Book description
Whether your second, virtual life has just begun, or
you’ve been “in-world" for a long time, a successful
and rewarding experience depends on your mastery of design.
Everything from your avatar to your home, your clothes to your
behavior says something about who you are and the way others see
you. In this book Rebecca Tapley—“Mera Luan” in
SL—shows you how to design everything from bodies to
earrings, cars to castles, for improved appearance, function, and
usability. Real-world topics such as urban planning, color theory,
user experience, interior design, and landscaping are mapped to SL
conditions. Learn how to spot the best skin and hair, clothing,
architecture and construction, property for sale, and more. In
addition, Rebecca’s insights and observations on Second Life
etiquette, manners, customs, and other subtle socio-cultural
realities will help you make your way through this new and
sometimes baffling world. Have a more rewarding second life by
learning how to:
Create a realistic or fantastical avatar
Make gorgeous clothes and other luxury goods
Build impressive homes and planned communities
Develop whole islands
Establish a social community and career Life.
