Meet Meez!

Pseudo-intellectual Musings. This blog contains the author's musings on society, culture and tech, along with the odd foodspot review, just to lower the tone and keep her strength up.

Meet Meez!
01.04.09 (11:53 pm)   [edit]

Pretensions has noticed that a few of her Tblog friends have been a little curious about her and what she does for a living. She has decided to tell the community a little more about herself through a few animated Meez.

For those who aren’t familiar with a Meez – it is a 3-D avatar of yourself that can be used to interact with other peoples’ avatars in the Hoods of the Meez community. It’s a bit like playing with a Barbie and you can opt to have it look like yourself (or as much as a computer animation can) or be completely different (aliens, masks etc are all available). The catch is that some options cost coinz, which can be earned by winning Meez games or using real cash. You do get 2500 coinz when you save your first me and there are some free options for makeup, dress and backdrops.

The cool thing about a Meez is that you can export the finished item to your blog or webpage or even directly to Facebook, Myspace etc or even to AIMZ or Photobucket.

Here are Pretension’s Meez. She had 5 empty slots in her album and filled them up with various incarnations.

Here is her blogging incarnation – P is pretty casual when she’s gaming or blogging at home. Do P a favour and click through to the link below if you decide to make a Meez yourself. That way, both of us will get some extra coinz!

I'm pretensions

Make your own 3D me,
and we both get Coinz!

Next is Pretensions at work – the environment should give you some clues as to what she does. She is NOT a librarian ‘though. :-)

Pretensions travels a lot around Asia for work and takes time to go shopping in street markets and get back to nature. Here she is doing both (in front of Mount Fuji, no less).

 

Finally, P also performs with her choirs and does the odd solo. Here she is in perfoming regalia.

 

Hope you enjoyed that – P certainly did!

witty, as always! I love your regalia. The regalia around here mostly incorporates feathers, buttons, and felt (native Thlingit being the dominant group)

Thanks OS - it's good fun if you'd like a caricature for your avatar. I must drop PG a mail about this as I noticed a few Pirate-oriented backdrops and outfits. There's an '80s collection of outfits too, btw!

Oh, sounds cool! I love native american jewellery, leather and feathered and felted bits and bobs. Given the 30 degrees celsius temp and 90 degress humidity, it wouldn't last too long tho'!

Love your avatars!!! Wonder if it looks even remotely like you...maybe the glasses?

It looks as much like me as a 3D cartoon can! Most of the clothes are quite close as well. My colleague claims I look less nerdy in real life but maybe she's being kind...

Now that's nice. I am curious about the library shot, since you say you are not a librarian. Perhaps, a research assistant for a College professor. Or, a professor yourself?

I'll have to give meez a try!
