I've been renting from Willowdale Estates for years now and Imagin is fantastic. Anyone can own sims and sell them in SL, but Imagin goes the extra mile when it comes to not only customer service, but also her artistic eye in land aesthetics. The landscaping in Willowdale is exquisite and offers a level of luxury and privacy not found in other land companies. You will not regret calling Willowdale Estates home! - Luella Gloom

Living four years nearly on Canidae it is time to tell you that we enjoy your wonderful land and the way you have shaped and arranged it.

Ronja and Guenter Bloch

I am new to Second Life but moved into Willowdale (Athos) just after arriving. It was great as the parcel was already landscaped with tree and plants and flowers and a few discrete objects - like seating and a pontoon in the lagoon all with animations. No problem returning anything you don't need to the owner. Imagin was very helpful and understanding when I moved in. The parcel itself is beautiful... my visitor words, not just mine. It is also a quite private place to live with absolutely no annoyance from neighbors. No complains and Imagin is always ready with advice about how to get the best out of your investment. Highly Recommended. Thanks Imagin Sebastian Alexander (Sebastian24852 Resident)

I wanted to express my feelings about my home on the Shyr sim. I love it !!! The plot I am on is stunning...the best of both worlds with a small lake, and woodland area plus ocean and beach. Beautifully designed. As a tenant you have given me the ability to move around or return the items you have provided but they are gorgeous additions so have kept them all. Living here is easy. Paying tier is easy. I think you provide a very professional level of service and support and would recommend your sims to anyone looking for a new home. Thank you for all you do, Best wishes Alise

Living at Willowdale Estates has been wonderful. Beautiful land and surroundings and a beautiful person managing it all. Imagin is completely dedicated to her customers, and this is proven day after day by the frequent sim restarts, the helpful daily tips, quick response times, and general helpfulness is unmatched.

I have been a tenant with Willowdale for nearly two years now, and, I have never been more content! Not only do the offered amenities remain some of the best I have found in-world, Imagin always provides five-star customer service. This wonderful community offers beautifully landscaped lots (and generous prim allotments!), courteous neighbors, and a sense of 'home' that you will find yourself hard-pressed to give up. Don't pass up the chance to claim your own hideaway from the grid. Serishen Cagney

Hi, congrats adding another sim. It's fantastic to see you doing so well, and proves quality always wins, especially when you see other estates shrinking. \o/ LoganAndreus

I just wanted to drop you a line to once again tell you how much I LOVE my parcel i rent from you. I hopped from parcel to parcel and i think now only death will take me away from Willowdale. You have done such an excellent job and love how you keep us renters informed of LL restarts and such. That is going above and beyond and i just thought you needed to be told again how great you and your business are. THANKS!!!.....signed, One Satisfied Customer Gaytexanboi

Thanks again to all who helped me figure this out. After some serious testing over the weekend I determined that the problem was coming from the fbx files I was exporting from the modelling program and importing into Substance Painter. I had to change some settings and now the normal map from Substance Painter looks substantially different and works perfectly. This is how the normal map looked before fixing the fbx export settings: This is how it looks with proper fbx export settings: I'm glad I pushed myself to figure this out because now I have the height data from Substance Painter included. I could have just used the normal map from my modelling program but that wouldn't have the Substance Painter data.

I'm not new to Substance Painter but I haven't used it in years. I'm getting back into it because SL will be supporting PBR materials soon(TM). I guess I still have more learning to do but just knowing where the problem is coming from is everything.

I really thought you were wrong but as a test I exported a guaranteed tangent space normal map from the modelling program and used that instead of the Substance Painter one and it solved the problem. All shadows are where they should be! I was so sure my Substance Painter normal map was tangent space but somehow it isn't. At least I now know where the problem is coming from. Thank you sooooo much for posting this!

The thing is though - it's just that strip around the edge of the model. The rest of the normal map is fine. When I invert the map to make red green the problem on the top and sides (edge of the model) goes away but the rest of the model is all wrong, shadows where highlights should be. It really doesn't make much sense.

I agree but inverting the normal map didn't fix the problem, it just made shadows everywhere. I posted a pic of the cliffs with the inverted normal map above.
