The meeting table

I made my first serious try at building furniture, This was a meeting table with chairs. I made the carpet afterwords because the table looked lost on al that wood. Still needs some tweaking, I think



I really need to start working more on animations. I liked that the bean bag chairs had a casual pose for the sit. Now the default animations are really looking lame to me.

No integrated video!

I finally decide to do my first video. So I find the SL client no longer supports capture video to disk. Arggghh! All the reasoning is cool (much better third party software). Just hate that as soon as I decide to use a feature, that's exactly when it''s removed!

New Building

I finally got tired enough of the fish-tank building to get rid of it. Finally realized how much I didn't like it.

Once I got rid of it I felt the same way I do when I clean out a closet (a rare experience). It was good to have the mountainside clear again. I got all turned on and started building a new one right away.

This is the first "sketch" with blocks. I wanted to get a something modern yet open and light. I didn't take pictures, but this was actually like the third iteration of moving the blocks around. But it felt good and I went with it.

When the first set of windows went in the views started looking good. The overall scale of this building is smaller than the previous, but this seemed to have much more usable spaces. Large areas rather than several little ones.

The view of the ocean was great from here. It's almost 100 meters up so a lot of structure kind of tend to fade away leaving the feeling of being out in the country.

I went a bit crazy with the trees. I looked at my prim count and I had lots and lots left. I was being too stingy. I figured the best way to use those wonderful prims was in trees. At one prim each they're really one of great deals from Linden Labs. I don't think I'm done. There may be more coming!

And finally a well deserved rest looking out at the ocean. I go these bean bag chair form Sara Designs Furniture . They have a single animation and an ad if you click instead of right-click, but you can't beat them at L$1 each! She has much nicer stuff at very reasonable prices. I think I'll be back there when I seriously get into decoration such as that is.
