A lower prim count for the Canopy

Whew! Spent some time tonight reducing the number of prim count for my latest build, the Clarke Quay Canopy, took me around 5 hours to get it just right. I converted some of the structural members of the canopy into sculpties and dramatically reduced the prims in my build by 30%. Still trying to reduce some more, but Second Life's 10m X 10m X 10m cap on primitive size is indeed restricting me. Anyway, I used SculptCrafter to convert some of my primitives into sculpties. Check out 3DBuildEasy - the sim that gives free SculptCrafter demo sets for visitors to try sculpting with the product. It is quite powerful in my opinion, hoping to use it more often in my future builds.

Below is a photo I taken of the part sculpty version of the Clarke Quay Canopy, it looks almost like the original primy build:


Currently, the canopy has been reduced from a prim count of 124 to 86, which is a 30% reduction. The reduction is kinda impressive, but I do wish to hopefully cut more prims though.

Well, that's all for today. Of course, my main wish is for the canopies to be built in Temasek as part of its rejuvenation masterplan - still working on it!
