Bienvenidos a Habibi Paradise!

hello bonjour gutten tag ciap
mon nouveau projet , my last project

New release today. I was intending to make these flowers for a while and finally did them. Day Lilies and "Tiger" Lilies. In my garden, the flowers I call Tiger Lilies are really just larger Day Lilies. The real Tiger Lilies are different, I know, but I named them as I knew them :).

It was bound to happen sooner or later but I ended up making a weed.
Fluffy dandelions are out by the landing zone. They have several versions and particle fluff (wind enabled of course haha). The pieces are included separate so you can have with or without the floaty fluff and leaves etc.
For obvious reasons, lumberjack AVs are not permitted in Tree House Park. Everyone else is welcome. Each tree house has it's own theme, for example, there's the Tree House Of Time. Be sure to visit on the hour if you like chimes. hop://fireandicegrid.net:8002/Xinashi/1740/1053/26 If you like chirps, visit the Bird House Tree House. hop://fireandicegrid.net:8002/Xinashi/1707/982/26. If you like cars and/or bars, The Car Bar Tree House is for you. hop://fireandicegrid.net:8002/Xinashi/1699/1014/38. If you are looking for something else entirely, visit the other Xinashi islands. Each also has it's own theme, be it wild, wacky or wonderful.

In the event of heavy winds or storms, some heavier furniture in the garden is helpful. Concrete, now that's sturdy :D, table, seats and a bird bath.

Halloween is not celebrated where I live, you get some spoopy candy from groceries stores lately and that's pretty much it so naturally I'm fascinated by it.

To make your avatar extra spoopy I made a skull you can wear replacing your head, there's a boy version with a moustache and a girl version wearing a bow. It's rigged mesh and I'm including the proper alpha to hide your avatar head.

This should work for meshies too, but I never tried, if you do let me know how it works!

Happy Tuesday!
Did you know?

There's a Chinese tradition to craft paper lanterns for their new year with the animal of that year. They are very decorative and dress up any place that's either Chinese inspired or beginning of the XX century inspired where the far east was in all the rage.

My Chinese Lantern is from 2019, the year of the pig (I'll soon make a 2021 one), it's completely automatic turning on by itself when the sun goes down. Also to save scripts it works with a master-slave configuration where you rez one single master that contains the script and then link all the slaves you want to be controlled by the master.

Happy Monday!
Did you know?

Fitted mesh was a middle step between the classic mesh were you had to choose your clothes between several sizes and bento mesh that has a great deal of flexibility.

Fitted mesh adapts pretty well to most regular avatars but it's never perfect as you need to add an alpha layer to prevent parts of the avatar to poke through the clothes.

This minidress was one of my first attempts to make a fitted mesh for girls, it comes in several colours and I included all the textures in the box, so you can customize it to your taste perfectly.

Happy Sunday!

Security orbs sometimes are needed, either to keep your privacy and protect your place from unwanted visitors or to grant access to a list of people only to certain places on your sim.

Many orbs works with a black list: that means they allow everyone and block whoever is in the list. Mine works with a white list: My orb will only grant access to whoever is in the list and reject everyone else.

It supports HG names and the area it covers is a cube, not a sphere, so it's easier to give a precise cover area for your security needs.

Also, you can resize it without break it =)

Happy Sunday!
This is a beautiful Heart Bezel solitaire in Ruby. It is bento rigged so it increased the LOD it is a bit heavy. The mesh was reduced 50% prior to rigging too. For those that demand bento, and to the ones who scream at me for being heavy, I have to say, sorry but had to do it!! You can find it in the Bento rings section in the Foyer.

GRAND OPENING WILL BE COMING SOON

Gerbera daisies, a flower I always liked. I did several configurations and included a plain daisy on a stem in case anyone wants to use them in a vase.

Did you know?

I've a railing kit available at the shop, it's inspired in aeronautic materials and construction, the holes on the supports are to reduce weight while keeping it structurally sound.

The kit is counter intuitive: the longest axis goes into the air and the handrail is hanging down instead of the usual arrangement. This adds a bit of interest at a visual level but also performs a practic function: It frees the pedestrian space so you can get as close at the handrail as possible without bumping against a piece of metal. The reason of that is my own experience stumbling upon railings in ocean cruisers, it's not fun.

