Opening Gift
Hi, my name is V, and it is Friday.
This means two things: First, I am new here. I hail from TGIB, where I have been offering my creations for download and use in any grid for a while now. Second, I have contacted rexxed and got the nice invitation to post my creations here as well, so I aim to add something every Friday, starting now.
Before we get to these, let me start off on a tangent first. I’ve been a SL user for more than three years, and have been very excited about it right from the start. I had good times, and bad times, I met my partner there and had been running a small shop, but mainly was minding my own business and built blissfully away at odd things that caught my interest.
There have been a series of events – far too numerous to mention here – that, step by step, drove me away from SL, and made me look for alternatives. It was not before long that I discovered the OpenSim project, and the possibilities that it offered made me overthink some of my convictions. I spent too much time, thinking about business, licenses, fees, copyright and related issues, and in the end, I figured that it really didn’t matter to me. I didn’t want to make a business out of this. I just wanted to create things, and share them with others.
Thus, I settled with Creative Commons. All creations I publish – here, at TGIB, or anywhere else – are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 unported license. This basically means, you can do anyting with them, especially copy, share, distribute, change and use them on any grid, for any purpose, as long as you state me as the original creator if you pass them along. (“by V of tgib.co.uk” is entirely sufficient). I don’t expect anything in return, even though you can flattr me, if you like. Most of all, though, I want you to have fun with what I make.
So, for a start, I have something exclusive for rexxed readers: My very first clothes, which I made for my opening party on OSGrid. They have been available at that single event only, and are now here for you to download:
For the men: Ever 01 Opening Pants, Ever 01 Opening Shirt
For the women: Ever 01 Opening Dress Top, Ever 01 Opening Dress Bottom
Please note that the female dress requires a pseudo-skirt (a cylinder or similar prim attached to the pelvis) that needs the source dress texture (or simply use the xml file for import) to make the dress look more ‘natural’.
As a bonus, I made a little futuristic belt to go along with the dress.
I’m using the Imprudence Viewer for exporting things, so for instructions on how to import these files, please see my small tutorial. Also, no textures were hurt in making this belt.
See you next, Friday.
V
