Today’s theme for Atlas Hopping was the gardens of Sansar. We visited:
- Ryan’s Garden (my one, and so far only, Sansar experience)
- Bonsai Garden, by Toyoyuki Okuyama
- Reid’s Plants, by Reid Parkin
- Bluebell Store and Garden, by Bluebell
- Picnic at Mr. Darcy’s, by Solas
I didn’t know ahead of time that my experience would be on the list of experiences to visit today, otherwise I would have vacuumed and tidied up the place a bit 😉
The snowman you see in the picture below (taken by Mijeka Munro) was created using the Oculus Medium sculpting tool. It was then imported into Blender in order to apply colours, then exported as an FBX file and placed into my experience near the spawn point of Ryan’s Garden.
Watching everyone ride on and enjoy Agustine’s musical carousel in Ryan’s Garden, laughing and talking (and then hopping on for a ride myself) was one of the happiest moments I’ve experienced in Sansar to date. It reminded me how much I loved to ride the carousel when the Red River Exhibition was in town every summer.
In the above picture, that’s me waving at Andrew the photographer, I’m the one in the grey Sansar T-shirt.
Later on, I had a blissful Zen moment at the Bonsai Garden:
