Quite Lovely
I will admit it is a little sad to see the ao does not come with a jump out of the water from what i could find testing it and the avatar will "slide" like your on ice soon as you stop moving, i found it easy to stop that when i wanted by pressing the space bar. Overall i really love this and it works wonderfully in the water, not so much on land ;p you do flop around a little when you try to move on land and i loved that little feature. Well made scripts/animations and a high LOD so you wont fall apart in the distance. it would be kind of funny if there was a water spray option, considering most sims...it would have to be a particle generator for visiting private/no rez areas. Thank you for making such a wonderful product and i am already having a blast swimming around the grids, already met some other aquatic folks on the first swim! <3
I deduct 1 star because it doesn't have a jump, which I feel is a critical part of dolphins.
Overall quality: 5/5
Options: 5/5
Sim AO: 4/5 - great animations, lacks a jump out of the water.
It comes with an amazing amount of options, over a dozen different types of dolphins, even two Orcas. The skins look great, it swims great, you should most likely buy this product if you want a dolphin avatar but also don't want to do the signature thing dolphins do.
It comes with, an absurd amount of things out of the box, I will list them here:
A water physics scripted AO that is fairly advanced - this is not advertised anywhere in the store page which is odd. It would be a big selling point for some.
22 bento skins - Although some are not to my taste they are extremely accurate (some dolphins look odd to me is all).
5 additional bento markings
14 different eyes
A dolphin language translator
Over 30 different dolphins (different meshes), and some orcas and other popular whales - One of the more stunning features of this package honestly. It's so much content.
Air bubbles - ya know because dolphin
Dolphin talker - Yeah the thing is fully animated with sounds when you type.
I respect the wishes of the creator to not include a jump in the Physics AO of this avatar, he does not wish to make his physics base AO too similar to the Tala Bento AO, another physics based AO on the Market. I find this notion kind of silly but, that is his desire so I respect it.
Anyway it's a stunning amount of content here. I am kind of surprised more about what you get isn't listed here in the official page. Anyway, I listed it here in this review. Enjoy.
Loving This!!
This is amazing and i am loving all the different avatars!!
Thank you for making this <3
Absolutely Precious!
This avatar is so well done! The AO it comes with is fine, but it lacks a jump or speed control. Also having to fly to use it isn't great. Tala works better, but it's a shame we have to spend so much to use this properly. I hope we get a better personal AO for it eventually. The shapes and skins this comes with are so nice, and I hope we'll eventually get a dev kit so we can make our own skins(such as the missing Orca skin lol). I'd also like to see a stand-alone sound button, so we can make noise without having to have typed/sent something in chat. Overall I would definitely recommend this, and look forward to future updates. =)
Love it!
I love this avatar. Definitely the best dolphin on SL and it comes with so much. For those having issue with the AO and getting animations to work, just click the floppy disk on the AO and it should download the animations into the AO for you. Took me a moment to figure this out. Derp! :)
i love it
When i saw this avatar i got so excited and dropped everything and instantly bought it. I didnt realize it CAME WITH SO MANY MESH BODY MODS, I was babbling about how exciting it is that someone would surely make an orca body mod -- imagine my surprise when that was included!! The only thing that may need to be noted to prevent misguided reviews (like the one before me) is that I had to reset the AO to get it to work. I also probably just overlooked it but I didn't see any sort of dev kit to make custom skins?
With the Tala AO add on I was swimming around in the blake sea just being an orca forever. i love it. this is THE BEST cetacean avatar ive ever had on SL, im so excited to see it develop and get updates.
