Want to make a feature film? Have little or no money? Then you’re probably out of luck. Unless you’re Flinders University student, Dario Russo. Dario is the genius behind the parody, Italian Spiderman.

In a world of pseudo internet anonymity it is possible to register different names for the different sites that you use.

A year ago, Robbie Dingo posted an extraordinary clip called “Watch the World(s)”, in which he recreated Vincent Van Gogh’s Starry Night as a 3-dimensional landscape in Second Life. Alas, nothing remains of that wonderful build but the video.
Virtual Starry Night (Vincent’s Second Life) presents you with the next best thing. Visit the hospital gardens, [...]
Rac had a nice looking sim before, but the new improved model is sleek and open and rezzes faster. And so shiny! You feel like you have arrived at the Grand Central of Skin and Hair City, and that’s no accident of design.
