Working almost non-stop over the last few years, I have had few opportunities to just take a stroll and enjoy nature at its finest. While now is also not the best of times to look for that picturesque vista in the real world, virtually many services are offering stunning locations to explore and take a snap of.
Today’s photo comes from the Second Life sim ‘Winter Moon‘, a location I highly recommend considering if you ever find yourself in need of a floral picture. The lolita-style dress my character is wearing comes from the user-created store =Zenith=, and is part of their ‘Winter Lolita Fur Coat’ gacha line. I love how everything turned out in this screenshot!
A few more shots I took as I was playing around for the main shot above, can be found at the bottom of this post.
This photo was taken in Second Life. Second Life does have a reputation for more adult content (there is no shortage of that if you explicitly look for it). However, those interested in using it to build custom avatars and take great photographs will find a lot on offer from the user-created worlds, purchasable content for your avatars, a high level of customisation and clients dedicated to taking fantastic photos. Just beware that with high quality content comes a potentially high real-world cost for digital assets.
Take That (In-Game) Snap Daily Photo is an off-shoot of the Take That (In-Game) Snap article series, in which the first article focusing on Final Fantasy XIV was recently published. This looks at, celebrates and critiques how video game developers have implemented professional photography-like systems into their games. It will cover how the systems handle, just how accessible they are and, where applicable, how a modding community might be making these tools even better. With this Daily Photo spin-off series, I will be sharing individual photos from the games either covered or soon-to-be-covered in the series.
