The Foundation pt. 2

Attempting to avoid the trappings that most virtual environments in SL exhibit (i.e. palm trees) I started adding custom textures. These were inspired by several of the readings common in IML classes along with the William Gibson Documentary that was shown in SL yesterday. Using photoshop and making the scans of book covers 512 x 512 pixels, saving them as targa files (24 bit) I was able to add these customs prim textures to simple flattened objects.

I liked this..but maybe a little too much idol worship.














More diverse readings...















Temporary Structures set in place. This design process is experimental
and therefore the environment is going to change daily as new feedback is given. These are domes with just your basic chairs inside therefore creating our first traditional meeting area in SL...it's a start.















Current landscape.














Now with office domes.















CLASSROOMS! These are stacked structures that have meeting (chat), screening (video), and gallery (images) areas. (temporary design)
