Accquiring money

Ok....so I don't have the necesary skills as of now to script....or model. I plan on studying 3d design in college, but I don't know much yet.

What I was wondering is how someone like me can make a good living in SL. If I can't create anything worth having just yet, I wonder what I could do.

I do have skills as a musician, however, but I doubt that would land me any sort of profit here.

Any tips?

Well you don't have to take 3d modeling to build in SL just take a building class it's basically like playing with building blocks. Scripting isn't that hard, and there are also classes and the wiki to learn script. As for being a musician I have no idea how that would be lucrative in SL

Musician?

I look to people like Astrin Few, who does great inworld jazz performance, and have you heard of Third Life records?

Check it out. Jamie and Boueg are nice guys and they've set it up very elegantly.

Hmm that is very cool! I do create my own music, mostly metal, however I do make ambient/darkwave and fantasy music aswell.

I am wondering if perhaps I could seel my songs to people on here? hehe that would be VERY cool!

Thanks for your help! Yeah I am going to try and learn a much as I can about the building tool, but as of now I have 3dsmax5 and I'm having a hard time learning on my own.

All the building tools you need are in world you just rightclick on the ground hit create and viola you have a prim. and prims come in many shapes and you can adjust the sizes of them

You know what I would spend a little L$money on is "incidental music". Something to punctuate humor and spoof drama. Or punctuate drama and spoof humor. Either way.

Hey Rexxz, yeah those are good ideas -- I wonder what the future of music will be like in SL, with the virtual economy expanding and all that. Just have fun, and go with it!

Haha cool! What I meant by modeling, however, was like making objects, you know? Like vehicles, etc. I wish I could do that too.




What do you mean, exactly? Please describe this better, because I am sure I can do whatever it is you want

Ah thanks alot! I'm a diehard musician by heart, that comes before all else. I have a lot of free time right now so I wanted to get this game when It was recommended to me by a friend.

So if I were to make some tracks, which I can make all kinds of music, and be able to sell them here... damn that would be great! Better than great!

No doubt. I would love to see a bit of in SL. I would gladly pay my measly stipend on it as well. So bring it on whether it is spoken comedy or classical oboe, I gladly spend my lindens in support of some talent. I know you all have it so sell it already...mmm Nehai this would include you if you are readiing.

Ha that's great! I imagined it probably wouldn't sell, that's cool to see people are interested.

I guess I better get my guitar and programs to work then eh? Yeah well I need to upgrade my vid card so I can even play the game first, however...
