There's been a little thread of discussion on the Second Life machinima mailing list about whether it is possible to take images with soft or out of focus backgrounds in Second Life. info@rufilm.de suggested a simple approach, which I've simplified further as follows:- Take a snapshot of the background you want.
- Blur it using your favorite graphics package.
- Upload it to Second Life and place it on a large prim.
- Stand your avatar in-front of the prim and take your snapshot.
Neat!
Here's a couple of examples, using a background image taken on Nagaya, a nice little Japanese community.
