Waking up on SL

This is the scultie made from 3D max. It looks similar to a scale of some sort. Quite an interesting object to play around with i think.

This painting :Geopoliticus Child, by Salvador Dali was an influence to my project. A man emerging out of a world like egg, like being born again or in other words waking up. His waking doesn't seem pleasant(can be depicted by the dripping of blood) yet by violent pose he is showing I could imagine he wanted to be woken up, or that it was inevitable.

In addition to this influence I also see waking up as a one time thing, not a gradual process. Something like an explosion, and you are left with nothing: in other words 'emptying your cup'.

So after may attempts of trying to create a spherical shape, i managed to create this. A sphere constructed out of the sculptie I made. Then i scripted each individual prim to move outwards at the command of an avatar: thus leaving a open sensation. By putting the prims in the air, this allowed a more effective sensation of freedom.

As you can see here, i was playing around with the prims to see what kind of effects i can produce when placing them in orders or scripting them. In this case i made them into a shape of a box whilst each individual prim is rotating on its own.

When the avatar says the magic word all the prims scatter leaving the avatar in the center away from the enclosed space.

 

A better view of what might be seen in the avatars point of view.

 

And this is the teleport pad that allows one to get to the location. The script was kindly donated by a certain 

L V Tong.who was generous enough to teach me how to script it properly.
