There's a neat little opensource version of SecondLife called OpenSim. I use it to to experiment with architectural ideas. Here is one structure I put up to try out an idea I had drawn out on paper, when given the assignment in Architectural Composition. The assignment was to create a temple, a nonsectarian place of worship or meditation. This building was my response to the assignment.
I hope eventually to do some higher-quality, more realistic renderings in Rhino or some other software.
As you may notice, the "shininess" quality I applied to the surfaces of the building are a generalized blur of a gradient representing the environment.
