Big Buck Bunny
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Created completely on Blender. What is Blender, you ask? Very similar in what you can do with it to 3D Studio Max, but free. The training is often free. Little Wallaby makes all sorts of interesting stuff for Second Life with it.
My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Thank you for sounding like an idiot first. You saved me the trouble.YANXWIN wrote:Not that I want to be labeled as an idiot, but what is second life?
Of course, we're both asking for someone to save us the trouble of googling it....

Duh. I have time to surf Disney boards for part of the day, but not actually LEARN useful information.

Re: Big Buck Bunny
I'll answer it! Second Life is social-based virtual environment. One might call it an MMO, but there are no "goals", just folks creating avatars, items, and so forth and interacting with each other. I visit regularly, and am actually part of a comedic duo that "plays" backup for some of the on-line singers and DJs.

Sounds like Emuck, only with less imagination required and better graphics.PatchOBlack wrote:Second Life is social-based virtual environment.

You probably can't say anything about SL that I haven't said.
