Blog change & new releases

Organica has been around for quite a while – since October of 2007 in fact! But did you know Organica Specialty Trees is affiliated with an accessory shop as well?

In fact, Kitheres Industries was my first project! Some time last year I decided to consolidate the shop and move it to a single spot located at Fort Stygian in The Wastelands. For a number of different reasons, however, it had to be put on the backburner and I haven’t really had the chance to add to the shop until recently. I’ve added a new product and I’ll talk about that in a sec.

I’ve decided not to keep two seperate blogs for updates and will be posting about both brands on this blog from now on. I will not be combining the subscriber groups, so if you are only subscribed to one brand, you will only recieve notifications for posts which contain relevant material. You are, of course, welcome to sign up for notifications for both.

The blog has been renamed ‘Kitheres and Organica’, which more accurately reflects my branding on Marketplace, however in-world both brands will operate as usual. Over the next few weeks, I will be sorting out proper categories for existing Organica posts and recently imported Kitheres posts, so hopefully things will remain organized and accessible to all.

With that said, let’s get to the new releases!

Kitheres:

Spatterdashery Boots are named such because they include a belt-bound spat along the length of the lower leg, covering the ankle region and reaching upwards, providing added material for the wearer.  These grungey boots are great for everyday wear and especially optimized for use in crowds due to their relatively low draw weight compared to comparable sculpt products. Available in three colours, these boots are 100% mesh modelled and textured from scratch. Left unrigged for easy resizing, the boots are mod/copy and contain removable resizer scripts – so you can use the script to resize the boots for you if you’re not confident with building things (then remove the script once you’re done) or you can remove the script entirely and just resize the boots as needed using build tools.

Organica:

Organica has joined Spruce Up Your Space and will be a participating merchant this weekend!

This Elm tree is wonderfully lush and detailed – it’s a great item to help create shade and atmosphere to a mature looking landscape! Full mesh, includes three foliage colours both scripted and unscripted. As this is a mesh product, you’ll need a mesh viewer to view.

This item will be available mod/copy on sale for L$150 for this weekend only! This introductory price will go away after Sunday, when I’ll add back a mod/transfer edition, so be sure to pick this one up before the sale ends! (Please note: sale is in-store only! This product will be added to the Marketplace next week 🙂 )

Other non-sale releases:

As mesh items with no transparencies, they don’t conflict with water surface rendering or other plants which use transparency, so they work really well as highlight pieces right next to the existing Cattail 1 set! This product includes two shapes for variety and each piece is 1 land impact at the size packaged. ( Buy in store ) ( Buy on Marketplace )

This new park bench is a wonderful addition to every outdoor area! Carefully modelled and textured, this bench seats and animates up to three people. Includes attachable book. Full mesh, so be sure to use a mesh capable viewer! Mod / Copy ( Buy in store ) ( Buy on Marketplace )

Land:

If you’re looking for the ideal spot for a quiet and wonderfully landscaped home, check out the land offerings below:

Some of the larger parcels have been recently vacated and have been split; they were originally offered at a larger size prior to a change in prim bonuses. As a result, I am pleased to offer four new smaller parcels in the north-east and south-east corners of the sim. They are all waterside to some degree and, located in a 1.75x prim bonus sim, all boast a healthy prim allottment. (Please note: Parcels 1A & 1B as well as 6A & 6B can be merged upon request if still available.) The details are as follows: Details and SLURLS below:

Two new releases, more land now available

Another offering in the recent line of plants suitable for tropical or indoor environments, rubber plants are so-named because they are part of a larger family of plants which excrete a milky-white latex which can be used to create rubber. This package comes with two varieties, burgundy and green. As packaged, each plant is 3 LI. The included planter (with two plants) comes out to 7LI at packaged size. This is a mesh product, so you’ll need a  mesh capable client to view. Mod, Copy, No Transfer. ( Buy in Store ) ( Buy on Marketplace )

This set of bamboo (two units pictured in vendor) is an excellent choice for landscaping tight spaces in the Japanese theme or for populating a fuller bamboo forest if you prefer. Packaged at 6LE, they are a great low impact solution to add an Eastern ambience to your home.  Mod, Copy, No Transfer ( Buy in Store ) ( Buy on Marketplace )

Additional Note: Bamboo 1 has been discounted and moved to the plant shop as it is more correctly classified grass and not a tree.

