I've got to say that while it might not be the most difficult thing in the world it is fairly challenging (for me at least). Its also really time consuming and I've come to the conclusion that you can easily spend a lot of time messing with small and insignificant things.
As well as starting building I've taken some photo graphs (snapshots) of what I've been building. It's not too flash and I've since realized that there are better ways to do things. There are definitely things I'm going to be changing. Furthermore I think I need to have a better grasp of my journals so that what I'm designing is more informed by the journals.
So the photos:
My first prim! Complete with the standard plywood finish - lovely!! I was actually quite interested in looking at cantilevering systems. (A symptom of my last project [based on Icarus and Daedalus] I think)
Starting to build and combine prims
Basically how far I got working on this particular design
Attempting to show scale
So what's with this last one?? Looks a bit different and is really glowy. Was this intentional? No. Why has this occurred? Well I'm not entirely sure I thought that maybe it occurred due to a difference in the version of SecondLife i was running but after talking to one of the Tutors/CAS guys we came to the conclusion it was more likely a product of different operating system speeds - with home being REALLY slow and uni being significantly faster.
This image here definitely makes me want to start over with things more in relation to my actual journals.
Also I might post some other photos I took - very similar ones admittedly that I have crudely (with Microsoft paint) drawn on to illustrate what I was trying to do. Alternatively I may not as, as I have said, may be starting over.
