Rustic Wood Textures for Sculpties

I blame Trowa for this one!  He wanted a white color one.  Vix.. well, she made them.  They do look very nice on squared-typed sculpties and bring out the details.  Tables, trugs, crates, bookcases - You get the idea. : )

7 colors, 4 shades of each should do ya!

 These textures are all shaded, therefore they are not tileable without the shading line showing - thought you should know that. : )  But check out what IS textured with it!  

See?  Looks great on sculpties.  But what happened here?!!

Even complex looking sculpties can benefit from this texture.

 These are general texturing defaults for a couple of sculpty programs.  They will work 90% of the time or more.  If the texture needs tweaking work the repeats by 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and so forth.  The offset miiiiight need to be changed, although I've not had to in all my experiments.  Change it by .05 increments until you have the shading set.  Texturing is pretty much a personal qualitative thing, so whatever looks good to you, is right!  : )  Some geek-speek:

Suggested Texture defaults:
Blender Texture Default settings:
Repeats U:4.0000 V:64.00000
Rotation 0*
Offset U:0.5000 V:0.5000

SculptCrafter Texture defaults:
Repeats U:256.0000 V:4.00000
Rotation 0*
Offset U:0.5000 V:0.5000
 
There are plenty of examples in the Trowix barn & yard.  Come see!  


Hooray, Hooray, it's the first of May! 
or nearly. 

Carpenter's Toolbox - Toss all your junk here

It had to be done.  All those pots, tools, flowers and shiny pebbles needed a place to call home.  In keeping with the gardening theme Trowa made a rustic look crafted carrier or toolbox or trug or toss-it-all-in-here-thing.  ..because I was running out of pockets and it holds annnnything!  
  

Pegged details & LOD2 make this sculptie pretty amazing.

All cozy by the fire on cool spring nights.

Plants? Check. Tools? Check. 

  
A classic design useful for role-play, antique, modern, shabby - very useful item.
Get it at Trowix little barn and on Second Life Marketplace. 

Don't just make it!  Make it cute!  : )

Check out these sexy gams!

Fantasy Field Flowers! ^^ Textures!

Sometimes when you can't find what what you want, you just have to make it yourself!  Which is how this texture pack came into being.  Whimsically sweet daisies and tender grasses in pastels and bolds designed especially for meadows, fields and flower sculpted bases.  

Loads of happy colors to use or mix and match!

 

Made for fun, these flowers can look remarkably realistic.

  
They were made for the large meadow base, but look equally well on the Flower base clumps. 

!! These are so much fun - new flowers at a whim. : )

 Hoping you all have a wonderful week!  
Thanks for stopping by!
 

New! Hand Garden Tools Sculpt Pack

I'm so digging this sculpt pack -- argh, okay, back to the details.

Finally!  After so many garden bits and bobs, Trowa and Vix come up with something good.  Something a bot can really get his hands into -- tools!  

4 tools, crafted to be LOD2 and 8 baked & fitted textures.  Highly realistic looking sculpts. And the textures will give you just the right amount of shiny or left-in-the-shed rust look.  But don't take my word for it, have a look! 

Don't these look exactly like the tools your kids lost last summer?

Classic hand tool shapes work for most eras & RPs.

All 8 textures shown, but try your own, they texture beautifully!

Hooray for "real" chores in SL!  
Come dig-it at Trowix barn or get a special delivery from Marketplace .

Don't forget the Group Gift is still out if you haven't picked yours up! 

A pleasant Sunday to you.  : )

April Group Gift - 50s Retro Frames

As a thank-you for our loyal customers.  <3!! 
Two frames, one with stand and one without, just add your own prim and texture and you have a sweet keepsake or gift. I've added a cute little circa 1952 pinup just for fun... but it might be more fun to make your own! 

Just add a prim and your favorite pinup!  Girl or Guy ;p

Gramma was a hottie!  O_O!!

 Don't forget to drop any pinups of yourself or a friend in the front mailbox so I can blog you and put *your* picture in the store! If you don't, I'll do a 'bot pinup!  ...and you don't want to see that.
We keep a PG store, so please PG13ish type pictures - Thanks! 

 Get 'em here at Trowix barn.

Fluorescent Lighting always and all ways

Oh noes!  Seems like you just can't get away from these.. fixtures, not in RL and not in SL.  Truthfully, I hate lights like this!  But, I've not seen a better (or any) sculpted pack of fluorescent lights in SL.  

These sculpts are made with creators in mind.  They can be 1 prim with included texture or 2 prims with your own artfully rusted or enameled texture.  They will scale to tall ceilings ..in a single bound (ugh, but couldn't resist).  They come with 6 sculpt maps, 1 shadow map and 2 textures. In all seriousness, this sculpt pack should be everything you need, and more, for fluorescent fixtures you want to make.  The possibilities for workshop, garage, office, home are virtually endless.   

Here they are, in all their industrial beauty. 1, 2 & 3 prim variations

 As always, Vix had to Test-Drive them:

In the barn awaiting your inspection - only one prim!  Yay!

In the shed made as a grow light with lovely rust.

No distortion hung at 16m - just use the separate hanger.

If you prefer flush fixtures, we have those, too!

Trowix, your lighting shop! 

Twoday I thot I wud try some thing elz

*smiles*  
... somedays you just wonder...

Now we go get some tea and watch the window!  
...in sculpted armor! 
 

Clay Flowerpot Groups Sculpt Pack ~ Designer Clutter

Every garden, greenhouse and potting bench needs flowerpots. LOTS of them. Stacked and tumbled, tossed and planted.  This is a great way to add some realistic clutter for a very few prims.  At 4 pots per prim, no garden build should be without.. pots! 

Lookie!

A total of 5 groups of LOD2 flowerpots - that's a lot of .. pots.

 A couple of pretties made with the pack:

5 prims of flowerpots ready to plant.

Our kind of "country living". 

Happy Weekend! 
Run by the barn if you have a chance.