Two new furniture releases this week!

 

Based on traditional ‘kaidan dansu’, these chests and cabinets were traditionally used in tight homes that needed a compact means of reaching high places, such as a second floor or attic, without having to sacrifice storage space. As a result, kaidan dansu came about as dual function steps and storage devices.

This set includes both left and right-facing steps. Each chest is 4 prims total at the size packaged. Offered mod/copy/no transfer. This is a mesh product, so view with SL v3.0 or newer.  ( Buy in Store ) ( Buy on Marketplace )

This set of furniture includes paper lantern, end table, coffee table, and animated armchair and couch. The armchair seats one, couch seats two. Available in six different colours, seperately or as a fatpack. ( Buy in Store ) (Buy on Marketplace: ( white ) ( red ) ( blue ) ( tan ) ( brown ) ( black ) ( fatpack ))

New Releases – Nov 26 2011

I’ve received some requests to make winter trees available as packs outside of their usual offering for those who wish to furnish their sims for the winter season, so I’ve made two packs available;

They are divided by foliage type – deciduous (leafy) and coniferous (needle). Each pack comes with seven trees plus frosted grass. All items are sculptie. Please note: These two packs are offered as is. No updates for items contained within these two packs will be sent out unless there is some defect.

The Coniferous pack includes:

Bristlecone Pine 1 (frosted)
Bristlecone Pine 2 (frosted)
Bristlecone Pine 2 (snowy)
Bristlecone Pine 3 (frosted)

Christmas tree ornaments return to the store and will probably hang around until mid-January before they are put away for another year – they come in two varieties – star and tapered, eight colours to a box. All are mod/copy.

Check out the store for some holiday freebies as well!

 

Finally, a release unrelated to the upcoming holidays:

This ficus is the newest in the Ficus series and features a beautiful leaning trunk and detailed bark and foliage. This is a mesh product, so you’ll need SL Viewer 3.0 or newer. It is 8LI out of the box and is mod, copy, no transfer.  ( Buy in Store )( Buy on Marketplace )

Tiny Trees, Delicious Monsters and a little taste of Paradise

Three new items released this week!

Two new tropicals are available;

Known by many names, including ‘Swiss Cheese Plant’, ‘Split Leaf Plant’, Mexican Breadfruit, Ceriman, and even Delicious Monster (after the Latin name), Monstera Deliciosa are broad-leafed plants which in nature develop attachments to tropical trees and use them as a support to gain height. Domestically, they’re known as excellent low maintenance plants that do well in planters in homes, offices and commercial areas. Offered with a mesh version (small cluster of the plant set within a mesh planter) as well as a sculpt version (large cluster of plants, suited for outdoor use). The mesh version requires at minimum a mesh-capable SL Viewer such as V3.0+. Sculpts are viewable with SL 1.21 or newer. Offered mod, copy, no transfer. ( Buy in Store ) ( Buy on Marketplace )

When one thinks of exotic tropical flowers, it is hard to overlook the highly iconic Bird of Paradise plant. This plant is offered mesh only and takes up 8 LI out of the box.  Because it’s mesh, you’ll need a mesh-capable SL viewer such as V3.o or newer. Offered mod, copy, no transfer. ( Buy in Store) ( Buy at Marketplace )

A new bonsai is now available – it features classic Japanese Maple foliage which can be switched between red and green on click. This is a mesh item – you’ll need a mesh-capable viewer to see it. Offered mod, no copy, transfer and mod, copy, no transfer. ( Buy in Store ) ( Buy at Marketplace )
