Hammering Away

OK. Let's be honest; I am just being hammy here with my hammer. BUT there is a story. I have been uploading my OpenSim Pied de Terre brownstone to SL. This is the first building I have ever ported in the SL direction -- mostly because physics can be a pain. But miraculously I got both doorway and stairs on the first try.  Yep surprised.

As I moved from the beta grid to my building pad I noted that I was a tad overdressed to be hammering, and that made me smile. Smiling is good, so I am sharing. The build will be up later today in the full sim city.  I have some stunning interior pieces to add, but it will be mostly facade for awhile.  Happily it came in very low land impact. Yes, clapping at that.

2015 Trailer

A new trailer is out for 2015. See it at the landing point at LEA7 (you need your media on of course)  or online. Have you visited all the spots? There are of course PLENTY that didn't make it into the 03:15 minute film.

Limited Engagements

Since land impact points are a finite entity in Second Life and LEA7 is packed full of so much, I have decided to institute a Limited Engagement factor.

We all like newness but at the same time the backbones of MOSP are in place. Throwing away the old favorites (and still very filmable) sets JUST because there is a new flavor of the month doesn't make much sense to me.

So a compromise; new things for a few weeks at a time.  First up -- a surfer bar. Dig out some Beach Boys music, put on your best Beach Blanket Bingo attire and get in the mood. I grew up in surfer country so this was a fun set to design.

Bring your own beer -- or heck, bring a cooler and some friends.

Find it right across from the lighthouse at ground level. The setup is designed to be filmed from this direction but there are areas on both sides that could become shops or bars or whatever you need.  Remember "restore to last position" will let you replace your props as needed with little effort.
