My Not So New Project - Tall, Biomechanical, Photo-enhanced, Building

[tbpb2010]

This is a very crude 5 min sketch (in MS paint obviously) of a project i've been working on.


The idea behind this revolutionary building is that it's a tree capable of generating vast amounts of ener.....ah screw it.  i just felt like making this for no real reason other than that I like it!  
I've already started clearing out the area where I want to build it.  (I've actually been working on this for a few months) It's in the builder past the miniture SoL next to the Villa Rotunda.  I'm currently working on the trunk and intake tubes.  

This is my current status: 4-29-11


Anybody is welcome to help but I'm not sure how I'm gonna do the insides of the building.... I will probably dedicate rooms to various members if yall ask so feel free to do so!

So far I've had help from:
Apij, Spikey, Ram, Quad, Greenest, Liquid!
Thnx 4 all the help guys (if I'm 4getting anyone plz let me know!)

I think i will come on and see what i can do to help you.

[tbpb2010]

k thnx 4 the support.  Oh and Flight, if u see this I want u to know that u built partially over the space im on using for this project. I've already put so much time and effort clearing out the area underneath. I'm aware that you probably didnt know but I was really hoping if you could move your project (sharks or flying fish?) or that I could build around your project.

Not to be rude, but why is it on Notre Dame? I needed that space to /copy and /paste the buttresses for the exterior on Side B on the cathedral. I didn't realize you were building a tree in Notre Dame...

[tbpb2010]

Srry i was trying to secretly do it at first and i only announced it recently (which was stupid on my part considering others may build on it like you did).  I figured since no one was working in Notre Dame at the time I started on it (which was a month ago) and it was the only world that had enough space for what i wanted to do.  If you still need the space I'll stop my project and work elsewhere.

[tbpb2010]

at the moment i am postponing this project due to the zoning in Notre Dame and because I needed to take a break from this (I've been working on it for a long time befor I posted this)

[Spartan]

Too bad you cant do it anymore, theres a zone now

[Mr.Monkey]

I suggest you become a crafter, 128x128 of free space. 

[niggerjew]

He has to have a very good standard to make the grade for crafter.

[tbpb2010]

@Monkey
Well I'm sorta building this so I can attempt to become crafter...so yeah.  I found an area in builder4 that I can do it in.  It may slight cover your ridiculously huge car pic/sprite Monkeh so just let me know if I'm building too close.

@Rallag7
Yeah I know that's why I'm trying to do an over the top project that's large in size.  I'm also doing a cathedral thats so big, I'm gonna wait till a new world shows up where I can ask for it to be moved to.

[Mr.Monkey]

Don't worry about the car, it is better viewed from the back anyway. If you are really desperate for space, you can even fill the gap to the car.

[tbpb2010]

@Monkey
K well I've made my project much smaller than originally planned anyways.  It doesnt need to be as big as I thought it should be.

Also does anyone have have tips on filling large areas with water/lava?   
I personally perfer the replace/paint method by filling the area with solid and painting lava/water in its place.

if you want i could help you work on it

[tbpb2010]

@liquidcool24
sure u can help! just let me know in game when and how u wanna help me.

Right now, I'm trying to make a "zigzagged sort of leaf brush" around the top of the tree.  At first, I wanted to keep it solid and have it simply wrap around the tree.  Right now it's looking kinda of bad so I may end up cutting into some of the solid area to make the leaf brush look more leafy. 

If anyone have some innovative ideas on how to make the leafy area on top look better let me know. Hopefully my little explanation made some sense to some folks.
