So this will be the main component - a walkway and barriers all the way around

Shaping it for a circular floor and railings

Side view. Two front speakers added for effect. The computers are placeholders for DJ and lighting controllers

The DJ post. This is provisional but likely this position.

Back to the preview rooms. Added a row of DVD and Download posters. All the same functionality

and with glass inserts roughly in position and Ward adding fencing all around the edge

Back to the bridge (in the meantime I am scripting and dealing with many other collaborations on this project). Charlene has added lighting

Again high view checking navigation of space

The basic pool in place - taking a rest on the edge of the deep end ;-)

You can almost smell the stale beer

ALternate view and a lot more grass added

The dome from the inside - the private dance area has a 'full bright' internal dome for effect, the public is darkened on the inside

Here we can see the side windows that add texture and interest

A wider shot of the two built up sims

The BP V8 promo actually fits in well with cars whizzing past

A series of arial shots for a notice board in the welcome area

A sign size ruler

Trying to get the main structure for the bar finished today (about half days work so far), edu centres tomorrow. Extended the flooring so there is some match going into the next sim

A wider shot showing the main areas - from right to left. Grandstand and bottom mountain track, Opera House, control tower and top loop track, and harbour bridge in distance

At midnight - another movie test for eyeline

View from the inlet

Doesnt quite flush yet - will build one from scratch with a flush sound - also a paper and other items to be left around

An interesting bit as the tour takes you underwater

Reduce size - easy to fix as is changing the lighting effects

Some nuzzle dances and funk ones. Will add a default 'loaded' with standard dances here later

The flexi coral here is nice with a mixture of rezzing fish. It does actually flow back and forth

and to the bar area - iterative zoning-r-us

This is from the ramp past the diving centre - placed two tall trees to market entrance and generally changing positions of everything to get more obvious navigation here

More delicate coral elsewhere - nice with the boat on the surface

I am doing final inspection now. The ribbing on the inside of the sails and a thicker front edge may still be added - not for now though

Dropping the new road components into place, removing the old ones. Also notice the central lines have been removed

This is the default walkway now - a 50% transparent paving and persion railing

The basic bird noises come from this birdhouse - the fountain in the back ground is bespoke - a few tweaks yet

Now to add supporting pillars - at bottom first

Using me for scale - went for gold 'indigenous' texture on seating for now. May be too busy

Had ten minutes to spare so built and outhouse for those moments

and an after - the textures and heights all have to match perfectly

The red markers are the two 'sail dome' lines

The brown doors are touch and sensor operated - self built, basic script

This is single dance area - intend to double up anmd join together

With external barriers, inner track block and now building the viewing and pit area

All objects had to be reassigned to Pond Admin - a time consuming task. Also notice the new screening room layout
