What do you get if you have a flexible virtual worlds platform (realxtend), a good idea and a good artist?

It recently came to my attention that I refer a lot to Non-Player Characters (or otherwise known as NPCs) within my blog posts. This is simply out of sheer habit. So here you go, an entire post devoted to these second rate characters in virtual worlds.

The translation for avatar is ‘a form of self’- does your avatar really resemble you down to a “tee?”

In the past, things were simple. I sent an email to someone. Now I send the mail to an avatar's gmail. Who do I communicate with? The easy answer may not be the right answer.

Using Sylvester Stallone as our guinea pig we examine the process for creating "life-like" avatars in Realxtend.

Comparing avatars, how realistic can they be? How realistic do they need to be?
