BURNING WORLDS
Watch the video here (Windows Media optimal)
As Burning Life 2006 eases to a close (the Man is set ablaze tomorrow) here's a trip through three worlds within worlds. The first is a visit to the dream oasis of Aster Lardner (<= direct portal), a small but lovely respite from the playa's creative chaos. From there we fly to the Bone Box of Jamma Newt (<= direct portal) a richly detailed and vibrantly textured microcosm of life growing within the skeletal husk of a vast, unknown creature. Rising up from that, we end our tour at The Skybox of Stephane Zugzwang (<= direct portal), where visits to dozens of locales throughout the known world are accessible at a button's touch. As befits Burning Life, we take Mr. Zugzwang's offer to visually transport ourselves into the place where it all began-- in the Nevada Black Rock desert, at Burning Man itself. (Lower-res YouTube version here.)
Music, as ever and again, provided by Torley, a track from his 230 track library which has become, in effect, the soundtrack of Second Life-- the cut heard here being "In Surreality".
Geez, Hammy! I'm always jealous of your video quality. And those texture downloads were lightning fast!
I couldn't even enjoy Burning Life this year. My build was more of a token than anything else. My original goal made unfeasable by some subtle and surprising changes to the SL interface, and my IRL life getting in the way once again.
I'm glad you posted the video of this. All I can see is endless choppiness and fields of half-rezzed objects.

Thanks! Fortunately I shot the vidjo before the *wonderful* updates.

Do you want the Red Pill?
