Monti Messmer Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Hello, depend on what you want to build. Houses, its build with the ingame-tools like blocks and spheres ... then textured. Usually there is no scripting needed because for things like lights or doors you can pick up free scripts that do the job. If it´s going to be cars or planes, toys ... everything moving or do something like a carousel ? You will need scripts to do and that needs some learning; depending on your knowledge about computer-programming. But you can find good help to learn ingame. There are classes about everything.

Penny Patton Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Keep in mind that you won't be able to build accurate recreations of real-world buildings without visitors running into problems. Avatars are most commonly between 6'8" and 8' tall (the height given in the appearance editor and many scripted "height detectors" are wrong) and crouching does not affect your physical bounding box so there is no way for them to even fit through the door of an accurately constructed real world building. Up-scaling will work, but it also dramatically increases the amount of prims and land area you'll need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMarcuse Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 My problem could be in creating Malls etc. I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufus Darkfold Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Preferably you have photographs of the building from all sides. You may need to use a tool like Photoshop to clean up any perspective distortion if the pictures were taken at an angle, and to fill in any gaps in your photo coverage. I have built a rough model of my RL home in SL to assist in planning some remodeling we are considering. I am building an Egyptian museum using photos I took in Egypt.

MikeMarcuse Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 After I fill the gaps do I have to use any other external sources and can you share with us the real pics with the contstruction you have builded? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
