Wow Koops, this is very detailed for Second Life. How many corners do you have to cut with prims and textures to make this happen? Do you have to spend a lot of currency for custom texture maps?

You've put the blood, sweat and tears into this. Congratulations on your progress

[koops65]

Thanks! I sell buildings and use that income to buy textures, or I make my own from the drawings I make for the diagram section of SSP. I don't care about the prim count right now, even though it's approaching 3000. I plan to convert it all to mesh and cut the prim count down by 3/4... I still have several hundred buildings to texture as well as many more to re-texture with some HQ stuff.
