Fun with prim math - What would YOU do if you had 45,000 prims at your disposal?

While many of us are agonizing over how to cope with Second Life®'s upcoming 750 prim limitations for the same Openspace sims that were sold to us with 3,750 prim allocations, I can't help wondering what you would do if you had FORTY FIVE THOUSAND prims to play with on your sim.

Consider, too, that each of those 45,000 prims is scaleable to 100m....

Indeed, you can purchase a single Openlife Grid region within a private cluster for $145 with $75 monthly tier.

And yes, your ankles will often sink into the grid, your avatar may bounce dizzingly, and even endless Ctrl Alt R's (rebake) won't save your often sorry bald self from a bad case of the greys. It's not a grid for the vain. Yet.

No charge for texture uploads, either. Yet. I imagine this will change when Openlife's new economy kicks in by the end of the year.

Many thanks to Osiris Indigo who sent in this photograph of a playful moment over at one of the more viable alternatives to Second Life, the Openlife. He reports that it was "rather easy and stable," to do.

Seriously, what would you do with 45,000 prims on your sim?

Oh, Chouchou!

In a few hours, Chouchou - the post-pop/alternative musical group that exists only in Second Life - will open their new sim to the public. There is no build to speak of there, and yet, it is a masterpiece. The setting is the seashore... a place so pristine that it has only been touched by the tides. Like the HUD that is offered there - take it and wear it instantly - the effect is cinematic, poetic, and not unlike the feeling one has upon returning to a beach after a great storm. The air is electric... and ethereal.


juliet Heberle and arabesque Choche at Chouchou

Being with juliet and arabesque is like being with spirits. Pale yet strong, they dramatize the scenery. juliet is slim, breakable and girlish. arabesque is in posession of himself and all that surrounds him. Their dynamic is so balanced it leaves me in awe. Ying and Yang. To seek further meaning would spoil it.




This week they will release two songs, in addition to the instrumental in the video I featured here yesterday. How to describe Rafflesia? It has the double vision of the Beatles' "She's leaving home," and elegant electronica. Heterotopia is music to drive by, to live by.

Oh, Chouchou, you are going to rise to the top so fast... like comets, you will. This is no hype.

When it is open, you may teleport to Chouchou directly from here.
