I want to show you first, a little experiment I am doing with my class at NYU. Here in Second Life, I have made a virtual model of the same little theatre my students are building in class. As they become more adept at building, my hope is that they will come over to this part of second life, with a theater plan in mind, and use the space to plan their productions- or just hang and chat about them if they wish. I have also invited some of the folks I know in SL, who are producing theate in world, to use this facility for their meetings too.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv3KRAEpENSWD9aZ6bQsudOMU7AVW6dZBtt-jAtaR0eM7NBvj5qYpBTOH4cm-m8hZS5GVIgM36wdYT98kmxBEMvxYN6fRzb2_yS-sgznmgg2waWSQzqbEPapY8o_nPYTHIkk9jNqhgvwg/s1600-h/NYU_plywood+theatre.png"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv3KRAEpENSWD9aZ6bQsudOMU7AVW6dZBtt-jAtaR0eM7NBvj5qYpBTOH4cm-m8hZS5GVIgM36wdYT98kmxBEMvxYN6fRzb2_yS-sgznmgg2waWSQzqbEPapY8o_nPYTHIkk9jNqhgvwg/s400/NYU_plywood+theatre.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251058742072079602" /></a><br />I kept it in the "plywood" mode because I want the user to feel free to change everything- to build with an open mind- looking at the possibilites that occur as things are constructed.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgabQO4NgITQgSGQ4aplLPWJ2cHUXyMc3_LHehhs6nqmjnYcop_nUH17WYCPA1nfSi26gbNw4CXJzUlrMloQfgOaHdDCrg2RaUVsXz6tIhlfz087kmMcadpV6OBrKu5FatXQImGolrFBHg/s1600-h/NYU_plywood+theatre2.png"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgabQO4NgITQgSGQ4aplLPWJ2cHUXyMc3_LHehhs6nqmjnYcop_nUH17WYCPA1nfSi26gbNw4CXJzUlrMloQfgOaHdDCrg2RaUVsXz6tIhlfz087kmMcadpV6OBrKu5FatXQImGolrFBHg/s400/NYU_plywood+theatre2.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251058744500120274" /></a> So go nuts, guys! and don't forget to take your prims when you leave ;-)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEila6w4jLqri5iYGtrWvWRSChGcuZTbkYNIdNwibuBvACODRQL7rjJbQb2ehDh6IhNErK0bpLzxjSuC3HxVplQMSK-4Xij61WtdmPyj1CTjEVriYvj2t_ymgvrAbTK2H8s0iH7soWDrGSg/s1600-h/NYU_plywood+theatre3.png"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEila6w4jLqri5iYGtrWvWRSChGcuZTbkYNIdNwibuBvACODRQL7rjJbQb2ehDh6IhNErK0bpLzxjSuC3HxVplQMSK-4Xij61WtdmPyj1CTjEVriYvj2t_ymgvrAbTK2H8s0iH7soWDrGSg/s400/NYU_plywood+theatre3.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251058752612846306" /></a>OK, for those of you who don't know- SL's answer to Burning Man- know in world as "Burning Life" has started- here is a early shot, I grabbed just as the doors opened last night...Looks like fun, and Typote and I are planning an excursion over this week, so stay tuned...many more pix to come.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfvd__olcFSO5eJZdThB-Rsk4JGaNW_FXniLydaU2OBabpQlXYoCtVEvgqV6o91pv4TYhp8L65fu5fOSd6VfgMV3nf5JBCfmWHevRwtgWpjAKqODxmfRiG5L2BxRoJecWIjCE1TK08SHM/s1600-h/Burning_+Life_2_001.png"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfvd__olcFSO5eJZdThB-Rsk4JGaNW_FXniLydaU2OBabpQlXYoCtVEvgqV6o91pv4TYhp8L65fu5fOSd6VfgMV3nf5JBCfmWHevRwtgWpjAKqODxmfRiG5L2BxRoJecWIjCE1TK08SHM/s400/Burning_+Life_2_001.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251058756667003538" /></a> And finally, I leave you with some shots from Sundial, my new sim.

