Hey! It's been a while, I've been busy! I'm working on making new clothing. If I could I think I would seriously abandon all of my other ambitions in life and put everything I have into designing clothes. It's so much fun to picture something and create it in 2D and then be able to wear it 3D.

Right now I think I'm concentrating on making things that I want for myself... and I'm kind of a lounge wear tomboy. I think it's a nice balance to the sexy feminine things you would normally find at BOOM. So in a way, I'm not just making clothes.. I am sharing who I am as a person and I really appreciate such a positive response :) It's been an enjoyable experience.

Thank you to all who purchased the Slink Suki Geta shoes on the 18th of March! Your contribution helped me make a donation of $100 AUD to the Australian Red Cross for their Japan and Pacific disaster relief fund! Not bad at all, for 40% of a single style for a single 24 hour period

(disclaimer – the Suki Geta were offering a 60% group member refund for the 24 hour period 18th March. The donation is the (rounded up) full amount of the proceeds on the Geta, once the group discount refunds were subtracted from the total value)

ただ広げただけで特になにも変わってません(笑

お店の庭で使っている売り物ではないものを売って欲しいという問い合わせが多いため、
今回は散歩道を商品化してみました。
(※オーダー・カスタマイズ等は承っておりませんので、問い合わせれば必ず商品化するというわけではありませんが、貴重なご意見として参考にさせていただいております＾＾)

組み合わせて長い道を作りたい方用のアイテムです。

▼Stone path [A]

▼Stone path [B]

自分のお庭に合わせて設置する向きも違ってくるので、
パーツを組み合わせた際に隣り合ったテクスチャの方向やつなぎ目が気になる方は
編集→材質→面ごとに繰り返す→水平・垂直の反転のチェック欄→レ点の有無で調整してください。
並べたパーツ自体の流れに大きなズレがない限り、つなぎ目がわからないようなきれいな仕上がりになります。
(テクスチャの数値やズレなど、デフォルトのままいじらない場合に限ります。)

▼Soil-mini box　苔土と沃土が入った箱　(各1L$)

使える用途が不明な箱に入った土ですが。。。
修正可能なので、なにかに使ってやってください(笑

And then he went AFK

By Strawberry Singh

— March 31, 2011 at 3:12 am

Okay, so I know I said I was going to blog a neat new gadget soon but to be honest I haven’t had the chance to get to it yet so I thought I’d throw these up here for now. It’s not every day I can convince Mr. Revolution to pose with me. Normally it takes a lot of begging, pleading and sometimes threatening (although I think he rather enjoys that). But I did convince him to actually change his clothes and sit on the ball quietly for a few minutes. Of course what did he do then? HE WENT AFK! So much for spending some quality photo taking time together. :P

These adorable poses along with many more will be available starting April 1st at the oOo Studio location at Pose Fair. The location to Pose Fair will be announced when it opens on Friday, April 1st. For now you can follow the Pose Fair plurk if you are on plurk and here is the list of vendors that will be participating.

I’m planning to blog more in the next few days so wish me luck that I don’t drown in work! <3

Create a Transparent image using Alpha Channels – Bird Decal Textures

By Amisha March

— March 29, 2011 at 10:52 pm

Creating alpha channels is dead easy but is one of the most important things to know if you create in Second Life and not just for clothes designers. Alphas can be used for displaying your logo, creating semi-transparent fabric for drapes, shadows prims, windows, fret work, the list is endless.

I’m totally loving all the wall decals out and about at the moment so if you want to have a go at creating the birdy alpha texture in the above picture to put on your wall, grab one or both of the images at the bottom of the post. You’ll also need the Solidify filter, which can be found over at Flaming Pear (scroll down to the Free Plug ins and install the one called Solidify – I use Solidify B. There is also a great help section at the top of the page!)

Now we are all set, as you can see from the image below I created the bird image in illustrator and pasted it into Photoshop so it comes without a background,

if you are using a different image or have downloaded the bird images to use they have a white background and we need to extract it first…..

1. Not necessary but a good habit to get into is to copy the original layer (so you have a back up if anything goes wrong). Make sure the top image is highlighted.

2. Using the Magic Wand Tool click on the white background.

3. Press ctrl + x to delete the background. (You might need to repeat the process to make sure all the white bits have disappeared)

Next hold ctrl and click on the thumbnail image of the birds in the layer tab (this will select the image)

Now with the image selected go to the channels tab and create a new channel by pressing the icon at the bottom (circled in red) – Everything should go black!

Still working in your new alpha channel, take a large brush and make sure the colour is set to white, brush over the entire image.

Go back to your layers tab and click on the bird layer so it returns to normal and deselect (ctrl + d) and there is your alpha channel!…but what about that white/grey halo around the edges when you upload in Second Life. No problem, with the bird layer selected go to filter – Flaming Pear – Solidify……

The image should look something like this…….

If you are using the coloured bird image, repeat the process to create an alpha channel, only this time when you apply the filter the image should look like ……

The colours appear to blur out! Robin Wood gives an excellent explanation of how alpha channels and the filter work. Most definitely worth a visit for lots of helpful hints and tips!

Now all that is left is to save your image as a tga file – (Important, click the 32 bits/pixel option when the box appears) – press okay.

Log into Second Life and upload the image(s). Build a box and make the whole thing transparent (type in ALPHA into the search box in your inventory), now place the bird alpha texture onto just the front of the prim, adjust the size as necessary.

Below I have duplicated and flipped the silhouette bird texture….

Any questions just leave a comment and you can of course pick up the ready made alpha textures over at Insight Designs or have a go at making your own using the images below :)

Whee! Finally back to blogging, I think. RL’s been really busy again. I’m such a sucker for lovely shaped sculpted skirts in SL and Azure does some of my favorites. This Romper Dress from her new brand, -LaViere- has a really lovely shape. I went a little crazy remixing it as seen below. -LaViere- also offers many other lovely items available so do check them out here! Machang has also returned from her mini-break and has been churning out awesome-filled shoes and clothes these past few weeks just in time for spring. I’m drooling all over her latest boots. <3 Do check them out here too (:
