Tali was still resting on that An Lema furniture set when I got back. "I won't disturb her," I thought. "I will just open this Centaur Pavilion from stop 51, House of ACCentaury, very quietly and discreetly, so she won't notice."<br />
<br />
I wasn't wholly successful.<br />
<br />
The centaur statues in the middle revolve, by the way, because of course they do.<br />

More centaurs and genies, from the same stop. I don't know what I'd use them for, but by gum they're impressive.<br />

Room Divider from number 52, Little Scamp Designs. We are low on screens, this Hunt. And nary a small octagonal table to be seen! Anyway, this counts towards the screens quota, and it is a very nice one.<br />

This is a Suona, from stop 53, Mikki Miles Musical Instruments. It plays a tune when you click on it. Mikki Miles does a lot of instruments like that - I really must go back and look for a dulcimer, you know. I <i>did</i> pick up a set of bagpipes there, and even persuaded Tali to listen to them. She was very tactful, especially when you consider that I could have got much the same effect just by tucking her under my arm and biting her tail.<br />

M. Pierre Ceriano at stop 54 provided this Rosery of Xanadu, which may not be strictly useful, but is quite spectacular, and right in tune with the theme of the Hunt. Unlike me on the bagpipes.<br />

Here's a Scribe's Chair, and a Scribe's Desk and a Scribe's Board to go with it, from number 55, E-Mesh. Neat. Very high-efficiency mesh design, and high-quality textures. Tali and I were wondering what those big documents actually say, but we were handicapped by not being able to read Chinese. We weren't handicapped by blurry letters or anything - as I said, this is high-quality stuff.<br />

So is this Xanadu Garden from stop 56, Salome Designs. It impressed us both, in fact, enough that it may well become a permanent fixture at our new home. Not scripted or anything, just a gorgeous garden to wander around in.<br />

A Cake Fox Decor Candlestick On Sidetable from number 57, Cake Fox. As is usual, it's a nice-looking piece from a skilled designer. It's not an octagonal table, though. I mourn for the glory days of the small octagonal tables.<br />

Also typically high-quality, this Office Chair and Rolltop Desk from number 58, Steaming Ahead. They will spoil us rotten with all this nice furniture, you know.<br />

Ah. Hm. Yes. This is the Hara outfit from number 59, Independent Objects, and I have had to edit that image, slightly. Technically, it comes with two small silvery cones that make it <i>just barely</i> decent, provided I don't move about or breathe too heavily. It appears to be a unisex outfit... frankly, I don't think there's enough of it to be gender-specific. Nicely made, though. And Tali, inexplicably enough, had no complaints.<br />

Strategic areas are obscured, here, by the selfless aid of a willing catlady. This is the Khan's Lounger and separate Canopy from stop 60, Coveted, and it is a piece of work, indeed. It would look very nice, properly adjusted and on top of something that wasn't plywood. Tali and I had fun disporting ourselves on it. (That particular sit animation needs some fiddling with, I think, though. I'm sure Tali isn't meant to be sideways. Or I'm not. One of us is.)<br />

More disporting, this time on the Peacock Blue Couch from stop 61, ZYN. It's more sedate sorts of disporting. Also, by this time I had put a top on. It was getting chilly. ZYN was another place where I went berserk and bought some decorative features. I think this shop is new to the Hunt, and I rather liked it, though the Gothic and spidery stuff there wasn't quite to my taste.<br />

Yet more disporting, on the Xanadu Carpet Corner from number 62, Cog & Fleur. The rug has scripted sit (and disport) animations, and so do some of the pillows and things you can scatter on it. It's all rather a nice set, in fact. <br />

Outfit from stop 63, Adelle Arts. I'm wearing the female version, and I was glad to be slightly more heavily dressed at this point.... You can see the gentlemen's outfit on the box, if you look. (Actually, it probably looks better than that in reality. Dunno why, but I never feel Adelle Arts's pack shots do the outfits themselves justice. One way or another, I've got quite a lot of stuff from that particular shop.)<br />

This is not an excuse to look down my top, it is an excuse to study the Jade Necklace - Rose Gold from number 65, Willow. Rather hastily positioned, and it would look nicer if I'd spent more time getting it right! - which is my fault, and not the fault of the item.<br />

We have screen! Actually, we have a screen with animated textures, courtesy of stop 66, SANNA Science and Art. This is just one example, provided with the gift, of how to use the animated textures. I have deliberately photographed this at an angle which foreshortens the panel in the middle, as the picture there is a little on the spicy side, and this is still Not That Sort Of Blog.<br />

By now night had fallen, which turned out to be all for the best, as it showed up the particle and glow effects on this Xanadu Gate from number 67, Rainy Fey Creations. ObDisclaimer about creator Nyree Rain being a personal friend... but this is really quite a spectacular piece. There is also an unscripted version, without the lighting effects, but if you have room for it, I say go with the lighting effects. Splendid stuff.<br />

And so we reach the end, and the little bonus gifts thrown in once we arrive at stop 68, the Chinese Tea House back in Mieville, and submit our Hunt notecards and all that. Here are two nice pictures - I turned the lighting back to "midday" so you could see the details - of a spring and a waterfall. Says TD on them - TD, that's Timeless Decor, isn't it? In any case, these are nice. They liven up that big plywood square no end.<br />
<br />
And so we reach the end! - and, once again, it's been a lot of fun, and that is down to the merchants who make these nice things and conceal them so artfully... and my fellow hunters who provide support and comradeship... and the organizers, under the very splendid Mr. Perryn Peterson as always. Thanks to everyone, and see you on the next one!<br />

It is an Abyssinian maid, though I don't have a dulcimer... I messaged Tali to say I needed one, and caused her some confusion. Anyway. I know where I can lay my hands on a dulcimer if I want one. I will have more to say on that topic later. In the meantime, this is an Abyssinian Woman outfit from stop 41, Tayren's Fantasy Fashions, and I think it's pretty nice, even though there are a few clipping issues with my non-standard shape. There's a pretty similar outfit for an Abyssinian Bloke in that box by my feet.<br />

Four Elements Stones, a decorative piece from number 42, United InshCon. I picked up a couple of other things at this particular shop, whose name will be familiar to, for example, people who've frequented Fantasy Faire on occasion. I need romantic haunted ruins and old temples and things, I have a chunk of a sim to furnish. There is a <i>reason</i> I'm standing around on a big piece of plywood, you know. <br />

Another animation, with props, from number 43, Razmataz. This is a hoeing animation, complete with a hoe to hoe with, and a patch of dirt to hoe. It's not particularly difficult, so it's not a tough row to hoe. Still, nice work on the animation and the props. I dig it. (Tee hee. Or, even, ho ho ho. All right, I'll stop.)<br />
<br />
I'm going to abandon my usual custom of putting the descriptive paragraph under the picture, here, on account of Blogger choked on the picture after it, and I can't prise the two apart for some reason. Never mind. The picture below shows a Genie Lamp from stop 44, Panda Panda, but does not show it playing a sprightly tune, because it is only a picture. I like Panda Panda's whimsical stuff. I went to the lengths of also buying a wind-up musical camel there, which I did not strictly need. And the proprietor noticed me doing this, and was kind enough to give me an additional gift, whose nature is... not convenient to describe. So, all in all, I did jolly well at this stop. And it is a lot of fun.<br />

The picture above, which is stuck to the one above it for reasons known only to Blogger's software, is of a Chinese Cabinet from number 45, Casa de Bebe. This thing is well-made, efficient mesh design, opening and closing doors, and it comes in two versions. One of them, seen here, has those rolls of silk inside, and the other is empty, so you can put whatever you like inside it. I tried to rez both, for comparison purposes, and wound up with two of the ones with silk in, so I deleted one of them. This is not down to any problem with the item itself, it's just that I'd had a <i>really</i> rough day.<br />

Peacock Garden Bench from number 46, Botanica. Comes with animations menu and props, like the little book I'm reading there. Nice thing, but a bit of normal mapping on those elaborate carvings, and it could have been an<i> outstandingly</i> nice thing. Just a suggestion, guys.<br />

This is a bit of fun. It's from stop 48, Imagine Flowers and Garden, and it's just called "The Silk Road Hunt Gift", so I really didn't know what to expect. In the event, it turned out to be this rather nice statue with a flaming thingy. Pretty neat.<br />

"Stranger in Paradise" furniture set from number 49, An Lema. I always have trouble finding their Hunt object, and always have to forgive them because the stuff inside it is really good. This is typically excellent quality. That folding screen is only the second one we've seen in this Hunt so far... come to think of it, where are the small octagonal tables, this year, too?<br />

Finally, I have a camel on my head, courtesy of stop 50, the Ferret and Hedgie Shoppee. Tasteful headgear of this kind is always welcome. (Actually, it's quite restrained by their usual standards.)<br />
<br />
That's all for now. With luck, I am on course to have everything unpacked and described before the Hunt ends on June 30th. Act now, and you too could have a camel on your head!<br />

