Hi, I don't wander the forums much, and didn't see this reply until today. I don't run a blog, and 2d pics wouldn't really show what you need to see in an important (not cheap) 3d item. I found you inworld and passed you a landmark to the ranch. That way you can walk around one (or camera) and try the Mesh demo to see how it moves. For others, search for AKK Horse Ranch. The new Mesh horses are presently in the center of the "store", in a white corral. I do have a few pictures of three mesh horses listed in marketplace that can be seen by searching marketplace with the words " AKK Mesh " . I hope this helps somebody that needs a good horse to take on adventures with them Back to work for me, but don't hesitate to IM me inworld if you have further questions. I live most of my waking hours there.

Hi. I'm almost a year late in answering, but I saw no written response, and I know that rfl will come around again. I'm Kristivon Kolache of the AKK Horse Ranch, and we do have a Demo horse board that lets a resident who has not previously gotten one, to get a horse and ride it 5 times, time being unlimited. However the Demo horses are free. You might instead charge a small fee to enter the race? Contact me if this need arises again, and I will try to accommodate your needs.

I answered your other post, about looking for a new one. We're back It has been some realllly rough times these past 3 years, with sl slipping, brain surgery, heart attack, my right hand being useless for 6 months and more. Now, 2016, our 10th anniversary in sl, and we've just put out 10 mesh animated mod copy pleasure riding horses, with more to follow in the coming months, if every thing stays ok. Of course we have a free demo of it as well , so come back to see us . We'll leave a light on for you AKK Horse Ranch Kristivon Kolache and Spritely Pixel

The AKK Horse Ranch lost some sims due to a variety of things, including sl population drop, tier increases, world wide cash shortages, and the real biggie, a rl brain anyursim surgery and heart attack. Loss of a parent had to fall in there as well. Concentration was non existant, and the steep learning curve mesh called for required it. As of Christmas Eve 2015, we were finally able to release a small herd of ten 95% mesh horses,(I couldn't bear to have stiff manes and tails) with glowing reviews from our beta testers. As always, they are full functioning animated riding horses, mod copy, and there is a free demo to try out. Come back and see us ..It's our 10 year anniversary in second life!!

On mesh horse question, yes. antique artistry made the first that I know of, and a couple of mesh horse avatars have come out since, though that really isn't the same. There are quite a few static horses as well. At the AKK Hores Ranch we just released a small herd of animated mesh horses that took 3 years to get right. Of course that counts time out and the relearning a rl brain anyurism caused, then more time out for family deaths and a heart attack. Still it was a challange to say the least, to get the multiple meshes and animations right and a low LI. We made them copy mod, so they had to be low enough to rez on the ground (app 120) while being high rez enough not to turn to into a stack of triangles at more than a few feet away. They do all that the older prim/sculpty horses did, but much smoother. I guess it was worth it, but sure as heck was not an easy thing to do by any stretch. it has great potential, but learning to do it from scratch, and do it right, is no small feat.

I love zbrush, and use it to make the akk horses, saddles, bridles, and playing with deer and other things. If you work in non organics, it should be even better. Use Scale, on the side of the screen to zoom in. WAY in if you want. It's not an easy to learn program, (easier than blender to me) but it is so full of possiblilities that I can only dream of what I could do if I could just master the half of it.

if she is the manager there, she will have had to deal with quite a few creeps that prey on the new people. They often come in on a new account them selves (an Alt account) so they will blend in or seem more beleiveable. She may have been a little over zealous that time, but the indication is she takes the responcibility of protecting her new guests seriously, and intends to keep it a safe haven. She might or might not allow you back, but it sounds like a very safe place to refer other newbs to. I would not be happy either if it were me she had booted, but I understand from my ancient age (joined 2005) that there are a lot of creeps in bugs bunny clothing in here, and she is erring on the side of caution. And I've heard far worse send offs than have a good life. :matte-motes-shocked: Keep going. it's a good world if you are aware of the two sl rules...1, no one and nothing is what it seems to be, //rule 2, refer to rule one.
