Just so you know, Alan did the prims for the Shelly Fizz
[9:24] Alan Beresford: for now its the final version
[9:24] Tasha Kostolany: wow
[9:24] Alan Beresford: even with other colors
[9:24] Tasha Kostolany: what sculpt program do you use?
[9:24] Alan Beresford: Sculpt Studio
[9:25] Alan Beresford: its an inworld tool
[9:25] Tasha Kostolany: right I looked at that pretty closely almost bought it
[9:25] Alan Beresford: its awesome and easy
[9:26] Tasha Kostolany: I was a little disappointed that the sculpt thing you work from doesn't look exactly like the finished product
[9:26] Alan Beresford: i think i can make the boat a bit wider
[9:26] Tasha Kostolany: sculpt studio I'm talking about
[9:27] Tasha Kostolany: at least that was my impression
[9:27] Alan Beresford: yap
[9:27] Tasha Kostolany: like how many uploads do you have to do on average to get what you want?
[9:28] Alan Beresford: hmm at the beginning of my sculpting work in Sl, 10 uploads per sculptie
[9:28] Tasha Kostolany: wow I like the thick mast
[9:28] Tasha Kostolany: that's about how it really is
[9:29] Alan Beresford: this boat is a Replica of the awesome WallyNano, in RL
[9:30] Tasha Kostolany: we'll have an inworld show in June
[9:30] Tasha Kostolany: and people can come and see it in person
[9:30] Alan Beresford: yes at the 15th?
[9:30] Tasha Kostolany: yeah roughly
[9:30] Alan Beresford: ok
[9:32] Alan Beresford: i like the clean design of the Wally Boats
[9:32] Tasha Kostolany: yeah have you ever been on one?
[9:32] Alan Beresford: no
[9:32] Alan Beresford: i know it only from the website
[9:35] Tasha Kostolany: are you sculpting the sails?
[9:35] Alan Beresford: yap, i must
[9:35] Alan Beresford: not yet
[9:35] Alan Beresford: that will be the hardest part
[9:36] Tasha Kostolany: is everything a sculpt? or almost everything?
[9:36] Alan Beresford: everything
[9:36] Alan Beresford: oh no, on normal prim
[9:36] Alan Beresford: moment i show you
[9:37] Alan Beresford: the pike at the front
[9:37] Alan Beresford: its for sailing with jib
[9:37] Alan Beresford: it will automatically come out if you sail with the jib
[9:37] Tasha Kostolany: right I read its a self taking jib so one person can sail her
[9:38] Alan Beresford: yes
[9:38] Alan Beresford: and we will make one place for a passenger
[9:39] Tasha Kostolany: yeah ok, the fizz script can handle up to 4
[9:39] Alan Beresford: ah
[9:39] Tasha Kostolany: but for every person you have to have a prim for them
[9:39] Alan Beresford: and the passenger will change the animations an positions
[9:40] Alan Beresford: yes
[9:40] Tasha Kostolany: so max prims if 4 people is 27
[9:40] Tasha Kostolany: you have 28
[9:40] Tasha Kostolany: so far
[9:40] Alan Beresford: haha+
[9:40] Alan Beresford: no
[9:40] Alan Beresford: this boat can have more
[9:40] Alan Beresford: for 4 persons you need 28 prims
[9:40] Tasha Kostolany: as an attachment?
[9:40] Alan Beresford: no
[9:41] Alan Beresford: i only will have two persons on this boat, not more
[9:41] Tasha Kostolany: 27 prims for boat + 4 prims for people = 32 prims max with no attachments
[9:41] Tasha Kostolany: so only 2 people means 32 prims max - 2 is 30 prims for boat
[9:42] Alan Beresford: yes
[9:42] Tasha Kostolany: the sails will be prims though
[9:42] Alan Beresford: yes
[9:42] Alan Beresford: i have 3 cubes in thy boat hull
[9:42] Alan Beresford: its for the sails
[9:42] Tasha Kostolany: awwww :)
[9:42] Alan Beresford: placeholder
[9:43] Tasha Kostolany: if you have a starboard sail and a port sail, I don't know
[9:43] Tasha Kostolany: not sure how that works
[9:43] Tasha Kostolany: :)
[9:44] Alan Beresford: it will be sculpted and the script will mirror the sail
[9:44] Alan Beresford: for both sides
[9:44] Tasha Kostolany: can I add our talk here -- some of it -- with our pictures?
