Larger closet and shop views

Hi Frenzooistas,

We have just made a change to Frenzoo.com so that all pages now expand to fit whatever space you have in your browser window.

In plain English, this means your closet and shop will now look a lot bigger, display more items and have a larger 3d window so you can enjoy all the fashions that much more.

Here is a snapshot taken on my Macbook:

Enjoy the bigger and better view everyone!

Frenzoo cover girls!

Fashion shoot met magazine cover in our recent user contest.  The challenge was to put together a stylish cover for a magazine with layout and Frenzoo avatar posing.

There were truly some excellent entries from many talented Frenzoo members:

Congratulations xoxskittlesxox who was judged the winner with an outstanding triple cover spread!

Awesome creativity girls, you rock!

Illustration Contest Winners

We have a lot of artistic talents on our 3d world, in different forms:

• Those great at style and virtual photography...
• Others who create and texture...
• 3d modelers and animators and the list goes on!

For this special user contest, the focus was back-to-basics - illustration on paper, on a free theme.

Competition was fierce but ultimately 3 very worthy winners were selected:

WINNER - Yadira

 

2ND PLACE - Ninja Destiny

 

3rd place - Zuzuboogaliboo

Congratulations winners!

Introducing the Creator Pass. $US 6.95. For life.

We at Frenzoo love nothing more than launching new features into the arms of our growing community.

And one very important feature we have launched earlier today: the brand new Creator Pass.

With this single pass, you can upload 3d items to the shop from Blender, Collada, 3D Max, Maya, Sketchup as well as also texturing and deriving from other peoples templates to make your own shop items.  It's perfect for those who like to make items using Photoshop or GIMP. 

(Previously texturing and deriving were only available as part of the VIP monthly subscription)

The reaction this morning has been great, with several new purchases already.

Also people with old Pro passes have been upgraded free to the new Creator Pass.

"I love the news!! I have so many seamless textures that I want to sell and I was just looking into it last week how to upload textures but saw that I couldnt as a pro creator. Now I can."

LovedWarrior, 3d Modeler and animator (as heard on the forum)

At only $US 6.95 for lifetime pass as a beta special, it's a steal.

Gaga For Your Weekend?

What better way to end a long week than some ridiculously excessive outfits and freaky mystique?

Fantasy avatar art contest - and the winners are...

It's not every day you get to be a judge (well, unless you are one), but I recently got that honor for a huge fantasy avatar art contest on Koinup.  Being a big fantasy fan and right in the middle of playing an elf in the RPG Dragon Age, this was right down my alley.  It's not often easy to make your own avatar so special, but a pleasure to see the pros at work.

There were many high quality entries from Second Life, IMVU, The Sims and yes even a few popping up from Frenzoo's online world. The competition was fierce and it was hard to judge with such a wide array of different styles of 3d avatars and takes on the contest theme.

One of the main winners and my personal pick was the following stunning take on a modern elf beauty:

Celtic Woman - Orinoco Flow by Marty86

We were also proud that one of our community was chosen for a special mention:

Fantasy by MissElle

First Sci Fi contest... we have winners!

After the success of the first user created contest in our online world which was to "draw your avatar in Manga", the second one was also very popular..

Just finished, the theme was "Sci Fi" and it was an interesting challenge:  create your own unique futuristic avatar picture and accompany it with your own original back story.

There were many great entries ranging from brooding low tech to cybernetic elevation, and in the end the winner was the talented Yoki Chan, who came up with the sexy and deadly Gadget Lady, on a mission to destroy the world (she must have had a bad day?!)

Take a look at the video with some of the best entries... live in style and prosper!

A geisha and an alien meet in a bar...

Ok, well not actually a bar, and they probably haven't met... but browsing through the site in the last 48 hours I did stumble across this pair of unique avatars, the likes of which I've never seen on Frenzoo before...

 

Delicate Geisha with Parasol

Anime-tastic Alien

In the last week I've also spied several increasingly realistic looking avatars, like this one I saw today:

 

Virtually alive?

Our recent skin creation feature combined with community creativity is already having an impact!
