Are you ready for the Christmas Sale?

Monday, December 15, 2008
You heard it right... if you thought the prices on the prefabs were great during the Thanksgiving weekend, you will be glad to hear that the same prices are going to be available from Dec 21st to Dec 26th.

I have not changed the Thanksgiving sale prices back to normal prices after thanksgiving. The new sale prices therefore are available for you right now.

Most of the livingroom seating items will be discontinued after Dec 31 2008. They will be replaced by new items. So if you must complete that living room you've been working on, now is the time.

The Ottoman Prefab Re-released as Version 3.0

Saturday, November 29, 2008

Unfortunately the remote I installed on the door for version 2.0 was not working as planned. It was making a significant part of the house phantom. I had to repackage the house.

While I was doing the repackaging, I also changed the root prims of each of the sections which should result in better rezzor behavior and fewer complaints about pieces getting trapped in land.

If you've bought the version 2.0 of this house and would like the new update, please send me a landmark to where you have it rezzed and I will visit to confirm and drop you a new copy free of charge.

Mission Home Store Philosophy:
My building rationale and point of view can be summed up by one word: Quality.

If it does not look right, if it does perform well then it is not for sale, then it is not given out, then it is not even made public.

I build everything prim by prim, to look aesthetically pleasing in the SL rendering engine. I first build primmy prototypes and then refine the prim work until only the most essential prims are left behind and every opportunity for prim efficiency has been explored. Is my work still primmier than the rest? Of course it is; But you must admit the look and feel is also quite different.

I texture everything a single face at a time to make concrete look like concrete, to make wood look like it was quarter sawn from actual trees, to make fabrics wrap just right around the cushions.

A typical chair like the bow arm chairs that are Stickley replicas can take up to 8 hours of rezzing and texturing and additional cost of the top of the line animations and sit scripts I use.

My philosophy as a builder is forever remaining in quest of that perfect balance between primmy and texture heavy builds. I think builds should look like real things; This is why it is very important not to overdo the textures.

I have lately employed the use of sculpties in my furniture as well as huge prims in my prefabs to still bring you the Troy Vogel quality you've come to expect in a lower prim footprint.

I am also bringing you the best in SL animations with each item providing at least 2-3 animations and poseball-less sit scripts that allow you to adjust your position, angle using menu driven easy to use interface that actually remembers your settings in future visits up to 100 users.
