I doubt she or is it he was the first person in SL

In sl, if you stand in front of a mirror, do you see you standing in front of a mirror or do you see yourself in the mirror?

Sorry Beliria. I am doing a horrible job of asking this question. I will try again. Is SL first persion, like in this photo.

if I say both will you hit me?

okay is normally third but I think you can set it to how you like. But like if I am building I can turn the camera so it becomes first so I can zoom into what I am doing but without seeing my avi's hands (or um the gun in that picture).

Its more of how you have the camera setting set up in SL or what you are doing.

When am in next will do some screenshots for you might help but then again might not

aah.. so what your saying Ron is guy's don't like seeing male avatars?

Ooookay me too in pc games cause I am sick of being force fed male characters in them when I am female. Much rather play a female role in them... and I don't mean washing dishes etc

okay.

Been busy in SL and FF, made a new filter not sure if I will upload it yet or not or see what else I can do with it first.

Is a base texture manipulation filter that makes the texture under it look like slightly to really creased satin fabric. Looks cool over images specially ones that are seamless or cantered ones.

You're hunting for these? What do you do with them after you catch them?

Nice. I think there are some filters that do some similar effects.

Was surprised it does the metal effect, and them images only took about 2-3 seconds to render at 512 size.

Is just a simple filter didn't use the surface height and stuff.

ditto to that, but I found when I tried it with the surface bits the metallic effect and such was getting too much and the lighting with random settings messed the filter look up too much for what I wanted. So I went back the basic filter without them functions.

Me too think I will work on this filter a bit more and clean it up a little before sending it in is still in the experimental stage at the moment. But I think I might work more on effect type filters rather than full blown texture filters.

ah well gives me more time to sort something out then , either that or they are on holiday?

This site has the canoneos450d listed for quite a bit less than the nikond80. I was reading through the specs and the only thing that stood out to me, was that the Canon has spot metering and live lcd preview - otherwise they are very similar.

I checked B&H and they have the Canon and the Nikon each listed for about half as much.

Personally I am happy with my Canon and if I replaced it today it would be with another Canon.
It's going to be lots of fun to get a new camera.

Cool thanks Ron, just I had been looking at the Nikon D60 for sometime and well was thinking why get that one if the others are almost the same price. So started looking at the Canon Eos this morning V's the Nikon D80, think I read far to much stuff that my head got over loaded with info so kept thinking Canon Eos... no go for the Nikon one.. noooo look at the other's info again etc etc.. mind I like that the Canon one uses SD and SDHC cards more of a choice, plus that Nikon one says max card size 4gb SD. And um I can get a 4gb SDHC for half price at the moment that or the 8gb one that's at half price too.

Only thing I'm not sure about is the canon camera bag lol read up's for that are low

here is another site which is excellent for reveiws of cameras

reviewcamera

it's on my camera page but yours is reviewed - go canon

Ron you have more important goals than spending your valuable time at SL

I noticed that some forums will let you draw lines through words. But not this one.
Are you working on any filters Carl?

When I was working on my yin yang filter I made a mental breakthrough and realized how to do this:
