Welcome to darkwatch.me

Welcome to my shiny new domain! http://www.darkwatch.me/

I’ve been contemplating having my own domain for a long time, so I thought it was about time for a change. I’ve switched to Blogger as opposed to WordPress, simply out of convenience. WordPress would have charged me more to use my own domain name, while Blogger remains free. Besides, I don’t really need all the functionality of WordPress, so Blogger is more than enough for my needs.

With the move, I will also be slowly updating my store and store blog. http://tdcreations.darkwatch.me/

I want to go back and update some of the pictures as I relist things, and update the inworld store at the same time. In addition, some of my older mesh models I want to try to update, based on things I’ve learned in Blender over the couple years working with it. This is no small task, especially considering my time has become much more limited lately.

For this blog, I’d like to get back to posting things here. I want to write about my own struggles and triumphs. Thoughts and ideas that I might have. Reflections on things going on. Maybe even some creative writing in the mix. Again, there are a lot of ideas, but no clear focused plans as of yet. There is a potential possibility of some more adult themed content. If I decide to have anything like that, I will create a new blog that will be marked as adult content, and make a mention of the new post here. As I don’t have any clear direction on what exactly I want to do yet, I will announce that update if and when it comes. One thing I do know, while there may be posts related to Second Life, this will not be an exclusively Second Life blog.

I guess my first step will be to get some plans and priorities in order, and see where that leads.

Tiki Torches

Tiki Torches

The tiki torches are simple mesh torches that you can light or extinguish with a click. There are three types of tiki torches included, all very low land impact.

Single Tiki Torch – 1 LI.
Dual Tiki Torch – 2 LI.
Tri Tiki Torch – 2 LI.

The torches come with copy and modify permissions. The torch may say no modify, but that is only because the torch script is no modify.

Wrought Iron Fencing

Wrought Iron Fencing

The Wrought Iron Fencing is a set of fences that can be linked together to fit any land needs. It contains 34 individual fencing components that are 100% mesh. Each piece is 0.5LI in weight, so you can link two together and still only be at 1LI. The high quality LOD does not break down when you move away from the fence either, keeping its shape much better than even sculpts will.

The fencing contains the following individual components:

  • Small (1m in height) in lengths of 1m, 2m, 3m, 4m, 5m, 6m, 7m and 8m.
  • Tall (1.5m in height) in lengths of 1m, 2m, 3m, 4m, 5m, 6m, 7m and 8m.
  • Sloped (1m to 1.5m in height) in lengths of 1m, 2m, 3m, 4m, 5m, 6m, 7m and 8m.
  • Angled (1m to 1.5m to 1m in height) in lengths of 1m, 2m, 3m, 4m, 5m, 6m, 7m and 8m.

Also included are two individual posts, one small, one tall, to act as end pieces if necessary.

The fencing is copy/mod, so you can adjust them to fit your unique needs and style.

Modern Steps and Glass Railing

Modern Steps and Glass Railing

The Modern Steps and Glass Railings are 100% mesh building components ideal for your modern home or patio. They are copy/mod, so if you want a solid railing instead of glass, you can easily change the textures. Each individual component has a 0.5 land impact, so you can connect two pieces together and it will still be 1 LI. You can even stretch the straight railing without changing the land impact costs.

There are multiple items included in this set:

  • TD Creations – Modern Glass Railing: 0.5 LI
  • TD Creations – Modern Glass Railing (Assembled): Railing with Two Unscripted Light Posts: 2 LI
  • TD Creations – Modern Glass Railing Steps (3): 0.5 LI
  • TD Creations – Modern Glass Railing Steps (7): 0.5 LI
  • TD Creations – Modern Railing Post: 0.5 LI
  • TD Creations – Modern Railing Post with Lights: Includes a Light Script (see below): 0.5 LI
  • TD Creations – Modern Railing Post with Lights (No Script): 0.5 LI
  • TD Creations – Modern Steps (3): 0.5 LI
  • TD Creations – Modern Steps (3) (Assembled): Steps, Step Railings, and Four Unscripted Light Posts: 4 LI
  • TD Creations – Modern Steps (7): 0.5 LI
  • TD Creations – Modern Steps (7) (Assembled): Steps, Step Railings, and Four Unscripted Light Posts: 4 LI

The Light Script works by owner touch. It has three states: On, Off, and Timed. The timed setting will turn on and off depending on whether the sim sun is on day or not. It is not affected by viewer windlight changes, if you manually change your viewer from day to night. It is not recommended that you use too many scripted light posts in your build. Linking multiple scripted light posts could increase your LI.

Old Wood Sign Post

Old Wood Sign Post

These old fashioned wood directional signs are 100% mesh. Each sign is only 0.5 LI, so linking two signs is still only 1 LI. These were designed to make it easy to add your text, without needing to recreate the wood texture of the sign itself. Each sign has a texture face on top of the wood that can be selected, and your text can be added on top of the sign itself.

The included sample sign post is a total of 3LI in weight, and the post is a simple prim. You can unlink the signs from the sign post and use them however you desire.

Texturing the sign to add your own text is easy. Just select the texture face on the front and/or the back of the sign, being careful not to select the entire face. Then add your text image to the texture face. It will apply the text like paint over the wood.

Hanging Sign

Hanging Sign

This hanging sign is 100% Mesh and only 1LI when linked with the included post. It is modify and copy, so you can use as many as you need, and change the sign as desired. There are seven different texture faces, including the front and the back of the sign as separate texture faces. The sign and the post can be unlinked, allowing the sign to be hung from ceilings, overhangs, or whatever you might want to hang it from.
