Reading Radar

When winter falls, the critters of the land have to go into survival mode. And that’s pretty easy for some, since there’s now a big ginger bread looking thing on podcast island.

This guy looks a little annoyed though… Maybe his paws are cold… something’s got him howling. Maybe he’s worried that Linden Lab will come after his skin next… you know how anyone who has a realistic animal avatar is… surely they’re up to some kind of sick beast play. There’s no way it could be fun being a wolf or anything. After all, if you don’t want to be a normal looking human in a world where you can be anything, something HAS to be wrong with you.

Oh, well… it’s fun anyway.

Last year I used a lot of prims to cover Podcast Island with ice. This year, I pulled out 4 megaprims and slammed ‘em down. Done. And I actually could have done it with one, probably, but I couldn’t find the 256 x 256 which I have stashed somewhere, and I didn’t feel like unboxing more megaprims.

Ok, so I actually wound up using 6 as I was getting an error about not being allowed to reposition near the east side of the sim, so I used a couple of narrower prims, but, oh well. It’s still nice and icy.

Thanks to Crap Mariner for linking to the sculpted icicles by Dirk Talamasca (seen below). I’ll have to get more of those put out soon. For now, the bridge is probably best navigated at the center and not the edge, unless you really feel like hitting the ice below. Of course, it won’t matter - you’re an AVATAR! Jump ‘em if you got ‘em.

I don’t have any sculpty snowbanks or anything, but maybe Chug or Stuart does.

UPDATE: Turns out Dirk Talamasca makes sculpty snowbanks too.

And Random Person has a pretty cool sculpty snowman kit.

UPDATE UPDATE: And then there was one. One prim that is. Covering the island. Ice. You know. Instead of the previous six.
