Gion Project 01

There has been a lot of blog press coverage of this new sim, Gion, in Second Life and deservedly so.  The place is beautiful, inspired by the Gion district in Japan.  There is an abundance of detail displayed in the prim architecture as well as the extremely well-done textures.  Towering in the distance is this very large pagoda, imposing and elegant, and wonderfully silhouetted against the sea behind it.  The wood, in its various uses, has great character, from the cranes on the guard rails to the pocked wood of the rafters.

The sim is welcoming guests with gifts that vary from simple, little fans, to full dress kimonos for male and female. On top of that there is a scavenger hunt with some very nice prizes to be found. You can find information at the Gion Project page. Be warned, there are false keys to counter the true one, so have fun.

  • tama motors September 7, 2009
    VROOOOMMM! TAMA and Tiny TAMA have added Motorcycles and motorcycle parts to their product lines.  We have a brand-spanking-new store to display our wares which I based on the design of the old Sinclair Gas Stations.  The nifty shapes seemed perfect when I kept the garage open and added more window space to the parts side.  [...]

  • jaffas and easter egg hunts, oh my! March 3, 2009
    We premiered the Tiny Horus Jaffa this week at Tiny TAMA.  This is an exquisite set with a sculpted helmet that animates down.  The texturing is quite beautiful on it and the more egyptian style outfit to go with it that is more in keeping with the Stargate film.  The standard version (300L$) has a [...]

  • games, faeries and a tiny night on the town January 16, 2009
    Sometime ago, I asked a good friend of mine, Kenn Nilsson, if he could create a script for me to do some games at Tiny TAMA.  The game was incredibly fun and the tinies had a blast.  Kenn created the script to allow for creativity and variety.  The first time we played the game, we [...]

    Ghoulishly good fun can be had with this animated sculpted pumpkin! The lid pops open and out sneak the charred bony fingers of a fiendish ghoul, propping the lid to survey the land for victims. Could it be YOU?! This pumpkin animates on rezzing, and loops with a short peek and a [...]
