Kerwin’s Musings And Other Discoveries
Lovecraft Forest was sold today. It was fun while it lasted, but I’ll be concentrating my work on part of the new Caledon Sim, Caledon Glengarry. SL is a dynamic place and the need for a personal sim no longer fit with my future plans. I’ll still be involved in SL’s community and occasionally reviewing new SL gadgets as they come to my attention.
Well, I couldn’t resist the charms of the new Kani Rabbit from Lost Forest Creatures. So I’m currently trying out a look, in basic black.
Spring is almost here and time for more plantings in and around Lovecraft Forest. Outy Banjo has put out a nice system for flowers and grass called “Ground Cover Flowers V2.4“. The big news is that its now available in a copy/no-transfer version for L$1350 (a little more than $5 USD). Like all of Outy’s particle wonders, this one is well built and easy to set up. Here’s Kerwin with some of the flowers now at the south forest gate:
Mathue’s work on the power house is really paying off! Lots on textures and a complete engine now powers the lighthouse in the southwest corner of the forest. Stop on by!
Shore waves really add to the look of a seaside sim. Lovecraft Forest has been employing a nice little kit from Ante Flan, aptly named Waves V2. The kit is pretty much is dummy proof, just place and drop along your shore. It comes with both simple “washing” waves and well as classic rolling waves. Different spray particle generators can touch up piers and docks for a realistic splashing action against solid in-water objects. Well worth the L$700, available both at SLExchange and Ante’s in-world store. Ante includes complete instructions as well as sound files.
