Sheridan in Second Life Project

Postby ProfWendi » Fri Jul 17, 2009 12:10 pm

Here's some info about what I demonstrated to most of you in week 8:

...still looking for help with the building and scripting!!!!

..or just come out and play. I'll even put together a notecard of those "combat" places you're all interested in :idiot:

I'll be posting pictures of my ugly build soon, after I fix the "sit" problems with my lecture hall benches :P :P :P

Pictures of the build so far. I wanted an "open air" space that would be inviting, so anyone could feel like coming in to use the tutorials.

The big white boards will be the tutorial slides, and various interactive objects between and in front of them.

Image
Most of the land parcel with the floating signs. Nice seating area to the right under the maple tree and Sheridan-coloured beanbag chairs :)

Image
One corner of the "school", although since this pic was taken, I changed the sofa and added some tables to cover the lump of land sticking through the brick wall. Blank boards will hold variable tutorials. The board with my avatar photo is the "on-line indicator" which displays whether or not I'm in-world or not. Eventually will edit this script so you can click the sign to leave a message.

Image
More empty tutorial boards.


Image
Linux Soda Machine at the main entrance (I forget which kind I was "drinking")


Image
Sitting in my virtual office in the other corner.


Image
Unfinished seating/chat area - beanbags under a maple tree where people can relax and have "voice chat".

second life has voice chat? COOL! Looks great to bad I don't know anything about building 3d Objects.) I'm no judge of graphics since I don't play any new games(think the newest game I played was from 2005) but it LOOKS great so far <thumbs um emoticon>. Ignore the other previews versions of this post, this one is closer to what I want to say.

I kept meaning to post the project's Flickr page -- lots more pictures, and all those ones I posted earlier are out of date -- I took that build down and replaced it a few months ago!

Also, big, big news!!! This morning we ordered the Sheridan College island! That means no more mainland - now we have our very own island region!! This means we can build without worrying about annoying the neighbours (or vice versa) and we have so much space!!! The space in Driscoll right now is less than a quarter of the space we'll have on our own island!

I'll be keeping the Hamnida rental location (too good to let that go since NCI is right there) but starting in about 2 weeks (when they'll have processed our order, verified who we are, and get the island where we want it) I'm going to start moving stuff from Driscoll to the new island. Driscoll will stay active for about a month or so, then I think I'm going to sell it off, but I'll let everyone in the ACES group know so you can update your landmarks.

W00t!
/me is doing a happy dance! :bounce:
