Ah, the 80s, a time when it was cheaper to have American shows animated in Japan. Often times, the work on the show itself was crap and subcontracted out, but the openings...

As it celebrates a decade of enabling virtual experiences, Second Life provides startups with a few hard but valuable lessons on the realities of creating products and building audiences.

It may finally be ready for the rest of the world Linden Lab will soon introduce a version of SL that runs on Oculus Rift, the widely admired virtual reality headset (which just secured $15 million in funding). This move echoes a prediction made by original Second Life investor Mitch Kapor, who insisted to me back in 2009 – after SL’s major hype had cooled – that it would still become a mass-market product.

10 déjà et pas le succès espéré au début. Tout à fait d'accord avec le problème du modèle économique et des conventions d'interface (que malheureusement Open Sim a hérité aussi). Un peu septique sur le rôle de l'oculus (lunettes VR) pour une "seconde vie" par contre la technologie des voxels utilisé par le projet "High fidelity" me semble une direction prométeuse.

Until SL develops a payment system like Habbo's that charges the customers who put the greatest weight on its servers rather than one that charges its own creators--Habbo allows a basic number of avatars for free; if you want to wear better clothes or change your look, you have to pay the membership fee--they cannot be helped.
Any creator in her right mind is really going to limit the amount of her time she spends making something that is making someone else money and costing her both money and time! If the internet right now were not all about this free labor based on love stuff, SL would never exist. It is a tribute to the underlying architecture that is based on selfless sharing that it even exists at all, but if it is going to progress into something that makes people money, the architectural foundation will have to be repoured. And once that's done, the house might be rebuilt to look the same, but the sharing giving freebie culture of SL will be gone.
Take your pick.

For the weekend: Awesome animated aliens
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:
The premise of the project is simple: every day, Martin whips up a brand new illustration of an alien. At the end of the month, he creates an illustration of that month's aliens' planet, along with an animation. The illustrations are consistently clever, and the animation styles change form month to month. It's really, really well done. Click the headline -

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:
The noise heard in many blockbusters these days doesn’t raise one’s confidence about the future of sound in Hollywood. But the poetic nuances of, say, a splattered zucchini can be heard in Peter Strickland’s challenging thriller, “Berberian Sound Studio.” His film not only exploits one of cinema’s most important modes, it also attempts something more difficult: turning a genre movie into a work of art.

I just love the way these guys are thinking :
“It’s such a wild, wooly world out there in online video,” says Hullum. “We don’t really think of competition in that capacity.” He describes an employee of the company they found through videos he’d made that were similar to the ones Rooster Teeth makes. “We could have been, like, Oh, this guy’s trying to do what we’re doing,” he says in a mock-disappointed voice. “Instead, we said, Oh, this guy’s doing cool stuff like we do! Let’s talk to him! And he’s a great guy to have on the team.” Click for the full awesome story -
