Cupidity Creations Very many of my creations come from seeing someone elses product and thinking "I could do that better". One example is my fight ring. I was invited by a friend to a wrestling match in SL and couldn't resist examining the ropes around the ring and was aghast when I found that they were over 25 prims. So I set about creating the same thing using only 3 prims, and I think it looks as good or better than any similar configuration I have seen - typically well over 20 prims. Very often I will see or try someone else's creation and my dissatisfaction with that, and other similar products on the market, will drive me to create something better. Typically I find that they: * have too many prims * are of poor quality * do not perform as I think they should One example of the latter is my Hemi Charger. I generally try to avoid entering into markets that are already saturated with competition. The car market on SL is one such market. It's not that I am afraid of the competition; it is just difficult to reach customers in a market with so many offerings, but I got to driving some vehicles and was displeased with a couple of things: * you pretty much have to take your finger off the forward key (the throttle) in order to shift using the PgUp/PgDn keys * they fly, and sometimes would do so when I didn't want them to. Cars don't fly. If I want to fly I'll buy an airplane or helicopter. Some of my other creations come about when I, or a friend, search in vain for something I want and can't find it on the market, or can't find anything of suitable quality. An example of this is my sculpted grappling hook. I could find plenty of nice sculpted anchors, but no grappling hooks, so I set about making one. Often times my creations will begin as a favor for a friend that later turns into a marketable creation. My DJ Vote device for example was created for a DJ friend of mine, and I decided others might like to have one. Many of my other creation are simply a result of my own insane imagination and often that of my friends. Some are just a whim that comes out of thin air. Some are even a result of a mistake gone right. Forward to Friend | Comments (0) Only SLProfiles members are allowed to POST COMMENTS. If you are a member, please make sure you login first.
