Ok, inbetween the geeky stuff with coding up the opensim, I wanted to see if I can finally do
something to get the male population in OpenSim (Currently there is just a NewRuth avatar - it is better than the default in SL, but I'd still like to have a male one.
As one could figure out, there are not so many places on the web that might have the secondlife skins (and textures too :)
Nonetheless, I did find a couple of interesting places:
http://www.slworld.info/freetextures/ - many textures, but given that the head texture does not seem to fit, even though it is marked as "SL texture", wonder where did it come from...
http://ca.geocities.com/tabbotts2016/ - a few skins. ooops. they are female. Well, means more variety for the ladies :) But maybe we could tweak them to look more male too...
a few "regular" textures - just a samples of a result of work of the commercial texture making program. The program looks interesting... I wonder if Gimp can do textures too - maybe...
http://arianeb.com/secondlife.htm - actually the complete noob's guide to SL. Has upper/lower skins, and, despite being female skins, they seem to fit on male as well :) (well, somewhat :)
Up to you to judge on the latter:
(and yes, the lower part will need some rework in certain areas :)

Hey Dalien,
Vint told me about your experiments with OpenSim, and I thought maybe i'd ask you wether I can help as well '^_^.

Hey Smiley, cool, will be great to have fun together on this :)
Actually seems like i can't see your email - but you should receive the notification about the reply into the email address...
let's hook up either on googletalk (or jabber that is - I am dalienta[at gmail] (also, indeed Gmail's email address that is), or alternatively I hang out every now and then on efnet (#opensim) - "dalien".
Would you believe it? I finally got around to putting up those neko skin textures. :) Couldn't find your email so I'll just post it Here.
Storm, this is superfantastic! thanks! :) may I write up a special post about this ?
:)
Also - I wondered - how much quality would we lose if we try to store the stuff on flickr ?
