The Many Faces of Walker Spaight
After I blogged about my Second Life avatar getting 3D printed, someone asked for some comparison shots so we could all judge how accurately the process comes off. Presented above for your scrutiny, the many faces of Walker Spaight (aka Mark Wallace), including, clockwise from top left: Walker Spaight in Second Life, the physical Walker model printed from the SL av, Mark Wallace in real life, and Walker Spaight in the massively multiplayer online game EVE Online.
It’s interesting to see all those faces lined up beside one another. They’re not as different from each other as one might think. Is this a natural result of identifying too closely with one’s avatar? Or is that as it should be? I have a Mark Wallace avatar in SL as well, actually, and he’s the one who’s most outlandish. What does it all mean? You tell me.

Wait, isn’t there a movie where the virtual character comes into the real world and tries to kill his maker? That Eve Online guy looks scary.
Yeah, wow, seriously, I’m glad I met you in Second Life and not Eve Online! Ebil!
Muahahahaaaa….
Mark will be played by a young Geoffrey Rush in future SL-related films…