If you want to see this kit deployed just visit my store, the platforms where the buildings are have those railings all around.

Happy Thursday!
I thought I would post a pic of one of my favorite builds. It's the elevator in my shop building. I haven't put it out to take since it's quite specific to it's location and unfortunately it wouldn't modify well. You can however ride up and down on it thanks to some nice scripting by my friend Aaack at Arcadia. There is even a little "ding" noise when it arrives at it's destination. Someday there will even be items on the second floor...

Making glass in-world is incredibly difficult, the glass must reflect something in order to be convincing, also it must have some completely opaque features (normally hard light reflections) and very transparent parts (reflections of a dark part of the environment).

On top of that challenge you need to somehow deal with the alpha bug (that bug that makes semi transparent things to flicker and appear in front of another part of the object when it should be at the back).

My Orange Juice set deals with all that using tricks I discovered while I did this object, for example to prevent the alpha bug you need to have two separate pieces, the inner part and the outer shell, if you make it one piece it will have the z-bug.

Of course I added an empty set (not OJ) for decoration too and it's a giver: it'll deliver a refreshing OJ glass to whom clicks on it =D

Happy Tuesday!

NEW !! BIKES & Cars added to the car and Bike shop

This week: JOIN US IN MALDIVES! Beautifully tropical and romantic, we love to wine and dine in this balmy, sandy paradise! Travel with Clan and Clan's Band to new vacation destinations each Friday at 1PM throughout June and July as we highlight all our favorite collective adventures. It's the most fun you can have without actually leaving home ;) Clan sings LIVE of course!

Did you know?

The pose stand I offer contains six different poses that may look a bit off, too exaggerated perhaps.
That's absolutely intentional, I created each pose to inspect carefully how different parts of your outfit will react at extreme bends of your avatar's articulations. The main idea behind the poses are to adjust your attachments until you look as spectacular as you deserve to be!

(Also, unplug if wet and the QR code on the back is real).

Happy Friday (yay Friday!)
Did you know?

The mate (pronounce it as mah-teh), is the name of a very local infusion like tea: the plant is called yerba mate, it has a very unique flavour and it's mainly consumed in Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay. The way of drinking mate is put ground yerba mate leaves on the recipient (also called mate, because we love to confuse people), and then add water. You drink it through a metal straw called bombilla.

My mate is a literal copy of the one I use everyday at home, it's a giver so when you click on it, it'll give you a mate and a thermos to refill it, exotic!

Happy Tuesday!

New Release at Encantada. This one is another replica of a RL sculpture.
The Spoon Bridge and Cherry are in the Sculpture Garden in Minneapolis.
My version is located just to the left of the main shop building. You definitely can't miss it :D. It can be resized, you just may need to adjust the water particle script.

Sit, have a drink and enjoy the sunset with someone special

Did you know?

The Fokker Dr.1 had a rotary engine, that means the whole engine rotated with the propeller, it was cutting edge tech for WWI! However those engines couldn't actually throttle, you could make it slightly faster and slower by modifying the mix of fuel/air and that was that.

My replica tries to emulate that by allowing you to throttle it from 70% to 100% only, so to land you need to actually cut the engine and if you want to stop once on land you need to turn your engine off, otherwise you will end smacking your tushy against something and no one wants that, right? =D

Happy Sunday!
Did you know?

The Lunar Roving Vehicle I offer at the shop is based on the Apollo XV mission, the first one that used the vehicle.

To make it as accurate as possible I found the original Boeing manual for the thing and copied it as best as I could, each Apollo mission had a slightly different LRV, particularly the tools it carried, this one was the simplest one so to save geometry and make it as light as possible I choose the very first one that went to the moon.

You can try it at the runway or just get your copy, it's easy to drive as it doesn't have gears, just sit and drive!

Have a great Wednesday!

So happy, I finally finished the interior of the Jedi-Temple :)

I try to make plants that fit into different environments. I was looking for tropical plants that flowered and ended up making these Araceae plants.

Did you know?

The bridges installed next to the shops are the very last pure prim builds I've ever did.

These relics of the past are still available on the shop, and I personally still use the bridge's columns for other purposes. This clearly demonstrates that prims have it's place in the metaverse along with mesh.

So give a hug to the nearest plywood cube =)
