Click here to visit a new experience in Second Life: Rieri, a Japanese town painstakingly modeled from Google Maps and real photos of Tokyo neighborhoods. As regular readers will have guessed, this project is from Eripom Moonwall, SL's master creator of realistic cityscapes and military hardware. She and her team wanted to a post-industrial Japanese city that still evoked nostalgia. "We had much curiosity about what makes nostalgic scene," she tells me, "and found some keywords like 'riverbed', 'bended road', 'ridge' and 'small buildings' etc."
Since they're based in Tokyo, those keywords took them in specific places around the Tokyo megapolis, until they wound up at the Arakawa Lock Gate and town around it. The visit and the place, a vision of modern Japan from decades ago, made them feel that kind of nostalgia they were looking for. "We took tons of photos," Eripom says, laughing.
After the break, compare some photos Eripom and her team took in Japan in real life side-by-side with what they created based on them in Second Life:
