Meez is TET.

If you're one of the many people who use Photobucket regularly to share images, videos and more across the various communities you frequent then you'll have heard about the new partnership with Meez.

Meez is a 3D avatar creation/sharing community where you can create your own 3D mini Meez to represent you in cyberspace. In the spirit of Photobucket, once you have created your Meez avatar you can share it around as easily as you share any other kind of media. Or at least that is the intention.

I spent some time creating a cool looking Meez based on a combination of The Extraordinary Tourist (the fictional version of the character) and my interest in creating movies filmed entirely from my studio. I was pretty pleased with my efforts and was ready to show the world my newly animated avatar.

Unfortunately no amount of trying would give me the code that I could use to share my mini, cyber Meez. Other people seemed to have managed it but not I. Through my attempts I discovered that the Meez site is rather buggy (to be fair it is still in beta) and has been having some major problems of late. That aside, it was rather disappointing.

Hopefully, by the time I come to publish this, things will be sorted. If you can see my animated mini Meez with this post then all is well. Until then - maybe don't bother unless you're prepared to wait to show off the new cyber you.

NB: The image with this article is a screen shot. I'll replace this with the animated version as soon as Meez works through their site problems.

Update: 2nd May, Looks like Meez sorted things out. Here is the small version of my finished Meez. I decided the file size of the large version was too much however my screen shot combined with the smaller animated version... well, you get the idea.
