Personal Projects in SL.

From time to time, I like to make little projects within Second Life, to slowly hone my scripting skills or understand how the world works. Here be two of them :

Serendipity Travel Sphere - ( A bit like Dr. Who's TARDIS - if it was round and went bang!)



The idea behind this Vehicle, was a fun way to navigate the Metaverse. Once activated "Serendipity", randomly projects itself around the World, like a crazy firecraker..

Able to carry 4 people, the sphere can leap a SIM in a single bound, taking you or a group to destinations that you may of never considered visiting before. ( perfect for a sunday day out in the Continents! )

CloudMapper Version 1.0 - ( A Meteorogical Sculpture )



Taking the cloud density across a SIM, this data is visually translated into a 8 x 8 grid, and updated every second. The denser the cloud, the taller the blocks.

Clouds are based on Cellular Automata; With the Mapper, the dynamic nature of the weather that goes on in the SIM, can be seen to unfold in front of you.

Love the cloud meter ! Can you make one which sets transparency as the cloud's density ?
