Changes in store assortment: many items dropped, some items added

The assortment of items that can be purchased in my in-world store has changed. I've noticed that in my old store there were too many things to choose from. This made it hard for people to decide what to use. Added together, there was a staggering number of 231 items in my old store.

All Version 4 landscapes, that were originally released in 2009 and 2010, are now only available in single All-In-One items. You can select the landscape you want (and change its textures etcetera) by using the HUD. Because you cannot choose a cheaper single version anymore, I've lowered the price of the All-In-One items considerably. There is still one very popular original sim surround available in a 'Lite' edition: no HUD, but still copyable.

All original (version 4) land level landscapes; four All-in-One items and one 'Lite' surround

I don't distinguish between Gold, Silver and Bronze version 5 landscapes anymore. All are now copyable and have a HUD to change scenes and textures. Previously these would have been called Gold. The most popular ones (the Yosemite, Grand Canyon and Tropics landscapes) are also available in a 'Lite' edition: they have no HUD, but are copyable. This is better than the previously called Bronze landscapes, because these weren't copyable. That makes the best ones available for people with less financial means.

All 'Lite' surrounds and some version 5 land level landscapes. Touch the pictures and see what they look like in the pit

New in the assortment are the Version 6 full sim surround landscapes. All new ones are copyable with a HUD, that allows for season and texture change. Three scenes are also available in a 'Lite' edition: copyable, but without the possibility to change them. Read more about them in this blog post.

All recently added version 6 fulol sim surrounds, including the (orange) 'Lite' version of some of them

In my store there now are 79 items available (43 sky landscapes, 36 land level landscapes), including 11 new version 6 surrounds. That should make it a lot easier for you to find what you need!

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

New release: the Summer mirror box (cubic and rectangular)

Image
Today I'm releasing a new mirror box with 50 new non-Winter scenes. This mirror box is available in a cubic end a rectangular shape. For creating the scenes (all done inside Second Life, using my own creations) I've mostly used my latest Mega sim surrounds as a backdrop: Alpine Ridge, Mount Fuji, Cuesta Galore and Tarn Valley. There are Spring, Summer and Autumn scenes. Most are daytime and sunset scenes, and some are nighttime scenes. Just go through them to see what you like. These new Summer boxes make use of Experience tools to automatically let you and your friends enjoy environment settings that match the current scene. You should switch this feature on in the Options menu of the mirror box, allow the "Mirror and Backdrop Box Environment Settings" on your land/region and you should enable the Use Shared Environment option in your viewer.  When you click through all scenes your settings will change accordingly. On top of this feature, you will also find the match

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
