need help with picture

I copied this pic from the forums. I cannot find it now. I am trying to recreate this idea of the lighthouse and dock. If anyone out there would be willing to give me a step by step walk thru (if the owner of this house would do it, that would be awesome), I would greatly appreciate it.

Re: need help with picture

There was a nice tutorial on the Stratics Homes & Castles forum for making 10 story tower & other optical illusions, but alas it is no more.

However, Surindur on Stratics likes making optical illusion houses. Here is a lighthouse & dock example he/she posted this week:



Perhaps if you sent a PM to that person, they would give some instructions on the actual mechanics of creating the illusion.

Miss Echo also dabbles with optical illusions. Here is a pic of one of her evil citadels which was a sort of "fun house" with trap doors and such.



She has deco tutorials on her website...if asked, it is possible she might be persuaded to make a tutorial on optical illusion towers in custom housing.

*edit*

Found a pic of Ziggy the Weird's 10 story tower which I believe was the spark for the now lost optical illusion tutorial thread on Stratics.

That is breathtakingly beautiful Skylark!
Truly, this is a great work of art in such an interesting form. I would love to tour these grounds were I ever given such a kind offer.

There truly are some creative people that play this game!

From what Surindur posted, the lighthouse illusion plot is actively standing - you could always post or send a PM to request shard & coordinates, and request a tour if possible. I linked to the user profile on Stratics.

I don't think Miss Echo's evil citadel is still around, but I know she is still playing, because she still posts her designs here & on Stratics, plus her own web site.

However, I am not sure if Ziggy the Weird who designed the mega 10 story tower even still plays - I grabbed that screenie a long time ago from the forums.

You don't need to pay to be a user on Stratics, just register for a user account. The new boards don't even have the "Plus" paid subscription option. They don't want our money!

I'll be happy to send a PM on your behalf though.

LOL@Pennywise.
