For a building n00b like me this timelapse building video is really impressive. But I’m sure it’s still impressive if you know how to build too. Mr LordFly summarizes this awesome show off very well at the end of his machinima: 4 days, 16 acres, 6000 prims. My hands hurt.

Excellent video - and very instructive too. It shows how useful having a prior plan/blueprint to work from can help. Also, how you can “trade prims for textures.” In the case of the windows and the parking lines most notiably, he used prims to create the objects rather than creating complex textures - which would have taken him longer to do properly, but would have saved on prim count - probably substantially.
Also, the windows as done by him are not transparent and there is no internal structure to the buildings, helping him to get it done quicker. But watching how he put it together has given me ideas on how to better build some things I’ve been planning.
Thanks for the link Vint.
Whoa. Some day I totally need to learn to build something besides a wooden cube.
But after seeing that video - it won’t be any time soon, hehe.
Wow, that was impressive - and massive amounts of work! So far, I’m just content to leave the building stuff to people like Tiessa, who look far better while doing it than I would, anyway.
*g*
NP, Tiessa. I was just impressed. :d
Wrath: Spheres are easy too, as long as you don’t want them texturized! ;)
