ICE CREAM EMERGENCY!

Ice Cream Emergency in Second Life!

URGENT ICE CREAM EMERGENCY!! Due to an error with a time machine, this ice cream freezer is located in an era without electricity! Please halp! DFS Ice Cream Cones $L5, DFS Ice Cream Tubs $L10… or until it melts.

As a sales promotion, this worked REALLY WELL. The folks at DFS have a fun and actually pretty addictive product, but the sales notices from hundreds of people get kind of tedious. It just made sense to “make ’em laugh.” And also, I sold out of virtual ice cream really fast. I’m trying to simplify my Second Life by focusing on just a few primary products for this DFS thing, and get rid of old stock that wasn’t priced low enough to move. Interesting.

So Much To Catch Up On!

After yet another long break from virtual reality, I got back in the saddle, got a group gift out at my shops, and decided to start some new kit projects.

Once again, starting my biennial tussle with Blender, and managed to update one of my previous items, a versatile little crate. I was very excited to discover a VERY comprehensive class offered by Graham Dartmouth of Blender Benders, and attended the introductory class for the Green group.

A chance comment by my friend Mistletoe led me to DFS (Digital Farm Systems) and the last 3 weeks have been spent in a flurry of activity, taking a 2000m flat green parcel and turning it into a productive farm (livestock, produce, manure) and setting up market stalls and “Pop-Karts” at my roadside farm stands.

It’s addictive but also a structured way to produce new content and products, which has recharged my SL batteries! It has been a great experience, meeting new people and getting excited about new projects.

See all this activity via my Flickr photostream and my SL profile feed; please follow for updates!

I will be participating in the grid-wide STEAM HUNT XIV after passing on it for several years. I was touched to receive a personal invitation from organizer Perryn Petersen; he must have seen my daily, near constant presence building, planting, tending, and harvesting. He also invited me to show products at the Hunt Expo. The hunt will be 01MAR-31MAR, and my Steelhead Bay dry goods shop will be the stop.

Landmarks are in the photos for now.

Mistletoe’s BACK!

Pass it on! I’ll be giving my first fireworks show in four years this Sunday (April 29th) at 7:30 PM SLT at Toot Toots Carolina Pub in the sim of Sifton (SLurl to be added soon)! The theme is “Spring Spectacular” and will feature uplifting classical music to accompany the beautiful explosions from Bach, Beethoven,…

Future Projects in OpenSim: TJ Texture Junction Textures #SecondLife

Posted on by March 29, 2018

Thank goodness for generous EULAs.

Whee! TJ-Texture Junction’s policies allow use in any world, so the textures I already bought (and love) can be used on my projects in Open Sim.

“You are free to use my textures in builds in SL or any other world just please do not resell them as textures…” – Texture Junction/Philomena Steampunk

This is a huge help. Just looking at these textures helps me “see” what I could do with my Expo project. I also got some templates that will spiff up the basic ones that are widely (too widely) available in OS.

This makes the second NPC figure/model for the expo show a lot easier to polish up. I need to tweak the top hat – it needs more brim curve and the upper part needs a little extra oomph. The “clockade” part is going to get some other stuff added as I go.

Once I get the exhibit up, the outfit will be set up on Kitely market.
