A Grungy Motel Skybox for Second Life
It seems fitting that since this was my very first creation in skyboxes, that this should be my very first entry 🙂
This motel room is actually true to life. It’s one that I’ve seen before in my first life and was never able to erase it from my mind. As a Role Player in Second Life, I would wish someone would be kind enough to make a tiny little get away like this one. There were some out there, but non that fit what it was that I was looking for. So I created this and decided to share with the rest of the community. I got a lot of positive feedback regarding it and decided to keep going with ideas.
When I first started SL, I was more interested in contemporary furnishings. However, during my RPing years, grunge started influencing my taste more and more. I loved the filth and how dark and grungy everything appeared. It now influences a lot of my current creations with DIRTY BOXES.
In this skybox, the floors are stained, the walls damaged, and the furniture a little run-down. It’s crappy in a chic way with it’s bordered up windows, broken television and nasty bath that’s attached. A resident in world by the name of Jackson Sharple contacted me with the following comment:
“It’s perfect. The ideal amount of sleaze I was going for. Heh. The low amount of prims allows me to put in my own poses, as well. Just wanted to say thank you for a job well done.”
The lighting is scripted with color variations and there are male/female/couple animations in the furniture. Visit DIRTY BOXES in world to view the entire skybox up close and personal 🙂
