Second Life Spotlight - Salt Peppermint
https://community.secondlife.com/news/featured-news/second-life-spotlight-salt-peppermint-r11242/
Today, we’re shining a spotlight on Salt Peppermint, the creator behind Salt & Pepper, known for immersive fashion designs that use interactivity and storytelling to bring clothing to life in Second Life. How long have you been in Second Life, and how did you first hear about it? I joined back in 2006. My husband told me about it! Saying there is a platform where you can create things, and he thought I might like it. Your brand Salt & Pepper has been a staple of Second Life fashion for years. How did you get started, and how has your style or creative approach evolved? I originally started with a different brand back in 2006. At the time, I quickly realized that running a successful Second Life brand requires just as much time and dedication as a RL one. Since I was working full-time as a RL fashion designer, I simply couldn’t keep up, so I stepped away for a few years. When I returned, a close friend encouraged me to start creating again, which became Salt & Pepper in Feb 2015. While I already had experience designing collections and working with graphic software in RL, creating mesh was completely new to me, so I learned it from scratch through courses and countless tutorials. I began with small, unrigged accessories and gradually worked my way into clothing as I became more comfortable with the software. My style hasn’t changed dramatically, but it has expanded into different areas. My approach has always been to create things I genuinely enjoy making and not to chase trends or only what sells well. Most of my releases come as full sets, because I love building complete outfits around a specific theme. Dune interactive top & shorts You’re known for your interactive designs, like clothing that reacts to water or other environmental triggers. What inspired you to experiment with those kinds of effects? I’ve always seen clothing as a storytelling tool. Second Life allows that story to be interactive, whether it’s fabric reacting to water and sunlight, or an outfit transforming because of a place or a moment in time. Those kinds of changes make fashion feel immersive and alive, and that’s what motivates me to keep exploring those ideas. Madelyn interactive dress How do you decide which ideas to bring to life, and what part of the creative process do you enjoy most? Maybe that sounds weird, but the idea has "to speak to me". Ideas can come from anything in life, sometimes it's a conversation, sometimes it's watching a show, sometimes it's my personal hobbies, which is how most of my dance gear came to life. I can’t really pinpoint one part of the process I enjoy most, because that can vary from set to set. What I do love is being able to take a project from the first idea all the way to the final result on my own. While I collaborate with others for scripts and animations, the conceptual work is always mine. Building the story, mood, transformations, and overall vision that tie everything together, is something I do enjoy a lot. Cinderella Set What are some of your favorite recent releases or projects you’ve created? Not super recent but definitely one of my all-time favorites: Cinderella. It was definitely magical and amazing. Teal Aurelia has made an incredible video about it. The Great Gatsby has also been one of my personal favorites. And a more recent, interactive and embroidered Bikini set - Coco. Something not interactive but was a lot of fun to make is Cat. And I love love making all things ballet - Swanlake. Gatsby Set The fashion landscape in Second Life has changed a lot over the years. How have events, new technologies, or community trends influenced your work? The Second Life fashion landscape has changed significantly, especially when it comes to events. Over time, there have been more and more sale and shopping events, to the point where participation can easily start

to feel obligatory rather than inspiring. I made a conscious decision to cut my event participation by more than half and instead focus on building my store group and community. That shift allowed me to stop depending on events altogether and to choose only the ones I genuinely enjoy, without pressure. On the technical side, the introduction of PBR has had a major impact on my work. It completely changed my texturing workflow, very much for the better. While there are still some quirks to be worked out, PBR has opened up new possibilities and fundamentally influenced how I create. Swanlake Set Tell us about some of the other Residents in SL who inspire you and whose work you admire. There are so many that I admire, to name just a few: Vaygah Varriale - I could not survive without our chats. She helps me to keep my head straight and is incredibly inspiring, not only in business-related things but in life. Mattia Delwood - I will forever admire his scripting skills and what he accomplished with MD Labs. L'Entfant Terrible, who I have met long before Salt & Pepper existed. A beautiful soul and her creations are just incredible. Teal Aurelia and Vrutega for their absolutely incredible machinima, Charlotte Bartlett for her amazing houses and knowledge. Polyester Partridge for her incredible jewelry. Masa Plympton - Deadwool and Walton F. Wainwright - Contraption, their skills make my jaw drop on a regular basis. Hunter - Stealthic, incredible hair, Grazia Horwitz - I adore her blog. Cat set Where can people see your work? Please share links to your sites and social media accounts. All of my work can be found on Flickr. Additionally, on Primfeed, which I started about a year ago, so there is much less there at the moment. Also, Facebook and, of course, my own website: xxsaltandpepperxx.com Watch Fashion Made in Second Life featuring Salt & Pepper Thank you, Salt, for sharing your creativity with the Second Life community and for designing fashion that invites Residents to express emotion, movement, and story through what they wear.

