A Virtual exhibit during Covid-19 Winter of 2020

____________________________

December 2020 [CLOSED]
'A stay at home project
during covid-19.'

____________________________

After 2,5 year I decided to come back, and hold an exhibition for the entire month of December 2020. This is held in a dome 'The Xaraz Gallery' with a three level underground gallery space. As most of my exhibits been build with water elements this gallery space isn't any different.

The gallery is situated in the oldest mainland continent Sansara of Second life.

LX at SL15B

SL 15th birthday celebration seemed the right moment to present some of my color photography in SL, and will be my last participation to the SLB events. Here you can view my last year participation and build.

The following images show the designed, and build of my presentation. With my last year experience I decided to use prims - instead of mesh - for faster rendering. No scripts were used beside the seats and all texturing in 512 resolution. The display is build on a water parcel and continued under water for the reflection effect. I made milk glass outset screens and use of fluorescent lighting effect in midnight windlight.

There is an art frame with a gif from Salvador Odrec. This reminded me of Chad Wys, a visual artist which work I follow. When you press the image inworld, classical music will be played.

If you like to view my photography and the complete build inworld → visit this location from 17th - 24th June.

In-game photography

The reason I started uploading real life photography to a Virtual World is because I saw the benefits of the 3D environment. It gives me the freedom to "exercise" how I could present my photography in real life. Not to mention it is a lot cheaper than real life materials.

Although I'm not a serious 'In-game photographer'.
I do use this media often.

This is my In-game shot for the Place Pages and the Destination Guide.

Also I've been playing about with the game viewer options: Another perspective in the Virtual World

In-game photography seem super popular. So I thought (for those who are interested) to post a few links of some real life artists who have worked with Virtual photography.

The top floor has Urban landscape photography by Bay City residents with landmarks to the locations. You're welcome to rez a vehicle to explore the city.

Instructions
Lower draw distance and take time to load before entering the gallery.

LX at Freestate - Virtual Floriade

A preview in my workshop For the marina docks: I created a black bordered plywood texture on mesh prims and used objects as; pallets, breakwater tetrapods. simple light bulbs on wooden planks with electrical cords sticking out, cardboard box carts and a forklift. FreeState is a starting point for the Virtual Floriade project that runs from (now) 2017 to 2022 in RL Almere - Holland.