Stop 21 is Timeless Decor, and provides this Xanadu Altar Cabinet and a Lily Arrangement to stand on it. Or to put wherever you'd like a Lily Arrangement, really. All I can say is, if you want to suggest where I should put my Lily Arrangement, keep it clean, that's all.<br />

An assortment of decorative... things... from stop 22, Caramba. A picture of the Lady of Shalott, a "Hamsa Home Blessings" hand, and a rose in a vase. Very, um, assorted. Which, I suppose, is kind of in keeping with the theme, really. You found all <i>sorts </i>of things on the Silk Road.<br />

Mandarin fan and matching doll key from 23, Jinxed Toys and Magic. The fan is animated so you can fan yourself. Makes sense to me.<br />

Rather nice Dragonfly Meditation Temple from 24, Tanelorn Manor Designs. If you're going to meditate on dragonflies, do it in style, that's what I say.<br />

Mesh gown from number 25, Inara's Fantasy Couture. Dramatic, but fairly modest. Did no one show any skin in mediaeval Mongolia? Perhaps not. Perhaps they were sensible.<br />

Number 26 is Zoe's Garden, and gives us a pair of Mixed Silk Road Arrangements, one of them in a Dragon Pot, one in just a pot, I guess. Look, I don't know about plants, all right?<br />

Here's something more visually exciting, a Silk Road Samovar from stop 28, Kittycat's Creations. This not only looks the business, it dispenses twelve different kinds of tea. If I was properly English, instead of being hopelessly corrupted into coffee-drinking, I would really appreciate that.<br />

Stop 31 is Frolic Poses, and posed - ha! see what I did there? - a couple of minor problems. Firstly, there's the matter of demonstrating poses in a static image. Well, there I am, posing. (They provided a couple of nice props, too, including that mesh rug I'm posing on.) Secondly, they put these things in a box with a semi-transparent texture, and I clicked on a bit of the box that wasn't there, and accidentally deleted the thing I was standing on instead of the box, because I can be a dumb Glorf sometimes. So I'm now on a boring plywood thing instead of the boring grey thing in the preceding photos. If you were wondering, which you probably weren't, and after all, why should you?<br />

Stop 32 is Les Arts de Saint Bruno, and - as usual - they provide a whole pile of in-theme artworks, some of which I have rezzed here. The matronly lady on the right of the picture is Mrs. Kublai Khan. No, seriously, she is. We'll be seeing more of her later.<br />

Mesh slippers - for large and small gentlemen and ladies - from number 34, MTD Designs. I suppose I could have put them on, but there's no way you'd have been able to see them under that gown.

This is kind of nice - chair and desk from number 35, Emma's at Blue Moose. (That "at" should be an @ sign, but this thing always tries to turn it into an email address when I do that.) Anyway, this is "Emma's Dreaming of Xanadu", and it's pretty nifty, all things considered.<br />

Number 38 is Lunar Seasonal Designs, and they give us this "On the Way to Xanadu" lantern. It's scripted with a number of options. If I was standing near it or something, you could see what size it was. It's not particularly big. It's pretty nice, anyway.<br />

Number 39 is Illumination Library, and they have their own go-to style for gifts in the Hunts - they do these little books that recite poetry at you. In this case, the person reciting is Kublai Khan himself, and he recites, at first, in Chinese, which rather baffled me. Click on him repeatedly, though - which I am nervous about doing to the Great Khan, but he didn't have me bowstrung this time - and he goes into an English translation, in which, among other things, he talks of meeting a "Pure Golden Face" upon a hill. Clearly, this is a reference to his missus, so I dragged her portrait out of inventory again. Don't they make a fetching couple?<br />

Finally, for this stretch at least, here's a Tabriz Chaise and matching mesh Rug, from number 40, Park Place Home Decor. They do not provide the catlady in the pink bikini, though. She just pitched in, selflessly, to help me check out the couples animations. And I have no complaints!Glorf Bulmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18312244361153234070noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759792076847182039.post-22969915216934708752016-06-14T15:47:00.000-07:002016-06-14T15:49:18.450-07:00Silk Road VII: BeginningAhem. Excuse my dust. There have been many developments, a fair number of them in RL, so I have not been around much. I have, however, been around long enough to do the Silk Road VII Hunt, and even to reach the end and start unpacking, and so here I am, unpacking loot and displaying the contents.<br />

Stop 2 is Lantian/Flox, and they provide this very nifty Xanadu Fortune Telling Mirror which says something mystic whenever you click on it. It doesn't actually reflect you or anything, but that's down to SL, not the makers.<br />

Stop 3 is Mountain Rose Village, and they have - as seems to be usual! - put on a fair-sized mini-hunt, in which (in keeping with the Xanadu theme of this hunt) they provide us with a royal palace and a bunch of furnishings and decorations to put in it. Starting with this Koi Carp Pond.<br />

Here I am as a Yiji or Mongolian Pleasure Slave. They seem to be more warmly dressed than most pleasure slaves you see in SL. I don't know how those Goreans don't catch their death of colds, I really don't. Ahem. I digress.<br />

... a dining room. With all the appurtenances for some Mongolian banqueting. (Well, some of them. I went to a Mongolian barbecue once, they have this enormous hotplate thing, about eight feet across, where they just cook everything at once. It was quite nifty, actually.)<br />
<br />
Anyway. That is it from Mountain Rose, and enough there to keep any reasonable person busy! <br />

Who said I was a reasonable person? This is Xanadu, or possibly Xanadu??? itself, from number 4, Designs by Sebastian. It's one of those where it just says something anonymous on the box and it's not until you open it that you hit yourself over the head with a building. Perfectly nice building. There are plants and things inside, as well as a surprised Glorf and Tali.<br />

"Ancient in Ruins" scenic prop from stop 7, Fairey Angel Creations. Or "Ozymandias in a slightly better mood" as I described it to Tali. Neat, well-made thing.<br />

That's a bit more like it. Show some leg, Glorf! - Actually, this Sylvanah Rose fairy outfit from Feyline Fashions (stop 10) is pretty nice, really. Flapping wings and all. You can see the male Sylvan equivalent on the pack shot.<br />

"Oriental Basics" Turkish outfits from stop 13, Peterman Ltd. I'm breaking with custom and not modelling the female version, here, as when I tried it on, the server - to use a technical term - crapped itself sideways and left me with a persistent bake fail that turned my upper torso to concrete. I had to clear my cache and run Character Test to turn myself into a noob before it cleared up. I'm sure it's nothing to do with the outfit, which is a perfectly nice piece of old-school system-layer-and-flexi-prim work. Just SL being the peculiar thing SL sometimes is.<br />

It let me wear this Chabi Court Dress from number 14, Sparrow by Design, without any trouble. Nice mesh thing. No accompanying alpha layer, though, so I had to dig one out of my inventory, and if my hands weren't behind my back you could see that my wrists have disappeared. Never mind!<br />

Here's a bit of fun from number 15, Buccaneer's Restorations. A Mongolian Envoy Role-Play pack. If you are RPing an official in Yuan Dynasty China, obviously you want paperwork and paper money, and those various bits and pieces include an official safe-conduct pass, piles of paper cash, and a little printing-plaque thing that lets you run off some more. And some nice pictures of Mongolian scenes, because Buccaneer's Restorations do that sort of thing. They're good. I wish I could remember how to spell Buccaneer, though. I get to the point where every way I spell it, it looks wrong.<br />

First screen of the Hunt! This is a Shoji Screen from stop 16, Shame, which is a shop that's new to me. It was also the first place where I bought something else along the way. For reasons which are not currently apparent, I'm in the market for short skirts and short pants, and they had some rather nice mesh capris, so I bought a pair.<br />

Stop 18 is Spyralle, of which I have raved before. The gift is this Pavilion Lantern For Xanadu, and it would look pretty good in Xanadu, I do believe. Or here. I treated myself to a new necklace at Spyralle, too. I like Spyralle.<br />

Stop 19 had to pull out. The only no-show of the Hunt, I believe. So, on to Black Magnolia Imports at 20, and a boring picture of a texture pack. The pack itself is "Temple Garden Stones", and includes specular and normal maps so you can have more realistic looking stones in your Temple Garden. So it's not nearly as boring as that picture would suggest. Sorry about that, Black Magnolia! Love your stuff really.<br />

That seems as good a place as any to pause for breath.