[9:44] Alan Beresford: like in the fizz
[9:44] Tasha Kostolany: is that how it works?
[9:44] Tasha Kostolany: mirror
[9:44] Alan Beresford: yes, and sculptiechange
[9:45] Alan Beresford: i think
[9:45] Tasha Kostolany: does it flip the sculptie texture or use another prim and make the first invisible
[9:45] Alan Beresford: im not a scripter, that's my problem
[9:45] Alan Beresford: i can build but i must wait for scripters
[9:46] Alan Beresford: we will flip and mirror the sculptie sail
[9:46] Tasha Kostolany: neat
[9:46] Alan Beresford: i hope all that will work, haha
[9:46] Tasha Kostolany: I like how the mast has a slight bend backward
[9:47] Alan Beresford: yes
[9:47] Alan Beresford: this is the first final build, i think we will change something
[9:48] Alan Beresford: we can bake the textures in 3D studio max
[9:48] Tasha Kostolany: make it pretty in every way
[9:49] Alan Beresford: this boat will be a tribute to the real Wally boats if we finish it
[9:49] Tasha Kostolany: is 3d studio max easy to use you think?
[9:49] Alan Beresford: hmm better than Blender
[9:49] Alan Beresford: easier
[9:49] Tasha Kostolany: for textures on the sculpts?
[9:49] Alan Beresford: yes
[9:49] Tasha Kostolany: you have a background in working with 3-d modeling?
[9:50] Alan Beresford: we test a bit, and soon we can do awesome texture jobs
[9:50] Alan Beresford: yes, im a Product designer
[9:51] Alan Beresford: i work with some CAD Programs
[9:51] Tasha Kostolany: wow that's how you did this so fast
[9:51] Alan Beresford: hmm, maybe, if i have a awesome idea i must build it
[9:51] Tasha Kostolany: lol fantastic!!!
[9:52] Alan Beresford: and if the building flow comes over me im in trance
[9:52] Alan Beresford: its like a drug
[9:52] Alan Beresford: i must do it and i must make the next , and the next and the next
[9:52] Alan Beresford: hope you understand what i mean
[9:53] Tasha Kostolany: yes yes I totally understand
[9:53] Alan Beresford: its so cool to build thing in this awesome virtual world
[9:53] Tasha Kostolany: you are very rewarded in a happy feeling way about doing this kind of work
[9:53] Alan Beresford: yes
[9:54] Alan Beresford: its everytime the same, all my work
[9:54] Tasha Kostolany: :)
[9:54] Alan Beresford: i cant do custom work if i don't like the thing i must build
[9:55] Tasha Kostolany: yes
[9:55] Tasha Kostolany: I understand that feeling
[9:55] Tasha Kostolany: and if you like it you want to stay up all night working on it
[9:55] Alan Beresford: yes
[9:56] Tasha Kostolany: you might be able to do some of the scripting yourself, Mothgirl is dutch and I think there is a German version of instructions
[9:56] Alan Beresford: yes i know
[9:56] Tasha Kostolany: and its made for people that don;t do coding
[9:56] Alan Beresford: but i know, my scripter is an RL Sailor
[9:56] Tasha Kostolany: far out!!!
[9:56] Alan Beresford: he is very good i scripting
[9:56] Tasha Kostolany: I think your coder will like it
[9:57] Alan Beresford: but im not
[9:57] Tasha Kostolany: let me know what they think
[9:57] Alan Beresford: he likes it
[9:57] Tasha Kostolany: :)
[9:57] Alan Beresford: yesterday we bought the Kit
[9:57] Tasha Kostolany: fantastic
[9:57] Alan Beresford: and this boat will be the first we do
[9:59] Tasha Kostolany: I'll tell you when I have it on the web
[9:59] Tasha Kostolany: keep me informed on progress this is exciting
[10:00] Tasha Kostolany: ILOVE seeing other people make boats
[10:00] Alan Beresford: me too
