So what does an island look like?

Shown here are two islands in the Information Archipelago, managed by Alliance Library System / Alliance Virtual Library. Eduisland 3 is seen on the left with the Machinima Institute located on the SW corner (4096 plot) on Eduisland 3 (60, 30, 22).


On the right is the newly delivered island awaiting a new terrain.
I have been checking out the terrains created by Avatrian:http://www.avatrian.com

The Terrain Factory offers a variety of environmental themes influenced by real life g eography and virtual environments: Some of my favorites were Iceland,Lake Victoria, Natural Fortress and the 12 island raw file, Overook, that promises to turn the mountain isle into a divided instructional location. I will be subdividing the island to take advantage of separate media settings for the smaller isles.

New island for Machinima Institute

The Machinima Institute & Cafe is currently located on the SW corner of Eduisland 3 on a 4096 sq. meter plot that is leased from Alliance Virtual Library. Look for us on the new island south of Eduisland 3, to be called Machinima Institute. This snapshot shows HVX Silverstar flying over current location...
