I want my concept to solely base on the idea "Second Life", because to me this isn't just a program for people to meet, social and have fun but rather, another level of identity to us, the person that is controlling the avatar, because what is second life? different identities? different forms? but they are all you in a distinct way. So I kind of want to play with this idea of identities of each individuals, my way in pursuing on the concept I'm thinking making different models (8-10 all rigged models hopefully) for people to come and play with, so eventually people can click on the model and get the full rigged and functional (I dont know if this is possible). So it's like a second life within the second life, the avatar that we control is also controlling its own avatar. There will be also some portraits that I model just for display purpose.
*I'm having some technical problems when uploading my rigged model from maya, I rigged the model in maya and it functions perfectly and the mesh itself can be upload to SL, but not the joints and the riggings, I have no idea why...
Please give a sense of what the visual ideas will look like. Also please consider the final project form - will we be looking at high-res photos, or videos? Is the avatars' identity story told as a performance or a play? If you give up control over what the users can do with the avatars, does that change the idea of identity? Are the 8-10 avatars linked together as a group? Do they have identities of their own? See also http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Mesh/Troubleshooting
