2015 WRITE: VIDEO: Fry 's Toothsome Delight

Fry 's Toothsome Delight

Reading a book means to me a new landscape, new street, new building, new person... All of them are in my head. It is my very private cinema, figments of my imagination. It is hard to share them with somebody else. But living in digital era gives me options and tools to try it. I can share my interpretation in machinima and my dreamscapes in virtual world.

• Watch on YouTube

My project is virtual place - landscapes, interior and avatar used in video. My filming locations are running on OpenSimulator, multiplatform open source environment, which can be used to create a virtual world. You can create your own private world at your home computer. You can create virtual world for your friends or join any publicly accessible OpenSim virtual world and let people use and enjoy your creations.-You can visit my virtual world, walk these sweet landscapes and become that boy. Or a girl:)

How to handle a Hypergrid address 

From any Hypergrid-enabled grid, paste the address into the address bar of Firestorm and press enter. Or paste it into the world map search bar of any viewer, search, and click Teleport when the destination is found. If it doesn't work, don't give up. Try again in couple of minutes.  Sometimes the first try fails (probably times out).  And try again a few hours later. Some hypergrid destinations are offline part of the day. 

• The ideal Hypergrid address form--almost there in Firestorm
• If you get an address like this: 
• hg.francogrid.org:80:Residence-09:/119/128/190 
• paste it into the address bar of Firestorm, see if it takes you to the exact coordinates.
