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!

dear friends,

If you stumble on some nice sims, places, clubs or party in SL
you can send an invite to your Koinup friends, by sending a postcards on Koinup.

How?

Easy, go in your account : koinup.com/account/

Set-up your Koinup Upload Email and then, when you are in SL, send as many postcards as you want to that email address recipients.....

We on Koinup we will see the postcards and probably we will join you inworld!

Note: The postcards arrive on Koinup with the Slurl, so each one can directly tp there.....

Orange Week Photo Contest

Certainly once, you have felt surrounded with reality in SL... an awesome build, a true moment of emotion, a real expression on a friendly face...

"One second of reality Contest" aims to find out where reality begins for you. Try to mesmerize the jury and make us believe the photo was taken in RL.

Winners will participate to an exhibition in a RL gallery in Paris. Prizes are a complete studio kit and a printing in high quality format.

I posted a tutorial, showing you how to make reportages and send them from Second Life (and also There.com) to Koinup, without saving your postcards to the hard disk.

This TUTORIAL could be useful if you want cover events, tell your Koinup friends about amazing places in metaverse or also work as virtual reporter.

This is the tutorial, if you have any question, leave me a comment

koinup.com/pier/work/36637/

You can view as a slide show:
