Charlotte did NOT help me with any ideation, and a conversation with her did not lead me to this point. I have a the complete transcript of emails, exchanged between us in which i am suggesting ideas to her / inquiring if she is automatically creating the textures then later provided her with an illustrated examples of how to do it. In my origonal email I stated that i had thought of a similar idea but didn't do it yet because i didn't know how to automate inworld delivery. I have been creating actionscript projects along this vein for many years and do not have to 'grill' anyone for information on how do anything - i can simply use google and find any actionscript info i need. I am sorry that your friend has lead you to believe that I stole / borrowed an idea from her, or received ANY information from her. I have a full transcript of our email exchange, if anyone would like to read it please contact me at gbtunney [at] mac.com . Sioxsie, that is not correct.

I had overheard that you asked SODA's owner several questions regarding how she accomplished her web application. Just to be fair - I do think that what you did is rather unique, but no where in this post or anywhere else do you mention what you gained from Charlotte Morelett. I personally don't care - alls fair in business really, but being close to Charlotte and knowing what went on - well it makes me think twice about sharing information with anyone in this regard. I know that we should all be guarded and never let people have information that they could potentially run with or harm us - but as a fellow developer and artist what happened there was a little bit on the "grey" side of things. I think that you should credit her with at least helping with the ideation or at least note that you did have a conversation with her that led you to this point. Otherwise I view what you did in the same vein as Apple and Microsoft and what they did to Xerox. I do believe that if you pair up with the right partner though - this could potentially "revolutionize" the skin industry here in SL. It might even do the same for clothing really. “I was experimenting with manipulating textures on the avatar mesh around the same time Soda Skin Designer came out ( http://www.doomandjune.com/microphage/?p=116 ) so this is an extension of that project.”

I am adding to the list of stuff I am researching. That's so cool. ! Thanks! No, that is definately feasable and is an excellent suggestion. I am adding to the list of stuff I am researching.

Or am I fantasizing things that are so not feasible?

Soda's is more of a flash order form for custom, high quality skins that are original and created by hand. I was experimenting with manipulating textures on the avatar mesh around the same time Soda Skin Designer came out ( http://www.doomandjune.com/microphage/?p=116 ) so this is an extension of that project. I am more of a programmer than a skin artist, and my intent is experimenting/exploring new capabilities of flash/ actionscript/sl and automation, So, at first, they may seem similar because they both use flash and deal with skins, but Soda Skin Designer allows you to order custom work by an artist- Mirrorlabs is a experiment/tool to allow people to create skins on their own.

I think that makes it still pretty unique and avantgarde I agree Sioxie, and Charlotte has it with her own created skins, instead of with Eloh’s.
