Fantasy Faire, 3D printing, and other tidbits!

Fantasy Faire is just around the corner – it starts tomorrow, in fact! (April 23 thru May 3 2015, beginning at 9AM SLT)

Wilds of Organica has a number of new items which will make their debut appearance there – here are a few details:

Botan2-DARKGARDEN-vendor

Botans are plant based creatures from The Wastelands ( http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/The%20Wastelands/102/150/74 ); their physiology is unique to all sentient creatures of The Wastelands and is reminiscent of tough insect-eating plants found in swamps. They’re fast, vicious, and strictly carnivorous. They vary in appearance but beware their ferocity, incredible reach and their paralytic sting! (For more info about the Wastelands Botans, check out the entry for them on The Wastelands Wiki here: http://wiki.the-wastelands.org/index.php/Botans )

Botan2-vendor

This avatar stands ~2.7m tall and includes the avatar mesh, a basic AO, as well as eye and back attachments. It’s currently available in two colour variations, one of which will be available as a donation gift, with all proceeds going to Relay for Life! It is optimized for use with Advanced Lighting, but can be worn and viewed with Basic lighting as well.  This avatar is mod/copy/no transfer, with some copy-only scripts.

Ring-Pack-Vendor-SML

Since I’ve had the opportunity to model and 3D print small jewellry pieces recently, I decided I’d try my hand at creating some highly detailed but geometrically efficient pieces that could be used with many fantasy outfits (or just worn as is for fun). In all, there are three different rings, available in four different colours (gold, silver, hematite, bronze), plus one RFL-exclusive edition! Each package contains one copy of the ring sized to fit fingers and one copy of the ring sized to fit as an armlet (upper arm). These don’t come with a resizer script, so you may have to position/resize to fit your own shape manually, but if you need help (and can send me your avatar shape), feel free to give me a shout for a fitting.

The rings are mesh and optimized for use with Advanced Lighting, but also feature baked textures that look great under Basic lighting. Each are mod/copy/no transfer.

In addition to these items, previous RFL exclusives will also be available, including the pink and lavender edition Perytons as well as RFL versions of all the masks.

You can check out all of the above here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Aurora%20FF/224/14/48

Other Tidbits:

3D printing

As a tangent regarding the rings, I’ve successfully uploaded and have ordered a print of the Lion ring in real metal; I hope to have it in my hands in a few weeks. If all goes well and if there is enough interest, I’ll make more sizes available , along with some minor customization options. I’m really excited to see how these turn out!

Is there a particular Wilds of Organica item you’d like to see made available as a tangible 3D print? Feel free to leave a comment or send me an IM!

The Home Show

Organica will be at the Home Show starting May 1 and running thru May 31! More details to follow.

Land stuff

Folks who have followed the development of residential land on the Sylvan estate (which is situated to the south of the Organica region) may know that the estate recently expanded to welcome a wholly new residential region called Sylvan Vale. We’re only a month in, but already well on our way to establishing a wonderful place for many to call home. The region features small to medium-sized parcels in a fully landscaped alpine river valley environment for reasonable prices and can be reached by visiting the land office here.

Availability is limited – please feel free to drop by and give me a shout if you have any questions!

I’m not fat; I’m just A Little Husky (avatar)

New Husky avatars are here!Husky-Vendor-1024

Available this month at The Arcade, these 1.25m tall avatars are intended to be mostly bipedal, although the AO includes some quad animations alongside bipedal. You can pick up this avatar here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/The%20Arcade/67/132/32 (The Wilds of Organica machine is near the back, on the left side of the central aisle.)

As usual, transferrable avatars can be exchanged for mod/copy editions – Please note that the SLURL for the exchanger has changed. It can now be found at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Organica/231/80/30HUSKY-Vendor-fullbodykey-1024

More details are to follow, however I can say that a full set of new, large avatars is on the way! A variety of older and newer products will also be on display. The Faire only runs for about a week so do mark down Apr 21-Apr 29 2013 in your calendars!

More info on the new avatars to follow; i figured I’d update here at least to give you a sneak-peek before I logged off for the night.

Tiny Dragon Avatar – available March 1 at The Arcade!


12up-gachavendor2-sml

 

I’m all set for The Arcade – are you?

The Arcade is a quarterly event featuring creations from a great selection of merchants, all offered at discounted amounts for random prizes!

The above twelve varieties of the Tiny Dragon Avatar will be available as transfer-only gacha items (with option to lock-in mod/copy edition) only at The Arcade for the duration of the event (Mar 1 to Mar 31, 2012), then only as a gacha item in-store after that.

For more information about the avatar, including instructions for use and to learn how to lock-in the avatar to mod/copy status, please check out the Tiny Dragon Avatar info page.

The Arcade opens March 1 and runs through to March 31, 2013; see you there!




Cheshire Cats hit Wilds of Organica for Halloween!

Yeah, it’s been about a week since the initial wave of kittens showed up, but given the impending festive costume season, I figured I’d put these out rather than wait for some new year 😉

So again, these are mesh kitten avatars that come with customizable eyes (with control HUD), whiskers, and tail.

Just as a heads-up: these are full-bright but they’re pretty dark to begin with. Play around with that full-bright checkbox to see what you prefer. Some interesting effects can also be found by making the avatar transparent.

These avatars can be picked up in-store and now on the Marketplace!

New avatars available!

New to the line of Wilds of Organica avatars:

Yup – two hares are now available!

This avatar is designed to mostly work well with normal human animation overrides, although if you would like more animalistic animations, I highly recommend ORACUL for this avatar. I’ve included some notes and landmarks for various animation shops with the avatar, so that should get you started.

Each avatar is about 0.75m in height (standing on hind legs) and comes with eye control, customizable eyes and whisker attachments. All object components are mod/copy, while scripted components are copy only.
