, Koinup or Snapzilla.

Also great the class about comic made with SLphotography with Nick Rhodes (sadly didn’t had time to do my comic) and well, another quite acceptable class was mine about lighting. ;-)

Hi-Res Snapshots doesn't work for me in Windlight

Yes, they don’t work for me. :-( And that, for a virtual photography lover is not a cool thing.

After posting the problem in the JIRA last december the only answer i had was a note from Torley saying they were closing the “Issue” because they “Need more info”. Anyway, Windlight is now a Release Candidate (actually RC3) and i still have the same problem.

Let my show you the images, so you will see the difference:

Then without moving the cam i took this snapshot in Hi-Res:

This images have no edition, are as they were took from SL.

I don’t know if that’s happening only to some people or to a large number of people, i tried to find another JIRA issue about that and didn’t found one.

If you have the same problem, tell me, please, and if you want to help me, please, vote on JIRA issue #VWR-3711. Thanks.