WebRTC Voice Open Beta is Expanding
https://community.secondlife.com/news/featured-news/webrtc-voice-open-beta-is-expanding-r11245/
The new year brings new features, and coming soon is a major improvement to Voice Services in Second Life: WebRTC-based voice. Communication is a key part of what makes Second Life great and we want to improve communications for everyone. With WebRTC as the underlying technology we are not only improving and modernizing the quality and clarity of the voices you hear, we are also expanding the features available, starting with voice moderation and exploring many other potential benefits such as voice transcription, leading into real time translation in the future. How you can participate 🎙 Be an early adopter of WebRTC Voice Since our first call for volunteers, we have nearly 200 regions using WebRTC Voice today and we’re gaining confidence that this new experience is closer than ever to a full release. We need more active voices talking inworld on a daily basis to ensure we’ve balanced everything just right for a smooth transition to the entire grid. If you’re a region owner and enjoy using voice as part of your inworld experience, you’re the perfect candidate to help us get the grid talking! To get your region on the upgraded WebRTC Voice servers, please file a support request at https://lindenlab.freshdesk.com/support/home select type Land & Region > Other Land, provide the Region name and request an upgrade to WebRTC Voice. Our Support team will restart your region and let you know when your region is swapped over to using the WebRTC voice system. ⚖️ Voice Moderation Alpha Viewer Voice chat is a powerful social tool and this Alpha viewer + WebRTC Voice gives you a new ability: you can now moderate voice use at the parcel level. Did someone just forget to mute their mic at your party? Jarring. No problem, you can deal with that by muting and unmuting individual avatars. This Alpha viewer functionality is limited to regions utilizing WebRTC voice. See the release notes for more details. What we’re testing: Parcel-level voice moderation controls Temporary actions like muting voice (and nearby attached sounds) for everyone on a parcel Delegating moderation by parcel owners or group roles The Voice Moderation Alpha Viewer is a good fit for: Landowners, event hosts, moderators, and anyone who regularly manages shared voice spaces. Important note about Alpha Viewer feedback: Our team is specifically focused on feedback for the tools in development, not policy changes or requests that aren't related specifically to WebRTC voice and the voice moderation tools in testing in the alpha viewer. We’re looking for feedback on usability and completeness, and we appreciate your help in building the best tools we can for the community's needs and enjoyment. 📣 Voice Features Feedback Those who have already opted in to the WebRTC Beta we thank you! Please keep the feedback coming in, additional suggestions may be submitted at https://feedback.secondlife.com or for those who prefer Discord join us in the #voice channel on the official Second Life Discord server. https://discord.gg/secondlifeofficial Thank you from all of us! — The Second Life Team

Second Life Spotlight - ByteDreams Slade
https://community.secondlife.com/news/featured-news/second-life-spotlight-bytedreams-slade-r11249/
Today, we’re shining a spotlight on ByteDreams Slade, a long-time Second Life photographer, stylist, and shape creator whose editorial imagery and avatar design celebrate fashion, identity, and representation through a deeply personal lens. How long have you been in Second Life, and how did you first hear about it? I joined Second Life in mid-July 2007. I was a member of the Renderosity and DeviantArt communities using Daz, Poser, and Bryce, and fractal softwares. I heard about Second Life in one of those forums. I was thrilled with the notion of creating/becoming a living doll in a digital world and making her move, dance, eat, play, and all that! Tell us about your avatar’s style, how it has evolved over the years, and how you got into fashion photography. Frankly, I feel that my avatar's style developed alongside Second Life itself. Second Life also feeds my love of fashion. I'm a New Yorker, and fashion was all around me every day! I also did fashion merchandising and design coursework at the Fashion Institute of Technology and Parsons School of Design. I worked in retail and wholesale for many years and taught myself to knit, crochet, and sew. Exposure to NY's fashion market made fashion more affordable. You’ve described yourself as a “shape alchemist,” and you create all of your own shapes. How do you approach shaping an avatar, from research and reference to the final look? I use Pinterest and magazines such as Vogue and Elle to reference fashion design and photography. Armani magazine spreads from a couple of years ago were the biggest influence. I have collected several mesh heads over the years, too, and shaped them all from scratch. Part of my coursework included anatomy. I don't remember all the names, but after so many years, I have a feeling of what muscle, fat, and bone do underneath the skin, so shaping got pretty easy after a while. I look at a skin and manipulate each feature on the fly until I get what I want. Your images have a polished, editorial quality. How do you think about lighting, composition, and expression when you’re creating a photograph? Any tips and tricks you’re willing to share? I do a lot of facial/skin blog and accessory posts, and I believe in putting the subject/face forward. Lighting and composition depend on what my subject is and what it's made of, ie; skin tone, fabrics, jewelry. It's rare that my images will contain a lot of other elements in them. I prefer to focus and keep my images easy on the eyes. A tip for realistic shine on melanin skins - I darken body shines often, and sometimes faces too. I don't darken the mesh, I darken the skin texture itself using greyscale/RGB shades mostly to soften the shines, and I use BOM neck fixes/blends on top of face and body skins when necessary, but by keeping the RGB values the same, it's only rare that I have to resort to those. Representation is central to your work, and Second Life gives creators a lot of freedom around identity and self-expression. How has that creative freedom influenced the way you showcase diverse beauty through your avatars and photography? I am a black woman in the U.S. Although my real-life experience is a part of my Second Life, in Second Life I can portray myself as whoever I want, whenever I want. Beauty is not exclusive to a single color or age, and neither is fashion. Most of the time, my avatar is presented as a woman in the age range of 28 and older. I'm not going to be for everyone, and I'm comfortable with that. At the same time, the creators I've worked with over the years are comfortable with me and my style. I've watched Second Life become more diverse with each passing year, and may it continue along that path. There's room for everyone! You’ve received several community awards and recognition over the years. Which moments or milestones have been

