This project — the recreation of Baroque Lisbon in 1755, just before the big earthquake which destroyed the city — was used by Beta Technologies as a means to do heavy-duty, intensive use of our own OpenSim mini-grid, to test the technology to the extreme under "real" conditions, with buildings of 8000+ prims in a single region. The video shows how crude logging in can be (the worst-case scenario) but how smoothly things work when everything has rezzed. The result was that the technology is "good enough" for professional, regular work, although it requires a lot of time and patience in constant maintenance to make sure everything works flawlessly. For low-budget projects (where the customer cannot afford the cost of leasing private islands from Linden Lab) or machinima (where scenarios will be basically destroyed after the videos are shot), OpenSim really becomes a viable alternative.Cast: Gwyneth Llewelyn
