Second Life - Island Test

Ok, so today I decided to have a go at creating the floating islands for our Steampunk style "Cloud Village". Firstly I created the island using Maya, which was fairly straight forward. I then created a Sculptie map with a mud texture baked on the island. This was then uploaded into Second Life and our first small floating island was created.

Although the island looks the way I want it to, it doesn't meet the size requirements we have chose upon for our islands. This is the biggest it can be in Second Life so I'm going to have to find a way to make it bigger. The first idea that came to me, was to make it in sections and then uploading each individual part into Second Life and placing all the pieces together. One of the problems I can see with that method is wether the texture will look seamless, or wether it will just look like a jigsaw. 

Time to get back to trying out different methods to allow for our desired sizes.
