About DCS

Hi, a Karate weapon for DCS was finally completed.

I will show it soon, and I will make a new shop only for DCS users.
Because it seems to cause confusion when I put the tools of the different use in the same place.

DCS users, expect it and please wait.

By the way, I write about DCS today.
At first, it was an opportunity that DCS was introduced by an American man.
He said to me."You should make the Karate weapon for DCS"
I asked him."What is DCS ?"
He gave me teleport.

This plase was "DARK CITY", SIM for DCS.
I knew "DCS" means "Dynamic Combat System".
The combat in "DARK CITY" was very exciting. And I made up my mind to make an karate weapon for DCS.

In DCS, members use the HUD that display numerical value such as health or the stamina.And values(strength ,concentration, etc.) also forms a line in the screen upper part.

I heard that SIMs for DCS are over 30, and over 5,000 peaple play there.
DCS is not only combat system but also RPG system.So, they do not always fight, usually enjoying role playing.

To start DCS, we should go to Resource Center of DCS.Jarang (143, 213, 377)

Signboards of SIM for "DCS" are displayed there.

HUD or weapons of "the DCS" are sold over there.

It is a 1st step to get them to start DCS.

I went to the "Roman Empire"SIM. The Roman Empire (5, 127, 30)Because I who liked the history was interested in the SIM.

I picked a quarrel recklessly.

I have been ruined by a sword a lot.
My health became only 16%.

It is very difficult to win the battle in DCS.

Priority and Permission

Hi, I'm now making Karate weapon for DCS.

Yesterday, I edited my all karate animations those are sold at shops in SL, and in SLEX and shop OnRez.

I changed
1, I made the priority of all animattions "4".
2, I made the permission of all animattions "modify OK".

You know, we should configure the priority of animation when we upload BVH file.
Sometimes I have set it 3, because there are no problems to enjoy only watching animations.
but recently, many peaple purchase my Karate animations to make weapons for combat.

In many combat sysytems, player uses arrow buttons for avator's motion.
At this time, if the priority of Karate animation is low, walking motion delete the Karate animation.

So, I changed the priority "4".

And to make weapon with Karate animations, they want to change the file name.
So, I made the "modify" permission OK.

I think that the karate animations became the convenient materials to make a weapon.

We can understand if talk with.

Hi, recently I have got a lot of IM from the people who are not Japanese.
Needless to say, they chat in English.

I usually read them when they are not in SL, because there is difference in time.
Because I am troublesome, I ignored them in a beginning, but recently I intend to challenge to reply and talk.

For about a month I have talked with various foreigners.
And I knew that I tend to profit by the conversation , though it began with a very simple IM.
I am poor at English, but after chatting hard,I can see the thing which the partner wants.
When I prepare it after a few hours, the partner often purchases it with thanking me.

Many peaple often say " you should enjoy second life as community ".
But I have thought to enjoy only selling my animations because my English is limited.

But nealy I communicate many foreigners, I feel that fun of the second life is to communicate with persons of the different culture.

So, you can use it after drag and drop to your avator.

The Number of Residents Logged-In

Hi, it's very cold, is't it?
But in SL, it's very hot before X'mas.

Total Residents of SL increased 11,476,426 ,today.
But they say that there are many people who log in only 1time, because they cannot find what to do.
So, I have been interested in the change of the number of Residents Logged-In.
At this page we can see the numbers of "Residents Logged-In During Last 7,14,30,60 Days".
(I think numbers will be ones of unique users)

But I could not find the graph of the change of them.
(If you know about it, please teach me.)

I have begun to write down numbers of "Population" of the page in Excel from the latter half of September.
*I think the points falling greatly are influence of maintenance in SL.

Seeing it, numbers increase from the latter half of October to November, but become about the same with numerical value three months ago when December begins.

Because the age group of most users seems to be 30 generations, the number of the login may fall in the time when work is busy.

Total Residents ;
07/09/24 ; 9,686,1
07/12/18; 11,457,044
They increase by about 18%.

This increase rate should be just reflected to the number of the login.
Well, almost people may be so busy now.

Sculpted Prim by LightWave3D (2nd)

Today,Iexplain about sculpted prim made by LightWave3D.
A finished product is the lights tower in the image below.
I like the shadow chopped in structure very much.
I looks photograph-like, but it is not a photograph.

At first, , make an object by LightWave, and set surface by node editer that was added from LW9.0.

After the appearance became good feeling, render it by "surface baking camera".




Then the following texture was made.

Next, render the sculpt image by using the plugin of LW.
It is easy to make this, because the work can be done immediately after making surface.

Well, look at the step before rendaring.
The most important thing to make sculpt prim is editting a UV map adequately.

By default, the UV map of this object is below.
Seemingly I seem to be orderly, but there is a protruding part.
In addition, it is hard to find it, but, the top and base round surfaces are in linearity state at top and the base of the map.

Widen these and edit it, not to protrude ,not to have blanks.
At last, make it a triangle polygon by Ctrl+T.

Notice, making triangle polygon is the last work, because edittig becaome defficult after it.

Aftre them, the final map is below.
I do not think this is perfect, but think that the point where I minded was not wrong because I was able to make the shape that I thought.
