Tips and Tricks at MOSP 4.0

 

 

There are three main levels to MOSP.  

Terradale -- a sleepy little town that time has forgotten

Night City -- modern compact area

Backdrops -- a curated collection of themed readymade sets from my personal collection as well as an off the grid grunge set and a minimalist spot with standing stones.  

Tips and Tricks  (Firestorm and other 3D viewers may be needed) 

You can  Restore to Previous Position in the viewer interface so if you run over your 20 minutes and have made a styling or added items to the props already provided in the set you can go to your lost and found and replace them quickly.

BEWARE of rezzing no copy items (not new news).  There are about 250 land impact points but you could lose your item if someone else is also here rezzing.  If you have a "primmy" item then of course use a sandbox.  This region was never meant for that use. 

Derender is your friend.  Anything you don't want to see while you shoot, just make it disappear. 

This is a homestead region so it can't get too crowded but you can turn on "Show Friends Only" so you can avoid others impacting your shots. If you are filming others then of course "friend" them so you can see them :D. 

Getting around quickly can be done via LM or double clicking to teleport or camming and sitting.  Most areas have places you can "chair hop".  I have turned off flying purposefully so as not to break emersion for those here for the interactive mystery.  

If you need to rez something large (a house for example) the best place is the backdrop area which has plenty of open space.  

Play nice with each other.  If there is trouble I am usually only an email message away but typically that hasn't been an issue in the past.

Machinima Open Studio Project Reopening 2026

 One More Time!   

After seven years the Machinima Open Studio Project is once again open. Filmmakers and photographers are welcome to wander fand film.  20 minute rez times for props is still in force and there is no group needed. Just play nicely.  Land impact and visitors are limited as this is a homestead (not Linden Lab) region. With many new areas to explore and clear skies it was a joy to build. 

I hope you enjoy. 

Some brand new along with some old favorites -- the main areas are :

Ground level ==

 TERRADALE

Terradale has been awakened after a long sleep. It is no longer "steamy". You will not see floating balloons traversing the skies. It still has it mysteries however and the now sleepy small town 20th century community has even more to see.  You can discover the mystery of this 2017 LEA build by wandering  the land and clicking on "welcome" signs.  Or if you are not a wanderer you can read the story.  Find more info at the landing point. 

Tis a sleepy town, Small and with a rich history. And without the hustle and bustle of the city it is easy to forget what year it really is. 

A farming community keeps the town supplied with basics. The busy dock and winery with fish and potables -- and of course there is bus service to a nearby town. 

While much of Terrradale is designed for outdoor scenes, some homes and stores are furnished including:

The detective office

The tailor

 The bakery

The station agent

several ranch and town houses

and lots more ......

NIGHT CITY  (photos here)

The night city level features a modern theme which includes a photography studio, a pottery store, an outdoor art gallery,  a florist, a park, a subway, an outdoor restaurant, a bust stop and some modern row houses.  A snowy movie scene is also being filmed there. 

BACKDROPS

Backdrops as well as an off the grid grunge scene can be found on their own level. These are a select group of scenes from my vast collection and include seasonal backdrops as well as some themed interiors.    A standing stone scene is also on this level.
