    Meanwhile, homes have gone in at the other region that had been empty, Overall.

    I was in Overall today & there were no houses. It was still empty. Now I’m just confused.

    Sounds like a good possibility and it would make sense as they've already done Sakura homes with waterways.

    Don’t forget the fantasy region. It is made up of a lot (a thousand?) islands, covered in waterways & some of the bridges already resemble Venetian ones. It’s a perfect template for a Venetian theme. I’d also love to see a Venetian community area built like Piazza San Marco. The moles could even flood it sometimes for authenticity!

    A Suggestion on Improving Mainland

    What about floating islands though? Or balloons? Or clouds?

    I think old mainland and private islands can allow for these kinds of fantasy builds, while a new kind of mainland could apply the kind of structured controls that have made Bellisseria so popular, and in doing so could refresh interest in owning mainland.

    I saw some beautiful builds with floating islands & I certainly wouldn’t have a problem living near them. Same with balloons, floating lanterns etc. I’ve built on land myself with clouds, lightening etc. My issue is the ‘junk’. Half built creations that are never worked on, floating debris, low hanging skyboxes. I agree that a new sort of mainland may be the only answer as beauty is in the eye of the beholder & my eyesore is someone else’s much loved creation. I saw an amazing Statue of Liberty in my travels. Would I want to live next to it? Probably not but I can appreciate the skill & work that someone put in & I don’t want to lose  that uniqueness that randomly appears as I fly around. It would be nice if we could reach some middle ground without anyone feeling they are being attacked (not a reference to the quoted poster).

    A Suggestion on Improving Mainland

    in Mainland

    Posted

    I spent a few hours cruising around Mainland to look at land & see if I could find anything I’d like to change. The 2 biggest issues I have are sky junk & privacy walls. If everything in the sky was forced up out of ground view more places would seem more attractive. The worst example I saw was a property on a sea cliff. There was a narrow beach strip at the bottom of the cliff that someone else owned & they’d put a skybox level with the cliff top, completely blocking the view. I saw many examples of similar builds.

    Privacy screens have been discussed a lot on the forums already but many I see are just petty. I saw a piece of land that was back one parcel from the Blake Sea. It was on a hill so would have had a beautiful view except the neighbors on 3 sides had put up huge screens. Why? Is just seems petty.

    So, my two suggestions would be enforcing a height limit for the sky & making derender on the SL viewer available. Giving everyone the ability to derender would really help people to feel more confident in buying land & help with increasing sales.

    Wanted to bring this to your attention as it is both different an I think it turned out well.  Opens tomorrow.  Some of you that do a lot of styling can understand how tricky it was to use goods from FIVE different shops and ONLY those shops and have everything flow. This was not a two hour styling LOL -- at least not for me.   

     

    Nothing to buy there. It is look for things you like and then you can go to the store if you like.  Gifts will be out apparently but I haven't been over to see what.   

     

    Thanks for posting this Chic. This was beautiful & gave me so many ideas. Collect all the notecards if you go because there are some designers I'd never come across & I'm looking forward to hours of checking out their stores. There were some free gifts out as well. Worth taking a look at!

    What I LIKE or LOVE about Bellisseria

    in Linden Homes

    Posted

    The two things I love the most:

    1. The landscaping. It’s beautiful wherever you go & I find it really relaxing because…

    2. The Covenant. Those views & landscapes are protected. If you get the area you love, no one is going to build a huge, view blocking eyesore & if they try you can get it removed.

    The plumbing part is from Second Spaces  The Burrow Set  which was from a Harry Potter type event a few years back. Super cute. The bistro table is a ChiC buildings build that comes with more modern stools. I needed something else to put the "kitchen clutter" on LOL.  

    South part of UMBER at ground level :D.

    Fantassaria Survey?

    in Linden Homes

    Posted

    I love a fantasy theme. I own castles, ruins, hobbit homes & plenty of matching furniture so that isn’t the issue for me. The homes felt like the chalets with a bit of curvy stuff thrown in. They feel too big, not at all ‘magical’ & just don’t seem to fit the environment created around them. This is one time when I feel smaller homes would be better. The amount of land around them for landscaping is too small. I put out a few fantasy trees & it felt crowded. Even with the largest trad home I’m still left with heaps of land to play with. I know they are never going to make everyone happy but the current homes just feel so unimaginative compared to the Mole landscaping. I know fantasy is niche but a bit more imagination in house design may have enticed more people to try it.

    How do you use sound in SL?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I have a ruined castle on a bend in a river. & have made it very atmospheric with rain, fog & a lightning storm so sounds are very important to the feel of the land. I have rain, thunder, wind & lapping waves on the damp land & birds at the top where there is a dry forest area. I love working in the middle of a raging storm. There is no radio as it would detract from the feel I’m trying to create.

    A lovely boat for 75L. But with 17 Li this is not very LH friendly. It is not very big either. So you can shrink it, but it will look too small.

    curtain_002.png.87a2ca063c3128ecad736f383afac885.png

    Two chairs and a lantern for 60 L.

    4 Li without pillow, 5 Li with pillow. But you can unlink and delete the shadow prim, and Li will drop to 3 or 4 Li.

    The pillow is texture change, 5 soft colors.

    The lantern (2 Li) is very nice, and you can stretch it a lot before Li increases. It does not have light. The script only turns on/off the flame. I added light to the lantern. I have LOD 2 here, not 4. I think the LOD is good for indoor use.

    Thank you Marianne for posting this. I’ve been looking for a wrecked boat for my mangrove area & this is perfect! The LOD’s are amazing & as it’s on the corner of my river plot it’s a great warning for passing boats. Nice to have something different than the ubiquitous buoys.

    In Ctrl+alt+t find the emitter boxes then derender them, not the actual lightning bolts. If he’s changing the names & you aren’t certain they are emitters, temporarily derender them first. If the weather stops you know you’ve found the right box & make it permanent.

    For Sale Roadside plot with sailable waters and rez are

    in Mainland

    No. Title said; Roadside plot with sailable waters. You have to take a road to get to the rez zone many parcels away.

    The price is a waterside price not a roadside price.

    There are rez zones everywhere so anyone can put sailable water even if they are fully inland going by your logic, Tamara.
    Blake sea is also reaching as there isn't protected water taking you up to the Blake Sea as well as being not even in the same area or even close by.
    You would have to drag your boat through a lot of private parcels to get there and would take hours.

    Her ad is worded that they are on protected water and by the Blake Sea.

    People shouldn't be misled.

     

     

    The parcel is exactly one parcel away from the protected water Rez zone. You can walk there along the road in about 20 seconds, hardly many parcels away. You can see the Rez zone in her pic. I’ve sailed to the Blake from this exact spot without having to drag my boat at any time & it certainly didn’t take hours. There is one tight 90 degree turn but the rest is easy travel. Even the Lindens have said the Rez zone at Chiffre was put in to enable sailing to the Blake. She hasn’t mislead anyone. It is a roadside plot with sailable water & a Rez zone right next to it. Good luck getting a waterside in that area for that price.

    Not seeing where this touches water. Looks to be far from the water. Super far from the Blake Sea. Not sure how one would get there.

    It doesn’t touch the water but is roadside & at the end of the road you can see a dock off the beach. You see this in the top picture. This is a new Rez zone & gives access to both the Blake Sea & Bellisseria. To get to the Blake you just sail up the coast.
