later tries in doing architecture within SL environment; using my own photographs, turning them into 1-bit black & white images with threshold command in photoshop, saving them as transparent PNGs, mapping them onto transparent planes within the metaverse.
photos used are from amsterdam, netherlands (bikes) and cadiz, spain.
The poses are by the amazing Frigg Ragu. Who else? I am addicted. Actually looking forward to taking photos of these things nowadays! Amazing...
This is actually a really old outfit which I completely retextured and added countless attachements to. It is unisex, has male/female skins, skirts for both, capes - one simple the other one more ornate, no less than 4 variations on the necklace (got a tad carried away there - hhh), torso, arm and leg ornaments, boots for boyz and gurlz, and a mohawk of course.

Taken using SL defaults on Ultra and a late afternoon setting.
This sphere will distort, split apart and fragment any linked prim object. The pieces that fall towards the perimeter of the sphere travel/rotate at great speed while pieces that manage to stay closer to the center go much slower.
The object being demolished at the moment is actually an avatar, built in homage to Miro. Now this one here takes all of its input from EEG scans and reconfigures itself according to that live data feed...
Cool huh? Hey, what can I tell ya? They have all these totally brilliant instructors you know...
hhhhh
More shots of the power plant and Cappadocia. I have added a series of hamster wheels which I did do some work on first: Lifitng the wheels out of their cages and adding some color and shine really helped integrate them into the plant I think. Also added are some gothic thorn bushes from the Heart Gardening Center, which I have sunk into big concrete planters. I have decided long ago that plants sunk into SL soil just don't do it for me. And I have added the rain, huge thunderstorms in fact. This has all been taken with windlight and I love the way you get a mixture of sun and rain in some of these. It has proven to be almost impossible to capture the lightning on these shots, but if you actually go there you will see that it is lightning and thundering like crazy...
There are many repeat shots here where the only difference is the windlight settings. I am uploading them anyway since it may interest people to see how big the difference is.

Amina wanted to do something "middle eastern", and no amount of lecturing on my part on the lamentable fact that we would not be able to belly-dance our way out of a paper bag could stop her.
So, here it is folks. A full set of belly-dance silks (+ some very nice sculpty high heel sandals and hair).

Up until about 800 years ago Turks were nomads, living on the plains of Central Asia. So, contrary to popular misconception, we are not a middle eastern/Arabic culture but an oriental one; the closest linguistic relatives being Korean and Japanese. And apparently my own looks kick back to a great grandfather from Bukhara...
So, what better dwelling than a tent for a virtual nomad?
This one is from Angry Monkey, although I changed all of the original textures. Those were quite nice too but not exactly right for Syncretia.

This unisex outfit is actually the sister outfit of one on which Xiamara is working at the moment. I should probably be saying "brother outfit" though, considering that this has actually been designed by Grapho, our in-house dark/texture specialist.
These two outfits are both inspired by the novel "My name is Red" by Turkish Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuk. The book describes the events surrounding a murder amongst illuminator/calligraphers in 16th century Istanbul. And so, Ottoman ornamentation is the underlying design system for both this one as well as Xia's, which will in fact be called "My name is Red" in tribute to Orhan Pamuk, and will be released within a few days. (Hopefully!)
Oh and, not to forget, Grapho has lightened up the regal nature of the pennants and the Ottoman boots which go with the outfit, with a custom textured pogo stick with which you can become a hopping Sultan or Sultana!

The famous Replicator avatar of Grendel's Children. I did not use one in its entirety but assembled the elements of several of them around Alpha; since in their original state these avatars diverge too far from the human and would probably fall outside the Uncanny Valley's threshold.
In this first trial shoot I am using Loli Nori's really amazing charcoal "Drow" skin, which she (for some reason best known to her alone) is giving away as a freebie at the Bare Rose Mall. This skin is simply the best skin that I have seen anywhere in Second Life. Sadly, I do not use it on a regular basis since the dark tone sort of stops Alpha from being the "look alike" avatar that I prefer her to be. I am not too sure that this skin will actually get Alpha into the range of the Valley's threshold since it is actually very "humanly" expressive. It is why it is such a gorgeous skin in the first place...

The reflective surfaces are not textures!
Mumixer had pointed me in the direction of Devil's Moon a few weeks ago but with one thing and another I only made it out there today - and fell flat on my face so to speak: I was always under the impression that reflections and reflectivity is beyond the scope of present day real time render. So, how on earth did they achieve this? And why does it create no lag whatsoever? I took a lot of screenshots, some from the exact same location at slight angle variations since I want my computer scientist colleague, Selim to take a look at these and tell me what the hell is going on here...
Beautiful SIM too btw, but quite frankly the technology had me so gobsmacked that I couldn't really take much else in. Will go back for sure.
6 hours later:
ahum... Mossy put me wise: It is an extremely clever design trick: They did the entire architecture twice, one being the perpendicular mirror image of the other and then interleaved it with those transparent textures.
jeez... am i embarrassed or what?