First in this tranche is number 71, The Vintage Touch, which gives us this Steampunk Locker Set. I think "steampunk" just means "rusty" in this instance, but what the heck, it's a nice mesh piece, there are times when you <i>need </i>some rusty lockers.<br />

Oh, now. <i>This </i>isn't rusty. This is the Submarine Crustacean from number 72, L+N Signature Designs, and it is a lovely expression of L+N's distinctively extravagant Art Nouveau stylings. L+N have figured in these hunts many times before, and they have usually given us some wonderfully beautiful and/or fantastical vehicle which I have praised to the skies, and this time is <i>definitely</i> no exception.<br />

Here's a talking book from number 73, Bibliotheque de Coeur. The grouchy-looking bloke on the cover is Baudelaire, and if he can spare time from fretting over his receding hairline, he will recite the poem "L'homme et la mer" at you, at one line per click. In chat, and in French. It helps if you know French, which of course I do. It's GCSE Alien that's the one I failed.<br />

74 is Rad Designz, and it presented me with problems, because I am a Luddite and insufficiently au fait with modern SL technology. The gift is a HUD which acts as an applier for SLink... hands, or something... and if you are familiar with that brand of mesh appendages, you may be able to tell what it does. Me, I use the hands the Lindens gave me, and I have not a clue. I think it might be nail polish. Answers on a postcard please.<br />

Here's a little Underwater Flying Sub from number 75, Designs by Sebastian. Looks a little tame after the L+N thing, but heck, so do I. It's a neat little vehicle, if you read the instructions notecard carefully and don't sit in the wrong seat like I did there.<br />

Number 76 was Arcadia Asylum, and they did a little mini-hunt thing, where you had to travel between several stops - it was eventful, and they dished out some things in notecards along the way, but the main gifts were all at the end, with this Marine Research Lab full of steampunky gizmos and fish. I spotted that octopus rug in another shop, somewhere along the way, and coveted it... and now, I have one of my very own. Thank you for that, Arcadia Asylum!<br />

Holly at number 77 gave us this mermaid outfit. It's sort of half-way between being an actual mermaid outfit and being a mermaid-style gown. You can go the whole hog with fins and a floaty AO (finny bits are included but an AO is not), or you can just keep your human feet on and slink around at nightclubs or something. Works either way.<br />

Number 78 is Sweet Sorrows, and they give us this "Stranded Dreams" posing... thing. You sit on it, and there are poses you can use, which may make up some sort of narrative, even, only I wasn't paying attention properly. It's a nice decorative piece anyway, even if you're not paying attention.<br />

According to number 80, Thistle Moon Designs, this is what the well-dressed Priestess of Poseidon is wearing this season. And I wouldn't dream of contradicting them. The male Priest of Poseidon is still in the box, next to me. All very well, but while they have been dressing up in pleasing shades of blue, their temple has been going to rack and ruin, hasn't it? (See previous blog entry.)<br />

Eeep! This is an Underwater Helmet from number 81, Spyralle, and it is very well made (as you might expect from Spyralle) and perhaps a little startling for casual wear.<br />

Number 82 is COVETED, and the gents get that look that's still in the box, and the ladies get those boots, a pair of system-layer leather trousers, and that all-enveloping "Seducer" leather trenchcoat. It's very nice, actually - good mesh design and excellent textures. I just think it doesn't quite fit in with my methods of seduction, though, which are less about the all-concealing heavy leather and more about... no, this is still Not That Sort Of Blog.<br />

I spent something like nine hours in total at number 84, Chaos Panic & Disorder. They had a mini-hunt with three gears, and I just could not find the third one. I was going cross-eyed, and literally crying with frustration. They made my Fave Five list for the Hunt, on the grounds that if they did <i>that </i>good a job of hiding things, they deserved recognition. Anyway. When I finally found the third gear, it had that "Explorer of the Deeps" helmet in it. It completely conceals my face, so maybe you all think it was well worth the effort.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The other two gears had neckwear in them - which, between the helmet and the high collar on that trenchcoat, meant a change of outfit if I was going to get a picture. The gents got an "Octopoda Cravat", the ladies the "Octopoda Choker" which I'm wearing in that shot.<br />

Number 85 was Jinxed Toys & Magic, and they gave us that magic Aquamancer Staff. It shoots stuff, if you go into mouselook, and looks sort of decorative and mystical if you don't.<br />

And so I reached the end, and the Hyborian Steam Platform at number 86, where there is usually a little final giftie to be picked up. In this case, this Kraken Chair from Sparrow by Design. I think that even I may have had enough tentacles to satisfy me, on this Hunt!<br />
<br />
As a footnote, I picked up a few things along the way - not many, as my inventory is getting further and further out of hand, again. However, I got that tattoo thing from Eclectic Stars, a sort of automated sentry with a machinegun from Land of Nodd, a dress from Miss Darcy, and a thing from Spyralle which allows me to wrap myself in a flickering web of lightning bolts. As you do. Remind me not to go swimming in that one, though.<br />
<br />
So, we have come to the end. Thanks as ever are extended to Perryn Peterson and his team for organizing everything, to the merchants for making all this wonderful stuff and giving it away and posing us such interesting puzzles before we can get it, and to the fellow Hunters in the group, without which it would all be so much less fun.

Repeated shouts of warning from a catlady on a nearby island greeted the appearance of this one. "Beware the dread gazebo!" and the like. Anyway, it's a nice enough Little Gazebo from number 54, Impertinences, and it didn't kill and eat any paladins while I was watching it. (If you need that reference explained... why are you reading this blog, again?)<br />

Steam Hat for Ladies from number 55, Rozamyndi's. There is one for the gentlemen too, never fear.<br />

Clock Hands Pin from number 55, Amaranthus. Nice little piece of jewelry, you can see it hovering over the "P" in "Punk" on my chest, there. Actually, about a foot in front of my chest, Amaranthus having positioned it, by default, so that it cannot be lost even in a <i>much </i>larger bosom than I boast. There's another version in the pack, which attaches to the other side of your chest.<br />

57 is Panda Panda, and they provide this mesh "gramaphone". They may have trouble spelling gramophone, but they certainly don't have any trouble making one; this is a nicely detailed piece that winds itself up and plays a sprightly melody when you click on it. For something this good, I will certainly forgive a spelling error.<br />

Number 58 dropped out. Number 59 is furniture maker An Lema, and they didn't, as evidenced by this Steampunk Cabinet and Display Stand. The door of the cabinet opens and shuts (it opens with the "ssh-donk" sound of the sliding doors on the Starship Enterprise, but who's quibbling?), and the glass tops of that Display Stand reveal dancing gears (Steampunk!).<br />

Number 60 is Drow Science, and they give us a mini-submarine. A very mini submarine, it sits on your shoulder (as seen here) and, well, looks pretty cute actually. Drow Science do some good stuff. I'm still using those Gyrocogter rezzers I got from them last Hunt.<br />

Number 61 is House of Accentaury, and they provide us with a Commuter Puffer. Or, in fact, three Commuter Puffers, in three sizes (large, medium and small). You may be able to make out the small one in this picture - it's on the greyish bit of ground, a little to the right of the centre of the image. You definitely can't miss the large one. They don't actually <i>do </i>anything except look striking - which, come to think of it, may be just as well.<br />

It's a texture pack. Specifically, the "League of Extraordinary" texture pack from number 62, All Things Beautiful. The textures are actually very nice. I know this, because Tali accidentally clicked it and it gave her a bunch of textures, so we had to check that I could still get them too. It gets round the usual "items coming in too fast, preview disabled for 10 seconds" by using a special script that gives you each texture... one... at... a... time... with... a... sufficient... pause... between... each... one. Frankly, I'm not sure that was a problem worth coding around, but never mind.<br />

Had some fun with this one, the Aubrey mesh outfit from number 63, Snowpaws. (Gents get a hooded jacket thing, which I didn't check out.) Tali and I decided it looked pretty good, but it needed some accessories to be properly Steampunk. So -<br />

I added a Steam Gauntlet from Dirty Lynx, and Geared-Up Boots and that understated hat from some previous Hunts, and there we are. Rather striking, if I do say so myself.<br />

Number 65 was Miss Darcy, and Miss Darcy and Tiknics give us this nice Steam Raft vehicle. That "HMS Neversink" on the sail positively <i>begs </i>for contradiction, but despite some rather energetic sea trials, I was not, in fact, able to sink it. Despite the wheels, it's not an all-terrain vehicle, you can't get it to go up onto the land (and believe me, <i>I tried</i>).<br />

66, Tanelorn Manor Designs, gave us this Poseidon's Temple Ruin, which looked sort of familiar because it's on display at their shop, and in fact you have to explore it to find the gear. Tali liked it. Tali likes romantic ruins, that's why she goes out with me. (Tali has made some very nice romantic ruins of her own, of course.)<br />

Sailor Boy (still in his box) and Sailor's Girl (worn by me) from number 67, Tayren's Fantasy Fashion. This is a very nice outfit - combining system layers, mesh and flexis to excellent effect. And it fitted very well, for something straight out of the box. The only thing I've done with that, in that shot, is adjust the height of the hat. Well done Tayren's, is what I say to this one.<br />

Nice bunch of stuff from number 69, Dragon Magick Wares, with this "Steampunk Aquatica" set. The actual "Aquatica" thing is a small but stylish underwater pod home on stilts, and you can just see it through that Kelp Forest (which gurgles and makes its own fish). And they provide some starfish, which you might be able to make out, and a very large octopus, which you will probably have spotted by now. Romantic ruins from one shop, a big octopus from another... the Hunt is catering for Tali and me, there is no question about it.<br />

There's the obligatory NeoVictoria calendar, which you can see on the balcony of that skybox (a perfectly nice starter home for a NeoVictorian, I think); there's the multiple mermaid pose rock, which I am posing on, and the anglerfish-style headlight, which I am wearing. And there's the Piscean Peril, which is pretty nifty. Tali is standing on that big flat round rock, and the rock has noticed her, and it has rezzed that ferocious-looking fish to scare her away. Tali is made of sterner stuff than most, though, and has inspected the ferocious-looking fish and proclaimed it a very good-quality 1 LI mesh with excellent texture mapping. There's some other stuff in the mini-hunt, but it's mostly information about NeoVictoria and shows up on HUDs and stuff. Still, this stop, and the NeoVictoria setting generally, is well worth a look if you ask me.Glorf Bulmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18312244361153234070noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759792076847182039.post-30643767737144544852016-03-20T10:01:00.001-07:002016-03-20T10:02:34.119-07:00Stean Hunt XI: Citius Altius Fortius... or, at least, part 2.

