New World Tableau: Raul Crimson's Private Galaxy

Raul_crimson_video

Raul keeps a little solar system in his backyard, and it's where he goes to find his center and clear his head.  "I built that on my home in SL and is not open to the public," he explains. "I use it as a space to relax and meditate."  He did make this gorgeous machinima post card with an informal assist from David Bowie and a nod to Stanley Kubrick.  And while his particular star system is an exclusive one, you can buy one of your own: "The 'Solar System' itself is built by Gregory Engebretsen, he sells it (I found it in OnRez). The astronaut outfit is a freebie by Nicky Ree (you can find it at her store in Deco sim)."  To make the planets orbit, says Raul, "Gregory uses a rotation texture script in each planet, the planets and the sun are linked, so he uses an object rotation script for all together. Also he is using some particle effects for the sun and for a couple of comets."

Submitting to New World Tableau:

New World Tableau is an ongoing album featuring Residents who've turned SL screenshots into a new art form, vividly conveying emotions, stories, and entire cultures in a single image.

- If you come across a picture or image stream that deserves a place here, please IM (Hamlet Au) or e-mail (hamlet@secondlife.com) me the link.   Please e-mail me the image as a file link, or attached as an .jpeg or .gif, as long as it's under a meg in size
- Submitting as an in-world texture not recommended, as they often come out distorted and not high res.
- Feel free to describe what the image says to you, or if you're the creator, what inspired you to make it.
- Whenever possible, name the Residents pictured, and include a SLURL to the location (when appropriate.) 
- Moderately Photoshopped images are OK, just mention if this is the case, and what effects were added.  (On rare occasions when the post-production adds a special element, heavily Photoshopped images are also appropriate.)
- If you submit an image to NWT, it's assumed I have permission to run it, either as the owner, or because it's been appropriately CC licensed.  The original creator retains all their rights to it, in any case.