There were a few requirements I needed to fulfill- a loch for landing seaplanes on, horse trails (of course), vehicular access, someplace for the Mer friends, and my new tree shop.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJm6KcKyM-Cv3iwRNW-u6GplerarXHVohr0C-7e6N6gYfe392K1u5Rn_sH9pBYagxgu1yQ1MPNwRtQYGOUzQb1t9es3f446qu33Zf-EYulKWjntU0gOFTtX130ZmxUZs3z_aMd-zsMPes/s1600-h/overhead+shot.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5240701347148719250" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJm6KcKyM-Cv3iwRNW-u6GplerarXHVohr0C-7e6N6gYfe392K1u5Rn_sH9pBYagxgu1yQ1MPNwRtQYGOUzQb1t9es3f446qu33Zf-EYulKWjntU0gOFTtX130ZmxUZs3z_aMd-zsMPes/s400/overhead+shot.jpg" border="0" /></a> From the SketchUp plan, I pulled off the topo lines and went over to PhotoShop to make a gray scale "height map". Each shade of gray indicated to the terrain in SL, what height it shall be. Black is the lowest- o meters elevation- white is the highest- 255m elevation or there abouts, it can vary depending on some other land reading factors, that I will point out in a bit.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6svY-h4aXK4_23dQt3Zv-ryB49qXj3xbvXuvD41hWQt70KBR0Wp7Kmz2-YNZPhuQ43VTxU446hl1m3OZflF9gUC08JqR3zktv4HtXr9Ol-396bt7Zy6v0kTd2-c87sw2_23IRRySqd9s/s1600-h/Sea+Drift+the+Sim_backup_topo.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5240701345968577122" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6svY-h4aXK4_23dQt3Zv-ryB49qXj3xbvXuvD41hWQt70KBR0Wp7Kmz2-YNZPhuQ43VTxU446hl1m3OZflF9gUC08JqR3zktv4HtXr9Ol-396bt7Zy6v0kTd2-c87sw2_23IRRySqd9s/s400/Sea+Drift+the+Sim_backup_topo.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6svY-h4aXK4_23dQt3Zv-ryB49qXj3xbvXuvD41hWQt70KBR0Wp7Kmz2-YNZPhuQ43VTxU446hl1m3OZflF9gUC08JqR3zktv4HtXr9Ol-396bt7Zy6v0kTd2-c87sw2_23IRRySqd9s/s1600-h/Sea+Drift+the+Sim_backup_topo.jpg"></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJwINgaPqYts5C11IGOqRSZC3vKlbkIeCEaovLCe3zmhXziqtXNDNy0S_vt6mlhqv1UzCoh5HM09a41ffoYczg8v8SHTJvg62L7zXTFVUXdCewGVsyl6L_b72CkIO7lob-ygmUhxuaVPM/s1600-h/Sea+Drift+the+Sim_backup_topo_grayscale_2_BLURRED.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5240701345978537778" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJwINgaPqYts5C11IGOqRSZC3vKlbkIeCEaovLCe3zmhXziqtXNDNy0S_vt6mlhqv1UzCoh5HM09a41ffoYczg8v8SHTJvg62L7zXTFVUXdCewGVsyl6L_b72CkIO7lob-ygmUhxuaVPM/s400/Sea+Drift+the+Sim_backup_topo_grayscale_2_BLURRED.jpg" border="0" /></a> When I had filled in the topo in a gray scale palette, I saved it and loaded it into a nifty little program called Bailiwick. This will take in your jpg image, and add the layers necessary to make a RAW file that the land engine in SL can read. Here you can tweak things like landmarks area, plots for sale, as well as the land scale settings, so your land height factors are reasonable and not at all like the Himalayas ( unless that is what you want).<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQl0_ZeRhiWCE_xO9u1-Qc_hLJl0Md8PTso4yAlc4OGG8I-d8JRtpliRu_ilv0SNXTG7fDCmXP5U3u-nq1ZAJHXvPcyud3u6QM8vIM3NtcMMcoVX-YYqwsvi160JTkmATIQzlwEZVBZFk/s1600-h/New+Land_007.jpg"></a>And then about 30 seconds after we loaded the finished RAW file into the SL database- Poof! magically, new terrain!