Starting with these "Sonya" boots from number 23, Lindy Modern & Retro Shoes. The gentlemen get a pair of "Nemo" boots. The sub-theme of this Steam Hunt is an underwater one, in case you hadn't gathered that from all the diving suits and shipwrecks and things.<br />

"Realms of the Deep" Library Cabinet from 24, Park Place Home Decor. Comes with assorted reading/looking-for-books animations, and of course a big window full of animated fish in the middle.<br />

Entity at number 25 give us this Royal Couch, which seats four in a variety of poses. Four people? Is that Royal? It's certainly not a monarchy... but it's not enough for a democracy. Maybe it should be an Oligarchical Couch? I'm hairsplitting for the sake of it now, aren't I?<br />

Destiny's Designs has been in these Hunts since the year dot; they're at number 26 with this Steampunk Winter outfit (ladies' version worn, gents' version in the pack shot.)<br />

Cog & Fleur at number 27 give us a set of Rusty Portholes in various versions. Guess which one is my favourite. Go on, just guess.<br />

Deep Sea Pillow Pile from number 28, Eclectic Muse. We have seen those woodcuts of an octopus before, and I would not be at all surprised if we saw them again. Nice decorative piece, anyway.<br />
<br />

This Menu Driven Octopus Fountain from number 29, Lunar Seasonal Designs, is also a nice decorative piece. Each chunk of the thing can be changed to a range of colours and textures, which is where the Menu Driven bit comes in. The octopus on top started off blue when it came out of the box, but I changed it to brown, <i>just because I could</i>. Good, innit?<br />

Stop 30, Black Magnolia Imports, and their "Rolling in the Deep" texture pack. Which is in a box. I know boxes are not interesting, but texture packs are, so nyah.<br />

Toxic Fish Fountain from number 31, Kismet. It is really rather well made, with some very careful particle effects. It took a lot of skill and effort to get it to look like that, you know. Of course, it looks revolting, but at least it's <i>quality </i>revolting, none of your tat.<br />

Stop 32 was Myrddin's Emporium, where Myrddin Janus leaves us... sort of a grab bag of stuff: three mini-subs, a pair of interesting chairs, and a collection of building components and miscellaneous, um, miscellanea. I'm not complaining. It was like rummaging through my stocking on Christmas morning, opening that particular box. Fun.<br />

This is MINE!, although you can have one as well, if you go to Kittycat's Creations, shop number 33. That rather impressive mesh dragon is holding on to one of Kittycat's decanters, which offers you a range of slightly dubious Steampunk drinks, or at least - if you're the owner - it does once you've deleted the resizer script which also comes in the thing and overrides the drinks menu. Something or somebody could have handled that clash of scripts better, and I'm not sure it's not the viewer. Or it might just have been the Burroughs sim going wonky. It's been known to do that, especially when a hunting maniac rezzes a whole range of complicated scripted objects on it in rapid succession.<br />

Mesh chairs from number 36, MTD Designs. I've rezzed three of these, but there are more, in a whole range of colours. Each one is 2 Land Impact. Remember that next time someone starts ranting about how Mesh Is Inefficient And Makes People's Computers Run Hot And Probably Does Things To The Cows' Milk And All. Two prims' worth of Land Impact for that level of detail. You cannot do that with standard prims, or with sculpts, and mesh is more efficient and puts <i>less </i>strain on your graphics processor, and the cows can just lump it.<br />

Number 37, Razmataz, presented problems, in that they gave a pair of m/f Steampunk Poses. Fortunately, they are static poses. This is how a lady Steampunk stands, it seems.<br />

Number 38, baci village (or bacidalucia, I'm never quite sure) gives us this decorative "beyondwords-steamtypewriterpunk". Looks like my dad's old Olivetti Portable, actually, except my dad's was orange and didn't have spiky pen-nib wings coming out of the back.<br />

"Mrs Kraken" mesh outfit from number 40, Sparrow by Design. There is a corresponding male version but I haven't seen it. Both sexes get that helmet, which has a sort of crank-driven motor at the back, which you can't see here because I'm showing the front. Anyway, you couldn't see the pistons and things moving in a static photograph. It's pretty neat, actually.<br />

"Grind my Gears" table from number 42, Eclectic Stars. This has Gears, so it is Steampunk. Eclectic Stars was the first place I actually bought something, this Hunt - a silly "Body Code" tattoo which appealed to me, simple soul that I am.<br />

You can see part of the tattoo (it shows the closing HTML tag for "head" and opening one for "body" at the base of my neck, ho ho, look I am a simple soul and easily amused, OK?) Anyway, you are meant to be looking at the "Radio Days Tophat" from number 43, Grim Bros. One of Grim's finest. There are three versions in the pack, of which this is the most complex - you can choose to wear one without the goggles or the built-in radio, but <i>why would you do that?</i><br />

Three Steampunk flower arrangements from number 44, Zoe's Garden. From left, we have Sarracenia, Carnation, and Mixed Arrangement. All I know about plants is that they give me hayfever, so I'm a bit stuck for more to say, here. I'm guessing the cog-shaped flowers aren't strictly botanically accurate, but what do I know?<br />

Haunted Victorian display cabinet, camera, and nature prints from number 47, Emma's @ Blue Moose. The prints change from pictures of fish and such to those ghoulish faces you see in that picture. When you "sit" on the camera, it gushes particle blood and you strike poses in front of it while being gradually dragged beneath the ground. I haven't investigated the haunted nature of the cabinet yet. Anyway, it's traditional SL silliness, and the camera, when not spraying out gore, is actually quite a nice build.<br />

The traditional problem rears its head once more at 49, SANNA Science & Art, the animated texture specialists. That Whooshing Water and the flames on the USS Constitution actually move, you see. Tali wondered if the "Constitution Burning" picture was some kind of US political comment, but I have a headache from British politics just now and didn't go further into the question. (This is just a sample, by the way, of the things from this stop.)<br />

Another aspect of the traditional problem - you can see this "Scott Joplin Pine Apple Rag" piece from number 50, Curious Seamstress, but there is no way of showing, in the picture, that if you click on it, it actually <i>plays </i>said piece of music.

Another necklace - and, I hope you can make it out, a ring. "The Deeps" necklace and ring (with variants provided for both ladies and gentlement) from number 51, Rainy Fey Creations. I issue the obligatory disclaimer about RFC's owner being a personal friend, but all this means is that I am friends with someone who makes really nice stuff. Which is no bad thing.

And number 52, Cake Fox, gives us this decorative Garden Ship Wheel and Chain. I assume it's a Ship Wheel and Chain you can put in your Garden, as here. In other words, a decorative item. You probably <i>can </i>put it in your garden, even if you are pushed for space, because that is another piece of highly efficient mesh design, I think it clocks in at 3 Land Impact for the whole lot.<br />
<br />
That's it for this post. There is more to come, including a couple of mini-hunts. With luck I should get it all wrapped up before the Hunt ends, though.<br />

<br />
Yes, well. Circumstances have abounded, as per usual. RL is full of circumstances. However, it is not full enough to keep me away from this year's Steam Hunt, and so here I am.<br />
<i> </i><br />
For the very first time, I think, I managed to get all of the Hunt items all by my very own self, albeit with a certain amount of crying with frustration and staying in one shop for three nights running, desperately scanning the insides of pot plants and the branches of nearby trees. Don't ask me where anything is, though, because some twerp (if I may use the technical term) put up a cheat blog (which I'm not linking to) saying where everything was - so, if the Hunt merchants are on the ball, they will have relocated everything by now. I suppose it might be a valid reason to go out and do the Hunt all over again, but....<br />
<br />
Anyway. Here is the first slab of pictures of the Hunt gifts, according to immemorial tradition. (Did you know that "time immemorial" by the way, in English law, means "dating back to the reign of King Richard the Lionheart"? Of course you did. My readership-at-very-small is all terribly erudite, I know that.)<br />

Then we pop on over to Lantian/FLOX at number 2, where we get this Plate of Mer Gear Donuts with Kelp Sprinkles. Click on one of those tasty treats, and the plate gives you one of your very own to eat. Steampunk and nutritious!<br />

