You know, I love to share landmarks and locations......and....uhm...

because of that me and Edo (the tech-side of koinup)
we have launched the PLACES SECTIONS

So here's is my first editorial suggestion for new awesome SL places to visit:
koinup.com/sim/Orkney/
koinup.com/sim/akashic/
koinup.com/sim/Tompson/

Have a look there or browse others sims here:
koinup.com/sims/in-second-life/

and then share postcards / or... btw....try to discover new place and be the first to share the slurls on Koinup

Discoverers will be featured on the "place front pag"e and have a lot of visibility!

dear friends, I wanna direct your attentions to some excellent photoshop tutorials created by our common friend Ji_Dallagio

I think you should have a look at them, because most probably they will help you a lot

First Tutorial: Working on Layers
koinup.com/Ji_Dallagio/work/55124/as-list/

Second Tutorial: Blending and changing colors
koinup.com/Ji_Dallagio/work/55340/as-list/

Third Tutorial: Extract Images from their currect backgrounds
koinup.com/Ji_Dallagio/work/55480/as-list/

Thanks Ji!
These tutorials are not about Second Life or some other worlds, but are about Photoshop and Postprocessing, so I think that most of you can be really interested!

I invite other members to share their tecniques and create tutorials using the storyboard tool! I'll give to each tutorial the maximum of visibility in order to help the whole community! Enjoy Koinup!

Re Quadrapop and Captain Crunch's new sim opening Tree Island ...this is a speech from Quadrapop at the offical opening....... This sim has come about because of a vision I and CaptainCrunch Hax had of how we could aid and encourage content creators in SL. The concept is to provide everthing an artist/scripter/builder/performer might need in one sim.
[7:02] quadrapop Lane: To this end we are offering rental parcels of sufficient size for builders to have a home but also somewhere to rez their builds in peace if they choose. Renters have access to a private group only sand box for prim heavy builds. They also get prims in the commercial space - no need to rent a shop or gallery space - we will configure it to the renter's needs. The Gallery and Commercial Space will be promoted and run by experienced curators.
[7:03] quadrapop Lane: One of the big ways we want to encourage existing and new content creators is with regular seminars on all things to do with building as well as discussions and displays on art/culture within SL. These seminars wil take place in the Community parcel next to the sim landing point. Either on the ground or in the air as required by the seminar. Everything from camera control and basic building, to advanced scripting and sim creation.
[7:03] quadrapop Lane: Our resident DJs and performers will have this club to use as a place to spin or perform whenever they wish. Ennui is acting as our club manager. We are hoping to attract some experienced promoters to aid in advertising the club, community seminars and the commercial ventures on the sim.
[7:04] quadrapop Lane: Part of our vision was a more cohesive image on the ground - none of the mish mash of styles one often sees even on private estates, but to also avoid the recreation of yet another RL space. Thus the alien planet feel of the current landscape. If any of you have read Iain M Bank's Culture novels you will have some idea of the universe in which this landscape might be found.
[7:04] quadrapop Lane: no heckling?
[7:04] quadrapop Lane: thi smust be a boring speech lol
[7:04] Katherine Ivory: No, it's inspiring!
[7:04] You: your mother wears army boots
[7:04] quadrapop Lane: We have building zones outlined in our covenant. The ground is for SL or not possible in Real Life builds - you can see photos of this on the display boards out the front of the Rooftop club and in person for the next 3 hours. Above 400 meters anything goes - so residents can have their castle, grungy warehouse or cottage.
[7:04] quadrapop Lane: lol
[7:05] quadrapop Lane: and lacking in my usual mess of typos too...
[7:05] quadrapop Lane: If any of you are interested in renting/tutoring or working with us please contact me via IM or notecard.

Ji_Dallagio and Antonella launched a project; it is called: Pileup!

Antonella posted a raw untouched screenshot:

koinup.com/antonella/work/53531/

Every Koinup Member is invited to edit, postprocess, change it and explain what he/she has done to get to his/her image

You can save the Antonella Image on your Pc and start your experiments!

When you have created your own version, please upload on Koinup and add the tag: pileup

All Pictures will be available here:
koinup.com/works/tag/pileup/

The goal is to discuss together about our style, approachs and have fun in a collaborative project!

Pan, Trixi and other cool guys have launched a new Community Project.....

I don't know how to call it.....lets try with:

"One Place, Many Eyes"......

Anyway, this is the project:

One member take a photo in a place and other people follow, taking other pics of the same subject......

Pan has just started with this splendid photo settled in the JadeForest
koinup.com/PANTELEIMON-AEON/work/53258/

This is the slurl, TP there, take a lot of snaps:
slurl.com/secondlife/Straylight/186/53/25

And post your takes on Koinup

Remember to add the tag:
jadeforest

so that each takes on it, will be visible here:
koinup.com/works/tag/jadeforest/

(if you want get constructive comments on the work, add the tag:
review and enter the Mentor Project )

Just I wanna give my support to one idea of Pan!

The idea is this:

Each participant take a photo of the same subject. Eachone tag the photo in the same manner and then, we all discuss together about our attempts, showing different styles, approach, etc.....

I choose the main landscape of Africa:
koinup.com/pier/work/52573/

Its a great sim and if you want you can go on with this subject and do your take with it!

please, add the tag : virtualafrica
to your attempt

moreover, if you want to receive constructive comments from mentor, remember to add also the tag: review

lets go, tp in Africa!

ps: This game is for SL people, but I invite my friends from other virtual worlds to make similar games on their own

Dear friends
The awesome Trixibelle had a great idea ....

It is called “Mentors Project” and it works this way:

Are you a beginner in photography or machinima? Are you making art experiments and would you love to receive constructive comments from the most skilled Koinup members?

Great! This project is for you!
Add the tag: review
to all your works you wanna be reviewed from the pool of mentors and they will review and make a deep analysis of them!

Is there a better way to improve and become an artist?

Right now, the group of mentors is made up by:
Ji Dallagio, Rhondita, Bbea, Zeppy, Don Hosho, MightyP, Angel-Ronmark and Eves

(soon, you will see the mentors here: koinup.com/people/?q=mentor )

If you wanna be a mentor, please add the tag: mentor
to your profile and add other tags for the fields you are an expert (photoshop, windlight, machinima, second life, imvu, etc)

If you wanna a constructive comment, tag your work with: review


Mentors will periodically browse all the works, tagged with: review
here: koinup.com/works/tag/review/

once the constructive comment has been posted, mentor can add the tag:
tutorial on that work



Please, spread out this message and broadcast it, too yourself!
