Linden Lab Adds Avatar Physics (I.E. Bouncing Breasts) to Latest Second Life Dev Viewer, Here's How to Get Them
The latest version of Snowstorm 2.6.3, Linden Lab's open source Second Life viewer (which you can download here at this link) comes with an impressive innovation: Avatar body physics. Which is a very high-faluting way of saying: Virtual bouncing breasts, and an avatar booty which responds to gravitational pull. Don't take my word for it, watch this Newtonian demo video by Whirly Fizzle, which is almost certainly not safe for work viewing (unless, that is, you work in burlesque):
Breast physics, as regular Second Life users know, have been part of open source, third party Second Life viewers like Emerald for two years, contributing in significant part to their widespread adaption by the userbase. (Arguably making them more popular than the official viewer itself.) When he became Linden Lab's new CEO, Rod Humble said, of third party viewers, "I do have various features I like from each that I think we should learn from." Maybe this is what Mr. Humble had in mind? (If so, then I'm inclined to say: Rod... dude!)
In any case, if you want to try this out on your own avatar (and really, how can you not), Ms. Fizzle helpfully has a how-to after the break:
"Avatar Physics is a wearble clothing layer. So open inventory, click the +sign at the bottom (Add new item) -> New clothes -> New Physics. This will make a new Physics clothing layer in your inventory. Wear this. Then go to My Appearance tab on sidebar, Wearing tab, and right click the Physics layer -> Edit Outfit. Click the Physics layer and choose Edit this wearable. You can then edit all the Physics attributes, which are:
- Breasts Bounce
- Breasts Cleavage
- Belly Bounce
- Butt Bounce
- Butt Sway
- Advanced parameters
- Breast Mass
- Breast Smoothing
- Breast Gravity
- Breast Bounce Drag
- Breast Cleavage Drag
- Belly Mass
- Belly Smoothing
- Belly Gravity
- Belly Bounce Drag
- Butt Mass
- Butt Smoothing
- Butt Gravity
- Butt Bounce Drag
- Butt Sway Drag
Thank you, Ms. Fizzle. And God bless us all, and protect us and keep us. Especially from the flying nipples which will soon be whirling our way.