There are always a few no-shows, real life being what it is; number 3 was one of them. Number 4, however, was Mountain Rose, where the mini-hunt has now become a fixture. The first thing to get is this pair of Gazebos, one Mermaid Open and one Steampunk Dance.<br />

The theme is a sub-aqua one this year, and Mountain Rose is providing buildings and furniture and... stuff... in keeping. Here is most of a furniture set, for a Living Room. There is other stuff besides this in the box, but this was enough to make my little Unpacking Isle look quite busy.<br />

Your living room, obviously, has to be in a house, like for example this Atlantis II Mer House.<br />

And your house has other rooms, such as bedrooms and bathrooms, and they need furniture too.<br />

Also a Master Bedroom, and here's some furniture for that. There are Gears, it is Steampunk.<br />

Here's some stuff for the performing arts, including that big thing at the back which is a stage, and a rug and some chairs for the audience, and a couple of abstract sculptury things, comprising a sort of orrery and a thing made of gears (Steampunk!).<br />

The idea is that Atlantis II was founded by the crew of a crashed alien spaceship, and, really, why not? Anyway, the spaceship had officers, and they lived in suites aboard it, and those suites had furniture. Here's some of the First Officer's furniture. The First Officer slept alone in that sort of pod thing with the transparent lid, it seems, but they got up to all sorts of naughtiness on that blue couch.<br />

Another Landing Pod House. It looks like the other one, but has a different internal arrangement. Which you can't see from the outside, because Glorf takes rubbish photographs. I'm no use at all really.<br />

Here's me in a Diver outfit, tastefully enlivened by the pink stilettos I forgot to take off. As is usual for these Mountain Rose deals, the outfits are provided in a range of sexes and age groups. Obviously enough, I went for an adult female option here.<br />

The Captain of the ship has nice purple upholstery and that rather nifty animated image of Saturn on his table. And lots of gears. All very flashy, but you still crashed your spaceship, didn't you, matey? Eh?<br />

Finally - from Mountain Rose - the Atlantean Day Uniform, with a geared-up corset instead of a jacket, and a pith helmet instead of the peaked cap, and that three-function rifle thing which is a fully working (and very unlikely) gun.<br />

Phew! Moving on from that selection from Mountain Rose, we come to Brain Circuit at number 5, and the Stranger of the Deep outfit. The male version lacks the skirt, but still has the mask and the tentacles. As we all know, I approve of tentacles.<br />

Number 6 is !Never Ever!, and they give us this Cyber Machine, which... sits on your spine and looks pretty and Steampunk, I guess!<br />

Number 7 was a no-show: 8 is Steaming Ahead, and they are doing their usual quality design with this decorative mesh Treasure Chest. I approve. I am all about the booty, you know.<br />

9, I'm happy to report, is Epic Toy Factory, and I moved off Unpacking Isle and down to the sea bed so that their Deep Sea Bubble Wreck could get shown to proper advantage. Looks good, has numerous sit animations that do silly things. Typical ETF high-class gifty, in fact.<br />

Rag Dollz is number 11 (10 is the third of only four no-shows), and gives us this Steampunk Merfolk set. Looks good, comes with a mer AO and numerous accessories, some M, some F, some unisex... we would expect nothing but quality from Rag Dollz, of course!<br />

Stop 12, Timeless Textures, boring old shot of boring old box containing not-boring-at-all texture pack. It may not be visually exciting for you, dear reader, but it sets my antennae tingling. Do I have antennae at this point? I've mentioned before that my outfit gets stranger and stranger as I unpack.<br />

Captain Nemo's Table from stop 13, Casa de Bebe. Captain Nemo evidently manages with quite a small, but very well-formed, table. Note a certain catlady lurking in the background, there, looking for me to unpack some good stuff.<br />

Underwater Curiosity Ottoman and Porthole from number 14, Hearth & Home. Pretty neat, very LI efficient. The ottoman contains several different sits. Directly after taking that picture, I tried another sit, lay back, and concussed myself on the edge of the porthole. So it goes.<br />

Stop 16 is XM Designs, and they give us this Underwater Cog Cafe set. I think it falls midway between Art Nouveae and Art Deco - the simple lines and spindly shapes strike me as deco, but the curves are very nouveau. Don't take my word for it, I'm no expert.<br />

Stop 17, Les Arts de Saint-Bruno, and a series of illustrated full-colour plates from Jules Verne's <i>The Mysterious Island</i>. I've pulled three out to show you here, but there are heaps more.<br />

On to number 18 and this Animated Cog from HOT Couture. It has a bunch of couples animations in it (clean ones [dammit!]); Tali had slunk off to do something clever at this point, though.<br />

Stop number 19 is Adelle Arts, clothing designers I know well. I set up this shot of their Diving Suit so that the camera's looking straight into the beam from that headlamp. Rather effective, isn't it? There's a male version as well, of course.<br />

The orientation of this gift from number 20, The Rug Shop, surprised me. I suppose it could be a very tall, narrow rug. Or I could lay it down flat on the ground. Whatever. It's called a Mermaid in Kelp, anyway, and it's pretty nifty.<br />

Here's Inara's Steampunk Cutie from number 21, Inara's Fantasy Couture. Couldn't find a gent's version. I'm sure the gentlemen would look fetching in this anyway. Pretty decent fit, for non-fitted mesh on my non-standard shape.<br />

And here's a Steampunk Undersea Adventuress, next to the box for the Steampunk Undersea Adventurer, from number 22, Hig's. (I said to Tali, with a name like that, they should sell bosons.) Anyway. Nice enough outfit, and that hat with the gears (Steampunk!) is <i>shiny</i>.<br />
<br />
That's all for now. There are more than sixty shops to go, and some of them had mini-hunts or multiple gifts, so I will be at this a few more days.Glorf Bulmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18312244361153234070noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759792076847182039.post-45410613563062416832015-09-23T14:28:00.000-07:002015-09-23T14:28:13.840-07:00Renaissance Hunt V: CodaI didn't <i>exactly </i>miss one. The epic Mountain Rose mini-hunt terminated with a quiz about Tudor times, and I duly filled in the notecard (a bit stumped on one or two of the questions, I'm afraid) and sent it off.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And in due course I received this crown, orb and sceptre. Which boosts my already alarming ego no end.<br />
<br />
Incidentally, I might note (for the benefit of the merchants) that the Hunt does actually <i>work</i>, as it were, for them. I mentioned buying a mad scientist outfit and workbench at Cog & Fleur; other purchases included a giant stone pointing hand from Buccaneer's Restorations, a couple of sleazy-looking paperbacks from the gacha machines at The Vintage Touch, a mesh dress from Belle Epoque, a charming dog-headed gargoyle from [noctis], and - perhaps my biggest single purchase - a Gyrocogter Rezzing Platform from Drow Science. This thing is now emplaced on the hangar deck of the tower, and anyone who feels like it can jump into a temp-rez Gyrocogter and fly about the place. I flew one all the way from Burroughs to Caledon, last night. And I flew one up to the Iron Cloud in Middlesea, too, only I wasn't watching out carefully enough and an air kraken got me on the way. It actually grabbed me and tossed me off the deck of the Iron Cloud, and I fell to the ground and had to walk home. That's what you get for venturing into Middlesea without a trusty weapon handy. I'm rambling now, aren't I?<br />

Ah, right, I was at stop 61, Casa de Bebe, picking up this rather nice Rustic Wardrobe with the mesh design and the opening and closing doors. And a good enough place to be, surely.<br />

Next up is this Renaissance Gown from number 62, Peckbeth Clothiers. Doing pretty well for gowns on this Hunt. There's something for the gents too, but the packaging doesn't show what it is. Never mind, I'm sure it's nice.<br />

Number 64 is Buccaneer's Restorations, which I am never quite sure how to spell. Does it have one N, or two, or several? Anyway. They give us this enamelled miniature of Elizabeth I, in four formats, only one of which is shown here. Others have, for example, chains so you can hang it round your neck, or big butch chains for hanging it round your manly neck, that sort of thing. It's pretty nifty, anyway.<br />

More gowning. This is the Sami Corseted Dress in Teal, or possibly the Sami in Teal Corseted Dress, the packaging is a bit inconsistent. It's accompanied by this Ironfist outfit for the gents.<br />
<br />

Fireplace with Bookcases from number 67, Steaming Ahead. We would expect nothing but good stuff from Steaming Ahead, and we are not disappointed.<br />
<br />

Chain of Office in Gold and Enamel from number 68, Spyralle. Again, the gents get a solider-looking chain. As usual, I'm impressed by the way Spyralle has worked its trademark intricately coloured fractals into the theme of the Hunt. Nice one!<br />

Eliquorn Gown (and a matching tunic for the gentlemen, you can make it out on the box) from number 71, Rainy Fey Creations. ObDisclaimer about creator being a personal friend. This is pretty neat, though, a combination of mesh and system layer stuff. Also, the skirt that fits me is sized at XXS, and it's been a long time since I wore an XXS in RL, so I can love it for that alone.<br />

The Queen's Armchair and the Forgotten Tapestry from number 72, Timeless Decor. There is a notecard, too, explaining the history of that Tapestry and how it came to be Forgotten. However, I have (aptly) forgotten what it said. Forgetting things runs in the family, you know, my father was in the Foreign Legion for a while.<br />

Here we see the Renaissance Royalty Gown from number 73, Inara's Fantasy Couture. Gowns a-go-go, this Hunt. And I am not complaining.<br />
<br />
That takes us all the way around, because stop 74 is the end of the Hunt at the Renaissance Faire again, so all that's left for me to do is to thank, once more, Perryn Peterson and his indefatigable helpers for organizing the Hunt, the merchants for their generosity and their cunning, and my fellow hunters for their staunch support!

