[…] to our avatar’s expressions some two-plus years ago, it was an improvement, but – as been mentioned in the past – only […]

Fantastic read Estim, I liked your own personality shine through, you have such warmth and humour, yes i would say keep writing!

I’d like to see some expressions a little more animated, if your avatar is sad, he or she isnt gonna walk around so chirpy, that avatar is going to slouch their shoulders and walk alot slower. An Anger animation, could be literally (As Burbie says) turn beetroot red, (or if avatar is wearing a hat) throw the hat down onto the ground and stomp all over it! (for the ladies it would probably run along the lines of pull hair out of skull)

I do agree with you on facial animations, the PS3 console is very powerful graphically and can do alot more than other virtual world services in that respect.

The technology is there, Motion capture of facial and other physical animations. We just need to see that utilized. And if Home had to be disc based and hard drive based combined, then it would make things alot easier in the long run in loading and rendering both in terms of avatar production and the world around us on home.

At the moment, even though we are into 2011, it is still early days as far as home is going and there will be (hopefully) massive improvements to come.

Who knows what we will be seeing in another five years from now with home. And if this is anything to go by, very excited to say the least!

Great Read and welcome to the team

I’m still hoping the facepalm comes to Home someday,preferably with a double facepalm option and for those “special” occasions a triple facepalm where a 3rd arm goes out of your chest for the action then disappears.

Wow Estim. I was very impressed by that article! You are a wonderful addition to the team,(I knew you would be), and I can’t wait til you come up with the next one. How about one that expresses anger better, maybe they could have a little steam come out of our ears, or we could turn beet red, that would convey either anger or embarrassment. The possibilities are endless.LOL I can see you are going to have fun with this one.
