    Silver and Ebony Walking Sticks – NEW at Froobert’s Further West

    August 6, 2014 - By 

    Dhughan here, having got my stumps under me and motivated, here’s a new walking stick at last: Silver and Ebony Walking Stick – Walk Like A Gent! There are actually 2 sticks, one is compatible with the basic AO that is included and also the Gentleman Jim AO by Posture is Everything (Kamilah Hauptmann, proprietrice) and the other is compatible just with the basic AO. The second one is provided as a backup for those who’d like to try adding more animations to the config card. IM me inworld if interested in knowing how. The bally Marketplace wasn’t working, after…

    Zero Brush Addon By: Blender Sensei

    July 29, 2014 - By 

    As seen at Blender Nation – an intriguing and very intuitive texturing and painting addon for Blender that’s getting a lot of buzz in comments. For one thing, it’s easy to use, and for another, it’s free. There is a library of free textures as well – the license seems to be free to use for commercial applications, no mention of any restrictions for Second Life. The main product looks interesting, a productivity and organizational suite for Blender called Sensei Format that has a lot of useful tweaks and tools for serious Blender artists (especially useful: integrated texture and materials…

    The Marauder: Sailing Over The Bounding Mainland

    July 25, 2014 - By 

    The recent Premium Gift from Linden Lab for Second Life paid users was received with mixed feelings – it’s a great looking steampunk airship, but the land impact was 502LI. My initial excitement was tempered by regret – it looked great, but was so costly in land impact that most people would never bother to rez it unless they were in a sandbox. I ran into Inara Pey inworld when I first got my Marauder, who later blogged about the high LI of the original. Well, Dhughan discovered today when he went to grab a copy, that a new version…

    Sim-on-a-Stick and Haleakaloha

    July 23, 2014 - By 

    It’s a long time since I messed around with my little test grid, Haleakaloha. I’ve got quite a few different OARS and I’ve saved different versions of my inventories, but haven’t worked with it much after my original installation of New World Studio got hopelessly corrupted. So months and months ago, I started playing around with Sim on a Stick (http://simonastick.com/) and got things to the point where I’d uploaded some primitive mesh, and also imported some .dae or .obj files from Second Life or Blender. Now it’s time to mess about in there again and actually make use of…

    Retopology with Optimo Maximo at #BuildersBrewery for #Blender

    July 3, 2014 - By 

    Yes, I’m being dogged (or rather kittehed) about it. I have the day off and today is a school day for learning Blender. Currently, have read through chapter 3 of Blender Graphics by John M Blain (first edition). I’m doing some of the learning modules on Gryllus.com later today, too. But this Retopology class came up, and as I can never attend Maximo’s classes during my normal work week, this is too important to miss. Must not ragequit, must not ragequit. OM. NOM. NOM. So hey, I was able to follow along for a while, and when I got stuck,…