Or, at least, it will be what I was aiming for. Anyway, on we go.<br />

We recommence at number 41, which is Sparrow by Design, and which gives us this... voluminous... Bosch Gown for the ladies, and a Doublet (for which I don't have a picture, I'm afraid) for the men. It comes with a mesh bodice in a range of sizes, but no accompanying alpha layer. Tali speculated that it's aimed at people with mesh bodies and their own alpha HUDs. Well, it's not like I can't make my own alphas anyway.<br />
<br />

Slightly more conventional mesh from 42, Miss Darcy, and actually this London Towne Gown is pretty nice - modest without being frumpy, that sort of thing. The Homme equivalent for the gents is on the pack shot behind me. Looks suitably Renaissance, I think.<br />
<br />

Tudor Gown from 43, Adelle Arts. Again, neat mesh design, and a male equivalent, on the pack beside me. Looks like the gentlemen get to be Thomas Cromwell or Archbishop Cranmer or some other such Tudor worthy. The outfit includes that hair, by the way. I went all brunette, it felt weird.<br />

Still brunette, in the female version of the Day at the Faire outfit from number 45, Suki's Silken Fashions. I must say, mesh design has come on a bit since the old days, when I was poking out in odd places as often as not.<br />

I lost the hair, and went back to an old-school look, with the Lady Francise outfit from Feyline Fashions, number 46. You can see the gents' equivalent, Ser Francis, on the box behind me. Old-school still works, you know. Good system layers and flexis and stuff can be just as good as mesh - and sometimes you need a combination of techniques anyway, for things to work properly.<br />

Number 47, Drow Science, provides this rather splendid mesh Roman Chariot on a plinth, with a little baby one of the same added in, in case you want to put one on your desk or something. Decorative, and spiffingly so.<br />

Here we have the Isabella furniture set (two chairs, a table, and a vase of flowers) from number 48, Belle Epoque, who were new to me, and who rather impressed me. Each of those things is 1 LI, which is pretty darn efficient mesh design. Belle Epoque also do mesh clothing, and they do it, in my estimation, pretty well.<br />

In fact, I'm wearing a Belle Epoque dress in this shot and the next one, although what I'm actually snapshotting is supposed to be that Renaissance Pillow With Fans from Emma's @ Blue Moose, stop 49. The pillow thing has that lounging animation, which would work <i>much </i>better if I'd put it down on a chaise-longue or something.<br />

Back to the old-school outfits, and a sort of serving wench look from number 50, Rozamyndi's. You can see the one for the gents on the pack shot. He looks a bit servant-y too, I think. Though not a wench, obviously enough.<br />

Just as well I had the serving wench look, since number 51, McMinnar's Oddments, gives us this Medieval Kitchen complete with a roasting ox on a spit. It turns and everything.<br />

Bit baffled as to how to get a shot of the gift from 52, Razmataz, as it's an animation. In the event, this Royal Animated Pose is a static looped thing, you can more or less make out what it looks like from the pack shot. It's suitably dignified, anyway.<br />

"Amanya" furniture set from number 53, An Lema. Nice mesh furniture, and the Looking Glass - emitting particles there - asks you what your heart's desire is when you click on it. I think I might have shocked it. No, no details of what I said to it, this is still Not That Sort Of Blog.<br />

Les Arts de Saint-Bruno at number 54 give us a bunch of portraits of Elizabeth I's court ladies. I've pulled out three of them, but there are quite a lot more. Neat mesh objects, good-looking. Well, as mesh objects they're good looking. Some of the court ladies, frankly, are a bit on the frumpy side.<br />

Number 56 went missing. Urid Dal's Hat Shop, they've been in several Hunts before, and they're always fun, so I hope all is well with them there! Anyway, we move on to Bibliotheque de Coeur at number 57, and they give us one of their little poetry-reciting books. In this case, it's Good Queen Bess herself that you get to click on. Personally, I'd be wary of clicking on Elizabeth I. Didn't do the Earl of Leicester much good, you know.<br />

Starting off with number 23, Black Magnolia Imports, who do texture packs. I'm always glad to see texture packs. Indeed, this Hunters' Delight texture packs, aptly enough, delights me. I'm not sure if a picture of a box delights you, dear readers, but never mind.<br />

Here's a Gold Renaissance Hiding Ring (the jewel is the lid of a compartment, it hinges up and down) and a Pearl and Emerald Necklace from 24, Thistle Moon Designs.<br />

Another ring, this time RLV scripted, from number 25, bacidalucia. But V3 doesn't support RLV by default, and Tali wasn't around anyway, and besides this is Not That Sort Of Blog, so the interesting features remain un-investigated.<br />

Collar of the Queen and matching Ring from !Never Ever! at stop 26. The gents get a Collar of the King, which seems to have a bolt-on supplement that I haven't investigated. I bet it's nice, though. !Never Ever! do good work.<br />

So, of course, does Rag Dollz at number 27. Here am I wearing Mirabelle in Blue, and standing next to the box for Maxwell, for the gents. Dunno why Maxwell needs that shield. I'm not that scary, am I?<br />

Dark Mask from Chimeric Arts at number 28. Gents get a Gold Half Mask instead. As usual, if you want to suggest this is an improvement, kindly keep that thought to yourself. Mask's nice, though.<br />

Stop 29 is Epic Toy Factory, and it supplies this charming scene, various bits of which are scripted to do stuff, not all of which I have yet tested. Bet it's fun, though. Go on, explore, adventure, you know you want to.<br />

SANNA Science & Art, animated textures specialists, supply this sparkly picture of Elizabeth R, suitable for incorporation into jewelry, some samples of which are provided. They do us proud, do SANNA. And it's sparkly. Though you can't see it sparkle in a still shot.<br />

Wearable chair from stop 31, Impertinences. Handy if you want to sit down somewhere you don't have rezzing rights, I suppose. Looks good, anyhow.<br />

So does... umm... Well, it's called LATE TO COURT!, it's by sculptor Haveit Neox, it comes from House of ACCentaury at number 32, and by jingo it's quite something. Decorative. Definitely decorative.<br />

Stop 33, Port Royal, gives us a canterbury. A canterbury is always handy. Boring people call them magazine stands, but the proper name is a canterbury, so that's what I'm calling it. It's a nice canterbury, too.<br />

Finally, for this tranche, All the Better to See You With, from number 40, Hudson's Co. This includes a pack of blue eyes (which would have been very handy back in the days when I was regularly human), and that hanging tapestry and the stool thing (with multiple animated sits). An interesting assortment, and high quality stuff.<br />
<br />
That takes me slightly past the half way point. If I can keep on like this, I will be finished before the Hunt is.

First up is this very decorative Diana Pavilion. Quite large for a gazebo; quite small for the architectural pieces included in this haul!<br />

First of several pairs of outfits, available for a range of different size avatars. I'm wearing the Elizabeth Regina outfit and you may be able to make out the Court Advisor for the gents on the box beside me.<br />

First of a substantial selection of furniture. I've only unpacked the furnishings for one room, here; there are several more in this one box, and there will be other boxes coming. (This is for the Library, if you were wondering.)<br />

Another change of outfit, this time to an Archer. The gentlemen get an Archer, too. It's very equal opportunities, is archery.<br />

More furniture, this time for a Morning Room. It includes a couple of portrait miniatures which are probably too small to make out, but which are rather nice.<br />

Elizabethan types kept hawks and dogs. Here's some of the stuff they used to keep them in.<br />

Water maze and gazebo. The grounds of your Elizabethan castle could be pretty extensive. With this lot in them, they'd have to be.<br />

Giant outdoor chess board - I've rezzed some pieces, but not the stands for the players and the spectators. An amazing amount of work has gone into all this, you know.<br />

Outfit time. You don't just get to play chess on the big board, you can dress up as live pieces. White ones, here. I'm the White Queen, you can tell from the hat.<br />

The Elizabethans got pretty devout, at least officially. Here's the furniture for a Prayer Room. I would have knelt at the altar, but I was worried that hat might fall off.<br />

Number 11 is The Vintage Touch, and they offer this Renaissance Standard, and therefore a chance for me to say their standards haven't dropped. Ho ho ho. Look, I take every chance I can get with these things.<br />

