LPDT2 @ the New Genres Grid

Whitenoise avatars at LPDT2

LPDT2 windlight 02
We create our own sky preset; a spin off from Second Life’s “Fine Day”, however with enhanced contrast and lessened saturation.
LPDT2 windlight 01
Testing windlight presets. Here the architecture is shown with Mescaline Tammas’ “Rot” preset.
Togs for bots... ;-)
Custom avatars were created for the scripted agents of LPDT2. There are 7 full avatars, of both sexes. 2 of these will be given as gifts to SL visitors at the entrance point of the installation.
Work in progress