I worked in retail and wholesale for many years and taught myself to knit, crochet, and sew. Exposure to NY's fashion market made fashion more affordable. You’ve described yourself as a “shape alchemist,” and you create all of your own shapes. How do you approach shaping an avatar, from research and reference to the final look? I use Pinterest and magazines such as Vogue and Elle to reference fashion design and photography. Armani magazine spreads from a couple of years ago were the biggest influence. I have collected several mesh heads over the years, too, and shaped them all from scratch. Part of my coursework included anatomy. I don't remember all the names, but after so many years, I have a feeling of what muscle, fat, and bone do underneath the skin, so shaping got pretty easy after a while. I look at a skin and manipulate each feature on the fly until I get what I want. Your images have a polished, editorial quality. How do you think about lighting, composition, and expression when you’re creating a photograph? Any tips and tricks you’re willing to share? I do a lot of facial/skin blog and accessory posts, and I believe in putting the subject/face forward. Lighting and composition depend on what my subject is and what it's made of, ie; skin tone, fabrics, jewelry. It's rare that my images will contain a lot of other elements in them. I prefer to focus and keep my images easy on the eyes. A tip for realistic shine on melanin skins - I darken body shines often, and sometimes faces too. I don't darken the mesh, I darken the skin texture itself using greyscale/RGB shades mostly to soften the shines, and I use BOM neck fixes/blends on top of face and body skins when necessary, but by keeping the RGB values the same, it's only rare that I have to resort to those. Representation is central to your work, and Second Life gives creators a lot of freedom around identity and self-expression. How has that creative freedom influenced the way you showcase diverse beauty through your avatars and photography? I am a black woman in the U.S. Although my real-life experience is a part of my Second Life, in Second Life I can portray myself as whoever I want, whenever I want. Beauty is not exclusive to a single color or age, and neither is fashion. Most of the time, my avatar is presented as a woman in the age range of 28 and older. I'm not going to be for everyone, and I'm comfortable with that. At the same time, the creators I've worked with over the years are comfortable with me and my style. I've watched Second Life become more diverse with each passing year, and may it continue along that path. There's room for everyone! You’ve received several community awards and recognition over the years. Which moments or milestones have been
especially meaningful to you, and why? I treasure the accolades/awards I've received over the years. It makes me feel "seen" and feel like I play a positive, contributing part here in Second Life. They've all been meaningful, but to have been recognized twice - I'd say that was definitely a most meaningful moment. Where can people see your work?

Now Showing at the Second Life Cinema for February: Hotel Victoria by Huckleberry Hax
https://community.secondlife.com/news/featured-news/now-showing-at-the-second-life-cinema-for-february-hotel-victoria-by-huckleberry-hax-r11250/
Calling all machinima fans! The Second Life Cinema is now showing Hotel Victoria, a feature-length machinima by longtime Resident and award-winning filmmaker Huckleberry Hax. This special cinema presentation combines all four episodes of Hotel Victoria, Season One, into a single 75-minute viewing experience, available on demand throughout February. Hotel Victoria is a quiet, atmospheric drama inspired by the first COVID-19 lockdown. Set almost entirely within a meticulously built hotel, the story explores isolation, connection, and the emotional weight of stillness during a time when the world slowed down. Known for his thoughtful pacing and strong visual storytelling, Huck brings a deeply personal and immersive approach to serialized machinima. Unlike his previous feature-length films, STÖMOL and WAARHEID, Hotel Victoria was created as a four-part series, with each episode crafted to stand on its own while contributing to a larger narrative. For the Cinema, the four episodes of Season 1 are presented back-to-back, making it ideal for a relaxed, uninterrupted theater visit with friends. Watch Inworld:You can watch Hotel Victoria on demand at the Second Life Cinema for the rest of February. Stop by anytime and enjoy the full feature in a shared virtual theater setting. Make sure your media and sound settings are enabled. If you encounter playback issues, try toggling the play or pause button until the video starts. Watch Online:If you would like to watch the series outside of Second Life, all four episodes of Hotel Victoria, Season One, are available as a playlist on Huckleberry Hax’s YouTube channel. You can also explore more of Huck’s work, including his machinima, writing, and behind-the-scenes insights, on his blog. Settle into your seat, turn up the sound, and enjoy this thoughtful and beautifully crafted cinematic experience at the Second Life Cinema.