Here's the Cake Fox Furniture Court Seat Rug. Kind of a yoga mat thing, with a variety of sits for normal size avatars, tinies, and dinkies. I didn't try the tiny sits, as I have better things to do than dig my feet out of my ears at this time of night.<br />

Number 14 is Zoe's Garden, and they give us this very detailed Renaissance Carnation Arrangement.<br />

Here's me on the Wilmington Chaise from number 15, Park Place Home Decor. Gold crushed velvet and a range of sitting animations - solo only, unfortunately, so Tali couldn't join me.<br />

We're doing well for furniture tonight. This is a Tudor Writing Table from stop 16, Hearth & Home. Again, plenty of animations in the seats - there's me doing some (presumably Tudor) writing, there.<br />

Two outfits (female worn, male pictured on box) from number 18, Tayren's Fantasy Fashions. Renaissance Lady and Lord in Rust. Comes with a complete look - hair, skin, shape and eyes, too. I tried it on. It felt funny, not having long legs and a peculiar mouth. What the heck, it looks good, though.<br />

Unisex Renaissance Belt from number 19, Cog & Fleur. The sort of thing Batman might have worn in 1543. Cog & Fleur, by the way, was the first one where I opened my wallet and bought something along the way. They had a nice mad scientist's outfit and accompanying work table, I went for it.<br />

Finally - for this installment - two outfits from **DSO**; I'm wearing Elisabeth and you can see Eric on the box. Lots of Elizabethan gowns in this hunt, it seems. I ain't complaining.<br />
<br />
That's it for this post. Next up is the massive mini-hunt from Mountain Rose, which is, as ever, big enough to justify its own entry.Glorf Bulmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18312244361153234070noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759792076847182039.post-54728649156466771102015-09-15T16:40:00.000-07:002015-09-15T16:40:40.906-07:00The Renaissance Hunt V: First unpacking<i>:: mutter, grump :: Ruddy Microsoft Edge, pah :: grump, mutter ::</i><br />

The sudden flurry of posting is because I have recently upgraded, or at least changed, to Windows 10, and nothing quite works the way I expect it to, which includes image uploads on Blogger. In fact, they just hang indefinitely in MS Edge, I am having to do all this in Firefox and I don't know how well it will work here either, let me just see.<br />

Well thank goodness, it works. Now I just have to remember to do this blog in Firefox. Anyway. Stop 2 is Lantian Flox, where we get this nice decorative plaque with colour changing gems and Shakespeare quote. It is shiny. Indeed, this picture does not show how very specially shiny it is, someone has really gone to town on the specular mapping here.<br />

Stop 3 is Goddess Fantasies, and quite a number of items are included for ladies and gents. The ladies' items include this Freshwater Pearl necklace.<br />
<br />

I was wearing it in this shot, too, but it's hidden beneath the flexi ruff. Note also the matching pearl bracelet, and the mesh flowered headband peeking out from under that hair. The ladies do pretty well here.<br />

Don't know why, as this alchemist's workbench for the gents seems pretty unisex to me, and it's a neat thing. So, lots of nice prezzies from Goddess Fantasies, well done them!<br />

Moving on to number 4, Kittycats Creations, and their speciality of wearable/clickable drinks trays. This is A Fine Tray, offering a choice of five fine wines. And very nifty too, though I'm not too sure about the Wormwood Wine in the middle there.<br />

Stop 5 is Lindy Modern & Retro Shoes, and my outfit starts to go more peculiar as I hastily rummage out a pair of shorts that don't clash with these Sabine doe mesh boots. The gents get the Saban deerhide ones, which aren't shown, but which seem pretty similar, from the illustration. Only, y'know, more butch. <br />

Here's some cuteness and niftiness from stop 6, Lunar Seasonal Designs - Wandering and Eating Guinea Pigs. These cute little fellows meander around being guinea-piggy, until you either click another gadget to get rid of them, or click on that saucer of food on the ground there - at which point they make a bee-line for the saucer and tuck in. Apparently guinea pigs were imported into England in Tudor times. I never knew that.<br />

Here's me writhing in pain on the Infirmary Bed from stop 7, ~SWAN~. Too much Wormwood Wine, you see. The bed's kind of neat, it includes a range of different animations. No, not those sorts of animations, you filthy-minded people.<br />

Here's a Witches' Cauldron from stop 8, Hermione's Heavenly Sweet Boutique. Click it, and it quotes to you from the Scottish play, no less. Nice.<br />

"Elizabeth" mesh dress and accessories from stop 9, Tamiron Forge. Not half bad, and a lot more modest than I was expecting from a shop that's heavily into Gor and barbarians and stuff! The male giftie, not shown here, is described as "Sir Drake". I bet that's meant to be "Sir Francis" really. Pay attention, Americans, please; if someone is a Sir, they are Sir Firstname, not Sir Lastname. It dates from the origins of English surnames in early mediaeval times; if there were three Johns in your village, then John who fished in the river, you called John Fisher; John who had brown hair, you called John Brown; and John who had a big house and a big sword and rode around on a horse telling everyone else what to do, you called Sir. Simple, really. <br />

<br />
The fifth Renaissance Hunt, under the aegis of Perryn Peterson and the good folks of Historical Hunts, is up and running, and about midway through its month. If I work hard at this, I can open all the boxes and preview all the gifties before it comes to a close. If I work hard. What are the chances of that, eh?<br />
<br />
Anyway. The Renaissance Hunt is accompanied by a Renaissance Faire, which sprawls over Mieville Shelley and offers many mediaeval-style diversions, as well as a start and end point for the Hunt itself. It also has a mini-hunt, involving acorns concealed with rare and frustrating cunning about the Faire itself. Before setting out on the Hunt <i>qua </i>H<i></i>unt, let's have a look at what we can extract from those ten acorns. (Which were absolute b- err, nuisances - to find, some of them.)<br />

Some jewelry - a Renaissance Poesy ring from XMD and a rather nice bracelet from Thistle Moon. You can't make out much detail on the ring itself, but the pack shot in the background might help. Tali wondered if the engraving was in the Black Speech of Mordor, but I think she might have been worrying unnecessarily.<br />

And... what is that little fellow on my right shoulder? Is it, perchance, the Hunt gargoyle, obtained from stop number 1, the Faire itself, to help it rez in all subsequent locations? Why, yes, that is indeed what it is. The Hunt begins. The game, as they say, is afoot.<br />

More wandering at the birthday bash... I aimed for somewhere slightly familiar at first, the "Emphatic Eccentricia" build by Veleda Lorakeet. I used to run with that crowd myself for a while. Anyway, the build is typically creative and intriguing, and eventually I wound up standing on top of it and looking out on all the rest of the weirdness.</div>

I ventured into a high-tech ziggurat - you can see it in the top-right corner of the first picture of Meg's place. It is the "New World Enlightenment Fun House", apparently. It is confusing inside, like being trapped in a spirograph.<br />

I will pause there, so this post doesn't become unmanageable. I haven't covered a tenth of what's there to see in those sims. And they're only a small part of SL12B, too. It's quite an event.Glorf Bulmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18312244361153234070noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759792076847182039.post-71025357573567687482015-06-23T16:28:00.000-07:002015-06-23T16:28:14.803-07:00SL is twelve!That's like 84 in people years. (Internet years are like dog years, everyone knows that.)<br />
<br />
And the birthday bash is on again. I have been wandering around it for the past couple of evenings, in fact, seeing how far I can get before I crash. Not very far, in some cases - in fact, a software conflict with another running application took me all the way out of the welcome area in SL12B Beguile and into a Blue Screen Of Death. (Hadn't seen one of those on this machine. The BSOD for Win8.1 is a much friendlier blue than it used to be.)<br />
<br />
Beguile is impressive, but taxing on the client. I crashed. A guy was talking to me in a travel pod, and we crossed into Beguile, and, well, the sim crossing got him, like a sniper in 'Nam. Tali TP'ed in to have a look at the place, and she was crashing out all the time, she was flickering on and off like she was in Morse code. But... it is impressive. I gather it's supposed to be a haunted train station or something, with a train crashing into it out of the sky. Or something like that.<br />
<br />
Photos. I should have photos. Wait a minute, I <em>do </em>have photos. Let's see some.<br />

Hera and Heracles outfits from number 69, Tamiron Forge. The pack shot is at a strange angle, there, because although that Hera dress fits quite nicely, there is a slight problem with the underlying alpha texture, so I am standing in a position that doesn't show an inexplicable gap at the back of my left thigh. It's not insoluble. I'm sure I could cook up a decent alpha layer of my own, and the dress itself is rather nice.</div>

Blue glass tile, "Baby Bacchus" design, from 72, Buccaneer's Restorations. High-rez texture, also available in somewhat lower rez to help with sim lag.

