Assignment #3: Mehdi - Projection
The latest filter to be featured in the Filtering Second Life group was an interesting one this week. It’s from Mehdi and it’s called Projection. (Sorry, Mac users — this is for PC users only. Apparently filters that work for both PC and Mac are extremely rare.)
I decided to use a picture of Gallia Plubeau modeling a body shape for Gogo’s store, Demoiselles, located in the new LicoLico sim.

In addition to the filter, I added a tri-color gradient to make the largest image of Gallia (on the right side of the pic) stand out more, and just a tiny bit of a gaussian blur which was screened at a lesser opacity.
Looking forward to next week’s assignment ![]()
About
When I was rezzed in Second Life (SL) in February of 2007, I had no idea what I was in for. I’d been curious about SL for a long time but hadn’t able to enter this alternate universe with my previous computer.
SL has been a fascinating ride thus far. I’ve met some pretty amazing people, made new friends, explored the complexities and issues peculiar to online relationships, discovered my inner fashionista (it’s like I’m six-years-old again and playing with my Barbie doll, hehe), seen some truly innovative things, and marveled at the astounding educational possibilities SL presents. The best part of it all? Having been exposed to different ways of thinking and perceiving things.
The Metaverse truly is limited only by what we can imagine.
This blog will be a lot of things: a documentation of my adventures in SL, a place to post pictures I’ve taken in SL as well as those I’ve worked on in Photoshop, a smorgasbord of machinima from both myself and from friends, an unabashed accounting of adoration for clothes I’ve found in SL, a reflection on relationships, a medium for me to vent my complaints about SL issues, and probably other things I haven’t thought of yet.
If you’re ever logged in at the same time as me, feel free to drop a “Hello”. I’ll probably want to snap your avi’s picture and have you over to my house.
