Evian No Longer Naive

Evian, the bottled water company, is now in SL, with an intriguing slant on their product. Pursuing the slogan "The most important body of water is your own", avatars who pick up a bottle from an Evian vending machine will also receive a new skin to wear. This skin will supposedly feature better texturing and lighting, thus giving your av a 'healthier' look.

Has anyone tried this yet? Being a wolfie, I can't wear skins, so I rely on you all. Furthermore, anyone out there with one of these vending machines on your land? Did Evian approach you for the privilege? Did you get anything out of it? I'm all curious!

CyberExtruder Puts You Into SL on the Easy

Avatar Island is a new sim being built by Virginia-based Cranial Tap, on behalf of CyberExtruder, a 3D imaging studio with interesting plans for residents. Utilizing their proprietary software, CyberExtruder will take a resident's photograph and turn it into a wearable skin for their avatar.

It's not clear whether this will be a free or paid service. CyberExtruder is also planning on offering free space on their island to graphics artists who are willing to partner with CE to offer residents a wide range of avatar customization services, including animation. I've tried to make an avatar that looks like the RL me, but got too frustrated with the puzzling texture mapping required for customization. I imagine I'll make use of this service when it launches.

(Thanks, Jack!)