Classical Tragedy mask from 73, Chimeric Arts and Fashions. Well made thing. Anyone suggesting it's an improvement, though, is going to get <em>such </em>a look.</div>

Emma's at Blue Moose, number 74, gives us this Roman Temple with a central plinth that rezzes a fire bowl. As I said at the time, I have enough temples from this Hunt to start my own religion.</div>

And so we come full circle to Mieville, and the end of the Hunt, and a couple of extra goodies for us. First off, this Black Urn from Timeless Décor....</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And the pink box it was standing on contained a pair of Posh Tales Ear Cuffs. You will note that we've reached that point where my outfit gets wildly eccentric, so perhaps it's for the best that we stop here!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And that's it. Gracious thanks are hereby extended to the indefatigable Perryn Peterson and his organizational team, to the fellow Hunters who make the whole thing so much easier and nicer, and of course to the merchants who provide both the good stuff and the fun puzzles we solve to get it.</div>

The amount of sheer <em>work </em>that goes into them is amazing in itself. Anyway. This time around, the theme is Rome and Egypt, with an emphasis on Antony and Cleopatra, so let's have a look at the massive 26 items in this mini-hunt. (Does it still qualify as "mini", at this point?)<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First off, this collection of Amazonian campaign gear - sleeping cots, clothes chest, weapons. All sound decorative stuff.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Double Crown of Egypt! Pros: symbol of absolute authority over both the Upper and the Lower Kingdoms, from the Mediterranean Sea to the Cataracts of the Nile. Cons: made my hair fall out.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Cleopatra's bedroom furniture. Apart from a couple of opening doors and lids, not scripted, but highly decorative nonetheless. Perhaps I shouldn't speculate as to what sort of scripts might be put in Cleopatra's bed.</div>

Cleopatra's library furniture. Essentially, walls covered with the ends of scrolls, plus a table and chair for working at. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First pair of outfit sets. "Amazonia" (worn) for the ladies, "Octavian" (visible on top of the box) for the gents. These pairs of themed outfits, in a range of sizes for adult and child avatars, have been a feature of the Mountain Rose mini-hunts.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Throne room furnishings. Dais and carpet and pot plants. There will be a throne along at some point later, don't worry.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ignore the box in the foreground, and concentrate on the wicker baskets in the background. These are Cobra Baskets, the one on the left containing a cobra which just lurks inside, the one on the right containing a cobra that goes for you when you open the lid. You can make it out if you squint. Night was falling in Burroughs, you see.</div>

Next pair of outfits. Hatshepsut for the ladies and Mark Antony for the gents. Hatshepsut is kind of outside the Ptolemaic period, really, but we won't hold that against anyone. You might be able to make out Mark Antony on the box lid, or you might not. He's there, anyway.</div>

Straightforward, well-build, Pantheon from 45, Dragon Magic Wares. We are doing very well for temples on this hunt. It's in theme, you see.</div>

This here is a Cake Fox Furniture Pillow Pile Tapestry. It's from number 48, Cake Fox. It has multiple sits and a HUD you can wear to set the colour of the carpet, but the <em>really </em>important thing is that it is not a CakeFoxFurniturePillowPileTapestry. Yes, folks, Cake Fox's spacebar is all better now! Yay! - Stop being facetious, Glorf. This is a nice piece of Cake Fox Furniture, by anyone's standards.</div>

Leaf plate from number 55, Keshiki Garden Center. I panicked a bit over this one, because I rezzed it, and didn't see anything happen at first... and it's no-copy... but when I cammed in close, I could see a little bit of that stalk handle sticking out of the ground, and the rest of it (for some reason best known to SL) was underground. Very odd. There are actually three of these, in different sizes - this is the Large one, and after nearly losing <em>that</em>, I didn't risk the Medium and Small ones.</div>

Number 61 is one of the drop-outs, so we move on to number 62 - and then take a break. So, finally, the Silk Roads Traveler outfit from Destiny's Designs - female version worn, male on the pack shot. Very elegant, and a range of mesh dresses (fitmesh and "standard" sizes) to choose from.</div>

Number 63 is missing, too, and that is the USC Texture Tomb, run by the normally completely reliable Eagle Wilder, so I just hope he is OK! However, his absence means... that the next thing on my agenda is the epic maxi-mini-hunt from number 64, Mountain Rose. This is always a <em>lot</em> of stuff, so I shall have to gird up my loins and tackle it forthwith. If not fifthwith.</div>

Anyway. Next bunch of new material from the Hunt.<br />

Ah, now, these were fun. Two "I wish I was a Roman statue" pose stands from 32, Lunar Seasonal Designs - one masculine pose, one feminine. You "sit" on the pedestal thing and assume a rigid pose. I got into the spirit of the thing and assumed a "Marble Statue" avatar I happened to have (from Adelle Arts, if you were wondering). That, plus the "Helen" plain white toga from earlier unpacking, allowed me to appear appropriately... statuesque.</div>

Silk Road Table from 39, MacMurfin's Read and Eatables, with neat auto-attaching objects for eating and drinking. No reading. Well, you can't have everything, and at least this one has an <em>octagonal </em>table, i.e., the right shape. I am still marmoreal in this shot. This is not important, it's just an excuse for me to say "marmoreal", I get so few opportunities to use that word in conversation. The table is nice, mind.</div>

I really mean <em>on </em>with the togas, don't I? They are not coming off, this is still Not That Sort Of Blog. This is another mesh one, from number 27, DSO. It's called Vesta. The gents get Vulcan, you can see him on the pack shot, looking butch.</div>

Fun things from number 28, Celtic Creations. The merchant's stall thing to the right is pretty ordinary, but the vineyard and grape-treading vat (complete with animation and wine-stained feet stockings) is a joy. Tali was amused, even though I'd just shoved a vine through her head.</div>

(I have messed up my numbering, by the way. Hermione's Heavenly Sweet Boutique was number 16, with the teddy bear, and has been in place since the get-go, no problems there. It's number 17 which is now a new number 17. Sorry about that.

<br />
Silk Road VI covers seventy-odd shops, some of them <em>very </em>odd, and its theme is Ancient Rome. How Roman will it get? Well, it made me Rome all the way through it (oh, come on, you knew that was coming, didn't you?) and now I have reached Unpacking Isle and begun the unpacking.<br />
<br />
(You will note that 1) I am temporarily back to human form for this thing, and 2) for several of these entries, I should have made myself a larger Unpacking Isle.)<br />

Stop 3 is Goddess Fantasies, and they provide this rather neat little temple, with some accessories (the blue lamps and the mystic pyramid that emits whirly things) available separately. A close-up view, if I'd done one, would show some neat work done with specular maps.</div>

Library sites Bibliotheque de Coeur and Illuminations have merged, and are both at stop 5, and provide two little talking scrolls. Lady Ban recites a poem on the left scroll, and Xue Tao recites from the right. And jolly nice too.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is a sample of the stuff from number 6, Salome Designs: a set of phantom mesh components for a Roman-style aqueduct. This is nice. This is <em>very </em>nice, and if I ever had the need for some Romanesque sim decorations, this would be just the stuff. It wouldn't be a lot of trouble to stick in enough invisible real prims to make this convincingly solid, too.</div>

Number 7, Rozamyndi's, provides a male outfit and a female one. This is the female one. Oh, you guessed. Unfortunately, the box for the male one doesn't show what's in it, and I don't really have the physique to demonstrate it. Never mind.</div>

Here's me lounging on Oriental Lounging Cushions from number 12, Hearth & Home. Several lounging poses are included, most of them too risqué in that skirt.</div>

Number 13 is not ready yet, so I console myself by going over to number 14, Pixel Perfect Productions, and picking up a parasol. There are also flip-flops, for males and male Slink feet, which are not depicted, owing to the unsuitability of my feet. (A further development relating to my feet may or may not be addressed some time. It's not relevant to this, though.)</div>

Number 15 is Arcadia Asylum... you pick up a number of things on the way, and then the actual prize is that brazier thing you see in the foreground, and the flying squid you can see following me (as usual, I'm in favour of anything with tentacles. I'm a sucker for tentacles, ho ho ho), and the main thing, that perfectly spiffy Neptune's Roman Chariot vehicle drawn by hippocampi.</div>

Number 16 has also not made it yet. Number 17, Hermione's Heavenly Boutique, donates a themed teddy bear, which I think they've done for the last three Hunts I've been on. This is a Roman Centurion Bear with a sweet little cuddly pilum for hurling at his enemies and adorably impaling them.</div>

Number 18 is Jan's Bazaar, and (as is oft her wont) Janeel Kharg has put together a mini-hunt with a whole heap of decorative items as prizes. You can see some of them here, mostly stood on or around this pool-and-changing-room piece. Note the chairs. Plenty of chairs so far. </div>

And where there are chairs, there are temples. And more incidental decoration. Jan has, in fact, given us pretty much everything but the kitchen sink.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For that, you have to go to number 19, [noctis]. (OK, it's actually a Marissa's Bathroom Sink, but I have moved it, conceptually, to the kitchen for the sake of a cheap laugh.)</div>

Number 20, SANNA Science and Art, provide animated textures, as is oft <em>their </em>wont. Water ripples and animated carp, sufficient to build (for example) this sample fishpond. Well, I have no criticism of this. You know me, I'm not one to carp.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At that point, I shall stop. And not before time, some would say. More will follow, with hideous inevitability.</div>
