Pfieew, almost finished for SL4B
June 21, 2007 7:38 am
Ok, still doing some ‘fine tuning’ although it’s way past deadline, but who cares? Nobody responded to my ‘may we still build?’ question, so I guess it’s ok. *grins* This is how it sort of looks right now (of course with some shallow DoF added and some PS to make up for the lack of WindLight). I’m not really that happy with the build, as compared to the other boots/plots there it looks so damned artificial. I started building this with the WindLight client open and in the back of my mind so the reflections were really neat. Now, well they are just shiny. And I assume nobody will be as stupid as to take the depreciated WindLight Firstlook unto what will hopefully be a full sim. *sobs*
What I do like about the whole Second Life 4th Birthday art expositioning thingie is that the cooperation with Myg & Alex was awesome. As we have neighbouring plots, it was easy to just pay a visit or ask the other ones to come over for some help. With positioning my ‘broadly offended poseballs’ for instance. And did I already mention Myg allowed me to paint on her back wall?
Yes, you hear that correctly, if you are broadly offended by any of my work, you will now be able to show that. At the moment there’s only one close to The Irony of our Second Life’s comics - doesn’t Myg look awefully cute when broadly offended? - , but I’ll place some other ones so you can also be broadly offended by my portrets, SLelection campaign or Photoshop work.
And also Olivia Arteer and Dancoyote Antonelli seem to be friendly and cooperative neighbours. Yey! for them too. ;)
Something I also wonder about is the need for every SL4B artist to build that high. I figured it would be nice if it was easy to scout the sim by flying, so I maxed my build at 4 meters. Yet 20 to 30 meters is not an exception and that makes flying with low draw distance on - which will be probably necessary to prevent crashing - a pain. I already flew lost twice, needing to TP back to my plot and start all over.
I’m also doubting if I should put older photographs in the FlickrViewer set - the photographs in that set are the ones that display at SL4B - or that I should just put only SL4B related ones in it and add to the set as I have new ones. Anybody wants to toss a coin for me?
Still to do: broadly offensive content-texture, signs towards Arteer’s and Myg’s plots (+textures), texture for the blank wall I, texture for the blank wall II, put out more broadly offended pose balls and I’m not very happy about how the FlickrViewer boot looks.

aw heck vint, you’re posting? you have too much SL4B work to do! get to it girl! and btw arteer is awesome, she helped me come up with the idea to have a huge book at the front of my plot so people would see me. and dancoyote also dropped by with some helpful hints. we seem to have a good bunch of artistes in our neck of the SL04 mature woods.
“I assume nobody will be as stupid as to take the depreciated WindLight Firstlook unto what will hopefully be a full sim”
I didn’t even know we could - isn’t that First Look WindLight Viewer gone from the main grid, now?
And I agree about working with Alex and Myg - those guys totally rock! Between the three of you creative people, I am sure your exhibits are going to be very much kickass.
And hopefully, broadly offensive. ;-)
Posting: I’m OD’ing on SL4B stuff atm. :d As for WindLight Firstlook, it still works on the maingrid but crashes more often then the Voice Firstlook.
**** this is a non-political messase *****
“I’m also doubting if I should put older photographs in the FlickrViewer set…”
Why not Vint? If the whole SL4B project is about celebrating the last 4 years, it seems logic to me to include some highlights from that past chapter… (I dont know how long you are active already..)
E.g. your “Metarevenge” shot is still one of my favourite SL pics on Flickr.
Including some older photos will give the opportunity to newer residents to have a broader view on your portfolio…
(maybe self-promotion isnt the purpose of SL4B, but hey, all for the Arts…)
**** end of this non-political message ****
Héhé. Thank you. The metarevenge one is up already, don’t worry. There are a lot (but not all, not enough room ;)) of my ‘older’ pictures there, I was just wondering about the content of the FlickrViewer, which is another part of my plot at the exhibition. *still undecided*
[…] June 2007: Is mainly dominated by the SLelections, for which I teamed up with Myg and Wrath and setting everything up for the Second Life Birthday Event. […]
[…] many of you went to visit SL4B, and did you go to see my little exhibition / build there? Did you enjoy your stay, or was it laggy as hell? And did you get to see some new artists, Second […]
