Back up

Well, we are back up, but not from a backup. Wish we had one on a partition that didnt die. Anyways. I did some quick building today and here's some first pic's. Mind its a work in progress though. But at least the Club is back up and running.
It needs a lot more work, which will obviously happen overtime. Feel free to pop by and take a sneak peak at it however. Make sure to say Hi if you do. Red Dragon nite club can be found by finding "Red Dragon Club" on the map.

Soon we will also revive the Red Dragon Shops, after which you can come and put the stuff you like to share out for sale again. Contact Foxx Bode inworld for more details.

For now, take care, and when you make those OAR's, store them on a different disk, not different partition ! It can save some hours/weeks/Months....

DownTime

Red Dragon will be temporarily permanently down, as one of the disks of the machine it resides on decided to give up. Unfortunately it was the bootdisk of the machine that crashed, so it will probably take us upto the weekend to get things reinstalled and going again. ( it was time for a reinstall anyways..... ). And for a rebuild aswell. Some genius put the backups on a different HDD partition, but on the same disk (facepalm). Bye regions, OAR's, textures programs and other stuff.
Obviously we will build something new when the new disks arrive.Thank you for your understanding and patience.  

-*RDS*- Design realises various projects in OSgrid

Next to building stuff for the Red Dragon Nite club, we sometimes assist and help out the people that are not capable of realising their own builds or projects. Below you will find 2 of our latest projects in OSgrid.

The first one is a build of Nedaplast LTD, built for avatar Neda Norm.

In a constant search to generate added value for its customers, Nedaplast LTD from the Netherlands was searching for a way to make an attractive product catalogue in 3D for it's customers. Nedaplast is a company that designs, develops and sells Recycled Plastics. From parking poles to street and park furniture, straight poles & boards, or even fencings and playground supplies, if it's design is from recycled plastics, Nedaplast is the supplier you look for in the netherlands.

Instead of suggesting a 3D plugin for their website, Foxx Bode of -*RDS*- Design made a pilot simulator on the OSGrid, translating their "physical" building into a 3D model as per their request. Eventually this model should become available on Hypergrid, and anchor into the Nedaplast website. This way Nedaplast's customers can not only look at specsheets, but also get an idea of the 3D representation & design of its various models of products. This is a work in progress, but the sim is live, and can be visited at Nedaplast LTD on the map.


The second project is a conference center built for avatar Amanda Rose.

In a couple of months, the US airforce will have a conference in the Rennaisance Spa & hotel, for which a virtual representation was required in the OSgrid. -*RDS*- built an impression (not replica) of a part of the hotel in which this convention will be held. It's currently situated on the sim of RDS Design, but will move to a desired location soon.

For more information on implementing your project in OSgrid, you can always inform at RDS for assistance, consultancy or even basic building lessons. Mind that RDS design will only build "full perm", and that any project we realise can become available to anyone who would like to have it. As we generally do not charge anything for building a project,  this also means you will have to cope with what we provide in. We build for fun, not for greed. For further information on RDS Design, contact Foxx Bode inworld or at Gmail.com

Playing around

Red Dragon Nite Club regions have updated to the latest build, the 0.7.2.dev.2a12d14 and also updated all the INI files with the changes mentioned on the OSgrid news pages. We have also been playing with Imprudence 1.4 exp. The Media on a prim now works like a charm when quicktime is installed, which is fun, and good to know. Things appear to run stable sofar, and we will keep you posted. There are some updates posted in the links sections below aswell, so grab the fresh goodies. 

Also we tried  Kitely, which is an app connecting you to a "booted on on demand" cloud based OSG server, via facebook credentials. Since its in beta you have 1000 credits to play around. Funny concept, and although its not fast, it does what it promises. I only expected a webviewer (in the likes of Unity or so) , having to install a plugin. Not for it to fire up imprudence.  Imprudence is releasing its new 1.4.0 Beta somewhere next week. 

Aurora has a fresh new website, and are currently at version 0.3.1. There also working on an inworldconnector, which is sort of a hypergrid replacement for all we know ATM.  

Furthermore we enjoyed a couple of great party's with 80's and 90's music at D&J's Friday party, which are pretty well attended. If you are new in OSG you definetely want to drop in on one of these, and meet all the regulars, and if your a regular and wonder why LBSA is so empty at friday evenings, well. Now you know.

To stay in the D&J area, This weeks region Showcase is Doro's Real Estate. If you need a home, and can't / don't feel like building one, you want to check this sim. It contains quality housing, built with neat accuracy by one of OSG's finest designers. Castle's temples, appartments, farms, modern, classic, its all there. For kick ass D&J furniture you can drop by at the Red Dragon Shops, where D&J has one of her furniture store's. If you like a luxurious OSG life with quality prims, come shop for Free.
