IDAT204 - SL Proposed Idea

For our proposed idea we are going to be using the idea of creating an event based around “Christmas”. The usual idea of Christmas is to have a gathering of people in the same room socialising and opening presents, maybe have a few mince pies on the side.

With this event we will need a few things linked to our account on Second Life. These include things such as a plot of land, a log cabin, and various other objects to decorate our scene; to create the Christmassy feel. Within these objects not only will we require physical objects to place around, textures will be required for these objects, and even to texture the ground we are standing on.
Objects can be created for free, providing you already have the textures to apply to the model. On Second Life there are plenty of free textures and objects available, but not every object we will need will be easy to find. A few objects we could design ourselves are:

• Christmas Tree
• Baubles
• Tinsel
• Generic Decorations
• Fireplace
• Mince Pies
• Reindeer
• Presents (containing items)
• Angel
• Wine Glasses
• Christmas Dinner

From walking around Second Life we have come across several free textures to use on our objects. Spread over our accounts we have textures such as snow, wood, tiles, fur and various other miscellaneous textures.
