15 November - The Explorers Club went to Alphaworld (AW) where they have visited Bleakwood, which is a town area built by Kuma Bear (#366012). Kuma Bear is a very good builder and she has won a CyAwards this year (Virtual Art Design). The building area of Kuma Bear is huge and reaches an area of 200 cells into each direction....and it's not only the town of Bleakwood but also the surrouding landscape that is amazing..... |

Kuma Bear came to AW in 2010 and has started building her own town Bleakwood in Alphaworld, and when exploring other worlds, she saw that most of the buildings were rather empty. In Bleakwood, every building has furniture in it and most of the buildings have a function. Bleakwood is also a town of building ideas : it's not just putting some objects in a house , but by using advanced building techniques, she hopes that others visitors can learn from it and keep returning to Bleakwood as a source of information : cloth, gravity command , creating a digital clock, making hills with the shear command, use of the vrt timer command,.... Kuma Bear also uses a wider range of textures than the average builder, by using for examples the texture of the sw-city website and the yellow-world website ...etc . And if a model doesn't exist yet, then she creates by making a composition of object parts and textures. Read her article in the AWForum : "Bleakwood grows" : http://forums.activeworlds.com/read.php?4,360951 On the map you can see in orange the "actual" building area of land covered by Kuma Bear. The "actual" area, because Kuma Bear keeps expanding Bleakwood month after month. The purple areas are the borders of Bleakwood, where Kuma Bear announces that you are entering Bleakwood . As you can see on the map, then you are still more than 100 cells away from the town centre of Bleakwood... |

16053N 26867W - Kuma Bear calls this area the "Peace Plaza" and is the center of Bleakwood. At the corner of the plaza , you will find the digital clock (VRTtime), which is also rotating at the same time. As a newbie, it's difficult to see how you can make yourself a digital clock. In the forum however, she refers to position 1999N 6558E, where she explains how to make the clock. On the peace plaza , you will find also the CYAward trophy , which she has won in july of this year. |
