I just wrote about how Second Life was inspired by both the Metaverse of Snow Crash<\/em> and Burning Man of orgiastic arts festival fame, and the SL20B exhibit<\/a> has a cool installation that demonstrates both: A giant butterfly and flower created in Second Life – that was then exported as a design and built in real life at Burning Man!<\/p>\n

“The butterfly and the flower were all built out of prims,” Jolhoeft explains, “and I would continue to model in-world with prims until I started building it out of wood.”<\/p>\n

Here’s more about his process, and some behind the scenes:<\/p>\n

\"SL20B\"<\/p>\n

“A lot of the initial work still took place in SL.. I used Firestorm to export the wings as mesh, and Blender to make a 2-D projection. That gave me a template I could print out and trace onto a sheet of plywood, which I then cut with a jig saw.<\/p>\n

“The wings I exported to Collada, then into Blender to make an orthographic projection, which I exported to SVG and printed out as templates to trace onto plywood, then cut out with a jig saw. Most of the other other parts I was able to just take measurements from the final SL design.”<\/p>\n

\"Metamorphosis<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

[Go here to visit it in Second Life this weekend<\/a>] before the SLB20 exhibit closes down. If you miss it there, however, good news: Jolhoeft’s planning to bring back to the Butterfly to Burning Man 2023.<\/p>\n
