透明アバター
LEAの3月展示、Fuschia Nightfireの「冬の概要」を見ました。
この展示の主役はセットではなく入口で無料で用意されているアバターです。一見普通の輪郭だけの透明アバターに見えるのですが・・・

Visited LEA March exhibition, Winter Outlined by Fuschia Ngihtfire. The main character of this art is not the installation but the avatar which is available free at the entrance. At the first glance it seems a transparent avatar with outline only…
向こうが透けて見えるのではなく、どこかの色を取り込んできます。作者の説明の一部を引用します。
「アバターを透明プリムで作り、アウターレイヤーに1％の透明性を加えた。これによりどこから見ても輪郭だけが見える。
またアルファテクスチャの前に来ると後ろのテクスチャをブロックし、アバターが「中身のある」外観に見える。
このSIMには多くのアルファテクスチャを使ってこのアバターのための環境を創った。」
Not only the background seen through, but also colors from somewhere will be read into the avatar. Here is a part of explanation by the artist.
“I made some avatars that were completely made up of the invisi prims, with an outer layer that had 1% transparency on it, allowing the invisi prims to block them out from inside, creating the illusion of an outline around the avatar. Whichever angle the avatar was viewed from it always appeared as an outline. I then found that when I put this avatar in front of alpha textures the invisi prims would work to block out the texture behind it, gibing the avatar a more ‘solid’ appearance. I am using the SIM at LEA6 to develop an environment to house these avatars, using lots of alpha textures and transparencies.”
スカルプでないヒールで透明プリムの上を歩くと靴のアルファが見えてしまうのと同じですね。それを積極的に使ったアート？
歩き回るにつれてアバターの色が変化します。
どこの色を取り込んでくるのか予測がつかないし、カメラを動かしても変化するので、構図と色を探すのが楽しい（＾－）
This phenomenon is the same as high heal not made with sculp standing on a floor with alpha layer where the alpha part of shoes will take color of the floor. This art is using it positively. It is interesting to see the avatar colors are changing while walking around. It is hard to expect which colors would be read. The color is also changed by moving camera and it is fun to find good angles and colors.
歩き回って探索するアートとしても変化があって面白いです。アバターはテクスだけ使うことも出来るので、自分のシェイプにも使えます。
でも形は決まってるので、変えられるのは身長だけですけどね（＾－）
The diversified installation itself is also interesting as an art to walk through in it. The texture of the avatar can be used separately, so it is possible to wear it on my own shape. But the outline was set and you can change the height only though.
普通の場所でもこの効果が出ます。アルファチャンネルがない場所では透明のままですが、SLの水や空も同じ効果があります。
右上はSuzuさんのお花畑、下の二枚は私のギャラリの屋上。ちょっとカメラを動かすだけで色が変わります。
The avatar provides the effect in other area. In the area with no alpha channel the avatar stays as a transparent one, but SL sky and water have the same effect. The top right is a flower field at Suzu’s place, the below two are at my gallery. The color will be changed by a slight movement of camera.
