Hi!! I was wondering if anyone knows of a place where I can get a background screen of a nightime city skyline...like ummm...NY, or Chicago for example (at night, of course)....I have a gorgeous skybox and want to add some scenery! :-) Thanks!!

For L$10 you can upload a pic that you have or find on the web and just slap it on a prim. Stick it a little outside your windows and your done.

I don't know if copyright laws apply if u take one from the web, since you aren't looking to profit from it. If they do apply then of course, I would never recommend that you do that. :p

Thanks, FD Spark! I appreciate the offer - I'm going to try what Bradley suggested , but if it doesn't work, I'll post back here and ask for your help.

Thanks again!

Lol, Bradley, - no, I'm not looking for profiting...just for my own private use! (But I know what you're saying LOL!)

I've got five free 'window city skyline textures' in my inventory (one at night the others dusk..quite nice actually), I'm assuming as they're marked as free I should be able to send you a copy...if I only knew how!

Maybe someone could advise me on how I send a file/object/texture to someone inworld..thanks.

Then I'll send you a copy of the files.

Perre..:)

Hi Llena,

I was going to send you a link to a gorgeous Chicago skyline I found but you need to turn it on to receive Private Messages. Go to Quicklinks above.

FD - thanks so much for the beautiful pics (I might just play around with it as a backup)! A very nice lady named Abba made me a rezz-faux box of a goregous San Diego skyline at sunset - free of charge!

Sorry Perre, but I didn't receive any pics when I logged into SL today - I'll check my inventory - I might have missed it....??

Bradley - I changed the PM options in Quicklinks - thanks for pointing it out.

Thanks everyone for all the help - you're all very generous!!

Thanks for inspiration.
Monday I think I may hand draw in more detail different city scapes just as fun challenge.
The only thing I need to figure out is how to make night lights look realistic.
I also love making virtual city drawings
