There has been a lot of confusion lately about "cubes of death". To help clarify, I made an average size "Cube of Death in the New Continent. It consists of 99 10m X 10m black sub-cubes, each one with physics turned on, and hollow with a dance floor and spinning lights inside. (You can't see the dance floors from the outside.) I'm perfecting the spin script so that it can keep all 99 sub-cubes in sync as the Cube of Death rotates. (This is difficult because of the 30m linked prim limit.) After I perfect the 99-sub-cube rotation script I will turn on the particle generators. Each of the 99 cubes will emit a different kind of particle. I expect the effect to be quite stunning.

I tried to approach neighbors to pose with my Cube of Death, but they all turned on their land privacy when they saw me coming and pretended that they couldn't hear me shouting at them. So I wandered into the next sim and found some passers-by, and told them the photo was for a calendar. They’re show-offs, and they were happy to ablige, so I could get photos with avatars in them. (I need avatars in the photos in order to show the scale of the cube. It’s just average size, as you can see in the photos.)

Special thanks to Paper Duck and Rita Groshomme for helping me with my project by posing for effect.

Now that is a proper Cube of Death!

i thought it might be an offspring of my Black Hexahedron and some other more regular object!
