DIY Photosphere

Ever needed a photo studio for some vanity stroking, uh, photographs? All the studios you know of are busy? Simple; construct your own photosphere! Sarah Nerd shows you how…. You will need Photoshop, GIMP or Paint Shop Pro to create the alpha-channel and other textures, or at least know someone who can make such for you.

This is a great thing for yourself, of course. To be shamelessly commercial about it, you could also link the whole structure into a single build, rezz up/take it back at will, and rent it out on demand to clients, thus making a possible income stream for yourself. You wouldn’t need any land of your own; just an open public sandbox. Or, if you have building rights and enough prims somewhere (this will take a minimum of 6 prims), set it up as a skybox. For this, I’d suggest making the cube more of a platform, with the sphere planted toward the back. That will give you a point outside the sphere to set up a telepad target.

Thanks to Teal Etzel.

Supplemental: I just discovered New World Notes links to Sarah as well.  She might be getting quite a bit of publicity here!
