My Fishing Dungeon

Monday, July 21st, 2008

My castle, which is located in the Animate Me Poseballs sim, has three levels. The dungeon, the main area and the throne room. The throne room is like my personal space. the main area is where all my vendors and affiliate vendors are placed and the dungeon was once a place where I put freebies. Now, since I don’t have that much freebies to giveaway, I decided to change the dungeon into something else.

The idea of changing the dungeon into a fishing area just came out of nowhere. I then went to build a very simple fishing pool with 8 chairs around it and placed it in my dungeon. If King Arthur has “The Round Table” in his castle then in my castle I have “The Round Fishing Pool”. (more…)

Contest Entry

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

I wasn’t doing anything important this morning so I decided to give the VPRS Kiosk Kontest a try. Besides camping and exploring, I am also an aspiring builder (we can dream right?) and this kind of contest is a great learning tool and a great way to exercise and develop some skills.

My idea for the Kiosk is to make it really simple and to use a maximum of only 5 prims. I already have a picture of the Kiosk in my mind so after putting together some basic shapes I was able to complete the frame of the kiosk. The next thing I did is create the textures. Using Photoshop and some Stock Photos, I was able to create the textures I needed for the kiosk, so, I logged back in and applied the textures I made to the kiosk. The end product looked like this:

Kiosk

The kiosk I made uses a log as base with wooden boards for the signs. Almost all of the textures are custom made except for the piece of wood that’s holding the big poster board.

Kiosk

It is only 5 prims and if you remove the big poster board then it will only be 3 prims.

Kiosk

The advantage of having a high prim build is that you can have more details, the disadvantage is that you’ll use more prims. With a low prim build, you can use textures to simulate the details you need. For my kiosk, I think I used 5 custom textures. 3 for the boards and 2 for the log.