The problems, legal and technical, involved in making this data transfer happen, are numerous and complicated- but these guys, and others<br />have taken on the challenge.

This week, I had the privilege to interview Poseidon Dagostino, one of the premiere designers of Gorean Sims. These sims are for serious role play, and as such make some extraordinary demands on the designers... Imagine if someone handed you the complete works of Charles Dickens, or the Odyssey, or for that matter, the Nancy Drew series, and told you to make it into a world where avs could inhabit the roles in the book. John Norman has written 26 novels of Gor, and these are the basis for this RP world.<br /><br />As the designer and associate designer of 7 sims so far, Poseidon and his design firm- the Trident Group- have a lot to consider. The culture of these novels is similar to that of our world's, as inhabitants were actually transplanted from Earth. Skjern is modeled in part on the Vikings life circa 1000AD, with a farming, fishing and mining based economy that intertrades among the better than 20 plus sims that make up the Gorean presence in SL. When he designs a sim, Poseidon also has to consider the "playability" of the environs.<br /><br />So let's visit, shall we?<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRaf-wntNTltyuX_Aj7UjHmSK5o3VgD5oBt_s2OsTBw8zkQbhX6MdQ1IXjqz7hqHk9B6E4s-lv4Y3DkPLQKd8u6ewyjD4DQwada5ENFh0kJ9doFLKpBcofT6617StbvvNqc3p3qrMNRyo/s1600-h/poseidon_005.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225036948683521122" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRaf-wntNTltyuX_Aj7UjHmSK5o3VgD5oBt_s2OsTBw8zkQbhX6MdQ1IXjqz7hqHk9B6E4s-lv4Y3DkPLQKd8u6ewyjD4DQwada5ENFh0kJ9doFLKpBcofT6617StbvvNqc3p3qrMNRyo/s400/poseidon_005.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p>First stop, we disembark from a "serpent" one of the longboats of Gor.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijdLKmbMQcJEor0EomAJNDwr-2UsbYJVH0b0iUulGoWrV_7aPbHqPMi-wp0H5_JyyM1Vu9pj9syXdmP6CLN_-s6mvBjYHqYP3SK6joHzeFlpG749fZVW3osf5hfbT0AnSMwdkUk_Fo7Uk/s1600-h/poseidon_007.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225036951169358450" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijdLKmbMQcJEor0EomAJNDwr-2UsbYJVH0b0iUulGoWrV_7aPbHqPMi-wp0H5_JyyM1Vu9pj9syXdmP6CLN_-s6mvBjYHqYP3SK6joHzeFlpG749fZVW3osf5hfbT0AnSMwdkUk_Fo7Uk/s400/poseidon_007.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtTHQCy_SoU1A2kf5NNMM9SlMGiTuKkDGzut0z5RtFtlZseMChTK1_GsvY77OT8RI3Szf9QrqO12saXTqAsGjGIMsapPHEFNQwcahwl_x1nTKy8GZ6Ilr4JSkGSHHFAQkmRbFUugoHaHA/s1600-h/poseidon_010.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225039944882199826" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtTHQCy_SoU1A2kf5NNMM9SlMGiTuKkDGzut0z5RtFtlZseMChTK1_GsvY77OT8RI3Szf9QrqO12saXTqAsGjGIMsapPHEFNQwcahwl_x1nTKy8GZ6Ilr4JSkGSHHFAQkmRbFUugoHaHA/s400/poseidon_010.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><p></p><p></p><p></p><p><br /><br /></p>Very nicely organized with common spaces as well as homes for rental...<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0W6dnHar7p75A9drSALlXJYTMIXzXWN6LcMqHdRY0JakSZE60VeRC1ge-o5dl-bD3KIgUX3IHlkYDyjTRcNNpD-8HHofFkxG86psyY0hdjIhjOjr_-4tY1GComZmUE80Udoxa5PZQW_o/s1600-h/poseidon_012.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225036960238410498" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0W6dnHar7p75A9drSALlXJYTMIXzXWN6LcMqHdRY0JakSZE60VeRC1ge-o5dl-bD3KIgUX3IHlkYDyjTRcNNpD-8HHofFkxG86psyY0hdjIhjOjr_-4tY1GComZmUE80Udoxa5PZQW_o/s400/poseidon_012.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p><br /><br /></p>These fellows are Bosks, big, shaggy, and not too talkative...<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhidCeDUQu4lYqhESqCUJ3Kr6mUwGciV0Q213KbSTJNxpHaR8-JCpmzfLi-UfQLajS1YRIC5HyDqLAQorAI3B8RCBPyxlUNuqFUb2XSzm87Sxh9QU9Q6Y3nXvf0wVgSRnAYEsiFXWC5LZU/s1600-h/poseidon_020.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225034832698575282" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhidCeDUQu4lYqhESqCUJ3Kr6mUwGciV0Q213KbSTJNxpHaR8-JCpmzfLi-UfQLajS1YRIC5HyDqLAQorAI3B8RCBPyxlUNuqFUb2XSzm87Sxh9QU9Q6Y3nXvf0wVgSRnAYEsiFXWC5LZU/s400/poseidon_020.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><br /><br />Baked goods!

