I take a pencil and paper at the start. Yeah, seriously. I know, there is a 2014:) But it still looks like most efficient way how to rez my ideas from my mind Inventory.

Oh, wait, something very important is missing!

I have got a big pile of papers on my desk, some sketches are lost somewhere down there, some of them are new and still in my mind…

There is a sweet springtime here, so the day two starts with a short walk and a camera in my hand.

That is how my neighbourhood in spring looks like… Best time for freshly minted photos of blossom cherries.

I pick up the most thick and pink trees and focus on close-up shots.

Several hours later first trees are born in my home local grid. Grass and trunk textures are good, but the blossoms…
Ugly, isn’t it?
Right time for pure digital art. Sometimes trees are most “photorealistic” when they are made digitally:)

Better now, but I need more plausible colors. Spring soft gently colors for sensitive ladies:)

And vivid red for lovers. Yeah, I admit, I watch Intelligence series:)

My work place could look messy, but it is organized creative universe!

Usually I complete the landscapes at my local OpenSim grid and distribute it by OAR file to other grids, but this time I will try to complete it in Kitely. I expect it will be a lot of work to make all the variations, and in Kitely I can insert finished items straight away from Inventory to Kitely Market. Moreover, I had no previous problem with backuping all the region at Kitely, so I can take it from there and import into my home local grid.

Floor with 6 colors of landscapes, every color in 12 variations. Cherry orchard in the sky:)

Sky floors for making snapshots of landscapes and solitaire trees.

Sample of landscapes at 21strom in Kitely region, everybody can walk through landscapes before purchase. Or just walk and enjoy it, region is open for everyone.

In few days I made 72 mesh landscapes and 18 mesh trees.
I also made 262 snapshots in virtual world and processed it into 167 pictures.
All the work, including 3D files, all graphic files and all snapshots have 3,40 GB on my harddisk.

Finally there are 7 products at Kitely Market, with plenty of variations, most of them exportable into hypergrid.
You can enjoy landscapes at 21strom in Kitely or at 21strom in Metropolis.

Once upon a time there was a city. There was once and there is not now. It seems to exists now, but it is not.
Virtual city of Bohemia.
It is not only the Place. Because every Place means the People.
People come and go, grow up, evolve, leave the town. Build another towns in another places and another worlds.
Memories remaining – pictures in our heads, the feelings, the snapshots… small pieces of reality, the good ones.
Memories of friends and enemies, people who built the city, love each other, hate each other. People who was born, who died. People who met and broke up, people who married, moved out and started family. Both there and here.

We can keep the old precious photos, we can even keep the old virtual places. Not only in memories. Personally. First-pixel-hand. Put ourselves in old virtual shoes.

That is why replica of Bohemia city was built. Imprint of the past in the environment of present times.
You cannot meet the same avatars and the people behind them, cannot hear the same sound and cannot see the same pixels.
The missing part of perfect copy is in your head, in your memories. Or it is not:)

Bohemia Story is located at virtual world Kitely, region is now part of the university project. Search for Faculty of Education Palacky University region

Bohemia past

Bohemia city was a place in Second Life, built in 2007. There was a first community place for Czech and Slovak people, it was participating in Sister Cities project – newcomers friendly place with plenty of how-tos, educational and entertaining events in czech and slovak languages.
It was sold to another bunch of people in 2011 and rebuilt to different place.
I have been one of the creators of the original “old” Bohemia city.

What is there?

There is a replica of main square of Bohemia, inspired of several versions of central town square in years 2007-2010. This is not copy, legal nor illegal, of anything from Second Life.
For first-look it seems to be same, but it is only similar.
There are plenty of mesh object, so use mesh-capable Viewer. I made my photos in Singularity.
There are photogalleries with about 100 snapshots – history of building Bohemia in SL and living there, and the building my replica in OpenSim at 2013.
There are freebie items – 12 mesh trees from surrounding park, and mesh pub table and chair with basic Opensim sit animation.
Region has Vivox Voice enabled.
