W14 Final


W14 Final

Brushed up on the Entrance details and completed the teleporter, with 4 co-ordinates: The first 3 parts of the puzzle, and you also get the choice of teleporting directly to the MMShare portion, where you can enter the puzzle letters... CONTROL.

I was given a uniform recently, and it ties in with my Entrance creation. I would be the information/helpdesk person (and secretly guarding the of the entrance from radioactive people)

We also evaluated the other classes work. Quite impressed by the detail of the Flinders St Station.

W11 Space Station Work

W11 Additional Modelling.

Did further work on the Space Station. Recognised the limitations of the dome, since building section sizes are limited to 10m. Developed the shapes ideas.

I will be creating the entrance platform, where people fly in from.

Great story description from David Green.

W10 Refining Space Station Idea

W10 Refining Space Station Idea

Refined the idea of our Space platform.

Central dome with individual orbs or sections coming out from it. Central dome have communal meeting area? or outside? No... The bar and social areas don't seem to be places that people want to visit in their spare time outside of the semester... I suppose being outcome and story oriented is more practical than creating a avatar utopia.









I like the retro aesthetic, because it has chunky geometric shapes that can be constructed in 2nd Life easier.
Great retro website here.
History & Story
