More adventure in building with sculpties

2nd FEATURE January 2009
Commercial, Sculpty BuildingAnother experiment using Brice Bonetto's Structure Sculpties.This building has a footprint of about 45x45x20m and was created with a commercial use in mind, retail, gallery, etc. The front has 4 entrances (2 front, 2 side) not including the 2 back door entrances that lead to the steps to the second floor. Each floor is around 10m tall and 10m wide. In the state in which you see in the photos, it is without doors, or lighting, or railing for the stairs. With railings on the stairs it would be around 600 prims in total. The structure is around 80% sculpties, the rest being windows, floors and roof, with panels for solid walls.More to come soon :D Each of these has taken the good part of a day, this particular building has taken around 4 hours to create.

FEATURE - Bonetto House - An adventure in sculpty use in architecture.




A residential space made from Brice Bonetto's structure sculpties.
These sculpties made it really easy to create something different while saving on the prim count too! I was excited when Brice Bonetto offered to provide the sculpties in exchange for some publicity shots featuring this sculpties.
This house is less than 400 prims and includes:
  • lighting
  • textures
  • kitchen
  • doors
The windows are linked separately ready for a window script for privacy. The build was completed in about 5 hours total. Not only is there interior lighting but also some nice exterior lights as well. The building is comprised of two floors and each roof has a moon-window. There is some use of megaprims here to further cut on the prim-count, there is also a non-megaprim version available.
