Artoo!
August 26, 2008I like to point out great customer service when I get it, and again tonight, a content creator went above and beyond to help me complete a project.
The SLPN Headquarters on Podcast Island is using two copies of the Akeyo prefab Trii edited and mashed together, with modified textures as the building it’s housed in (see below).
So when I wanted to get some couches for my SL Under the Radar podcast set that I could rez on demand, I went back real quick to see what they had as far as copy/mod furniture. In order to rez any object from the inventory of another object, it has to be copiable, and in order to put the scripts in it for setting the position to be restored upon rez, it has to be modifiable.
Unfortunately, the couches were no copy, no mod, transfer. I looked at the creator profile and found that artoo Magneto was online. So I contacted him and told him that I was hoping to use his product for a rezzable podcast set. Well, he came through for me. He tp’d me over to his workshop where he was busily working on products, and set me up with a mod/copy/no transfer version of the floating couch. Cool.
It just shows you that a lot of the more creative content makers do it not just for the lindens, but because they love what they do. They just want to get their stuff out there. Obviously they want to get paid for their work, and good work is always worth paying for, but when you get customer service like this, you know they started not for the dough but for the love of making things they can be proud of.
So a huge thanks to artoo Magneto! And do go check out his work at Akeyo… it’s good stuff.
Here’s a glimpse of the floating couches as I mock up a set real quick, and then take a much needed break. Having people do a lot of work for me is tiring!
Check out a fuzzy flash video of the rezzer in action, sans commentary.
