Hi, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am Pippa Plopp a long term avatar in Second Life a 3D-World. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, Second Life still exists and it’s still online. Even it changed a lot the last 23 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Especially the avatars have changed and the graphics and it becomes realistic a little bit more every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

But, unfortunately, there are still avatars in Second Life looking like ones of the beginning of this 3D-world, as “Ruth” and “Phillip” were running around as your first avatar after the first login.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reasons are multiple. Some users don’t have the money to invest Dollars and Dollars in this game. A great mesh-body and a mesh-head can cause costs of round about 7000L$, about 30 to 35 US$!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But is it really needed to invest so much money? Is there no other way to have a good looking, nearly realistic looking avatar with a mesh-body, mesh-head, Baked On Mesh (BOM) and good looking clothes? Or is it possible to have it all for free, or let’s say, without investing one US$?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s what I want to find out and I am reporting on this blog how it goes… or even not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When starting this challenge, I realized, that I can’t really swith off one thing: my experiences on Second Life, my knowledge about some brands, names like “Magica”, “von Fyrsten”, “Stealthic” or “Lucy Body”. But… okay. Enter the word “hair” into SL-search and you’ll find these brands on your own. Using the search was one of my first things I did after my very very first login on 01-15-2010!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I created a new avatar, Miss “MeshtestDummy<\/a>” and a challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this blog I am talking about it and you are invited to follow. Maybe your avatar is looking like a noob and you want to change this. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
