Index of Major Client Projects Here you will find information on work that we have done on various full-sim and larger client projects. This page indexes the projects, and gives general information on them. Each project will have links to a photo gallery with more details.

RUCE 1, RUCE 2, RUCE 3 and RUCE 4 Work started 10/2007, and was completed in 1/2009, with some ongoing support since then. The 4-sim area is in active use today and open to the public. Further expansion is planned. RUCE 1 : A full SL Orientation Sim, with a custom-built progress tracking HUD system. RUCE 2 : A detailed re-creation of the founding "Old Queens" Campus, in New Brunswick, NJ. This sim includes replicas of 5 buildings on the national Register of Historic Places. Pictures can not do this justice. You really need to visit and explore the buildings to see the details. RUCE 3 : A full-sized yet low-prim replica of their football field, which acts as a sandbox and competition area. RUCE 4 : A detailed replica of the Rutgers Student Center, as well as classroom space and "dorm buildings" that students can use for setting their home points to.
HHP at UH Work started 8/2007, and was completed in 1/2008. The sim is in active use today and open to the public. This project was a single full-prim sim for the University of Houston. Their requirements included low-prim academic buildings that could be used actively for teaching and lectures, with multimedia equipment in several sites in the sim. They wanted a campus that was beautiful as well as functional, with architecture remeniscent of Ivy League college campuses. Set in a landscaped park-like setting with water features and brick paths, one special feature is a re-creation of the domed Jefferson Auditorium (original building designed by President Thomas Jefferson, for the University of Virginia). Amarin Island Work started 4/2007, ongoing improvements untl the sims were removed in 6/2008. This project was initially a 5-sim residential island, entirely non-commercial. The client was renting one full-prim sim and 4 low-prim "Openspaces" sims, which I terraformed into a single, seamless large island that used all 5 sims. Later an additional low-prim sim was added. Unfortunately, none of these sims exist any more. The client vanished from Second Life, and is presumed to have died in Real Life. Amarin Xi - Top left on map.

Neither sim exists now on the grid. This project was two full-prim sims, to be developed as residential commercial rental properties, modeled after resort islands in or near French Polynesia, Tahiti, and similar places. Nohona featured a large volcanic mountain with a lake in the caldera that could be used for swimming. A waterfall from the caldera lake to the lagoon concealed the entrance to a large set of caves, with 4 levels to explore. Wailele featured a water park with a swimming pool and water slides, surfing, and a shipwreck in the lagoon that could be explored. The area was beautiful, but the islands never achieved sufficent publicity / occupancy to remain financially viable. |
