I have been using Second Life for a good year and a half now to take photographs whenever I feel the need to be a little bit creative. Over this time I have used a little bit of spare money each month to acquire a sizeable wardrobe of cute outfits for both the Maitreya Lara and Utilizator Kemono bodies. I tested myself to see what I could put together from my inventory in five minutes along with a location. I think this turned out pretty nice! It takes place at some unspecified point on the continuity set by the last twoinstalments, if you couldn’t tell already.
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.
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.
