✨ Friday Fun Prompt: What’s Your “Dream Build”?
I have a couple ideas I've been noodling on as ways to expand my SL & Rise skills. They are both super ambitious but doable 😅
One is an interactive garden planner. Every year me (and everyone I know who gardens!) fights with spreadsheets or other planning tools to put together garden plans that account for things like correct planting times, plant placement for companion planting, and spacing. I would love to use SL to build a tool that has a visualization of a garden bed and the available spaces in it, and a library of drag & drop planting options that the tool would be able to tell you yes or no whether you could place them next to each other. I think this would work similar to a logic puzzle game, and I have a feeling someone in here has tackled something similar before I could build off of.
The second idea is making an animated music video using storyline. I'm always inspired by how far folks are able to get with animations in storyline. I'm not sure if anyone here has seen the movie Flow, but I'm also super inspired by how the director Gints Zilbalodis basically learned to do animation on his own for this feature using the open-source animation software Blender. I'm a musician myself and since I work here at Articulate I've always thought it would be fun to try to make a music video for one of my songs using SL animations.
For my current level of SL skill, both of these ideas feel super intimidating to me, but maybe with enough community cheerleading (ahem: social pressure 😅) one of them has legs?!

I am slightly scared that if david sees this he will hold me accountable