That question has an answer as varied as SL itself, so fasten your<br />seat belts, it's going to be a bumpy ride...0.0<br /><br /><span style="color:#3366ff;">Bonjour cher lecteur, Comment je suis chanceuse d'avoir une fois de plus un véritable talent individuel de vous présenter - Rencontrez Khades Zenovka, fondateur et chef du Groupe Khades. Il ya quelques avs que vous rencontrez dans Second Life qui ont mis en place un tel talent-suivant son groupe est de 300 et de plus en plus forte ... Qui sont-ils?

With that system, she believes that the lindens will come back to Linden Labs, in a way to cover the costs of their free accounts.<br /><br />A fair proposal, I would say.<br /><br />This group is a young one in SL and as she puts it- just a test. She hopes that more creators would like to contribute things and add to the group pool.<br /><br /><span style="color:#3366ff;">Khades elle-même a mis de cette façon de penser du groupe comme un grand disque partagé-un inventaire commun que tous peuvent accéder, et un lieu pour se rencontrer, s'aider les uns les autres, trouver des amis et avoir du plaisir. Tout ce qu'ils font est distribué ou vendu pour très peu dans son magasin, et la Lindens qu'elle reçoit de qui sont remis dans le groupe que les fonds pour payer les téléchargements et d'autres services dont ils ont besoin.

On display are Chance Abattoir, Vlad Bjornson, nand Nerd, Selavy Oh, Adam Ramona, Nebulosus Severine, AngryBeth Shortbread, Sasun Steinbeck, Sabine Stonebender, Seifert Surface, elros Tuominen, Juria Yoshikawa, and i7o Zhu<br />Hyperformalism is non-figurative abstraction in hyper-medium and has been known to include abstract objects arranged in simulated space, navigable on a network as well as expressions of reactive and interactive artwork behaviors and geometric or algorithmic pattern play in 2, 3, and 4 dimensions. This list is far from comprehensive. Because Hyperformalism is not representational, viewer relationships are less fettered by pre-existing symbolic weight and artworks encourage fascination with form for its own sake. The virtual world provides the ability to liberate the work from scale constraints and provides a perfect context for this post-conceptualist form.<br />With a figure in the picture, nobody notices the landscape. Hyperformalism proposes that that by removing the comfortable cliché of anthropocentricism a viewer will be more open to a whole other class of experiences that resonate on a more basic level of awareness and reflect back to the viewer their own humanity. The perception of immersion and variable point of view implicates the viewer into unique relationships with the work destroying all of the usual boundaries between the viewer and the work.<br />While space in virtual worlds is a simulation, place can be real. In fact art experiences are the only thing that can be real in both the virtual and material worlds at the same time. Abstractions that exist as discoverable objects are somewhere between object and concept. It is the state of half existence between object and concept that differentiates formal abstraction in virtual worlds from preceeding expressions of formalism, minimalism and abstract expressionism. Hyperformalism is not Modernism, it is not Post-modernism because it is native to a continuum where only the human mind can visit and where the body and the ideological weight of the figure are not the default fixed point of view.
