The Returning - Markus Inkpen at LEA17


At first The Returning looks to be a beautiful and slightly mysterious forest. There are birds chirping and the occasional frog calling to its friends.  The sim is absolutely made for photography and I spent a lot of time flipping through windlight settings.  


 I am sure a good photographer and someone with Photoshop could do wonders with what they find here.  I am a bit rusty and still do not have any photo editing software installed on this computer so my images are straight from SL.  Please, please click through for a larger view.  Do it. please.

More after the break




This is Second Life so you can find the mandatory piano in the forest.  I have to admit the first time I saw the random piano in an unlikely place I thought it was interesting.  At this point I want to see a tuba or a zebra playing a tuba or possibly a cupcake or even a harp. How about a harp?  Maybe there could be a bathtub?  No no, the bath tub is about as ubiquitous as a piano. Ok. Sorry. I am being fussy, aren't I?  I do love pianos.  I mean it.


What is that off in the distance?  I am quite impressed with how Markus Inkpen has made this sim feel huge using views like this one.







The textures used at The Returning are amazing. The atmosphere is intoxicating.  I think you will love it.

Maybe the piano is common, but the mailbox, not so much!

I must have missed the mailbox! Now I have to go back and see what else I missed.

I spent a wonderful time exploring here.
Such a wonderful atmosphere and, as you say , the feeling of scale is very impressive. So much to see (and miss).
Thank you for your wonderful blog too
