Reading Radar

Hopefully he won’t get mad at me for plugging this web site already, but TheFriedGeek Althouse has put up a web site called Studio TFG for promoting some of the SL gear he makes. He does some great work, and he’s able to work with scripts, sculpties, prims of all kinds, particles, animations, skins… what else is there?

From steampunk to Lovecraft to chairs and car seats, he’s probably got something that will make you say “wow… that’s cool!”

I mostly wanted to put his name out there as a thanks for the numerous times he’s helped me out by explaining something in detail to get me on my way to understanding how to do one of these tasks better myself.

I’ve met a lot of these kind of really talented people in SL who go out of their way to pass on their knowledge to me, and it’s a huge part of what makes SL what it is for me. People like that who know what they’re doing and don’t mind helping others. I could write a list of people who’ve helped me learn by sharing their extensive technical knowledge while collaborating on things with me… Airsafety, Itazura, and TFG at the top… and many, many others are on the list too.

In a world of knowledge hoarders, I feel pretty lucky to have the friends I do.
