Where does creativity come from?

Experimental video

It just started out with me wanting here to slowly look in to the camera and I wanted a face that was different and not to symmetric. Really a simple job but when you get hooked on something you really just keep on going.

I think that’s what creativity is. Continue to work until you find some kind of hook or something to work on. Now I have a lot of material. Develop it further or stop?

Move on to something else or this could be the thing.

It is funny how a very small thing can lead in new directions. It is what gets me up in the morning. Not knowing what’s next.

Some time over to work on Lendonia.

The portal to ghost town and the road are finished. Need to do a prim count. I do not think I can get everything in to the sim as I want but I have my own kingdom.

Lendonia is a tribute to my mother. It comes from here name Lena. God I am bright. LOL

The big wall is finished and now I have to build the city behind it. Work,,,,

Textures as art exhibition

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19UpfB6cFjA

 

cyberserenity Vella got a new exhibition at the Nilsart gallery.

 

Can textures be art?

 

All the textures are seamless and free. And if you click on them you get your texture and the y are counted so we can see the most popular ones. And we put them up here at the end of the exhibition.

 

Enjoy.

Updating old software. What things you can learn.

oldschool

I found some old software on a CD that I wrote many years ago and I wanted to update I thought it maybe could be used with Wine. The software is written in Visual studio 6 and Visual basic pro v4 so there was a problem. I have tried to transfer it to .NET but it is a total rewrite and not really worth it.

I decided to upgrade it as it is but I needed VS 6. It is not running well since Win 98 so I used VirtualBox to install a Win98SE on my workstation. And then I just installed VS 6 on that. It worked great when I remembered to bridge the VirtualBox network card. That was two hours I never get back. Then I could download the software from my ftp server and start the work. As you can see on the picture. I got in to the deep part of my bookshelf and digged out the old documentation. It is BOOKS. I remember working with them before and how I hated working with documentation on the computer. But what do you know? I have gotten used to web and computer docs. You can search and you got all the web to learn from. I like the books but it takes forever to find stuff.

Visual studio worked great. I have done some work on VS 2012 but not enough to really learn it, maybe I never do. Working with VS 6 was a little bit like coming home.

The first software I compiled today is the one making graphics. It is still good and I wanted it for my next exhibition in Second life. After changing some formats it worked ok but I had to do some rewrites. Tested it on Win 7 and XP so I now know I need a installer so all files goes in the setup. It is a great piece of software and it was fun to work with the old stuff again.

I put it on 2worlds2go.org when I am ready with it.

After som thought. Catchpa.

We have a new catchpa module that we are going to try out. It is a jigsaw game and maybe it works better than the old one.

We also have changed accounts. If a account is idle it will be deleted after 6 months.

Unconfirmed a day and never logged in a week. This happens on automatic so do not feel like we do not like you.

 

I do not see any problem as you always can get a new account if you need it.

 

Downloads are open again. Lets see how it works.
