Rock and I leave an actual RL tropical island later today. Why are we going back to winter again? Oh, right. Jobs. Home. Cat.

There’s treasure out there in the Steamlands waiting for you to discover it – at midnight SL time March 1, STEAM IX begins. If you start at my shop in Steelhead St Helens, the sign to the left of the doorway has the link to the beginning of the hunt and helpful information. I’m participating, although Dhughan is sitting this one out. The theme this time is “Romancing the STEAM IX” so many treasure hunters will be looking for a big heart-shaped emerald of some kind, but with a steampunk twist to the narrative. It seems like most would need…

I’ve joined a couple of marketing groups and have realized that I need to update some of my branding, so I went looking for images to adapt that had no copyright issues.

I don’t know what…

Here I am sitting on my first (actually second) mesh object ever, which is more than a year old.

Now, finally, I can move on and make mesh stuffs, because at least I got this far in… ugh, almost TWO YEARS. I’m wearing the test-texture version of my dumb party hat, which debuts tonight at Toot Toot’s. Also wearing: my beautiful cinnamon sari by Luminous Designs. You can find it…

This tutorial looks promising, and I like how the presenter uses a really big keystroke display: I’ve bought 2 Blender books, watched many tutorials, and still can’t retain the basics, I have to start nearly from scratch every time I try it, and then get frustrated too quickly. I’ve got a project for a friend, and I’m hoping not to have to buy full-perm templates for $L400 for sculpt or mesh. This tutorial is for mesh, but I’d prefer a squashable sculpt once we get to that point. It seems like a good starting point just to try to get…
