Thanks to Thaddeus Nadeau, I’ll be participating in the Antique Grid Show Spring Hunt, beginning April 6. I’m excited to be in that hunt, as I had passed on being in STEAM 8. For this one, the scope is limited to “antique” items – but that can mean anything from the 16th century onward, including the Edwardian and Victorian eras. It’s one where the hunt items cost $L10 to buy, but they’re really worth it.

Whee!! Another new product listed. You have no idea how frustrating it can be to have tons of ideas and lots of great textures, but to be constantly flailing about. I spent hours, for instance, the other night goofing around with a truly dumb party hat. But this is something different – it’s mesh, which I’ve never worked with before. It’s from a kit I read about on SLUniverse. If I can figure out the movie software, I’ll try to make a short “product clip” to put online. Animated folding MESH room divider screen adds Asian style and modern flair…

This is so cool – I read about a new product at SLUniverse – a builder’s kit for making folding mesh screens that can be scripted to open and close. All you have to do is add your own textures, and WA-LA: This image is based on a photo I took years ago at a geisha (actually an oiran) event. The dancers had a fog effect going and so I took lots of pictures. Now, years later on the better machine, I’ve used some GIMP tricks to make the image look like an artistic landscape sketch, with some gold splashes…

Just listed at the Marketplace: Simple antique room divider or boudoir screen. Semi-transparent, so best if placed in front of a solid textured wall. Works with many different styles of decor and eras. It’s copy/mod/no transfer, so you can take the transparency to 0 and switch it from “phantom” to solid. Keep a backup copy if you edit, though. This is pretty primmy – my next screens are going to exciting, animated MESH, as I cracked loose for a really nice builder’s kit. It’ll be fun texturing it, and I’m going to try to make a short video clip to…

HAH! I hope someone finds this image inspiring. Link: LOL Medieval: Sex sells. Especially to medieval peasants. And this one, too.

This video makes Second Life look marvelous… now I might think about getting some of those beautiful trees.

I got these nifty little texture/sculpty organizers working in my private grid, Haleakaloha, a few months back. The script is by Solo Mornington; download it and the README and the base textures at GitHub. Open Source Scripting Fun The cool thing is that it builds itself. You basically lay out 22 box prims and link them. Then you put the textures from the Resources folder on Github in it and install the script, and WHAM, instant low-lag 20-pane texture organizer. It has texture mode and sculpty mode, it checks for perms and advises how many textures were not loaded due…

UPDATE: Olivier Battini updated the NWS Group page with this great news: OK, here is the state of New World Studio : • Principal features are implemented and working quite fine • Updater system should work but needs testing • Some bugs left to fix In the last spurt of activity last year, my error has been to try implementing a whole bunch of features at once or at least in a short period of time, and as I became less available I could not manage the resulting load of work. This time, I will concentrate on adding stuff step…

Definitely worth checking out, Penny’s guidelines could make for better builds, too. Her MP page links to her Second Life Camera Settings page. When using these shapes using her camera settings makes for an impressive change. I am so used to using the alternate camera settings for my defaults I am all OMG!, when a new install reverts them to system defaults. via New Penny Patton Shapes Released
