Explorer

This is the face jpg that was created in photoshop. I used 3 images of my flat mate to complete the full head. Scaling a few parts appropriately to fit the model. As the model didn't have the same facial structure as my flat mate Chris, it was hard to make the texture look realistic on the Explorer.

Front shot of the Explorer, I experimented with the Gestures to try and give the Explorer more emotion, but found it incredibly fiddly and found it hard to adapt from other programs to Second Life.

The back of the explorer. I used the hair texture from Chris underneath the modeled hair. It was difficult to avoid the hair from showing the textures underneath, I had to change the style to cope with this.

The jacket and trousers were tricky to get the texture right. The seem of the clothing had to blurred to help the front and back blend better when imported into Second Life.

Overall adapting to Second Life for me was harder than expected as a few of the view control i found very clunky and unreliable.
