The in-world store has moved to land level

Today I opened my new store on Landscapes Unlimited. During the last few years, my store was in the sky, and consisted of wooden terraces surrounded by a sky landscape. From now on, the store will be at ground level. All people arriving on my sim will land on the top of a rocky island, covered by a pine forest. This island, completely made of mesh, is surrounded by the brand new Hebrides sim surround landscape. Read more about my latest sim surrounds in this blog post.

The mesh island with the store in the middle, the new Hebrides surround around it

A path on the Eastern side leads you down to several stone terraces with my products. Five terraces have a pit in the middle, where you can see a tiny version of the landscapes that can be purchased at that particular terrace. You can click the pictures on the boards, and the demo will change accordingly.

In pits like these you can see what the landscape on the pictures looks like in 3D

I've brought down the number of items that can be purchased in my shop. You can find more information in this blog post. What it comes down to, is that you can still find everything I had previously, but it may now be part of an All-In-One item. From 231 items in my old store, the new one has now only 79 items. This includes 11 just released version 6 surrounds. This change should make it a lot easier for you to find what you want.

The hot air balloon is doing its tours again around the store and surroundings. Hop in and enjoy!

The mesh island in the middle will become more interesting over the next few months. You can already enjoy a ride in the hot air balloon, or sit on a bench and admire the view with a friend. Soon there will be a boat that you can steer around the island. Every now and then I will add new features. I'm planning to make a small fishing village, roads with hairpin curves, winding up the steep slopes, tunnels, an occasional waterfall, secluded beaches and a labyrinth of caves and tunnels. Since the ground is made of mesh, this should all be possible. I'd like to make a really nice place where people come to relax with their friends and enjoy some of the beauty Second Life has to offer.

NEW Solid Sky Landscapes: sim-wide solid mesh merging into a surrounding, off-sim sculpted landscape

Image
After several months of work I've finally finished the first six landscapes of a completely new type. I call them Solid Sky Landscapes. Peaky Islands Solid Sky Landcsape These sky landscapes are perfect for easily creating an additional level high above ground level, with a naturally shaped solid surface that almost looks like regular sim land. You can use them on full sims and homesteads. They only have a land impact of 80-160 (depending on the configuration you choose) so land impact shouldn't be a problem! The Six Lakes solid sky landscape... ...with the solid mesh part in the middle, highlighted for this picture by "glow" Two solid sky landscapes are already on display, and all six of them will be available in my store this weekend or at the beginning of next week. Solid sky landscapes consist of two parts: a solid mesh part within and a sculpted mega prim part outside the sim borders. These are their properties: The mesh on-sim part: The me...

Version 6 Sim Surrounds now in Sky edition

Image
By the end of 2016 I finished a new set of sim surround landscapes (version 6.0). These landscapes are now available in a sky edition, in three sizes: Large (1x1 km), Medium (250x250 m) and Small (125x125 m). Sweetwater Valley - Autumn Tropcal Paradise It took quite some time to develop these, especially because the new type of water that I wanted to use ( see also this blogpost ) required  lots of changes in several landscape and HUD scripts. This is also why the HUD was updated to version 6.1: previous HUD's won't work on these sky landscapes. Gorges du Verdon with functioning HUD 6.1 When rezzing the Medium and Small editions you will get a menu that helps you to rez a naturally shaped and textures solid mesh platform in the middle. You can bring up this menu afterwards too by touching the landscape for at least five seconds. Mesh terrain and menus The mesh platforms themselves have a menu to change the texture to another season. They are copy-m...

Introducing: The Mirror Box

Image
Time for some true innovation in Second Life! Today I'm introducing a completely new version of an already existing kind of item in SL: a skybox made of flat screens, and I'm calling it The Mirror Box. Reflections, even at low graphics settings As far as I can tell, two aspects are completely different from what's currently on the market: The pictures for the screens were all taken in Second Life itself. You can see Second Life skies and clouds on them, and the landscapes you see are also images of 3D landscapes of Landscapes Unlimited in SL; Halfway in the box is an animated water texture. Below it, the box is textured in a way that makes it appear as if the water completely and naturally reflects the sky and landscape images. Because this mirror effect of the water is so striking and convicing, I'm calling the box The Mirror Box. The Mirror Box from a distance, with menu The Mirror Box comes in ten sizes, ranging from 32x32x32 m till 1x1x1 km. All ...
