"I used to do group work. But the fact that we can do it live, we can build something right there when we speak about it. That’s interesting"
“We found a good way to split work. You and I were designing the head speakers, communicating with IM. I think the split came naturally. I wasn’t really good at design. For me it’s hard to find the perspective, or put things in the same heights …”
"I just tried to make up a form. If I could stretch to this side and that side maybe I could get the lipstick form. Because we were searching for lipstick form, we couldn’t find it. So we had to stretch the form we already had. All possible ways.�
“Mine was the goddess of night, so I thought it would be a good idea to have a moon above your head. And all the cold colors. Blue, black. The white skin. Because I though if I create her own life story: she has never seen the sun from her early childhood. So I thought her skin should be white."
"I had real problems. I thought it was complicated in the beginning. You think about one form, how to create it. But actually you can build it easier with two forms, attaching them each other. That was something I didn’t use in the beginning."
“Since the first day I started writing it down. Took a piece of paper, write down x,y,z details. And then started copy/pasting. They really look on one line and when you look at them from perspective... Then I started copy/pasting numbers, and then (buff!)..�
“If I would continue design, I’d look into the scripts because I prefer when it’s moving. It’s more lively and better. It doesn’t seem to be just in 2D. It seems to me more lively and attractive.”
“I liked the program (Second life) but I didn’t like the design. Because I already used 3D studio MAX. I think maybe at first the software is more complicated but then you can do more things and it becomes more easy than SL..It was complicated to design things in SL"
“70‐80% is useless, but sometimes you can use them in another way. I found the particles, and the butterflies were from the particle box. Also the fireworks we used in the radio. Some of the pictures were from a hippie stuff box in SL (two of them). You realize you can use scripts from other objects, if you put your fireworks in the sandbox, you can extract the script.”
"We can’t share the building. When she builds something i can’t have it in my account. It was a really big problem. so in the end we decided it’s a bad idea... In the end we designed 3 objects, and 3 objects were different."
