ferventMe! Web Services, with ferventMe! HUD, the Head Up Display

From all the interactivity in Second Life, for dynamic change selection, we are very dependent on Second Life only the blue/black dialog menu. The menu is very limited and unpalatable experience. We want to change this and we introduce ferventMe! Web Service along with ferventMe! HUD.

ferventMe! Web Service bring you immersive experience while using the Intan Couple Dance Ball version 3. It list all available menu selection for you to select. You can easily scroll up and down to see all the available animations, avoiding pagination for the menu. ferventMe! Web Service is accessible from in-world ferventMe! HUD, external browser, and/or your mobile device. Just go to http://fervent.me and you will be asked for login credentials with password, that you can set by using the ferventMe! HUD at first.

ferventMe! HUD is an expansion from the preceding Intan Couple Dance HUD. The new HUD is empowering Second Life Viewer feature that bring Web Rendering to the virtual 3D world and when expanded it will make you automatically login to the ferventMe! Web Service.

ferventMe! Web Service bring new features to Intan Couple Dance Ball version 3:

  1. Solo Dance Selection
    Instead just randomize the solo dance when you have no partner on the rezed pose-ball, You can change your solo dance from the selection.
  2. Swap animation
    With each swap button on each couple animation, you can just click/tap on the swap icon on specific couple animation to swap the specific animation.

ferventMe! Web Service will adapt with the condition you have in-world. If you just alone on the poseball, the Web Service will show you only the selection of solo dances; there is an option to turn off the other poseball, so no one can couple dance with you. If you are on the poseball with your partner, the Web Service will show you the selection of couple dances. You can also play the couple animation swapped by clicking/touching the swap button on the right part of each selection, or you can click on the option button on the top right and open the filter panel that can narrow down your couple animation selection.

Web Control Panel

The Intan Couple Dance Ball version 3 is now being configured from the Intan Eksotics Web. There is a link at the right side when you are already logged in on this web. Alternatively you, as Owner or Manager of the Intan Couple Dance Ball, can click-and-hold the Intan Couple Dance Ball for about 5 seconds and you will be given a unique url that you can follow to the Control Panel page to configure the Intan Couple Dance Ball.

The version 3 of the Intan Couple Dance Ball is not in the need of notecards for settings and recognizing couple animations. There is a new Web Control Panel to make customizations to the new Intan Couple Dance Ball. You can change general settings (previously set in the Setting notecard) like greeting text, pose-ball positioning, listener channel, network name, title text, even the shape and color of the pose-balls.

Sorting dances is easy; just drag and drop. You can hide some animations from the dance menu and use them with Intan Appliances. Changing couple animations name can be done in a very intuitive way and you can also put a longer more descriptive name for the ferventMe! Web Service. Assigning solo dances is also as simple as clicking checkboxes for male and/or female party.

Intan Appliance (EXPERIMENTAL!!!)

WARNING! Intan Appliances is an EXPERIMENTAL Feature introduced with the version 3 Intan Couple Dance Ball.

The idea of Intan Appliances is not much differ from the first version of Intan Couple Dance Ball. Before Intan Couple Dance Ball, you need to jump out from one poseballs and jump into another poseballs to change dance with your partner. When Intan Couple Dance Ball first arrive, it let you change dances without the need to jump-out and in between pose-balls.

With Intan Appliances, we want to widening the idea, which we want to reducing jump out and in between poseballs when you want to change furniture like chair, table or etc. Intan Appliance will make your Intan Couple Dance Ball become not only for dances, but many more for couple animation.

Why Experimental Status?

The complexity of configuring Intan Appliances prevent people to have an easy way to setup. You have to adjust each couple animation manually to the furniture, so the animations are in proper position. As this is time consuming and complex for each furniture, at current state of Intan Appliances, there will be no support for this feature. So if you want to implement this feature, we expect that you know the basics of editing in Second Life, and have a little basic management knowledge of the Intan Couple Dance Ball.

WE WILL NOT SUPPORT MIGRATION from MLP/XPose/NPose/DevPose or other systems!
Intan Appliances is not a replacement for MLP/XPose/NPose/DevPose etc.

Using Intan Appliances

To use Intan Appliances, you just need to touch the furniture. Depending on if you already use poseballs from the Intan Couple Dance Ball, you will be given a menu dialog or your ferventMe! is updated. If you are already an a poseball and use the ferventMe!, the first touch will just update the ferventMe! and the second touch will give you the SL dialog menu.

On your selection, if you are not on a poseball of the related Intan Couple Dance Ball, a new pair of poseballs will rez near the appliances. You can jump onto it and accept permission to trigger animation. If you are already on a poseball, you will directly play the selected animation.

You can move from one appliances to another by simply touching the other appliances and selecting an animation. To go to back to dancing with your partner, you need to find the specialized Dance Pad. A touch on the dance pad will bring you and your partner back to dancing on the pad in group mode, and you will also be given the standard SL dialog menu for couple dances.
