First, let me apologize about posting here, because this isn't really a question -- or is it? :) But I like the people that visit this sub-forum 'Resident Answers', and the other forums didn't quite match the topic, unless I'm mistaken.

---

Looking to join a mature group. By mature, I mean manners/ethics. Everywhere I go to meet people, I meet kids. It's surprising to see how many 18 year olds in SL act like 12 year olds.

Who: Dekker Boa, designer
What: Building, Business
Where: Alberta, Canada
When: Born March 23, 2007
Why: Bigger team. More man power.

I'm actually a 3D CGI designer in real life, so I caught onto SL's building tools very quickly. I have experience in low-poly design, so this is perfect. I plan to make items, start with clothing.

So far, I've made 2 rings that are close to the rings I have in RL and have successfully attached them to my fingers with almost perfect alignment. I made my watch last night until the SL simulator shutdown.

I have money, but would like to make money off my sales first before I spend more money. However I can be budged to put some money done, depending on what's laid out on the table. I feel I can make some sales though with my objects.

I'm still reading documentation. I used to be a helper for years in a chat room -- and I know how intense it can be -- newbies everywhere. I realize this, therefore I try not to bother anyone with questions. I plan to read as much documentation I can find before I bother you with questions, and if I have a question -- it's probably going to be something like "where can I find the documentation to learn this?" :)

Not sure what else to say, or if this is possible.

Why I posted this on the forums? I like to get in touch with people that are savy enough to know forums, and use them, rather newbies. :)

Are you looking for a specific type of building group? I notice you mentioned jewelry--do you want to work with tiny prims? Or are you more interested in larger building projects (such as sim development)?

I'm interested in both. I could help build the sim for the group in addition to building my portion (building). My main goal is to setup a building to sell products I've created, signed by my business name. I'd like to some how startup in a well-maintained group/sim for free, and once I start making sales I won't by shy to spend money on stuff that needs payment.

I plan to make quality objects that sell for cheap prices, which will my tactic for good sales.

I know this is asking a lot -- a newbie asking to be in an elite group, however I'd like to offer in exchange my skills in 3D designing, and web development, as I am a 3D cgi designer in RL, and do web development for a living.

I'm not sure how everything works yet, with groups. I could make a website for the group? Or make a website for our products in general? Not sure.

What are your thoughts on this? Be honest. Am I asking too much? :)

I have a private group we basically are unorganized group of friends who are exploring creating new things and community.
I have no clue really what direction we are going at this point.
At this point I must confess its been hard to get enough of us to agree which direction and what we want to do collectively.
Most of us are very new but all of us have special gifts and talents, but I don't really know how to create or build united front so we have been doing different projects.
One member donated a beautiful stage house that they built, another is building a beautiful modern sky complex shaped building.
I have 11276m2 court yard level building area and 1024m2 roadside lot in Bluehound
I am trying to develope.
We want to do something bit unique.
The courtyard area has stage house and I am trying to prepare gardens area for one of members classical music events.
I am always looking for new friends and team partners.
There no money in it but if you want a place for specific thing the rule is I will provide this for free for exchange of assistance to projects, donations. We also have sister group that allows indivuals to have vending spaces free but it hasn't turned out very profitable due to traffic and other related issues.
It hasn't really been yet about getting Lindens but more about friendships, creating and supporting each other.
If you're interested look me up.
