Hello again, Friday.

Clothing must be the biggest market in the metaverse, and it’s easy to understand why: Everyone needs them. Not everyone needs houses, or furniture, or whatever else there is to be had, but everyone would want to be dressed. There are two approaches to make clothes: Layers and attachments. Nowadays, most clothes are a mixture of the two, but using sculpt meshes for clothing makes for a more ‘natural’ approach, as they won’t look as flat as layers. Thus, I made my first experiments with sculpted clothes this week, and for you good people, here’s a rexxed denim version of them. Enjoy.

P.S.: Anyone who doesn’t like the rexxed print on the bra can just change its texture to the one of the panties (or even edit that to make their own print on them). As usual, please refer to the tutorial on how to import these exports.

See you, next Friday.

Oh my, is it friday again?

Well, then – I rambled a little about windows and doors this week, and so I guess it’s only fair to provide some solution here. Whenever I came back to SL, I found a real nice house then, which I liked a lot. The architecture was very good, the size was just right, and the textures were decent. It only sucked for the doors, so I created a set of sculpted doors and windows to fit.

Until next, Friday.

Hello Friday, this is V.

The Second Life default avatar mesh is a rather crude one, and while the good people at RealXtend are working hard on bringing good avatar meshes to you, many OpenSim grids just support the default avatars. Thus, over time, several sculpted additions have been made to enhance the realism of your avatar. Sculpted toes come to mind, and so do fingernails. Due to female pressure I recently created a set of prim nails for import, and wrote a tutorial on how to make your own custom nail designs.

In addition to that, and exclusively to Rexxed, I’ve got something special for you: A set of sculpted prim claws for all your neko needs.

Hello Friday, it’s me.

I’ve been playing with Blender recently, discovering some really neat stuff to do with it. While I’m still a newbie at blendering, I’m slowly starting to get comfortable with the interface and start finding my way around. But first, something completely different.

One thing I found people are looking for on the web are sculpt maps. Not really complicated stuff, just sculpt maps for very simple things, like stairs. Sculpts are perfect for these purposes, as you can save quite a lot of prims that way, and so I have made a set of sculpted stairs with some instructions on how to use them.

And now, to bring back in blender, another nice thing with sculpts is to give some ‘natural’ look to things, something that can’t easily be achieved with using regular SL prims. How, where and why do we need natural looking things? Well, with everything organic, everything soft, and everything… wavy. In short, cloth.

So here, for your enjoyment, I’m sharing my first blender experiments on soft sculpties with you. Have a pack of table cloth.

You should follow the instructions on my stairs entry about how to use these sculpts. Especially remember to set stitching to plane, otherwise they’ll look odd. You will find that only one ’side’ of the cloth is visible, while it seems to be transparent from underneath. This is due to the nature of the plane stitch. To make a ‘two-sided’ cloth, shift-drag the cloth slightly downwards to make a copy of it, then select ‘inside-out’ underneath the sculpt texture in Edit. You will now have a matching underbelly for your cloth.

As usual, stuff is CC licensed.

Enjoy,
