simple photobox at i live in science land

simple photobox

it’s funny, but up until today, i never felt like i had my own home in virtual worlds. in Second Life i had bunkers but they were always set as public places too

and for the 10 months in Reaction Grid, i also did not feel like any parcel was mine

but today i took a part of a sim next to Dream Walker and planted my flag. well, i built a photobox that i did not delete after being done. when i need a pic for the blog, i rezz out some white prims and make them full bright, then delete them when am finished, but no more! =) i

it’s a different feeling having a place that i can call my own. the entire estate in OpenSim has been subQuark’s and while i have carte blanche, none of it felt like it was mine. now i have my little part of a sim and am gonna leave prims out and make a big mess =)

a photobox is really easy to make and works very well. make the colour full brite and add some lights and voila! can be made in any colour you need and if you want a soft edge, apart from doing anti-alias in preferences, you can turn on a bit of glow on the lightbox walls

super simple, super effective

big prim holds me at proper height, little ones are lights

monkey bars!!! =) (and lots of starch on my skirt!)

taking you back aways , i felt like that jus for setting up a standalone in opensim. So muuuuch space to do whatever and leave it there.

so you did set up OpenSpace on your own machine? how fantastic! how do you like it? =)

Its great for testing things, and messing around with new things. I only been in sl jus over a year..so costly just for trying things. OS is obviously betr. I was getin worried by sl’s lak of fwd motion this year, so needed something else for peace of mind. Standalone is grt,but its nice to meet people inworld who talk about wot they r doing. I like OS grid for meeting others and hav not set up a region on there yet….i betr hurry b4 the rush begins. Nice to speak wit you as i have seen yur name on various blogs here n there and its really good to see wot building you are doing.

oh very cool about your own OS installation! you can connect it to OSGrid from what i understand and even a home box should allow for 2 or 3 visitors on your own sims

i am in awe of you installing it on your own! very cool indeed! once we get hypergridded, you will have to come visit -)

I would love to visit…. doing more reading of blogs and news than actually building at the moment…one year in sl means i am more “rookie” than “noob”, but still loads to see, learn, and do. That is the good part of VW’s, endless learning, but fun learning!
Tried blue mars yesterday…was like wading thru porridge wearing wellington boots…pretty though..bye bye to it. It was like a posh version of twinity…..if there could be such a thing lol.
