Hello, Elissa here!  I’m one of Genkii’s artists and I want to share some of what I’ve been doing. Today, among other things, was about giving the future Sparkle 3d male avatar the beginnings of a face.

This isn’t a tutorial but I will say I do my 3d work in Blender.  My first step was to use multires to get a more detailed avatar to work with, we’re going to trim this guy down a lot to make him game ready. Then it’s lots of sculpting and smoothing to get the musculature and skelatal structure looking natural.

He’s definately not the finished product, but he’s come a long way from a blank face!

Hey everyone!

We’ve just released Sparkle IM version 1.3.3 in the AppStore today.

New features include:

  • In-app email of chat and IM logs (for iPhone OS 3.0 users only)
  • X,Y,Z support in the custom start location screen
  • Support for alternate chat channels using the “/#” command
  • Fixed some potential crashes for some users
  • “Japan” location added to the start locations

The “Japan” location in Second Life is for Sparkle users who want a common space to hang out in.  You can chat with other Sparkle users, or sometime catch some Genkii-ites on there as well.

Many of our added features come from user requests.  The best place to request new features is on our GetSatisfaction page.  We are happy to hear your input and feedback, so please keep it coming!

Genkii is very excited to have an article up now on Techcrunch about Sparkle IM, our first virtual world application for the iPhone and iPod Touch. The article also goes into some detail about our upcoming developments in Sparkle.

We hope Sparkle IM will be of use to current Second Life and Opensim users and that everyone else is excited about the direction of Sparkle 3D! Check it out and let us know what you think.
