developmental stuff...

that i would have posted ages ago but i was busy working so yeah.

i started off trying out different ideas for chairs, thinking of the cimema and seating areas, trying out different ideas. here's some floaty spherey chairs with textures that hurt the eye.

an idea which i nicked from "where's my space age?" by Sean Topham. These charis were origianlly made in 1968 by Eero Aamio.



i also tried out a video chair idea also from "where's my space age?", this time these "TV tanks" were made by LOT/EK from old oil tanks.



i then tried to adapt this idea into second life to create individual viewing areas.




but since there are no headphones in second life, and several people watching different videos at the same time would create a lot of noise i cut the chairs down a bit to go into a group cinema area instead.


this also meant the the viewing area could be much larger, allowing for more visitors.

the main part of the build which i worked on was the cinema area, creating a dark room where the avatars can walk on water which is quite a nice effect.


i also terraformed most of the build, and put in nice trees and grass on the island.


and i worked on the main sinage, but liam worked on the teleports.

Those chairs do look mighty comfy, and i wouldnt mind having a few of em myself. I would just like to say how much i loved yours and liams overall virtual gallery. They looked very professioal and i quite liked how the one next door to your had a similar colour scheme. Even tho it was two diffeent galleries, they looked like they could have beeen related. Still nice work. It would have been nice to see examples of work there. Like rezed objects or something, for the presented thing on the last day before we broke up.
