About this episode

This video shows the current status of the "City and Spectacle" project, to be presented at the VSMM 2009 — 15th International Conference on Virtual Systems and Multimedia in Vienna, Austria (http://www.vsmm2009.org/). Changes include the "Patriarcal" church and piazza, new detail on the Opera House façades, a remodelation of Rua da Capela, new Palace Gardens, and a redesign of the Canevari Clock Tower. The video of the 3D models actually comes from OpenSimulator 0.6.6 and is very rude and amateurish. However, the superior capabilities of the modern Second Life viewers show how delightfully realistic the buildings can look like, thanks to the new lighting model that includes shadows.
