Web Page on a Prim! Mplex system modelling in Second Life. I have known Turner Boehm in RL for a long while, so I was more than happy to see he enter Second Life with eightbar. He was straight in modelling and scripting as I would have expected. We had the dematerializing tardis a little while back, but now he has got serious as I indicated he would, not that Dr Who does not count as serious! Anyway, he has built an modeller in Second Life that, driven by external complex system information ,produces a self organizing atomic looking structure showing how (as in this case) multiple software systems could be interconnected. In full mode the model is able to be manipulated in realtime. 3DCity. ModelingSkills.

The contractors had been granted an extra 12 hours to complete the job, although the Barrisol stretch ceiling to cover the overhead bands of fluorescent light had not appeared and the coffee had yet to be tested. Outside, however, the chaos had been neatly sealed off and branded with a floor-to-ceiling window graphic and the reassuring words “Alessi by Asymptote.” Seventeen years into their partnership, Asymptote’s founders Lise Anne Couture and Hani Rashid have achieved enough rank for their firm’s name to be writ large on Soho walls.
