Okay, I’m finally getting around to it — just took the first step, isolating the angels, first on my list of must-haves if you’re going to create a Celestial Palace, but don’t worry, I’ve also got great weapons on hand, houses and commercial buildings and streetlights and more.
The Angel Load contains the skins and models you need to be able to show them in your Orbs. She moves slightly in place in the “Stand” animation mode, of which there are several from which to choose for various actions. You get two different angelic types.
Swords are really optional when it comes to angels, but it’s up to you — they don’t use them as weapons, but as magical tools, as you’d expect.
There are some angelic sounds as well, but I’ll leave that up to you.
You can use this as a primary character, Avatar or quest guide or ally — the script for allies is very easy to use and requires no math.
You can have an ally walk anywhere around you or just behind you or just ahead of you if you think you’re going to run into minefields anytime soon.
The thing is, there are over 2,000 models. We have to decide how to handle this. You also need all the sounds, all the textures and a well-worn copy of “Gorby’s Blue Line Secrets” nearby.
I haven’t put the models up on etsy yet, and I’ll explain why at the morning meeting. We’ll discuss which models to release at that time. In the meanwhile, can I interest you in some interesting Change-of-Space items I happen to have now in my portfolio?
What I mean is, I’ve been working on zoom backdrops for you, and have posted them on Etsy in my Norton Street Gallery — you can’t miss it.
The thing is, with my zoom backdrops, you can put yourself anywhere, at any time, even it the voidness of the void, or at least outer space.
I have more star stuff on the way, have to get it photographed first, but have to build it before I photograph it. Build first, take screenshots later.
You could be broadcasting from your Rockwell Mansion bathroom! A quaint and elegant way to greet people online, wearing just a towel or a terry robe, and there are FIVE angles of this fabulously decorated and ultra-designed Master Bathroom.
That’s his name. Master Bathroom. Like Master Larry, who always gets the attention, always gets the bigger piece of cake, always has the good fortune, but enough about Master Larry — he’s been scared … to death.
In case the thing zipped right over your head, that’s a sort of quote from “Haunted Honeymoon”, a film you don’t want to miss. Might as well see it while you’re here on Planet Earth — the reruns are hard to catch in the Higher Spheres.
So if you wanted to broadcast from Munich, this would be the backdrop you’d probably want to use, although I have several Munich backdrops — this is only one of several.
You can easily put yourself in Ancient Rome — you can actually get the VIBES of this thing if you give it a chance.
After a while, you’ll actually FEEL what it was like to be on your computer in Ancient Rome, communicating with your friends in the 21st century.
Luckily, there’s a PC or some sort of computer located almost everywhere. Sometimes it’s not so easy to find it, but rest assured, it’s there somewhere, no matter where you seem to be.
So the arts and skills of Zoom Projection and Zoom Telepathy are well within reach, if you’re reading this.
If you’re not reading this, but you’re still getting it, you’re further along than we thought.
I have dozens of Roman and Egyptian scenes up. You’ll notice that I take into account the position of your head and shoulders as you speak from the chair into your computer camera and microphones.
I’m careful not to make the center of the picture the actual detailing — most of the detail and interest are on the farthest edges left and right.
Also, I take very strong precautions against distracting items, although in the case of elaborate ancient buildings, I’m totally committed to keeping it authentic, so in some rare cases, there might be a strong element to one side or the other.
You’re very welcome to try your luck & skill at taking some screenshots in the Ashram. It’s ridiculously easy to pile up hundreds of screenshots with their simple photo system, and you can output the images very large for reproduction.
I have some of those scenes up on zazzle and redbubble as examples, no intention of selling them — I post most of my stuff with the idea in mind of inspiring YOU to go thou forth and do likewise.
Of course, I don’t expect EVERYONE to try this stuff, only those who want to move upward on this particular path, which isn’t for everyone, which is why I don’t expect everyone to try this stuff, like I said before.
There is no substitute for a substitute, you know what I mean?
I hope you’ll go over to etsy to my store “Norton Street Gallery” to see all the various backdrops I’ve put up there for you, in the hope, as I said, of encouraging and inspiring you to try some of this your own self.
