Several new additions to the Canopy

Finally, after an afternoon of work, I completed a mock up of two conjoining Clarke Quay canopies. I built this mock up and replaced the existing standalone canopy, which is found at the Temasek Masterplan 2010 exhibition area, located in Temasek. I am pretty pleased with the result. I also installed some lamps on each of the canopy supporting structure, so as to have some artificial light at night.

Here are some snapshots of the conjoining canopies at Temasek:


This snapshot was taken right after I finished building it.


Another snap of the canopy at a different angle. The canopy is still quite prim-heavy, weighing in at 149 prims!


An overall view of the Clarke Quay canopy from above, covering almost the whole exhibition site.


A snapshot of the Temasek Masterplan 2010 exhibition at night, I managed to install the lamps before sundown!


Oh! We have a visitor to the exhibition site! This is Virat Leistone, a user from India that popped by Temasek to have a look around. We had some time chatting with one another.

I also tried to reduce prim-count by deploying some of my inworld sculpty tools, but only managed to reduce the prim-count from 283 prims to 229 prims. Some of the sculpts for the structural members on the roof canopy seem to get pretty warped, which looks very weird from far, so I decided to leave the roof section as primitives for now, until I find a better sculpty solution.

Special thanks to Chiling Leandros, Joy Laperriere and Shine Igaly for popping by Temasek during the last two days while I was building and experimenting with the canopy.
