haha! I just learned something new about Hippos! I personally think
it's a lot better than Ruth, but that's one great thing about
OpenSim... With some work, it can truly be "each to his own." :-)<br>

same here.<br>
But since we are talking about the famous Hippos that everybody knows
and uses, I took this opportunity to try to find out if anyone here
knows anything about their origin. Are these nebadon's?

Well, I found not any license information for the Baby and Mother Hippo
that I used as a base. In fact, I got them from your mega-region
"Diva's Office"; but I have seen them with full permissions and free to
copy at various places in OSgrid, too. I assumed that they are free to
use. As long as there are no restrictions on those hippos, the hippo
avatar as a derivative work is in the public domain.<br>

Super cute!<br>
Is this really public domain?<br>

Great job! I'm going to use it for our Neutral avatar. Thanks!<br>

Hello Ai,<br>
<br>
Your idea of using a hippo as a starter avatar is great. I took the<br>
freely available Baby Hippo and made an avatar from it. See<br>

<br>
Does this meet your notion for such an avatar?<br>

Anyone feel up to creating a starter avatar that looks like a hippo<br>
that<br>
can be distributed as an IAR? It would be a great addition to allow a<br>
male, female and "neutral" avatar as starters and follow the<br>
OpenSimulator logo style with its 3 "users" on it.<br>
