Been trying to find some good fantasy like kitchens. Dysfunctional has some but... they're not functional. A lot of other places go in for overly dark tones which is not the aesthetic I'm looking for. I am not sure what a "fantasy" kitchen is tbh. I just used this Brocante one. It will be cute when I add the kitchen knickknacks and food stuff. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get my exterior shell to snug in just below that layer, but unfortunately, the shell is then so close to the layer below that it flashes when the camera is pulled out. The cut is too tight. Here: When I change that Y coordinate from 211.003 to 211.0 it's still above the glow - but at 211.0 it flashes. At 210.999 it is below the layer. Can't get below the glow without being in "camera flash" territory. In this case I am making that picture about half transparent to get an effect that doesn't flash: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would need someone who's more familiar with Fantasseria (maybe @Polenth Yue?) to nail down the seasonal dates and colors (or textures?). I bet the Lindens do this by sending a message to Fantasseria's servers when it's time to change the seasons. Blush, you would probably choose to hard-code the season dates in the shells. I'm undecided how I'll do colours, though I'll likely make a tintable one so people can sort it that way. This is because it's debatable which colour/shade would be best (and likely different depending on the decor around the house). I've listed the main one first, but there are variations in shades between items and summer has some very different colours. You won't be entirely sure what shades the treehouse will be until you've seen all the seasons. (Non-glowing parts and items also change colour and those colours aren't always the glow colour.) Spring (March / April / May) - Green Summer (June / July / August) - Yellow / Pink / Peach Autumn (Sept / Oct / Nov) - Orange Winter (Dec / Jan / Feb) - Light Blue The exact crossover of the season is technically ending the last day of the last month in the season and starting on the first day of the first month. The time I saw it happen, it was before midnight rather than on the dot. In a similar way, you'll notice not everything switches to night mode at the exact same time and some items can get out of sequence.

UnilWay SpiritWeaver Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) I ended up with a popular kitchen from Dysfunctionality with is... dysfunctional (no activity scripts, just a color change script I removed after picking colors). This isn't exactly fantasy - but it still looked like a better fit to the tree houses than the usual stuff in SL which looks like it was made for Skyrim. In time I will add in animations from my old kitchen - but that rezzes props like cutting boards which are scripted to delete if rezzed out of something different (jerk move) - so I need to hunt down props first. Also: The counter on the right has the bottles and fruit bowls as part of the same mesh as the countertop. I need to find a matching counter somewhere for some more counter space. Now I am on to making the living room furniture less modern and more in theme. Edited October 31, 2023 by UnilWay SpiritWeaver 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eowyn Southmoor Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) Had a wander found the fantasy theme to see how many people have swapped over to the new treehouses. Seems like quite a few have already, and looking really good too, in general. Which leads me to a question regarding the covenant. I think the rule is currently that you cant build any kind of structure more than 15m above the ground of your parcel. I'm wondering if builds like this below are going to be acceptable in the treehouses Edited October 31, 2023 by Eowyn Southmoor added pic 1 5 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Privacy walls or fences should match the theme and extend no more than 4m above ground level. All other structures should not extend higher than 15m above ground level or sea level, whichever is higher. Add-ons to homes themselves should not be taller than 5m above the tallest point of the roofline of the home." aaaand... "Linden Homes should be kept presentable and in-theme to their unique areas."

Moles Abnor Mole Posted October 31, 2023 Moles Share Posted October 31, 2023 The 5m amendment was added to the covenant when the Treehouses were deployed to allow for people to build add ons to their treehouses without breaking the 15m above ground rule. It also allows for add ons to the rest of the houses even if the house itself is already close to 15m. The 5m above the roofline rule only applies if the total height is above 15m. (i.e. a house model that is only 5m tall can have an add on that is 10m rather than 5m.) 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was thinking last night that without that rule tweak even having a rug in your living room would be a violation as the floor itself is 15m above ground. (That said I had always thought the rule was 15m above your rooftop and not above ground - luckily I'd never put up added floors so it was never an issue for me.

UnilWay SpiritWeaver Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Speaking of sticking to theme. I'm slowly rebuilding the interior of my home to be in theme. But now I need suggestions for ground vehicles. I have a motorbike out on the lawn - I want to replace it with a fantasy vehicle that "fits". But my Land Impact budget for this is extremely tight. The current bike uses 8 LI. I have 47 left but am likely to burn half of that in the item swaps I'm doing inside or I'd just rez my Teegle FFXIV Chocobo bird (which burns up 40 LI just being there... ouch). Years ago when Steampunk was one of the largest communities in SL this would be easy - and I still see their stuff on MP but half of it is pre-mesh. Some even looks suspiciously pre-sculpty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While searching for a fantasy replacement to my modern living room and bedroom, I found another shop that has fantasy to "vintage" to modern stuff (in three sections with some slight crossover). "Velvet Whip" (that's their SLURL inworld). Mostly very low Land Impact AND low cost but seems to hold up LOD wise when I cam around it. They even had an 'undersea bed' I might pick up for my houseboat lot where I often use a mermaid look - if I get ideas for a mermaid build under the water. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabid Cheetah Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Tree houses? Hmmmmm...why not just build your own? I did that over two years ago, any time I rolled a home with LL-owned trees on the parcel. Of course mine were more the Calvin and Hobbes definition of a tree house. Just two prims: One for the floor (stretched cube to squeeze it into a flat rectangle, with a hole in it for entry), one for the walls (cube with a giant hole in it so it lacks a roof), and a simple wood texture from either a Linden pack or the original textures the viewers provide. So, OK, more of a tree FORT than a tree home. But I even threw one into each tree on my trailer parcel near Lake Whateveritscalled and the Whateveritscalled "Grand Lodge" (hey, it's been two years since I owned any parcel in this game, so I forget the names of places). Then I connected them all with a rope 'n' plank bridge mod-yes/copy-yes I got cheap off the Marketplace to create an overhead walkway network between each of the tree forts. And of course I measured everything meticulously to stay under the 15 meter height limit. Then I decorated the inside with a free shell made by the person who ran Cabinet of the Curious (sorry, I forget your name, I rarely play SL any more and my memory has dimmed as I've gotten older), and a whole bunch of fantasy-themed stuff. This was all for an alt who's avi was one of the basic mesh Linden avis for new accounts -- an elf. Note that this was all before the Elven Glen or whatever it's called part of Belli had been created. Sorry for the lack of pictures of what it looked like -- my inventory of Second Life pictures is almost as big as my in-game inventory of objects lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staying within the 15M rule, it's still quite easy to build 3-story add-ons. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
