Balamb Garden (from ff8) in secondlife

smurph

hey all, a thread on here showing a 3dmax build of balamb garden form final fantasy 8 and noticed there were a few people who were following it.
so thought id bring it to your attention that a build is underway in secondlife.

yes secondlife has bad press, but it has some interesting aspects and simple building tools that let you create whatever you like (within reason). with the bonus of getting a first person view of what its like to walk through your build, be a part of it rather than simply admiring it. and the results are not far from that of what you get in 3d programs, infact certain 3d programs can translate into SL and create objects inworld form that program via sculptys.

anyways im part of a team thats set about recreating balamb garden.
will post up pics when i get a chance for anyone who may be interested.
so far weve pretty much finished the main hall/dorms/classroom/parking/library/cafeteria...
ill get some screenies taken shortly, in the meantime if your allready in SL and want to join the team or see it when its done, feel free to im me (ikiru shinji)

cool story bro.

What he's trying to say, with all the delicacy of a traditional polycount welcome, is that you have little to nothing to show just yet. Unlike some other forums, traditionally we don't start any threads here without at least a pic or two to show for it. Before this thread spirals quickly or is ignored entirely--both very real possibilities--you should probably include some images.

It's basically the worst of the worst on the internet given an interactive 3D realm.
So it's like a virtual circle of hell.

I got banned for stealing someone's penis and dropping a jewplane that some weird guy gave me. Before that, my time was spent interrupting orgies, and weeping for the future of mankind.
Do yourself a favor and never go there, as hilarious and bad as it is.
Though, I look forward to your Garden.

A terrible, terrible place. They call it a "Metaverse" its basically Playstation home with fuckin', and oh the fucking they get up to, also furries. So imagine a Playstation home where users can make everything, except it's populated mostly by perverts and furries. It's only saving grace is how terribly fun it is to grief (You can make your own content to grief with).

There's actually some amazing builds in Secondlife but, much like the internet, the place is 80% porn. The only difference is that while I'm posting on polycount, I can't see my neighbor having cybersex.

Someone made, like $1,000,000 on there or something. Hate it mind.

Was your name in secondlife by any chance Ralph Pootawn?

HonkyPunch

No, I don't really recall, but i've seen that stuff, ahah. I played a few years back, so I don't really recall my character. My friend and I built a short bus that played the Black Eyed Peas song "Let's Get Retarded" and drove it everywhere. It also had a dick cannon.

Lmao... as much as this thread should get moved or closed... it's eff'ing hilarious to read.

Closing this thread, smurph, make a new one when you have some images to post, please.

And if anyone spams the next one with off-topic rants, their post will be deleted
