What do you Create in Second Life! Show me what ya got!

[Hippie Bowman]

Hi everyone!  As some of you know, I am a Space Craft Builder here in Second Life.  I love anything to do about space, and space flight.  The following are some of my creations.

This is a space coupe.  It is a physical vehicle, and will carry 2 passengers.  This is one of my smallest builds.

This is an orbital shuttle.  It is a physical vehicle also.  It is very fun ship to fly!

This is a transport ship.  It is a Non Physical vehicle, and will carry 6 passengers.

This is a Flying Saucer.  It is a non physical ship.  It has weapons.  It has 3 scene rezzers, that will rez out a bar, captains quarters, and a galley.  The thrusters give off particles in flight.  Very fun ship to fly!

This is what I call the Space RV.  It is a Non Physical ship.  It has 3 scene rezzers, that include a galley, captains quarters, sick bay, living area, bar, and library.  I think this one is my favorite builds!

This is the Lunar Lander.  It is a non physical ship.I am currently working on this build.  It will have scene rezzer, and a small pod in the landing bay.

This is a Battleship.  It is a Non Physical vehicle.  It has weapons, and scene rezzers.  It has a war room, a bar, captains quarters, library, sick bay, engineering section, and a small pod in landing bay.  One of my favorite builds!

I can not take credit for this build.  It is a very large space station in the middle of the sim, at about 3000 meters.  It is made of sculpts!  What a build!

Ok!  Now it is your turn!  Show me your favorite builds!  Show us what you got!

Peace!

My skybox, my own work, has a rooftop garden and a gazebo.

thought it might help if people could actually see the images (the relative URLS were off by a folder level or two so I replaced them with fell paths)

PS
I mostly script, so not a lot of building happening, but I'll see if I can't find some shots of two recent person demo projects.

ETA:
Probably just as well that you don't take credit on the last one.... looks quite a bit like some of the Galspan bases from Tachyon

ETA@:
I see you got it fixed now, no need for my quote

[Hippie Bowman]

Thanks Void!

Yeah I fixed it!

Peace!

[Void Singer]

weird, it reverted to (broken) relative links again....

[Hippie Bowman]

Thats weird!  I see it okay!  Anyone else see it strange?

Peace!

[Void Singer]

it's the relative links... the folder depth is different when you are replying or linked in to a particular (highlighted) post.

you can easily see the difference by clicking on options for the post and selecting highlight.

the same thing happens if you click the link for the most recent post in forum view.

I think I fixed it this time Void!  Sigh!  Thanks for the heads up!

Peace!

based on several steampunk revisions of a popular New England Rifle Factory* handgun. no moving parts, although I did add my own gun script to it.

 

this was quick built for a competition to see if my tunings for a vehicle script speed and turn performance profile were correct.... it contain all sorts of SF reference including ST, RD, 2010, Jetsons, and a few other geeky in jokes in the ad copy....the running lights flash, the engine flares are animated at three speeds, and the anchor ties disappear when you board it (they're part of a separate rezzor). the engine speed was custom tuned to 7.75m/s at top speed and handles region border crossing and high lag extremely well.

ETA:
notice that the rigging does not suffer from the normal alpha sorting problem (most of the time, it's impossible to eliminate entirely)... this was done with an inner cylinder textured on the outside only, perfectly matched to an outer hollow cylinder textured on the inside only... the tie down ropes use the same technique, and are only actually 2 prims for all four textured at the edges of the faces. the tie down spikes are a single tortured tube each.

ETA2:
spelign, and corrected the company psuedonym of the weapon (which is a joke itself... make it an acronym to get the joke)

I've made a house.

A bit empty still, but it will soon fill up.

Am I allowed to put a mesh here? Here is a two-prim* mesh staircase. Could do something similar with sculpties, but I would never have got the textures as correct. And you can walk up these without adding invisible things. OK, I know, I need to put a cross-cut texture on the tops of the posts!

*cheating a bit, there's no collision shape on the outside of the steps because it's going to be against a wall. That might add another prim cost.

PS. Did some expertiments - I think I could make this with one sculpty with reasonable texturing but no LOD protection, but (a) it would have the smooth shading at the sharp corners problem, and (b) it would be 2048 triangles while the mesh is only 272 triangles.

That is so cool! Great build!  You are so talanted!  Thanks for sharing your build!  Sending out a Kudo to you!

 

Peace!

[Drongle McMahon]

Not talent. Just perseverance. :smileyindifferent:

[Hippie Bowman]

LOL!  Ok!

[Void Singer]

the cost on that mesh is only 2 prims?! my hat is off to you!
