Day 1216: Countdown to Grand Opening (8 days to go)

Progress report since yesterday:

Seventh Day
(The Mermaid Pool)

Did that say "8 days to go" up there? Eek! I cant believe I lost 2 days.

OK...gotta get some building done tonight. Let's see, whats on the list? Oh yeah, the mermaid pool. Heehee always wanted one of these in the store ;)

Let's make the pool a giant circle of water, with a little island in the middle, so we can sit around and show off our tails ;P



I can use a large box and hollow it out to make the edges. Dont you love being able to change the Hollow Shape now?

Except, the pool is too small. There's barely room for one mermaid in the middle :(

I need a bigger circle. I guess I can build it using the sim terrain. But how do I draw a big big circle?




Megaprims to the rescue ;P

And thanks, Peter, for suggesting http://megaprim.sl! It's so cool to be able to get a long list of megaprims like that :)

Now, I can rez a 20 x 20 box...







Change it to a Cylinder...













And pile a lot of sand around it :)













Quick peek under there to see how Im doing...













Then I push the cylinder into the water. With the cylinder selected for editing, it shows a nice yellow line around the border. I can use a little bulldozer to clean up the edges :)










Put some sculptie rocks around the sides, and we have a pool :)

OK, first one in a tail gets to lay around the island!
