Daggy Dog 2

Poor Theo has dags having off him. Wasn't sure what to do so I asked Brook next door (Tucker was a Maltese as well). I need to wash his bum in warm water to get rid of them. I'm thinking though that I might treat him and Bobby to a doggie wash service and pamper them both.

Second Life Sets

I've been working on some sets in second life while waiting on phone calls. This is an exterior set:

It was made by combing a "ready-made" with parts space station construction kit. However it was no good as an internal set because the asteroid (part of the ready-made and un-modifiable) would have cut through everything. The following is the internal set:

This extended the kit part of the external set, and created spaces within which to put props and characters for the shots. Most of the windows were semi transparent and because the main chamber is supposed to be in solid asteroid I created shapes surrounding it with granite textures to make it look like it was indeed in solid rock. The iris doors used to work but now only one does. On the day of shooting I'm remove and add those manually.

Asteroid bases are quite popular in the Second Life Marketplace. Most though are a tad expensive with prices in the $L thousands. I needed two bases and the other one - used by Tee D'Olby - is a ready made. Big investments either have to be really good or re-usable (or both)!
