Avenue des Champs - Etoile: is a two sim (two island) project comissioned by a private French investor. The main idea was to develop the vertical (north-south) axis of each island, so it resambled Avenue des Champs in Paris. The 60 m wide avenue is surrounded by rentable plots.
At the north end of the avenue we created the replica of Arc de Triomphe. The replica is a bit smaller in scale than the real thing, to fit better within the given width of the avenue. We used some real life textures from the actual arch to meet the prim limit expectations while maintaining the highest quality.


The same applies to the metro station, kiosks, street lamps and other details used in Etoile. To give it even more realistic look, we arranged some road works in the far part of the avenue.

Cezary Ostrowski aka Cezary Fish - aHead CEO

Belga News Agency - from Belgium. The task was to create the presence of Belga in Second Life in the most natural way and in the most appropriate scale. On the contrary to Reuters presence, Belga aimed for natural looks and functions. We decided to recreate the "feeling" of their real life headquarters, which are located in an industrial, red-brick building. The layout of the building has been adopted for Second Life (remodelled, rescaled), but we kept the general looks of it. We also added a bit of surrounding structures, eg. swimming pool, basketball, benches, to create a less formal, recreational area around.

The inside of the building is minimalistically furnished and "sculptured" with light. It contains bar and lounge area, welcome area for news suppliers, offices, board room, presentation areas and maintenance area.
