Hello
I was simply giving my opinion to the designer of this project . I fully
realise that my point of view is going to be different than yours , simply
because of the differences between my project and yours ( if you even have
a Rex project ) .. I attempted to present a collaborative viewpoint to
the situation . Since the designers' project is about the Integration of
Blender and Realxtend , the scope of this discussion is wider than simple
asset pipelining ... In brief , I approached this topic from the aspect of
community building and collaborative integration , rather than solitary
asset pipelining. I am not saying that my points of view are any more
possible or probable than the next , given the scope of the mission . I
simply presented this to the designer in a cordial manner . IF he thinks
that all my ideas are dumb or if he thinks that some of them are good , then
so be it , I am happy that he gave me the chance to express those ideas and
expect nothing more .
An asset creation pipeline is essential for Realxtend , there is no doubt
about it . Some Ideas are for solitary or even "offline" creative
environments and other ideas are for collaborative environments . The
logical conclusion to make in this case is that the final product will
probably be a mix between the two paradigms. You speak of creating appealing
contant , offline . Why would there even be an "offline" situation. Why
not just bring a preview grid right there with you and view the content in
world as you create it, where ever you are .
IF you think that its "drama" to speak face to face with at least an
avatar of a person before you decide if you can work together , then you
are Naeve in the extreme as to how collaborative work gets done in this
Environment . Why did you use such obviously inflammatory words such as
"drama" , the SL crowd and the SL mindset to me anyways ? Since you
directed these comments to me , quite evidently , can you tell me how you
know for sure that anything I have ever done has been drama ? Can you tell
me how I stand for the SL mindset when I am a strident Taiga supporter
while you are not , you openly support vanilla opensim or "opensim+modrex"
which is much closer to basic SL than Taiga could ever be . You said these
things in an attempt to debase my points of view and get me all fired up,
but you failed miserably because you are clueless . While you are out
there, not even running a Taiga world grid of your own at present but
rather theorizing and bombastically pontificating your points of view .
There are others out there trying to find productive ways in which people
can leverage the platform and thus have a means of being here and creating
the amazing content that we all enjoy . Be realistic and respectful of
others . Especially when its questionable if this is truly your community
if you dont support the communities ideals .
I am hardly the person that you need to explain the need of an asset
pipeline to . We are soo far behind in pipelining content into Rex that We
are looking at a years worth of work just to do this .
You jump on my ideas , when I am into community building and thus making
the entire Realxtend Taiga platform stronger for all .. A grid like this
with its strong community of content creators would be interconnected to
your grid as well . Thus your grid would be stronger with a strong and
thriving community of content creators out there, backing you up ... And
yet you complain when someone brings up collaborative ideas such as this
... Creating a situation where content can be easily accessed by simply
autonomously logging on to a grid like this would be an amazing asset to
you, and yet some of you act as if you dont even comprehend its value.
This is because you do not value and realise the proper merits of the Taiga
platform, you simply want the mesh added to opensim core .
Your comments about SL ..
Are very weak since at its core , the Taiga platform is built to not
function Like SL. You dont even need to register to log on to the various
seperate Taiga grids so your Hysteria about a walled SL type garden being
created in Taiga is baseless .
The Taiga concept is an anathema to the Closed Garden concept of SL , so
why even present such basic statements to us and then act as if they are
a revalation of any sort to this community . ALL you have done is to say ,
oh hey we should believe in the concept of Taiga .... To a community of
people that should already embrace this vision since it is the very very
basic conceptual idea behind Taiga ( the current known opensource realxtend
project in development ) . IF a person wanted to create a walled garden
like SL , they are certainly not going to attempt to do that in Taiga , if
they have any brains , because as we showed last week , anybody can log into
a public Taiga grid without first creating an account at each Walled
Gardens Website .
In fact , these guys that come in here and talk about opensim+modrex are
not true parts of the Realxtend community ... They are actually part of the
opensim community and are always very careful to say Opensim+Modrex , rather
than Taiga or other word choices that describe the Realxtend concept. These
people do not embrace the Taiga Ideal , so they have to use the words
opensim+modrex , which means Vanilla opensim with a module included . Its
up to you to decide who's opinion is more valid , a person who comes into
the community, when something exciting like this happens and presents
themself as an "expert" , or a person like myself who is a part of the
community because she embraces the Rex concept in its entirity as it stands
now . I dont present myself as an expert , I present myself as a practical
user of the platform , who fully embraces the platform conceptually , as it
is .
These people want to take ownership and control of modrex away from the
Taiga grid concept and simply add the mesh to vanilla opensim . Many also
may passionately want this, because they want to run a solitary game
platform using the technology . Which means they are actually creating
walled gardens of there own with there games.. Which would be standing
there all alone and not interconnected like taiga grids are . For example
World of Warcraft is a walled garden just like SL is a walled garden .
Cool down your emotions a bit , just because I have a different view of a
world and want to try to build an active community of content creators
doesnt mean that I am the Devil herself ( IE SL ) , especially when I
fully embrace the Taiga platform , while I wonder if others do . Actually
the concept which you constantly put forth to us , ( opensim+modrex ) is
actually much closer to the SL concept than the one that I embrace (Taiga)..
This is because in Taiga is is impossible or very difficult to create an SL
type walled garden , while with Opensim+modrex it is very possible .
