Thank God, I was getting really tired of the lame lighting and phototools in Kokua. We had hoped to be able to have all the latest Linden Lab bug fixes and service improvements in our next release, but it looks like it’ll be another month or two before that code is ready from LL. But we also wanted to get a release out before 2014 with the latest released code from LL and the latest Firestorm development work. This includes new features like Content Import/Export and Collada Export, plus new features from LL like Materials, ribbon particles, etc. Click for…

I haven’t had very much to do with marketing groups; I belong to a Victorian shopkeepers one that’s kind of invitation only, but haven’t quite gotten my role updated to “can send notices of new products to the group” yet. But I might make myself a big fat TO-DO list on that, because last night I experienced the power of marketing to the right group of potential customers. I have set up a vendor with the (currently just two) Dinkies-sized hats at the Dinkies Village at SOMA Design School – it’s a nice little hangout with play areas, dance ball,…

Recently, several bloggers have reported that Linden Lab is working on an official mobile client and they’ve sent emails to people (I assume the sorts of people who update their blogs more frequently than I do). I would really, really, really, really love to try out a mobile client in beta, if only I were cool enough and less invizibul. But I would only want to try it on an iOS device. Currently I use the pretty solid Pocket Metaverse client, which is non-graphical but useful for sending IMs, group invites, and payments to other AVs. I can send inventory…

I’d been wearing a resized version of the velvet hat with my DINKIES kitty avatar and having so much fun, I had to put it out there for other Dinkies to enjoy. Also, check out my “Chameleonic Possessions” group on Flickr – I’ll upload preview images of products I’m working on there, and also the best images of some of my existing products. I’m hoping that if people join it they’ll upload photos of themselves having fun with the stuffs. I even added an arty style photo. Now DINKIES Kitties can has a texture change top hat! The textures on…

Yes, I’ve been motivated lately – not only did I just list this at the Marketplace: A simple antique rug, well worn but carefully kept, enhances any decor. This one has paler, more subtle colors and more vertical lines and angular designs in the corners. via Second Life Marketplace – @DF@ Antique Rug Egyptian Revival. But I also have this for sale in my NEW SHOP in Steelhead City, as well as in the Tweddle outlet shop: Currently I’ve only had time to load it in inworld vendors, but will add it to the Marketplace presently. I have some exciting…

I have been absent of late bumbling around in the typist’s life of so-called “reality,” but I happened to log in to deal with a customer service issue yesterday, and resolved to log in today to get more chores done. I missed the 3rd Birthday gift for Firestorm, but I had a different special gift in my trousers when I logged in. Special Gifts Firestorm Kitty As a token of our thanks and appreciation, we teamed up with KittyCatS!, who have put together the most amazing custom collectible pet to give away to you as a gift. The Firestorm Kitty…

Just listed at the Marketplace – as I thought, it took about as long to create the marketing textures as it did to create the original hat, although I spent a lot of time tweaking this one. It’s a unisex style again, and I’ve been wearing variations of this hat for MONTHS, so it’s high time I got it ready to release. In the meantime, I discovered that it fits my new Dinkies Kitty avatar with a little rotating (no size adjustment necessary). Hurray, kitties in hats! Change the textures on this versatile antique hat for year-round style. Add your…

This was listed at the Marketplace a while back – as I thought, it took about as long to create the marketing textures as it did to create the original hat, although I spent a lot of time tweaking this one. And then publicizing and social-mediaizing it took even longer… In the meantime, I discovered that it fits my Dinkies Kitty avatar with a little rotating (no size adjustment necessary). Hurray, kitties in hats! 14 hat and 6 hatband textures, dozens of combinations Brown blocked wool with gamboling Art Nouveau wild animals Redonkulously cute on Dinkies Kitty avatars, too Change…

It’s been a satisfying weekend getting back into the swing of things. I’ve worked on several variations of hats, getting them loaded with textures. These 2 batches are texture change, one based on “acid burnt chiffon velvet” textures, and one based on some jewel-tone wools and crushed velvets from a different texture purchase. Both hats will have texture change hatbands, and slightly different cockade decorations. Some of the hatband textures are Art Nouveau fragments that I was playing with last spring, and some are some basic suede or exotic leather-like ones. What had partly bogged me down was how to…
