SL: Creating 5/ Finishing

I decided to change the walls into a darker colour and then started filling but the blank spaces in the building. I made diffferent chairs and wanted them in a modern style.

Little details I created such as a plate of donuts to put on the coffee table (random).
I also placed a chinese coloumn entrance for the waiting room. I always see these features in a martial arts film where they have training areas like dojos.

Birds eye view of the waiting rooms and this shows a indoor glass roof that is similar to a greenhouse?
My lovely collection of cups and mugs.
In waiting rooms there must be a sign to show whether you can come in or if theres a client inside already.
Finished off the building with a phantom clover glass roof.

--------------------------------------------------------
And now for the finishing touches.
I made a red cross hat for the team so we could use it as a gift for visitors.

Kelly made a sign outside the building for those who's not sure what to expect.
Kathrine made dummies to make the area less deserted.
A nice snapshot of our finsihed project (lovely).

SL: Creating 4

These images show various of objects that I've made.
It took me a while to make this lantern but its worth all the hassel. I but a glow on the candle and a flexible path on the strings so it looks more natural.

Kelly and Kathrine had been busy with the internal, there's Kathrine's finsihed reception. On the far right is the process of making waiting rooms.
I got rid of the image from google and drew my own to upload. :D Then I used it for the entrance windows.
Better view of the current building. I might change the colour.
A oriental chair that I've made. The patterns were another image that I've made and uploaded.

SL: Creating 3

In the end we decided on a more specific area of DirectGov, so we chose Sexual Health but in an oriental themed building. I started focusing on the main structure of the building.

I was getting the hang of making arches, I find it annoying having to link and unlink the objects all the time.

This is thr reception Kathrine was making while I was building the walls and entrance.



I uploaded an image from the google image search, but I had to take it down since it wasn't my own work. But I found it really pretty ^_^.

SL: Creating 1 + Exploring 5

Exploring 5 : ---------

Found out that I could actually sit on the windmill and started spinning around.

This pink bunny object was made by a friend of mines but I added the script so when someone clicks on it, it gives a link straight to my blog.
mmmmm....roast rabbit :P
Did the waterfall script. I think this might be useful for my project later on.
Made my own windmill :D. I was still able to sit on it.
Totally loved this, I sat on the UFO spaceship while it was spinning at a high speed.

CREATING:--------------------------------
After getting the brief, I started to mess around with the polygons and try different possibilities to create buildings.



I wasn't very good at first and I had to ask some pros on SL to help me out on how to make spiral staircases.

I had a go with some textures and playing with the glow features.

This is another attempt on making another building.

SL: Exploring 4

At the sandbox again with some friends. They were able to teach me a little more about constructing polygons and let me try out their stuff. The spaceship was fun and I like how the people are seated by avimator. Besides that, I went to the area called 'NHS' and looked at rooms within the building.

love how it flies so fast.
As it takes off, the blue flames starts to blow out like a rocket :D. It shows up nice in midnight. I also like my friends avatar haha.
I offered a chair for them to sit but they but blue flames under each leg (T_T). Rocket chair?
The reception at the NHS London. Really nice designs but no ones here. It's kinda scary.



Everything was so detailed from beds to NPC's (NON PLAYING CHARACTERS). I like how they made dummies to make the place less deserted.

SL: Creating Objects

Before exploring around, I had lectures about the basics of creating objects using simple polygons. My first impression of it was that it reminds me of maya because of the similar tools such as scale, rotation, movement etc. After that, I understand I was able to create my own avatar and modifying certain things. The fun bit is using the textures and making it your own work.Flag pole! it was a bit confusing but I got the hang of it. The flexible function was useful though.
eeeeeek. U.G.L.Y zebra chair hahaha. making objects is about knowing which polygon shape to use to begin with. unfortunately.... I don't have that. :D


This is when I started making my first octopus avatar. :O
Afterwards I made a bunny cane with the functions of making it glow and scripting to make the avatar hold the stick naturally. (you gotta love my no face avatar from Spirited Away)

I loved making the top hat. Adds style to my bunny avatar. I noticed that attaching objects to the correct part of the body is very important.
.

SL: Exploring 3

Like usual I had fun looking around and I found the public sandbox which is a great place to practice creating objects. There's quite alot of lag these days when I play at night because of all the other SL people logging in from other countires such as USA. I'm starting to understand the terms and words used in SL which is useful. Afterwards I went to the Sugar Rush place that my friend showed me where you can do fishing (yay!)


▲lovely, I'm also a fan of sweet foods. The designs and backgrounds are so cute (>.<)
▲okies now this was MEGA ANNOYING! Apparentely these are caused by 'GRIEFERS' who are people that make endless amount of pictures and spreading them across the whole area (similar to spamming). This slows everything down and I was trying to practice my building skills at the sandbox too. It probabily lasted for an hour. oh well, me and other people reported him so I hope he gets banned haha.


▲I don't know who did it but it's so cute! it will definatley match my current avatar haha. I love the detail and effort but into the windows.
