For those of you on the watch for novel uses of Sculpties in projects, we just rolled out a large build in Areumdeuli:
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Areumdeuli/86/94/105
The project uses 450 sculpted prims for the topographical Earth layer, and 450 prims for the outer dynamic cloud layer.
Here's a flicker stream with some photos of the build:

I've attached one of those photos to this post.
No 3D modeler was used in creating this build, in fact as the FAQ at the build says: "A custom-written C++ program was used to process the raw source data and convert it to a format that could be imported into Second Life. An LSL helper script was used to generate the planet from the imported data."
You can find out more information from the notecard available in-world.
Enjoy!

Very cool, Zee. I can't help but object in principle to the employment of almost a million polygons into a globe, especially on the mainland, but still it's still cool.

Hey =D It's my land, I'm paying tier for it, and my neighbors have no complaints. It's only 900 prims. People use that many on hair for crying out loud... Oh but on second reading, I get it. I misread your post. You objected to the polygons. Well <shrug> such is life. Atleast it's something tasteful with an educational use and not just another textured and articulated sex organ  |

From: DanielFox Abernathy Very cool, Zee. Just glad i'm not your neighbor Any shots of it without the cloud layer? Actually my neighbor's all think it's awesome .... of course that's the neighbors who actually are ever online. I can't speak for the people who have a 512 and haven't logged back on since October of 2006... and sadly there are a few of them  But that's a whole other conversation. As for shots without the cloud layer? Probably not at this time, unless we deployed a second one without the cloud layer built. Zee |
