I have been on the team building the DAZ Island which belongs to DAZ3D, a 3D asset and software company in real life, building a presence in Second Life. This is the DAZ Gallery which showcases artwork created by their customers using any number of models or software applications to create the works on display.

The goal was to use and make things based on DAZ product where possible. In the instance of this grand plaza, I based it on the feel from some of their Spanish-looking assets. With the permission of Moyra, who created the original textures for the 3D products, I repurposed the textures on the prim and sculpted pieces I created in Second Life and utilizing Luxology’s Modo and, in some cases, DAZ|Carrara. I also created textures where needed using photographs, Painter and Photoshop. I designed the mall to be as open as possible, making it camera-friendly and welcoming.  

 Oh, yes, and I have one of my The Oh! Factor stores here.

This 19-prim fountain is mostly sculpted down to the water flowing over the lips of the sculpted fountain basin. The water in both basins were additionally sculpted to conform to the unique shapes of the basins. It’s one of my favorite creations.

    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 [...]

    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 [...]
