Mycenaean Ox Figurine

The function of the lovely Mycenaean figurines this ox is inspired by is unknown: they may have been children's toys, votive figurines, or grave offerings...

The real-life versions are tiny. We've made them bigger for SL - so big in fact, that in the case of this ox, we've turned it into a make-shift seat! The "Ox chair" comes with a female pose, a unisex one, and a "petite" pose. Try them in-world at our main store!
There's also a small version that will look good on a shelf, to decorate your home.

The pattern, although heavily inspired by talented Mycenaean artists, is hand-drawn. The materials use custom specular and normal maps.
Featuring original mesh and textures, your Ox Figurine also benefits from fine-tuned Level of Details and Physic shapes. What it means to you is that it'll look good up close and personal and from afar too, while still keeping a reasonable land impact.

PERMISSIONS:
Mod,Copy,No trans.
The version with seats will show as No Mod in your inventory, but you will be able to modify it when rezzed.

FEATURES:
- Includes three versions: one small, one large, and a bonus large one with sits (AVSitter system)
- Land Impact 2
- Mesh + advanced materials

Updated banner

We've updated the banner. We kept the colour scheme but simplified the design. It's a lot more readable now.

Squeeeee!

Another WIP :-)

Amphora: Warriors

This amphora comes all the way from the Bronze Age.

The pattern, although heavily inspired by talented Mycenaean artists, is hand-drawn (hand-vectored-and-painted, technically!). The materials use custom specular and normal maps.

Two versions are included: one "new" amphora, and one that, frankly, has seen better days. It's just a little cracked. It's still perfectly usable as long as you don't mind a small leak every now and then. (Mop not included, by the way.)

Featuring original mesh and textures, your Amphora also benefits from fine-tuned Level of Details and Physic shapes. What it means to you is that it'll look good up close and personal and from afar too, while still keeping a reasonable land impact.

FEATURES:
- Includes two versions: one "new", and one antique.
- Land Impact 2
- Mesh + advanced materials

Pottery WIP

Quite pleased with this one... I'll now need to work on a damaged version of it.

Little things that probably no one will see: I've tweaked the diffuse map, gloss map, and so on so to get rid of the seams by using the clone brush and smear brush directly in Blender. Took me a while to find that trick. That's different from my usual workflow, which was a painstaking process of endlessly switching between 2D and 3D apps.

By the way, I ran into an annoying issue with Blogger. It took me two days to submit this post because of this horror:

Blergh!

Google+ introduced the Auto-Enhance feature a few months back - feature I promptly turned off with my Google+ account, the one that's linked to my real identity.

Unfortunately it's switched on by default on Picasa Web Albums accounts as well... and if you don't have a Google+ account, there's no way to turn it off. Hence this lovely, "enhanced" creation. I had to create a Google+ account for Raindrop Drinkwater just to set my preferences! Stupid. I deleted it immediately, but seriously, how backwards is that???? Get your stuff together, Google.