If you run into trouble, improvise, adapt and overcome, if you possibly can. If you can’t, chalk it up to a learning experience.
If you really get into the use of backdrops to alter your space, you’ll want to experiment with ANIMATED backdrops, which I’m soon to make available on Etsy, just like the still backdrops, only they move.
I’m just finishing up on the backdrops I’ve already made, and then I’ll turn my attention to the animated backdrops, and boy, are they hard to set up, where you can see the animation, and it doesn’t get distracting, which is the hard part.
I’ve got some esoteric backdrops that I might put in, if enough call for it develops — places like some of the smaller Greek islands like Delos and Lesbos, and oddball places, like the interior of a cavern or some witch’s hut — I have the most amazing models already in my inventory, and I’ll be using them as I can, to create new and interesting backdrops.
It’s not that I expect everyone to use my backdrops — I know my limitations, and I don’t have the social network to peddle millions of these things for cellphone use, which is the primary use for them, as far as I can see into the future, which is plenty far.
Keep in mind that you can get several million backdrops for your phone and computer right off the internet, most of them free, but where can YOU create a world, screenshoot it and then release the results for the use of millions of folks?
“Nothing I do will go viral except this.”
That’s the only thing, just that one sentence — “Nothing I do will go viral except this”. Sigh. It’s okay, I’m resolved to having nothing go viral, at least nothing that pays the rent and opens the doors to higher consciousness.
In short, I’m hoping for a dozen sales, none of them retail.
This is a Roman Cuchina — kitchen — showing the sack storage just out of reach of rats. You can’t see anything animated in this angle, but I have some animated ancient Roman kitchen backdrops coming up for sale as downloadable files, in just a few days.
Something else I’m working on is my Xmas shop on zazzle — I have things there for as little as two bucks, so it’s not about money.
If you don’t see something there, and you’d like it, let me know, and I’ll struggle to make it for you.
Oh, I just remembered — I have a shipment of new 2″x2″ gallery-wrapped canvases and an entire boxful of miniature easels for them to go onto when they’re painted with Soul Portraits and signed.
So what am I getting at??? Simply that I now have more canvases and I’ll catch up with the orders I have and am looking forward to new orders, as far ahead of holiday shipping as possible, please, and I won’t be working around the holidays — I take my Xmas seriously — so don’t send me any last-minute Xmas orders.
Hey, it’s only a few DAYS until the midterms and we find out how bad it’s going to be. Don’t forget, it’s more possible to survive a hydrogen bomb blast than it is a civil war, so make sure you have plenty of room to run like hell when they come for you and the horse you rode in on.
What I mean is, stay out of trouble if you can. If you can’t avoid trouble, make sure you have good cover, and keep moving.
Always remember, camouflage is not cover. Hiding behind a bush makes it harder to see you, but bullets penetrate a bush horribly easily, while a good solid rock can offer some protection.
On the other hand, if your area is being saturation-bombed to get rid of the troublesome population, just follow the procedure — put your jacket over your head and duck and cover, and don’t look at the flash of brilliant light.
An ordinary wooden school desk and a jacket to cover the head are adequate protections from a nuclear attack and, believe me, I have it on good authority — my third-grade teacher, Mrs. Veeder.
You can’t get a better source.
Speaking of sources, I have a book coming out soon, entitled “Banned in Boston”, which contains all the foulest limerick verses I know, set to music with copious footnotes and illustrations, $24.95 in paperback.
No, I’m kidding. I don’t really have the time or inclination to write a book like that — it’s just that someone should, that’s all. Someone should.
So I guess I’ll gather the gloom and get ready to spend some part of the early morning at breakfast in the cafe, before the campers get up and before even the counselors are up — it’s just us night workers, the ones who make the shoes.
Here’s Michele de Paris’ pizza parlor, just across from the temple, you can’t miss it if you try.
You can sit there at the table and feast, or get a pizza from the counter. There are a lot of things available in the Ashram, and you can ask anyone for help in finding out about them, and that goes double for anything related to the Afterlife, which is another thing you can do with these backdrops — take up a broadcasting studio in your ancient past, and see what you come up with.
Okay, gotta go to breakfast now.
See You At The Top!!!
