WOW.. and I live right near chinatown!!! Only thing that's missing is the prostitutes >.>

Seriously though, that looks beautiful, and I can't wait to get back to SL and see it for myself. I may never leave!

The reflection trick always works wonders. I've used it before myself, but it is very high on prim costs. And it can be completely ruined by the @#$@#$# DAMN ALPHA SORT BUG THAT
S BEEN IN SL SINCE FRICKIN DAY ONE!!!

*ahem* Excuse me. Don't know where that came from. I feel better now.

(But I'm still not happy with alpha sorting...)

GREAT WORK on that build!

Bah! You talented people! They're already making reflections?! I just figured out how to make shadows under my fan. I will catch up to you one day!

I can't wait to see it!

Does this mean we'll be having mirrors any time soon?

With reflections, every avatar must be a vampire. Reflect on that.

Torley sushi shop? Coolness ... I'd like some unagi please

Though sushi is more japanese as compared to chinese ...

February, is great ... and just in time for the lunar new year. It will be the year of the rooster this year

And the sign of the Rooster indicates a person who is hard-working and definite about their decisions. Roosters are not afraid to speak their minds and can therefore sometimes come across as boastful. They make good restaurant owners and world travellers.

i would never eat at a restaurant run by a rooster. i don't even eat at barbecue places that have a pig in an apron on their sign.

Please ignore the icky scoreboard in the background that we have yet to replace with the Pretty Version.

It'll be fixed soon.

Re: Vampire Reflection, no worries. When you run around dodging bullets with two seburo's and a flame bringer, the last thing you'll have on your mind is "where the heck is my reflection?"

I stand in abject wonder of what people are capable of here in SL. Now...when are we going to be able to type in Chinese characters!?!?!?

All it needs now is Lo Pan.

Hee hee... sorry, couldn't resist. I just saw BTiLC on the Action channel yesterday.

Ahhhh the rain....

01-31-2005 06:21

China Town is breathtaking. I had the pleasure of a tour with the awesome Foxy and I was astounded. Soooo impressed by the rain and of course that massive gun perched on my shoulder.

Jimmy is brilliant. Foxy is wonderfully clever and savvy and the Bedazzle team continues to amaze me. I can't wait to go back.

Wow! Now that is truly impressive.

I assume that the reflections are created with semitransparent ground and inverted objects under the road? But what about the rain. Wow.
