Chairs! Couches! Beanbags! There are hundreds if not thousands of single and group seating options in Second Life for all budgets and pose desires. In what will probably be my last photo around this service for a few weeks, just wanted to take the opportunity to highlight how you can put together a nice photograph in a few minutes.
This is Tay, one of my long-time friends on the service. While we generally just hang out or chat via Discord nowadays, I dragged them into an impromptu photoshoot. Going to a small private parcel they call home, I plopped them in a couch and set up a nice cuddle pose for both of us. With some minor adjustments on behalf of the photographer (me), I had this snap arranged in no more than a couple of minutes.
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.
