On the island of Dreamshire I drive classic car & take my driving test. Also I produce my 1st movie. How did this happen?
Babilonto, a friend of mine, has built an oldtimer. The model is called Karina. He parks the prototype in front of my cinema branch BIRDOLUMOJ on Auroro with the request to just try it out.

Now vehicles in Second Life are new territory for me. But after my first driving lesson I am so delighted that he immediately adds it to his shop range. So Karina gets available on the marketplace in different colors, also along with a rezzbox.
Karina ✿ a fancy classic car!
Already some weeks ago Nimoui & Lily Chenier announced in their landgroup that their island Dreamshire will celebrate its Fourth Anniversary in September 2020.
Happy Birthday ✿ Dreamshire!
Instantly I thought that Karina would be a wonderful match for this lovely island! So I gave the vehicle to Nimoui & Lily as a gift, along with the rezzbox. They tried out the vehicle on their island. And they were so enthusiastic that they installed the rezzbox even twice on their estate.
Visitors can now borrow a vehicle & drive around with it: here on Dreamshire Island (ground level) & here in Dreamshire City (sky level). Take your loved one by the hand & on a romantic classic car ride!

When you touch the rezzbox, a menu appears in the viewer. You can choose of 3 colors: red – blue – black. (Black is actually precious wood.) Then the vehicle appears from nowhere. Its wheels are not simply made of rotating textures, but of real spokes. Chassis & body are a feast for the eyes!
When you now touch the vehicle, its doors open. In the rear there is space for driver & one passenger. When you take seat inside, a funny horn sounds & the engine starts. Close the doors & drive off: Just like old times! Direction & speed are controlled with the arrow keys on the keyboard. Even myself can do!
But this is now also my first attempt to shoot a movie in Second Life. Concerning my movie's quality I ask you for your indulgence:
Nimoui points out that visitors can sink the red bollards. One of them I show on last picture: Just touch! It sinks into the ground with a rich sound & gives way for car. From the dead end you'll then have to come back somehow.
It takes a few moments before Karina disintegrates. So if you get out by mistake, you still have time to get back in. Her fuel is theoretically enough until next restart of the simulation – if you don't fall asleep before ...

| Sink bollard & pass through: Dead end to be managed somehow! |
I once visited The old cars museum in Moscow, and i must say thet since 1920 the humanity lost the art of building cars (and some other things too)
ReplyDeleteSadly, I must somehow agree with you, Mike. Although we live in dfferent countries. - In former times, I could see how a worker has worked on the article I buy. In some cases, I could even feel his lifeblood. Today, products are put together & sold in the largest possible quantities to make them economically viable. As a result, the individual product loses all charm, it is nothing but useful for me. It is also no longer fun to buy & own anything.
DeleteI have visited Dreamshire and even drove a car (it was easier than i could imagine) Beautiful place! Thank you, Flora P
DeleteI think we almost met.
