Evocative new, Hobbiton-esque image from Sansar via Road to VR's Benjamin Lang, who got it while writing this extensive feature on Linden Lab's upcoming VR platform.
"It's called 'Village of Breeze', made by a Sansar user called Kayleigh Matzerath," Lang tells me. Unless I missed an earlier example, this could be the very first glimple of user-made content from Sansar. (Up until now, we've been looking at Sansar demos created or co-created by Linden Lab.) Anyway, quite impressive. Benjamin's take:
Built in @SansarOfficial, this is one of the most beautiful scenes I've seen in VR. Great style is a shortcut to immersion over photorealism pic.twitter.com/HqFcniwOV3

I dont see there anything that coukdn't be done on SL or Opensim, in fact surounding hills have quite better examples on SL and OS, but this is just a visual opinion

It looks like some of the same models used in the Mole Village in secondlife.

Actually, I strongly suspect the creator is Kayle (rather than Kayleigh) Matzerath, the very talented creator behind the beautiful Garden of Dreams and the Dreamscenes.
Breeze was indeed first created in Second Life; it was one of the beautiful regions at Fantasy Faire in 2016. You can see some lovely pictures of it here: https://www.flickr.com/search/?text=Breeze%20Fantasy%20Faire.

Nod to ser Widdershins that was what I was reminded of.
The mountains reminded me of unity via kenney (of OGA fame) too. Also a dood worthy for making low poly game stuff :) (will not post link ...)

Nice, but ... is it really something unique? No, it is not. I have seen many places as beautiful in SL only with things from 2 or 3 creators who sell things of nature. Nothing spectacular and unique. Sansar will not be able to supply (at least in the next 5 or 6 years) all the needs of the users that in SL are already satisfied, God ... SL is huge, is bigger than Walmart, JC Penny, Target, Home Deepo And Etc together, how much money do they have now in their inventories? Are they going to lose all that? It would be stupid, it's like being seconds away from rescuing the Princess in Mario and starting over. I am always buying cars, motorcycles, airplanes, boats, new clothes, hair, accessories, etc. I change clothes and accessories of my avatar daily, my wife same, quarterly we change our house, internal and external decoration, and as we there are many users. Who wants to lose everything and start with nothing? Just to see landscapes that in SL already exist? Illogical.
