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 ([email protected]) 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.
Oh, didn't know we could submit videos to the NW Tableau.
