Bid for a Model Pictures

Like I promise I am publishing some helpers of ASA pictures. People that help modeling, bidding and making this fantastic event a success. All the help provide more than 260 thousand Lindens. This might be a small help for Real Life but it is a big effort for Second Life and all avatar that contributed. Unfortunately most of the helpers didn’t send me their picture on time for the post. I apologies, but I needed to post this important event right away.

I want to make especial thank to LiamL Darwin and Kram Sadofsky. Kram not only bid me but also more 12 beautiful models. He was fortunate to win 13 beautiful models during the Autism Auction.

Liam was the higher bidder. He donated more than 32,900 L!! The bid for a model fundraiser was important because it held the potential to raise a lot of money for Autism in a very short time. Mr Darwin told me he was honored to be able to be a small part in this very successful fundraiser. The models have given so much of their time, offering the 2 hour date, plus contacting friends and others to generate bids for such an important cause, he said.

First of all, Darwin was glad to be able to contribute, and honored to have played a part in making the winning model the top fundraiser in this event. Darwin bid Saffire Jaxxon and on his own words; “Saffire has a wonderful heart and when she's going to help a cause such as autism, she's always willing to go for it. She's a genuinely caring individual, and I'm honored to have been a part of her successful efforts raising funds for autism.”

I would like to thank you all for the ball party event, lovely music and interesting people. The best of the party was the fact we were having fun helping RL persons.

I am looking forward for meeting you all again soon. Thank you all for helping ASA and for sending me your nice pictures.

Please, feel free to leave a comment if you like.

Sailing in Southern Caledon

I am not sure if I have ever mentioned that I love to sail. I do ! :) I captain a number of ships, and Miss Serra, Seneshelf of my home region of Winterfell has been so nice to appoint me Winterfell Admiral lately :)
One of the thing I love most being a Winterfellan is that Winterfell connects to other regions, Caledon in primis and this give me a huge area to explore and hours of sailing time.

After almost a year of sailing I still have not discovered all the beauty of this wonderful region.

Today I was taking my Morning Star in the Southern Caledon waters and I was stunned as I ended in Caledon Oxfordbridge. Such a beauty in the perfect reproduction of the buildings.

the "Morning Star" sailing in Southern Caledon

And the nearby sims are not to be neglected : Caledon Cymru, where an impressive fortress on the sea dominates the view and the waters between Greystoke and Glarmorgan where one of the most magnificent bridges I have seen in SL dominates the view


A region to visit and explore !

It's Stitch by Stich time !!!!!!! by Lucille Morigi




Sevenstar Amat is the designer of a store called Stitch by Stitch and her work is simply amazing.

A true artist, she works with many kinds of textures and colours and the combination turns out to be excellent.

Latest news: she has decided to do a "Model of the Month" Contest for all whom are in her group. Not only models.

Sorry, the September Model has been chosen - and it's yours truly ( happy here :-)), but from October on, the contest restarts.

Like any other thing Sevenstar decides to do, even the way that the Model of the Month appears is absolutely creative and beautiful, almost poetic I must add.

She built a stage in which the pictures of the model wearing the outfit are shown in cutout figures.

Ok enough writing, let the pictures speak for themselves.

Bid for a Model Event -BID ANNA AVALANCHE

Hi, every one.
I post some days ago the bid for a model event.

I like to help charity events and wouldn’t be different with this great event. However I don’t use to advertise my help. It is not polite to make auto promotion with charity. But, this case is different. The event is an auction and to help I need to advertise as much as I can.



If you want to help ASA and have a nice time with me at the ball TP here and bid me! You will be helping a real life organization and have fun. There are also extraordinary models that need your bid. So don’t lose your time bid now. The auction ends on September 5.

The TP will take you to the front desk. To find my picture you will need to go to 138/5/26.

bid for a model 03



Remember your money will be returned if someone made a bid higher than you, The highest bidder gets to date the model.

Have fun and bid for a model

Tutorial: Using the light for good pictures in the Second Life by Anna Avalanche

I like to post clues and today I will be posting one more picture tutorial. For who lost the previous tutorials the best is to click in pictures examples and tips for good picture to read those tutorial before continuing.

How to shoot perfect pictures? Picture without the horrible shadow. Sometimes we spent a fortune in a clothes and skins but shadows end up destroying our pictures.

Those clues are just to improve your pictures. Other users will still continue to see shadows in your face. To eliminate the undesirable shadows once and for all from your face the best option is the Face Light. You can find a variety of Face Light in the market. I particularly use and recommend the FaceFX. You can acquire a very accessible one in Anna Avalanche Style Store. Before buying, however, catch the demonstrative free, a little box in the ground in front of the vendor. There are two options of FaceFX, from 75 L$ to 375L$.

Well, let’s start! For the beginners that still don't know SL well, it is possible to change the light. Enter in the menu World > Environment Settings > Environment Editor and click in Advanced Sky. With so many options, it is easy to get lost and to finish opting for something that makes your appearance worst.

I found a blog Style in SL with the download and description on how to customize the sky for a good pictures, by Caliah Lyon. If you prefer download this preset here and place the file directly in: C://Program Files/Secondlife/app_settings/windlight/skies.

After that, login Second Life and go at menu World > Environment Settings > Environment Editor and Advanced Sky. Seek in the rectangle, Sky presets, for CalWL like the picture below.

(Picture above) Normal light adjusted for midday. See the horrible shadow!

004

(Picture above) Light adjusted using this tutorial. Did you see the difference?

007

(Picture above) Light adjusted using this tutorial plus face light. Did you see the quality? Even the hair color is better!

Or follow this guide to set it manually

001

The Atmosphere Tab
This is largely to improve the quality of the horizon and has little bearing on the lighting itself, -except- for the Max Altitude, Density/Distance multiplier values. You can tweak the other settings to your satisfaction to get better skies.


Blue Horizon: R: 0.12, G: 0.12, B: 0.16, I: 0.16
Haze Horizon: 0.09
Blue Density: R: 0.32, G: 0.59, B: 1.00, I: 1:00
Haze Density: 0.65
Density Multiplier: 0.18
Distance Multiplier: 2.0
Max Altitude: 188


Lighting Tab
Set Red and Green values slightly higher to give the light a warmer “sunlit’ tone, but you can make all RGB values equal for a whiter, more neutral light. If you want brighter light you can raise Ambient using the “I” (Intensity) slider. A range of 0.67-0.77 is recommended, combined with Scene Gamma of 1.08-1.22. Note that you may have to lower both Ambient and Scene Gamma if you regularly visit builds with a lot of local lights.

Sun/Moon Color: R, G, B and I at 0.086
Sun/Moon Position: 0.000
Ambient: R:0.67, G:0.64, B:0.63, I:0.67 or R: 0.70, G: 0.67, B: 0.66, I: 0.70 (second setting is brighter)
East Angle: 0.16
Sun Glow: Focus: 0.10 Size 1.75
Scene Gamma: 1.08-1.15
Star Brightness: 0.00


The Clouds Tab

The only difference with the clouds tab from any default preset you might have is the coverage. I’ve set it to low (exactly 0.13).

Cloud Coverage: 0.13

As always, you can fine-tune these settings to suit your particular preference.


Now save with a easy name and good pictures.


Unfortunately the blog is not the best place to publish a good quality picture. If you wish to look at a good resolution picture please access my flickr or Orkut .

This pictures were took at Chouchou . This place is beautiful.
