just a bit...

APPLE!

Lots of new apple macs imported in !!

planning to put some pages of our journals on there to add variety!

vector

vector question answered! NOT TO WORRY!! YAY!

light!

wala~

particles

All particle system lights are now COMPLETE !!!!

Texture

When trying to upload my our images and textures via Phoenix-it's the only viewer apart from NZVWG(which is now crashing) that lets you do so, the images disappear after log off !!!

FRUSTRATING!!!!

particles

found a very useful websites which helps with adding particles !!!

the library will now come to life!

roof !

The roof is now complete!! with particle systems and different settings on each section.

Very ecologically friendly and sustainable !!

stairs

particle system added to the stairs to light up the way~~~~

particle

adding particle system to pathways and entrances, hopefully the back stairs too!!!

looking GOOOOD~

roof4

The 4th !!! is ready and done!
We might decide to go back later to add more interactive things to each section.

roof3

this is the 3rd section, I have moved on from the square furniture to a circular aesthetic.

getting tired ... ..

roof

a different set is made, this one for the user to enjoy the lovely sunset!!!

roof


I have started to add furniture and plantation on the roof top. hopefully each different square of grass will have a different set of furniture built on it for different purposes.

pillars

pillars and lighting added outside for a more grand entrance and feel.

new

new layout roughly planned.
Adding plants inside to freshen up the air.

seats

seats and pillars are added, therefore a different arrangement of furniture inside would be required.
maybe some computer desks at the back for research etc.

urban

this plan view of the entire site of our library shows the connection to the journals which I'm in charge of.
The neatly placed squares represent houses and the space between them represent roads in the cities. It shows the uniformity of a city but the curves under the roof is much more interesting and vibrant-much like the city life which goes unseen from the surface.

ceiling


Trying to add some lights to the ceiling that corresponds to the patterns on the walls.

lights!



After switching yet to ANOTHER viewer- PHOENIX VIEWER, the 'hidden' lights are now visible which makes editing SOOOO much easier...

I should try imprudence....maybe it'll be even more surprising.... hopefully it can solve the problem of not being able to add media textures....

solved

question of how to use particle lab solved with Judy's help~

scripting

when scripting, found out that by reducing the movement units and duplicating them, the movement becomes smoother and less aggressive.

However the final effect can not be viewed...as currently all the 'lights' are not operating...due to some error in 2nd life...

I hope it starts working before the crit, so we get to see the final outcome,instead of guessing....

solved. somewhat.

We managed to solve the problem of not being able to add texture by downloading HippoViewer.
It's so much more efficient!!

roof

barriers added to roof garden for safety precautions.

one LOOONNNGGG night...

struggle

stairs added to roof garden at the back of the library. barriers will also have to be added on the roof garden as well as seating? maybe they can just sit on the gardens to enjoy the nature around them.

failure

showing fail texture application due to NZVWG failure-granite was only able to be applied to the small area on far left... and book shelf arrangement.

second life struggle

Second life has officially taken over my REAL life... wait... that is my REAL life....

crash

images shows random parts where the texture CAN NOT BE ADDED after SEVERAL trails - meaning SEVERAL CRASHES. !!!!

second life struggle

After hours and hours on second life the basic shape of our virtue library is finally complete.
Although a new problem has come up - We can not change the texture on our individual prims.
The only way to alter this so far is to link a few prims together then change the texture of those prims, but even so every time a change is made, second life crashes. I am currently cycling through crashing, reopening, crashing...etc.
NZVWG is not functioning as I want it to !
