SandorWren Posted April 16 Author Share Posted April 16 (edited) Working on Security at The National Blab Offices in my Swallow alt. They aren't customized yet though. This is one difficult system to setup!!! It doesn't affect anything outside of a predefined area though, so anyone flying over is safe.

Clem Marques Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 (edited) Someone I'm close with helped me upgrade (and finally finish) my small public park today. He made it look much, much better than it was before. Couldn't have done it on my own. I'm very grateful.

Scylla Rhiadra Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Another old pic rescued from the shoebox under my bed in Voroznia. My bathroom isn't large enough for a bathtub -- and there's barely enough hot water to fill one anyway (Comrade Antonova says they'll be upgrading the building boiler next year . . .but she told me that last year), so I just have a slightly grotty shower. 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scylla Rhiadra Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Probably the least interesting, and certainly (*cough cough*) the least used of the rooms in my flat is my bedroom. It DOES feature the world's ugliest bed, that looks like it was constructed from old parts salvaged from a dumpster. I'm rather proud of it. Comrade Antonova keeps hinting that I should be finding a nice young man, preferably a Party member, and producing sons and daughters to serve the Motherland, but . . . meh. Not all of me needs to be put to the service of the state, and there are definitely a few bits and pieces that I prefer to preserve for private, personal use only. Anyway, the room is mostly furnished with hand-me-downs: some Ukrainian folk art, a PSI poster, books and knickknacks, a battered old wardrobe and chest of drawers, etc. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archangel969 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 (edited) I decided to remove the small orangery next to the rainbow club and put back more park-like surroundings in Canal city. That provided some extra prims. I had in the back of my mind for ages the idea of making a small cinema in one of the canal houses and now that was possible. But the prims were limited so I had to work economically! I always think then: what are the most important things when I think of 'cinema?' What makes a cinema (apart from a movie screen) a cinema? Clichés are allowed, they actually help. First of all: a ticket boat. So I removed the lower facade and made a new one with a ticket booth in it. Personally, I am not a popcorn lover, so if people will forgive me, I skipped that cliche. And then: atmosphere. Warm colours, red carpets and film posters with gold frames (from Dutch movies in this case). It should give a sense of going out and some luxury. But not the luxury of expensive mansions, but the luxury of the people, consumer luxury, tinsel. Because film is working-class entertainment, but it also comes with a sense of grandeur. It has become a small neighbourhood cinema with a few of these elements in it: a foyer with film posters, a bar and finally the cinema room.

When decorating Delamar movie theatre, I also thought of examples in RL. And then not so much in terms of furnishing but in terms of atmosphere: intimate cosy cinemas. Near me in the centre of Utrecht you have Louis Hartlooper and Springhaver. And in Amsterdam of course, you have the city's oldest film house The Movies which - like Delamar movie theatre in Canal city - is situated in an Amsterdam town house.

Garnet Psaltery Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 At Fairelands Junction for the opening of Fantasy Faire. I took a couple of pics then I'd have taken a SLURL but my CPU was up to 82% so I made a quick exit. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archangel969 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 (edited) Now I had a cinema room in my movie theatre but I was still missing something... You know, one of those dark windows where the film projector is behind. And of course a person operating the projector! The cinema room is small, so no space to build a booth in it so that had to be stuck against the back of the building and I made with Photoshop a texture of the wallpaper with a hole in it for the projection port window. Poor littele technician! He must stand behind that window in that tiny cubicle operating the projector day and night! Those dummies have a tough life! I don't understand why an action committee by and for SL dummies has not yet been set up to stand up for their rights! Outrageous how we (and I too) treat them!

archangel969 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 (edited) And so I wanted to put a small sound file in the film posters with a tiny fragment of the films, but the scripts won't play unfortunately! Very odd, if I place the posters in the middle of the room they do play but it's a weird sight. I've tried everything, up to setting all the walls to 'no shape'. I always do that when I can't walk through a door, which I often solve by setting the doorframe to 'no shape'. But anyway, i was so wild about setting everything to 'no shape' there that i fell through the floor so i fixed everything again. Anyway, do you guys ever have a situation where a sound script works on one wall of the room but not on the other? And how did you guys possibly fix that? Never a dull moment in SL! 🙂 Edited April 18 by archangel969 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
