Ponies Invade Second Life

A brony over on Second Life has released a reskinnable pony template for everyone to use.  It is currently in beta and he is looking for people to test it out. 

He has it up in the marketplace post, but more to give instruction (He isn't actually selling it right now). You can find all information on downloading/applying it on the page below, or copypasted after the break


Second Life Ponies


these things sure to have an over-abundance of plot...

COPY PASTE AFTER THE BREAK!



~~~THIS AVATAR IS NOT COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE YET~~~
~~~BUT YOU CAN RECEIVE A FREE TEST COPY~~~
Please note that I have the price set so high so nobody buys this, but you can participate in beta ~~FREE OF CHARGE!~~
This avatar is currently in script beta testing phase within the "Galactic Toast" and "Bronies" Second Life groups.
To participate in Beta Testing, you must create a Second Life account at http://secondlife.com/ and
download the Linden Lab official viewer from http://secondlife.com/support/downloads/?lang=en-US to activate your account.
If you wish to participate in beta testing, join the groups "Bronies" and "Galactic Toast" and look for the avatar box in the past notices.
Included in beta package is Basic Pony avatar with male and female heads, Color Changer HUD, and basic beta animation overrider.
Update Log:
~V0.2 Changed permissions of scripts to fix "Mark Changer" failure
~V0.1 Initial Beta release
Please note that this is a BETA avatar, bugs and problems are par for the course, and should be reported to Curly Fride.
Also if you buy this from this listing, the only item you will receive is a texture, so don't buy it.
Proceeds from final product release will go towards support for a full Equestria Simulator and Roleplaying system.

More 3D pony stuff? Awesome.

Kujiiro said...

These ponies have incredibly fat asses.

mat-shades said...

I now have a purpose to go back to second life

Now we just need a female pony one.

misnamed said...

Great, now ponies have made me download Second Life.

Pegasi said...

Kinda cool but also creepy.
Don't take this to far.

Cool but no thanks need to me anatomically correct because good grief their butts are too defined

Urimas Ebonheart said...

is it me or do there flanks look swollen?

Anonymous said...

*looks at price*
No thanks

Basharoonskis said...

Wow, that's pretty cool, was never a fan of Second Life though but good on you Brony.

Also, after reading these comments I went back for a second look - and yes, they do have very fat asses (I lol'd hard). Should probably be fixed.

50 bucks?
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
no

The price is a placeholder... You'd know that if you'd spent more than five seconds on reading the post.

FFFFFFFF, I wanted to try something like this, but I haven't had the time or the functionality to do so. Kudos to the person working on it, they've gotten further than I ever would anyways. XD

The "fat flanks", so far it looks like an unfinished issue of getting the hip joints to rotate without totally looking wrong, and disguising the normal avatar body. It can be done, but requires fine-tuning, but as a beta, it probably hasn't been covered yet. I'm not sure what combination of methods were used to form that shape anyhoo.

A BIGGER concern, I've not been playing for a while, but I wonder if there's any sort of potential snag in the future with selling these avatars or maintaining that sim, with MLP being some other entity's copyright/whatever.

If they got PERMISSION to make stuff in Second Life, that'd be amazing. Worst comes to worst, Hasbro decides to troll fans.

CONFOUND THESE PONIES, THEY DRIVE ME TO SECOND LIFE!!!

FFFFFFUUUUUUUU-!!!

I see Torley becoming a watermelon pony in the near future.

(Torley Linden is a popular Linden known for his love of life and watermelons)

A reason for me to actually give a damn! ((...for second life))

how in lords name do I get them?!?!

I jooined both groups, and found the post. WHAT THE HELL DO I DO?!?!?!?!?!

Anonymous said...

NOOOOOOOOOOO I'M done with SL stop dragging me back in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is it about ponies that invade every part of life that make me want to get back into stuff like this?! whats next World of war - http://knights.calltoreason.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/celestialsteed.jpg - ok, thats technically before MLP...

Ewyndall said...

Wait...Second Life is still going? O.o

misnamed said...

Wow, figuring out SL's monstrous user interface took hours. You have to actually have your avatar hold the box just so you can open it and put the stuff into your inventory? The box itself was already in the inventory for pony's sake!

And after finally managing to ponify myself, I dunno where to go. Is there someplace where the brony group gathers?

the (fallen) Princess Luna said...

Yay, a reason for Casey Schreiner to mention ponies on the MMO Report, and thus bring-back 'WTF Second Life'.

Dash (Aka Dashie) said...

Consarn it... I wish I wasn't banned from Secondlife...

Kira Zobel said...

Woohoo, I'm in SL and I'm going to try this right now.
I have a friend making one too.

Funny that the male one would be finished first. Unless this IS the female model.

I tried second life a while back but my PC was a bit slow with it and I really could not get into it.

Maybe I'll try it agian but I think only the freaks are still playing it.

Anonymous said...

That things name is Ralph? lol I saw pics of him before, never knew it was part of more then an inside joke XD

aslan gelbfarb [in SL] said...

(Also it's worth noting that the flanks look much better in person)

Its like the Bronies in Facebook http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bronies/201110553264215 or bronies in sims or bronies in minecraft LOL.

Tim_Kangaroo said...

That might almost get me to start playing Second Life.

Great, now if only SL wasn't overrun with furries with genitals bigger than the actual character model.

They are gone...

Hayquill said...

To anypony just joining Second Life, I'd like to recommend the Phoenix client.

Anonymous said...

Downloaded the new SL...nothing works. I can't edit my avatar anymore and it's all changed. Also I can't join groups. What the heck..

StarShade said...

Been there, done that.

And I suggest using the latest Viewer 2.

Anonymous said...

The link to the Pony Beta doesn't work :(

Anonymous said...

It's viewer 2 I can't get to work

Jarred Stoneshield said...

In order to get the pony avatar and all the accesories, you just join to the "Bronies" group and get all the items they have in group notices, or go to the sim called "Sim" and have the base pony here. However, I suggest to join to the group to meet awesome bronies.And, if you see an Alair bronie, say hi to him.

Drax said...

Can anyone point me towards a Second Live for Dummies guide? I made an account, joined the group, and I THINK I downloaded the package, something called Earth pony Beta. No friggin clue what to do with it. When i double click I get a box on my hand. Can anypony gimme a clue??

Anonymous said...

find a area that allows you to build, then drag the item from your inventory to the ground

the box will "rez" then you can right click and select open

then select copy to inventory and it should appear in your inventory in a folder called whatever the boxes name was

Anonymous said...

oh.. there can be assholes but also decent individuals in SL.. dont get discouraged by the bad apples

shado said...

Is there any way I can get this now? The links to Sim and MF Bay don't work, and the notice containing the beta package seems to have been deleted after its 14 days of existence

Anonymous said...

new to second life, joined for this, dont see the package mentioned in notices. any halp?

MrAnthology said...

I'm in the exact same situation as the 2 above me. 14 days, joined to try this out, all that. Any help here?
