Finding an Exciting Place!


I started looking for an area I can take my ART450 class to.  I wanted to chose something that had a lot of detail that can have an avatar there for quite some time.  I started roaming around looking for sports affiliated things, because that's what I generally like.  I came across a hockey rink that seem to be pretty impressive that actually offered a league that real people could participate in.  If you look at the pic, the whole arena is made to detail, and there are also corporate sponsors such as Nike, Subway, and Burger King.


So then I decided to look around some more to see what else I could present to the class.  I then thought about looking for art works that were located in cathedrals and historic buildings.  I wanted to take them to replica sites so its as if we were taking a field trip to Rome or something like that.  I was looking around for a while but couldn't really find a great replica place.  The best one I found was a replica of the Sistine Chapel.  The artworks were beautifully crafted on the walls, though I believe the owner if this building could of finished adding more detail.  This work is close to complete.


I finally set my sights on Phaze Demesnes.  This is a magically land that has everything mythical, such as Castles, dragons, and fairies.  This is a giant sim  that has multiple islands that feature content for a lot of people to have fun with.  I actually happen to find the person who set up the sim too!  She was promoting her translation software company as a side project (I would assume its her main purpose of funding for her land).  Either way, the island was what I chose for my class to see.  The amount of detail is insane.  You can scale any wall and just see how high quality the artwork is.  It's really fun to get around too.  Its not as conventional as walking or flying around.  Since flying is disabled, you must either ride dragons around, or enter these little doors (reminds me of Alice in Wonderland)
that teleport you to a different part of the island.  A very big and well developed sim that should have more people visit indeed.  It's great even for couples to visit because there a lot of activities to do such as dancing and giving each other back rubs.
