Second Life Tutorial :: Kani Pony (Annotations added 3.22.11)

Edited with Annotations! Read it now if you can't hear me.

Please keep in mind the original date of this video, it's over 9 months old. I could have had a kid in this time. I've learned some things that would make modding easier, but I can't re-record this just yet. I need to purchase a USB soundcard so I can use my headset's microphone, and I need to purchase a program that will give me better recording results. But a remake will happen, as well as some re-texturing help, since this is apparently one of the most pain in the ass head to mod. Stay tuned. :)

A little "How To". It's a very quick mod. Sorry about the sound, my headset's mic is being retarded and doesn't want to work, so I have to use the built-in one on my laptop. Also, sorry it's not awesome quality, the LiveStream Procaster for the Mac is in Beta and somethings I can't access. I have a program I want to buy eventually, just don't have the money right now.

If you couldn't hear me, or need the spelling, my name in world is Snowhawk Przhevalsky.

Please tell me its a freebie...

@FanOfAllMeatEaters The Kani avatar is not. It's about 4 years old at this point (and pre-sculptie, but it's aged well). The Pony muzzle, if you have the avatar already, is free. I many need to update the SLURL in the description.

What program are you using?

[samiyarossini]

@SebastianNO2 This is recorded in Second Life, and the viewer I was using at the time was the now-defunct Emerald client. If you mean what did I record it with, it was the then-still-in-beta Procaster client, which is part of what made the sound quality so poor.

@samiyarossini

Hey thank you, I thought it was some kind of modelling program :)

Btw do you have advice which program I could use for 3D modelling (for making Fursuit heads and such)? I've already used Zbrush but the camera movement and the tools are too tricky.

[samiyarossini]

@SebastianNO2 My computers are both pretty old, and getting modeling programs (current versions) is asking a little more of then than they can handle. Most suit makers don't use 3D modeling anyway (3D printers are out of the reach of most), they sculpt everything by hand. The popular base to use lately is a cast resin base which some suit makers will sell directly, but some still use all foam, foam on balaclava, or foam on plastic mesh for a base. (Continued...)

@SebastianNO2 If you aren't already there check out the fursuit community on LiveJournal. Since I can't post the URL, you'll have to go to LiveJournal and search for "fursuit." Lots of posts in the memories, and the community is overall helpful if you can't find anything there. :)

@xAlphaWolf666 It really depends on what kit you have. I'm not familiar with the sergal mods (though I have an unopened one in my inventory, iirc). Usually, you just drop the prim you want to edit on the ground, and apply the textures by dragging from your inventory. (The texture picker in the edit window has long been broken.)

@Jessicamoonlight Go the the SL Marketplace, and click on the Merchants/Stores tab, and then search for Invisible Homewood (or Invisible Designs). The horn came from the "Sculpty Horns - Claws" builder's kit, and you can see the one I used right in the ad, largest one at the bottom. I don't recall what number it was, though. It's L$199 for a lot of random horns and claws, certainly worth it. :)

[Jessicamoonlight]

how do i get a horn like the one you have? :3
