hello, to all..I've been reading this thread with alot of interest.. I've been checking out 'second life' and personally, I just can't afford a site there right now. that's why I decided to build my own Virtual 3D Art Gallery (with James's help) so this way it won't cost anyone any money at all. but also, you've all touched my heart and I just want to let you all know that James and I have been in the process of building an AR Virtual 3D Art Gallery. We won't be able to replicate every single gallery to it's entirely but they will show a strong resemblance to several of the galleries posted in this thread. but first we'll need to focus on the initial foundation of the building and layout of the Galleries, which we've been doing, as said, then after we get that fairly well in order, we'll do our best to replicate each gallery as much as possible. We have the foundation started, we're starting out with one very large room that will have wall petitions that we'll be placing the art pieces on. we're hoping eventually that we can make the Gallery interactive, where the viewer can travel thru the Galleries at their own will, but for now it will be setup so that it will 'appear' as if someone (the viewer) is walking thru each room and up to each art piece.we' re in the process of installing doors and windows right now, and adding embellishments to the outside of the building. our plans are to start out featuring at least 3 or 4 of each artist's paintings (a wall each), , then asap, hopefully create a room for each artist, that will be decorated in a way to compliment each artist's art pieces. (if you have a preference of colors, let me know.) If any of you are interested in this concept, or would like for your art to be featured in this AR Gallery, then l'd need for you to send me 4 of what you consider to be your best paintings. Anyone interested in this project will receive their own personal copy of the main AR Gallery as soon as it's finished, (as well as a copy of their own personal Gallery if all goes well). and as I've mentioned earlier, this project won't cost anyone any money at all. if it's ok with you, Orianelima, I'll be copying your 'AR gallery' images from this thread and any other threads where they've been posted so that I'll have some references. Well, again, send me your 4 paintings if you're interested in this project, (you can send them to
[email protected]) and I'll talk to you all later.
