Getting 3DWallpaper app on your Nokia

2011-01-21T23:06:00.001-08:00

Just stumble on a cool wallpapers app on the Ovi Store

The app is called 3D Wallpapers and it's made by one of my fav websites Koinup.com

Basically you can install the app on your Nokia Smartphone and save hundreds of wallpapers f0r your screen. I knew from some time the images included in the wallpapers, because I'm a fan of Koinup.com and I like them. So it would make sense to get them on my phone, too.

Here some of these nice images

3D Screensavers by Koinup

2010-03-06T00:33:00.000-08:00

Just read about this cool project by Koinup: 3D Wallpapers

Basically they're collecting the best images of virtual worlds and games and turning them in wallpapers for an upcoming mobile app that will be available on several mobile operators.

I think that the value of this initiative is that it brings contents, images, fanart inspired by virtual worlds and videogames to a new level. So, kudos to Koinup!

In order to pick the best images. Koinup launched a couple of contest, the first is for Second Life Snapshots, the other is for picking the best avatars.

Some nice virtual worlds communities to join

2009-03-15T03:36:00.000-07:00

These days, I'm exploring some of the most fashinating virtual worlds groups on Koinup
so let me hint you something cool I have seen:
Did you know there are so many amazing landscapes in the sims 2
It is cool also the idea of expressing Virtual Emotion
but the most cool group is this one about the most funny avatars of the metaverse

the most fantastic second life sites

2009-02-04T22:55:00.001-08:00

Koinup launch an open forum on the most favorite second life sims....
I'm not using a lot second life these weeks...
but my fav are:

Intemptesta Nox
Templum ex Obscurum

Machinima for Virtual Worlds

2009-01-24T01:35:00.000-08:00

Just discovered this nice page on Koinup
it is dedicated to machinima

I didn't know they have such a directory of videos created within virtual worlds...
well I suggest you to have a look...

Bletaverse for second life

2008-12-30T08:27:00.000-08:00

I'm reading on Vint Falken blog that a new blog service is spreading out for second life users.....I'm quite new in second life, but it seems that Bletaverse, this new service is quite interesting....

I tried also some weeks ago Bloghud, that is offering also some crosspost options for crossposting from sl to bloghud and from bloghud to wordpress and blogspot blogs and I think it is cool service, too

I'm quite impressed by the numbers of Bletaverse, they claim to have already thousands of users....it is quite interesting because it is a relative new service....

In the comments Vint Falken and others suggest Bletaverse to introduce new features for Bletaverse in order to get more comfortable for already networked people....

I have Koinup, Flickr, Myrl, Avatars United account so I particolarly would welcome the crosspost option from Bletaverse to Koinup, which is a popular hangouts for many second life citizens

Sims Artists Community

2008-12-19T09:15:00.000-08:00

Just stumbleupon this nice stuff on Digg
It is about this fantastic example of Sims Art

Myrl Badges

2008-12-16T23:06:00.000-08:00

Open Sim launched on Koinup

2008-11-07T03:56:00.000-08:00

This is a sort of serendipity.....
I tried Open Sims some weeks ago......
some days ago I suggest to Koinup to launch a OpenSim channel on their platform and today they released it!

I'm not an avid users of the Open Sim world but I have installed the client and sometime I make a travel there.....

I'm glad Koinup opened an OpenSim channel because it is an interesting project and I'm glad that there is now a website where the contents from Open Sims are collected and listed all together.....

Virtual Hangouts

2008-10-30T11:23:00.001-07:00

There is growing trends in virtual worlds hangouts for crossworld gamers.....
First was Koinup, later came AvatarsUnited and recently Myrl

Each of these sites has some specific features...

Koinup is most used by Second Life people
while Avatars United seems more focused on mmorpgs and myrl focused on new social worlds as Twinity, Vivaty and Habbo

they are also different in regards of approach. Myrl is more like a Digg-like environment, while Koinup is more focused on a UGC approach similar to Youtube or Flickr. AvatarsUnited seems instead based on gilds or something

lets wait and see if they will add new features in the next months!

Avatar Pictures or Avatar Art

2008-10-28T10:21:00.000-07:00

which is the main difference between the avatar art concept and the avatar pictures

Koinup Launched an Avatar art......project

maybe they want to show that avatar is a sort of new canvas for self expressions....

have a look please

Flickr support from virtual worlds webservices....

2008-10-13T11:49:00.000-07:00

Several virtual worlds webservices offer support for uploading on Flickr!
Just read this Koinup Blog entry on their Second Life Flickr Support

Indeed also other plaftorm offer similar options, for example SL Buzz and SL Profiles

Second Life Machinima

2008-10-09T09:34:00.000-07:00

I found this great series of articles on SL Machinima on NWN!

New World Notes is keeping tracked all the new entry in the machinima scene of Second Life....and I love very much is recent article on Lainy Voom new great artwork!

I also keep my eyes always focused on this great Koinup Second Life Machinima Page

Second Life and Metaverse Places

2008-10-07T02:32:00.000-07:00

If yoou are wondering how difficult is to find a place in Metaverse....
well the answer is yes.,.....it is quite difficul

the reason is that we don't have tool for see with at a first glance how is,or where is a particolar places....or where it is possible to find a particolar scenery

This NWN article on Second Life Places is quite interesting!

And even more interesting is the Koinup project devoted to Second Life locations

We need these kinds of project to orient better in metaverse.....
I hope others will add something similar very soon!

Screenshots or Photography

2008-09-14T01:41:00.000-07:00

Interesting Post over at Koinup blog
about Second Life Photograph

Koinup blogger is wondering if we have to consider SL screenshots as simply screenshots or effective photos....

I think that not only Sl screenshots are art, but also screenshots from other virtual worlds...

Avatar Art

2008-02-08T10:00:00.001-08:00

I think that with the growth of amazing virtual worlds as vSide, IMVU and There
there is a room for a new kind of virtual art......I think that we could call it: avatar art

from this point of view, one of the best place to get amazing avatar pictures is my fav website: Koinup

Looking for Freebies in Vside

2008-01-21T05:46:00.000-08:00

Today,

I were hanging aroung vSide and looking for some freebies.....

I would like to change my look with something less "newbie".....

unfortunately, it does seem that in vSide there is no free items.......all you can see has its own cost.....

I just published some pics of my unlucky hunt.........on the vSide forum and on Koinup!
