Hello all! i am so excited to be in Sansar and am LOVING it so far. I am still working on my experience but was hoping someone with a VR setup would visit to let me know if it works for VR. It will be a while before i will be able to afford my own VR rig so meanwhile i must rely on the kindness of others :).

You can access the houses by just walking thru the doors. I didn't put any collision pieces on them. I kept the houses to more human scale than i would in SL or opensim because of an article i read here on the forum that said that is better for VR.

I would also love to know if the sounds are too loud. I tried to keep them in the background but not sure a VR headset works the same as a regular headset.

I hope you all can visit, i am enjoying bouncing around others experiences!

  Very well done.

  I really like what you did with the windows there!

  Great use of textures in the whole area.

  Only thing I would say could use a little work is the path could maybe be better with a texture that would less show the seaming in it. But that's really a minor issue in contrast to the whole place.

  10 out of 10

  Just checked it in VR. It's a very nice place. the sound is good.

  
  You did some sneaky trick with the windows if your inside and try to look outside.  It's a very weird distorted effect when you move your head a little bit :) Like you look true some fine wire maze.

  Thanks @Jenn and Ricardus! @Ricardus Raymsker That effect with the inside of the windows is visible in desktop as well. Not sure why it does that. I am using a texture that looks streaky dirty. Sort of a grunge thing. I'll have to try another texture to see if it corrects that. Thanks so much for checking it out!

  you can cam in and see the lovely issue with occlusion I am having. I JUST read your post about the material issues causing the occlusion problems and am hoping to figure out how to wipe my blender model clean of them all and start over in the hopes my floor and ceiling stop disappearing. so for now to PROTECT you all, I locked the doors! :P

   

  besides it is a beautiful day out!

  Is it safe as long as we do not go into the house?

  That is awesome!!! I am honored!

  it is very safe other than the one house....and the crocodile pit.....but you need special credentials for that area :)

   

  p.s. if any of the "sounds" are annoying let me know and I will turn them down tonight when I get home from work!

  Beautiful experience.

  Consider adding my free door script to a dynamic door object.

  beverly, your place gives me warm fuzzy memories of strolling in the woods. Nice landscaping.

  When I visited, the nature sounds were pretty subtle. The water sounds were louder, which does make sense with a rushing stream.

  Cool that you set your surface audio materials too, thank you!

  (I know some of them are kind of loud like "grass", hopefully soon we route these sounds differently, so I'll have better control over making them more naturalistic and even.)

  Thank you Torley. The landscaping is a nod to my youth in the mountains of Colorado with aspens, pines and wild grasses and flowers. And of course we had our share of streams and creeks which we dearly loved to play in. I will be adding flora around the pond and creek soon i hope!

  Someone erected a sign over night.....the message is odd.....

  "Please refrain from typing X, F or A

  For your Safety!

  Such a blight in that once proud neighborhood. Oh, well. Let's bulldoze it and put up a casino.

  Kidding aside, it was a fun meeting spot.

  So i got the occlusion issue pretty well fixed...you won't fall through the floor anymore, so as you can see i am starting to move in. There is still a bit of occlusion when you cam left to right near the windows. For now i give up on that problem. Still need to unpack all those boxes!
