THE IM in SL set

[Click on any photo to enlarge.]

The IM set takes shape. I used the idea of the original RL staging, and created the four levels, with SL being the musician only area. The center, SR, and DS areas were all for me to navigate. The rear upright served as a place for the projector screen.

I then placed furniture to resemble to RL set.

After playing with several colors and textures, I went with the walnut texture on full bright with the furniture also walnut, not full bright. This provided similarity, while still allowing thru furniture to stand out.

A major improvement occurred when I rotated the floor's wood grain by 45degrees; the diagonal angle made it more interesting and less ship-floor-plank-like.

 

This is the nearly final set. Thaylon returned from italy with many photos of the Virgin Mary, and I replaced the one UL at the last minute.

I also added more poseballs so, in case of lag, I could easily go from place on the stage to the next and be ready to resume my narrative once Thaylon finished a selection.
