I just spent whole evening building a new avatar look. Clothing looks like the most problematic part for me, but hey, it is no different in real life… Now it is possible to export the new avatar into a gif animation. For free at Evolver! Here’s a sample what I got out of it:
Follow the white rabbit... click me!

rexxed.com offers a free service to play your MP3 files which are located somewhere on the web. Any web browser should be able to play them and you can embed the player to your web pages or blog entries.
The player is located at http://www.rexxed.com/services/musicplayer/xspf_player.swf
And it can be used to play playlist files. For example http://www.rexxed.com/services/musicplayer/xspf_player.swf?playlist_url=metal.xspf&autoplay=true&repeat_playlist=true
Where parameters are:
playlist_url = web address to the playlist, can be for example http://yourserver.com/music/mybest.xspf
autoplay = true or false, says whether the music starts to play automatically or if it waits for the user to press play
repeat_playlist = true or false
xspf file format is really simple, take a look at how the files can be written. Here is the full documentation of the music player. Here is the article at Maxping, where you can find out how to play music with this service at your realXtend virtual world.

To continue the series of macho guys, here’s Mr. Rambo. He looks a bit wider than in the RL, but that’s okay for most of bodybuilders out there.

This is a budget terrain (Look at the price!) that has many potential uses. Combine this with another terrain, Watery islands with a lake to get a nice combo for your Opensim or realXtend world. I am planning to take this into use myself and start by building some bridges first for those visitors who don’t like flying. The big island makes a good meeting place for my purposes.

When I started my Second Life journey, I made some avatar shapes that I felt were important for Virtual Worlds somehow. Trinity (Carrie Ann Moss) from Matrix is definitely one of them. Here’s the shape for you, if you end up doing better, please contribute back for everyone! Also, take a look at Neo.
Download trinity.xml here. Here’s instructions how to import/export the shape.
