2012 Nov 9 - "Getting the Code You Need"
LOCATION
Second Life Non-Profit Commons
DESCRIPTION
Maybe you settled for freebie scripts that don’t do enough or off-the-shelf scripts that include code that you don’t use and just cause lag. Maybe you have a great project idea, but you are intimidated by scripters who speak techno-babble. Maybe you can’t even decide whether to hire someone or to learn LSL yourself. Maybe you’ve tried hiring someone and they ended up creating something utterly different from your vision.
On November 9, Opal Lei will squeeze as many tips as she could in half an hour to help you:

Prior to discovering SL, she worked in the software industry for 14 years, including a stint at Microsoft, where she documented APIs and coded basic snippets for the .NET SDK. Her first LSL scripting project was a docent game for the International Spaceflight Museum. As her alt Treasure Box, she had also choreographed and coded the burning of the Burning Life/Burn2 temple for four years.(www.VirtuaSapient.com)

On November 9, Opal Lei will squeeze as many tips as she could in half an hour to help you:
- Decide when to modify a freebie script and when to leave it alone.
- Decide when to hire, when to purchase off the shelf, and when to do it yourself.
- Choose the right scripter if you decide to hire.
- Effectively share your vision with a hired scripter to get the results you want.

2011 Aug 13 - "Bringing Back the 3rd D in 3D"
LOCATION
Second Life Community Convention (SLCC)
Oakland, California, USA
DESCRIPTION
We live in a 3D virtual world, and yet we view it in 2D on a flat screen; stereoscopy brings back the third dimension to virtual photography. In this workshop, Eleanor / Opal starts with an introduction to stereoscopy with examples of her own stereoscopic photographs of virtual fashion. Participants will come away with their own stereo pair of virtual photographs, which can then be combined for cross-viewing or for parallel viewing using any photo editor or formatted into a red-cyan anaglyph using Stereo Photo Maker.
BIO
The digital avatars Opal Lei and Treasure Box are animated by the biological avatar named Eleanor (Lea) Tesoro. She discovered stereoscopy in late 2009 by searching on "3D" in Flickr and she has been an avid fan of stereoscopy since. She is one of a small set of stereo photographers specializing in stereo framing, and one of only a handful of stereo photographers in Second Life.
