Today we learnt how to use fraps which is the program that we are going to be using to capture all of our 2nd life footage for the machinima.
We had to take a capture of our character talking to the camera which we did by using the lip synching that is in 2nd life when using a microphone to record speech.

First week back from holidays,
We got to pick out our apartments to day, after we picked out an apartment that we wanted we then went into Photoshop and made our own custom banners for our apartments so that everyone knew whose apartment was whose. After we finished putting our banners up we had the rest of the lesson to start furnishing our apartments.

Today we first started off by having a look at comic life, we were to uses this program to kind of a "story board" setup by taking screen shots of how we were going to film our machinimas. After we told dale that we had already drawn up story boards in our visual design class for he machinima we kind of left comic life since our story board were pretty much the same thing that we were going to do with second life.
After that we pretty much had free time to go a look around for things we still needed for our machinima while Dale started construction of the apartments that we are going to be using for our machinima.
Week 7
Today we did more 2nd life, pretty much still just getting use to the program.
We started off by just doing our own thing for the first half of the class so that we could go around looking for things that we would use from our machinima.
2nd half of the class we were shown how to make our own objects in the world, we started of with making a sphere and applying a texture to it, which was a texture of the world. After we had made our "world" we then made another sphere which was a bit bigger than the first one that we made, we then applied a transparent clouds texture to this sphere to make clouds on the world. After we had made the clouds we were shown how to use scripts which we then used to apply to the clouds we made so that they would spin around the "World".
