Building Finished!!

So i think we've pretty much finished with building the library now.

Going to upload some different views/angles of the building to show you guys the content and our progress.

The view/interior of our library taken from the outside.

I am satisfied with our work :)

Here are the lights + lightswitch that i made.

On the right are the particles that my group and i made.

Our group's bookshelves.

See the wide range in colours and design. (Mine is the brown one with 9 books on it, furthese away from us)

So this is the wall where we're displaying our Alpha and Offset textures.

Looks pretty cool ay!

These are 3 little interactive things that i've added relating to my journals, giving a little insight to visitors.

Here are me and my team mates' blogs!

Looks pretty cool huh

Bookshelf!

OK, so this is my bookshelf that i've made for access to journal information.

Doesn't have any detail yet. Will be adding some sort of scripting to it so that it does something cool.

Wish me luck.

Just a little update (scripting)...

I managed to produce sliding glass doors in our little library!!

I used Scratch 4 Second Life to script the commands.

Just casually standing there...

Chirag is behind me pointing at something.

Journal Information

Today i went to the library to read up on my Journal information.

I have decided that i will largely need to focus on 3 essentials/factors that will be implemented on the design of our building.

Religious Architecture - i will attempt to incorporate the study of religion in the "library" and offer an environment that is fit for religious studies.

Interior Design - one of my journals is an interior design/architecture magazine. from this, i will try focus on increasing details of the interior that we use in our own library as well as generating ideas from the resources of the journal.

ACSA News - probably the most vague of the three factors. i will offer links in our library to the ACSA Newsletter.

Tree House!

We started on the construction of our treehouse on Archicad.

Here are some screenshots of our progress.

Simple plan drawing!

Starting to add detail to our treehouse - Lauren's smart car.

Adding depth to our tree house. The tree will be IN the house.

Final details of house, the stairs.

Everybody needs stairs.

Our house is finished.

Building going along smoothly...

I have learnt to purchase objects from the Second Life Marketplace! :)

The tree on the left is the result of my shopping.

Offset Filters and Alpha Channels

I have photos of my offset and alpha channels in my Second Life library...will upload them shortly.

3 interesting links telling me about Architecture in the Virtual World.