Second Life Spotlight - 0magika0
https://community.secondlife.com/news/featured-news/second-life-spotlight-0magika0-r11251/
Today, we’re shining a spotlight on 0magika0, the creator behind Angel Purple, an original machinima series in Second Life inspired by love, music, magic, and the bonds that connect souls across worlds and lifetimes. How long have you been in Second Life, and how did you first hear about it? I’ve been on Second Life since around 2006. I played mostly for fun, with some breaks along the way. My avatar, 0magika0, is 4 years old now. I discovered the platform through a friend who was already playing. When did you start creating machinima in Second Life, and what drew you to this form of storytelling? I started creating machinima in 2025, so it’s very new for me! What attracted me most is that Second Life lets me create exactly what I see in my head. The possibilities are endless: customization, textures, mesh, building… everything is created by Residents. I could finally imagine and bring to life all my drawings, stories, and ideas exactly as I visualized and wrote them in my mind. It was a dream to create a fully customized world. What inspired you to create Angel Purple? How did the idea first come to you, and how would you describe its world and themes? Angel Purple was born from the love I have for my partner. We met on Second Life and have been together for almost 12 years. We are inseparable, and I am endlessly in love with him. At first, I made small videos of him singing, just for us, staging him in little scenes. Since I’ve always loved writing stories, filming, and creating videos, it naturally grew into a series. Angel Purple tells the story of two souls who find each other across worlds and lifetimes, bound forever, and reunited on Earth to live this human experience together. The world of the series is magical, paranormal, psychedelic, sometimes strange, filled with music, love, and witchcraft. My real love story, my inner magic, and my paranormal experiences inspired it. Almanzo and I are rather wild; we prefer animals and, while we love people, we’ve often encountered unkindness. We stay true to ourselves and struggle to understand a world filled with injustice and cruelty. Being together feels right, and I think this also contributed to creating our universe. Maybe the series is our way of opening up to the world, but only in positive ways. Do you work alone on Angel Purple, or are there other Residents who help with filming, voices, music, or ideas? I work on Angel Purple with my partner, Almanz0. We create everything together: scripts, music, voices, and scenes. Sometimes we invite extras or friends to join and share in our universe. For the voices: Almanzo sings for me, but he’s shy and a bit wild. As soon as he knows someone is watching, he can’t sing. We work a little in hiding, a bit like Daft Punk, who he is a fan of and whose music has inspired us. I take his recordings and modify and arrange his voice to bring the characters to life. For some voices, I also use Voicemod to create different personalities, adjusting everything manually. The music is created and played by us with real instruments, then remixed through BandLab. The lyrics are written by us, and some music comes from Mubert. Season 1 of Angel Purple includes eight episodes. What was it like bringing that first season to life? Season 1 started very spontaneously, almost carelessly. We had our small plot of land, full of bugs, and I didn’t really know what I was doing. But passion and love kept me going. Seeing the reactions of friends, family, and viewers motivated me. We went for it, improving episode by episode. I wrote, recorded dialogue, and assembled everything with CapCut. I had prepared a lot of music in advance, each track connected to the episode and often containing hidden messages. Everything came together naturally, as if all we had collected over the years was meant to finally meet. With Season 2

Everything came together naturally, as if all we had collected over the years was meant to finally meet. With Season 2
coming up, what can viewers expect next, and when do you hope to release the next episode? For Season 2, the world changes. The magical pact tied to witchcraft, giving living people the talents of Angel Purple’s artists, will be much more present. There will be more magic and witchcraft. Characters will face losses, doubts, and challenges, sometimes manipulated by demons. Magika and Almanzo will begin to remember fragments and synchronicities from their past lives. Expect even more drama, hope, dreams, and magic, exploring the complexity of the characters and their relationships. What has been the most rewarding part of creating an original series in Second Life so far? The most rewarding part is finishing an episode and seeing the viewers’ reactions. When they are fully immersed, loving or hating the characters, it means the story touched them. I’m a fan of The Walking Dead, and Angel Purple is inspired by it: instead of zombies, there are demons. The characters must fight, form small groups, and survive, but love and kindness remain their strength. Where can people watch Angel Purple and follow your work?
