I have a need for virtual space for a year (or two, or three) to create at the expense of someone else paying to provide for that space. If accepted in exchange one would get the enjoyment seeing the progress as a blank  pixel canvas becomes full of creative expression that uses textures applied to prims in a virtual setting whereby permaculture inspired thoughts and ideas are being or have been brought forth from imagination to virtual reality. (Please pardon my lack of sentence structure, I was never a great english student)

I have previously built on the sims of friends in virtual worlds such as SecondLife, OZgrid, Theadultgrid, phishworld.  I loved (and miss) virtual environments for designing with plants and creating structures before having ever known what permaculture existed...I took a break to focus on Real Life emergencies.

I am lost without that creative outlet.  I simply do not wish to pay real dollars for virtual space that may disappear for the sake of the owner of the virtual environment taking a month or two vacation from backing up their servers. (rant secured)

Any offers for assistance with my need for virtual space are appreciated and may be accepted after careful consideration.
If one wishes to contribute or has additional questions related to this topic, please simply reply I will try to respond as soon as possible.

Thanks in advance. P.S. Winter is here and the snow is pretty outside.

So...I don't know if you'd be comfortable with a game, but Rift has what they call "dimensions." Essentially you get to build an area into what you like. It's a f2p model, however things would be locked behind some paywalls and in-game currency. I enjoy the game and dimming is one of my fav aspects of it.

I'm considering making a user friendly permaculture design tool in 3D, in the mean time you could always use the environment art tools in game engines such as Unity or Unreal. I have a post on the forum for how to create custom 3D plants. Of coarse you wont have the social aspect like in a game.
 
Is that almond roca? Did you find it in the cat box? What is on this tiny ad?
