Little big dream

Wednesday, August 18, 2010 / by

My SL dream has just come true. The one I thought I would have to wait years to happen. It is coming true as I write this sentence. I'm talking about realtime full body motion capture in Second Life. Just think about it, oh, the new horizons! Communicating with people the natural way, actually dancing in clubs, using body movement to do basically anything in SL.

You know, I was always hoping we - the people of XXI century - would strive towards more movement in front of our computers, since they are taking a huge part in nowadays life. It really makes me happy to know about this initiative. Let me show you the movie (found via Hamlet's site):



Impressive, no? Anton Bogdanovych, your work is absolutely fantastic in so many ways! I hope this project gets more attention, and by the time the software is ready to use, there will be a few companies ready to provide cheaper equipment for consumer market / personal use. This is going to be big!

New earrings at the store! I'm continuing with coins motif, cause everyone seem to like it a lot! Thus, I made matching earrings for Shimmy Shimmy anklet, both in silver and gold! I'm glad you all enjoy it so much!

New release: Summer Skybox and Dandelion, Dandelion at [MAGIC NOOK]

Sunday, August 08, 2010 / by

Please welcome a new release at the store: Summer Skybox! Pastel colours, a large window and a lot of sun - this skybox is inspired by summer!

[MAGIC NOOK] Summer Skybox

The skybox is sized about 10m x 10m x 5m and it should fit even small plots of land. It is packaged in a rezzer for easy set up. Skybox window is controlled through a scripted menu, which allows you to change inner and outer window opacity. And it's got sunlight beams too!

There is a teleport to DEMO at the store, right next to the vendor, so come and take a look!

I also released a dandelion wall decal, for just 25L$, if you're looking for one, or ever wanted to buy the one I placed at the store some time ago ;)

My shabby chic apartment

Friday, August 06, 2010 / by

I have this thing with interiors in SL, that whenever I start decorating, I end up with shabby chic style. I love it all - white wood, soft floral fabrics, vintage accessories... Plus, I adore all things country when it comes to home decor. No wonder this theme often sneaks in :)

I recently switched to a smaller and more cosy skybox, which I built myself, and which by the way I am going to release in my store very very very soon (update: it's released now!). And you can definitely notice shabby-chic-country-love influence in my decor. But I really like it - it's so mine and so comfy! In fact, I like it so much, that I'm going to submit it to 'Tiny, cozy space' contest organized by SL House & Garden Group.

Enjoy the pictures, and if you happen to like the items I used, you will find credits below.
