VR Tools for Second Life Projects!

MOTORABILITY ISLAND—Saturday marked the grand opening of Motorability Island, a group of seven sims devoted to car culture where all proceeds go to United Spinal, a not for profit organization that helps those with spinal chord injuries. The group of sims, donated by Pontiac, used to be known as Motorati Island. Motorability Island kicked off its grand opening events, Fashions Cars and Avatars, with a fashion show, featuring the spring lines of designers Callie Cline and Kiana Dulce. The well attended fashion show was followed up by a day filled with SLascar racing events and a dance held at the island’s nightclub, Parkade, located on the Accessibility sim.

CHOUCHOU - White sands and clear water. A lonely tree and a piano. Some debris, and a ladder that climbs endlessly into the sky. That’s what the new sim made by the Second Life music group Chouchou is about. It’s not much, but the simple beauty of the place has attracted an amazing number of visitors since it opened last week.

“We’re glad that so many people like our sim, and surprised,” Juliet Heberle said. She’s the singer of Chouchou, and the conveyer of the idea for the new sim. “I love the region the way it is now. Very simple and nostalgic, but I thought people would like something more built, more complicated. But we can’t add anything to this landscape. It’s completed. This is it for us.”

Part of the allure of the Chouchou sim is the piano music created especially for the sim that’s being played by Arabesque Choche, the other half of the duo, It's a piece called “Repose”.
