187 - Desert domes

Where's Dim Sum? #187 - Desert domes


Dim Sum sits by the water, glad that the temperature has finally gone down, or she would have to jump into the water to cool off.... She would shudder at the thought, except cats are too cool to shudder about anything.


This one has an overlay texture on a HUD. (Many thanks to Angela Marie Henriette for the texture!) It looks like there's no more temporary upload in Firestorm, so I used media-on-a-prim instead (LSL script below), so I won't have to use Dim Sum's lonely 10L. :D

If you don't know how to create media-on-a-prim, go to the Contents tab of a prim and create a new script. Replace all the default lines in the script with the following code:
integer iFace = ALL_SIDES;  // replace "ALL_SIDES" with the prim's side number
string sURL = "http://wheresdimsum.blogspot.com/";  // replace this URL

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        integer iStatus = llSetPrimMediaParams( iFace, [
            PRIM_MEDIA_CONTROLS, PRIM_MEDIA_CONTROLS_MINI,
            PRIM_MEDIA_AUTO_PLAY, TRUE,
            PRIM_MEDIA_CURRENT_URL, sURL,
            PRIM_MEDIA_HOME_URL, sURL
            ] );
        llOwnerSay( "Status is " + (string) iStatus ); // this line is optional
    }
}

186 - Haggling with a seagull

Where's Dim Sum? #186 - Haggling with a seagull (2D)

Where's Dim Sum? #186 - Haggling with a seagull (X3D)


Dim Sum wonders why she's bothering to negotiate with the seagull to get the basket of fish, when her BATNA is to eat the seagull.... Hmm.... Maybe because she's a nice cat.... Nah!


OMG, I'd forgotten how long stereo framing takes! This one took me all afternoon and all evening! But Shahrokh Dabiri asked me twice about doing stereo pairs again. But I can't do this too often!

370 - Eggs and bunnies and peeps (360°)

Dim Sum joins the peeps who wanna be bunnies. At least for Easter. For non-US folks, "peeps" are marshmallow candies shaped l...
