And The Next Step…..
So, the core of my new poseball rezzing system is complete!
Uber easy to set up, menu driven, and incredibly solid….. it can just about handle any number of poseballs one would need, and with built-in LockGuard support, you can chain up any number of AVs in any number of positions with any amount of chains you can conjure. First, I should say, one wonderful thing to note about LockGuard that no other chaining system supports is the ability to attach as many chains as you like to a single prim, and this can make for some very interesting suspension and chaining setups, like single and double suspension points without duplicating or wasting prims on the device itself! Of course, the big challenge with setting up a chaining system for multiple avatars is that it *could* have been a lot of link messages to pass back and forth….. but, not so! Another wonderful and unique feature about LockGuard is its ability to be commanded to join point A and B from point C in a single call without having to negotiate the connection. This allows for some quick and easy processing of chain data!
Of course, what does this mean to you…… the user? Or the potential creator who will use this system?
This means, the poseball rezzing system is uber efficient. Three link messages is all it takes to rez a pose and rez any number of chains from the avatar to the device. The 1st link message is the pose selected from the menu, the 2nd is a description of the pose and its data based on your menu choice, and the 3rd is what LockGuard attachments it will use (and its chain setup) if required (entirely optional). And yes, that one single link message can contain chaining data for a dozen LockGuard attachments and its associated options if you choose! The processing of the data is minimal, and the poseball system is able to do what it needs to do very quickly and very efficiently….. best of all, this system does not need regular resetting, or in the case of heavy use like in Free Sex Areas, it will not need near-daily resetting. This system is fast and solid, even under heavy usage.
So, how do I know this system can hold up to the challenge?
Well, it has been! The first draft of this system was released on the market in my Capture RP Cargo Van several months ago….. while the Cargo Van didn’t contain the LockGuard Chaining system or the extra databases needed for higher pose volumes, the principles remain the same….. and the Cargo Van’s pose system has been a remarkable success under heavy use in various Free Sex Areas. Even the demo….. which has been on display in the Dictatorshop for several months…. has never been reset or re-rezzed. Imagine that!
Like LockGuard changed the way we deal with particle chains….. this system just may change the way we deal with furniture.
Of course, since this is a new iteration…. a new generation, it does need to be judged for itself on the market. So, in the next few weeks I will be releasing a few furniture items using this pose system to be sure that this draft, like the previous, can stand up to the rigors of good, solid, hard use. ![]()
