"all is for the best in the best of all possible worlds"
Interview (questions):
Since when are you in SL?
I am here in SL since 2007, and I built my first cube around April of 2007.What do you like most about SL?
I like the most, it's always changing, always something new things coming, and I can learn non-stop tinkering around^^
Well Jenne, the avatar you are using now is the same one from the beginning? Or has it changed too much?
My avatar changed a lot, yes. First I was blonde, but then I decided follow my RL appearance, and I the last few years i worked on it. Now matches about 75 %:)
How much time do you spend on SL on a regular day?
In 2007-2008-2009 about 14-16 hours a day. And from 2010 it reduced to cc. 6-8 hours
Do you think people can find a job, education, love and friendship in a virtual place like SL?
Yes, i believe, SL can be a base of a nice life. Certainly it must be connected somehow into RL, but yes, here can be found anything from job to relationship, etc.
Who invite you? Or how you decided to start on this game?
I read about SL in a Hungarian website as an interesting morph. so i gave it a shot. And i learned, the news were wrong: SL is not a game. It’s a second life.
Do you work with other 3D programs or any other designing programs?
I usually work with Maya. This is the first i learned, but i tried almost all of them. I am always seeking for the best pipeline for SL and it changes. Depends on the job, and the version of SL viewer
Why do you select second life? Why not another 3D game online like IMVU?
I tried one another world, that already closed... forgot the name, other creators moved there to try it. But i think any other virtual world is so nice complex as SL. and well.... i know mostly only this one ^^
If you designed an environment in SL, how would it be like?
It’s always abandoned, and ruined a bit, but still can be seen, it was fancy once a long time ago
Have you tried to do 3D designs in other places besides Second Life?
Yes, i worked in some other small projects, but i made only mesh models, nothing more. Actually i don’t like model too much on the computer, i prefer clay, water and dirt^^
Do you work alone? Or you have a group work?
I make my models alone, but i can't script. I am too dumb for that, i have a partner: Mandy Marseille, she makes all my scripts and sounds.
What inspires you to design?
My inspirations coming from everywhere. Any kind of art, or any part of life. I just got impulses, and it mirrors back in my creations.
Are you an afficionado, or, did you study some sort of Design school?
i studied as 2d designer and a window-dresser. Also studied art of history at the university, but i never finished that. Found too boring :)
What do you do specifically? In what area are you really good at? Or what area does like the most?
i think, i am not really good in 3d, it’s just a luck, that my feelings can come through my works.
On your country, is well known SL? Is something famous, do you know people from your country?
In my country people think about SL as a game. Mostly young people playing it as RPG, a 3d facebook. However, i met already some artists from Hungary, but they are working individual, like me.
What do you think about our appearance? Which avatar took your attention since you're here? Who’s the most funny? Who do you think is the sexiest hehehe? Talk us about that ;)
I like you all! You are all lovely, and i think even the stock avatars expressing your personality
What type of script do you use? what JAVA. HTML... MYSQL, JQUERY. The name of the script... does it have one?
I wrote a sound changer... but i failed definitely. I don’t like to talk about my scripting abilities, frustrating to have none: D
What we need to know for create a place like this (forgotten city)?
I think not too much. Using at basic level one 3d applications (3dsmax, blender or Maya) and have a lot of idea, and patience.
