Reflexive Architecture

I don’t really want to get into the habit of double-posting things here that I’ve already posted on the Virtual Artist Alliance newsblog… but I’m so excited about this recent development that I can’t contain myself!

You can see the above installation at the Gallery of Reflexive Architecture.

The best part about this Reflexive Architecture stuff? It’s open source! You’d better believe I’m gonna take full advantage of Keystone Bouchard and Fumon Kubo’s generosity to beautify my Second Life experience– I hope you guys will as well!

You can acquire three of the reflexive architecture scripts here. Remember everyone– the purpose of open-sourcing is to help improve upon a great creation to make it better for the whole, so don’t abuse the generosity!

Haiku Build Update

Alright… so after I had posted the entry from last night, I decided to further deprive myself of sleep and do some work with Dante and the girls on the Fall Festivals and what-not. I finally got my set of rules for the Haiku Build to Dante, and I’ll be posting them here so they can be easily referenced and reviewed.

To correct my last post, the Haiku Contest’s theme will not be fall festivals in general– specifically, it will be inspired by the Frog Festival. Even MORE specifically, it will be about Frogs. So prepare yourselves for some amphibious building madness!

And now, the rules:

• Building pads are claimed on a first-come, first-serve basis– be sure to show up as early as you can to claim a spot!

• No prefabricated builds are allowed– your build must be created from base prims from beginning to end.

• Three winners will be chosen at the end of the contest by the spectators of the build, via a majority vote. In the case of a tie, the host(s) will get together to decide the winning build. The winning sculptures will be judged based upon how well they exemplify the featured Haiku.
