Here are some photos of a terraforming project that is very near and dear to my heart. It is Doleo Sanctuary, my current home in 2nd Life. Not a full sim, yet a very lovely and peaceful 16, 384 sq.m. lot designed in my signature tropical style. Originally, Doleo Sanctuary consisted of two 6,144 sq.m. lots that I joined. I, recently, added a small adjoining 4,096 sq.m. lot that became available.

Although altering the terrain is allowed in the land covenant, I left the land mostly intact as I found it. I did of course create two corridors through the rough mountains to join the three lots, as well as smooth and refine the the general terrain. For the smaller 4,096 sq.m. lot I lowered most of the land deep into the water and created a small lagoon with the land I left exposed.

Other features of the is project include the following:

• Performed all landscaping.
• Added three out-of-sim elements: a reef, an island, and a stylized head.
• Created a small volcano out of one of the existing mountain peaks.
• Sourced and arranged all prefab structures.

Here are a few images of a 2nd Life terraforming project I did about a year ago. This was a complete region build for the homestead sim named Alcedonia. The theme was somewhat medieval or gorean. The scope of the project included the following:

• Modified a custom terrain file.
• Applied custom terrain textures.
• Performed all landscaping.
• Sourced and arranged prefab structures.
• Built a custom temple platform and a hidden hot springs.
