Session 24: Building and Editing

Reading: Tutorials

• Building (Anthony Curtis, UNC Pembroke)
• Uploading an image
• Editing a script
  

In-Class Activity: Flickr photo

1. Choose one of your publicly-available images from Flickr.
2. Download a copy of the image.
   Leave the Flickr image page open; you will need the URL.
3. In Second Life, create a large poster board - about 1.5 x 2.0 x 0.1 meters.
   It should be proportional to your image size (the same aspect ratio).
4. Upload your image to Second Life
5. Drag the image from your inventory onto the front of the board.
6. Copy the script from the sample poster to your board.
7. Edit the script with your image title andURL
8. Leave object edit mode, touch the poster, and accept its offer to view the Flickr page.
9. "Take" the object (it goes to your inventory).
10. Go to the floating gallery and replace one of the blank boards with your poster

In-Class Activity: Podcast soundtrack

1. In your plot in the sculpture garden, create a large block
2. Use one of your sculpture images as the texture.
   Again, the block's size will need to be proportional to that of the image.
3. Copy the script from the sample "sculpture" onto your block.
   (Prof. Clark will add the "soundtrack")
