Holda

This is a FREE gift for members of the teleporthub.com group.  The group is L$10 to join.

The top, skirt, and belt are all one piece, and the delivery HUD allows you to pick from the following sizes for delivery: Lara, Lara Petite, Freya, Isis, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Hourglass, Kupra, and standard mesh sizes.  Having the delivery HUD work like this is a great idea, you don’t have to clean up all the sizes you’ll never wear afterwards!

The outfit also comes with a fatpack HUD that includes sixteen colors for the top, eight colors for the skirt, and eight colors for the belt.  You can also choose from one of eight metals for the belt buckle!

Although it’s one piece, this is a really nice gift, and you should run and get it before it disappears!


BF Telescope Dome

This year at the Sci Fi Con, I’ve finally released the clam shell telescope dome I’ve promised for so long.  I originally modeled this over four years ago, and while the model worked and I have it in SL, I was never happy with its look, the pivot plates for the shells were far too clunky.

So, about two years ago, I remodeled it and I was much happier with its look, so I went to upload it on the beta grid… and I couldn’t log in!  A little research found that the beta grid had not worked since the AWS uplift project.  So, I shelved the project waiting for the beta grid be fixed…

Only a couple of weeks ago, I remembered that I still hadn’t uploaded this, and I wanted it for this Con… and couldn’t find the Blender model!  A mad search ensued, including searching my backup archives and after about an hour, I realized that it might be on an old USB stick I’d replaced.  After another 10 minutes of searching drawers (I never throw out USBs, they end up in the bit bucket drawer) I found the file!

Here’s the closed dome in my garden at home.

The dome is 100% mesh and weighs in at 8 land impact, sized to hold either of the BF telescopes.  It has a hatch, purely for decorative purposes (although I might make it avatar-usable at some stage) which will open on touch, and the shells will open on the second touch.

The shells will also open and close on telescope start and stop, which is appropriate for the carbon truss scope.  However, if you open the dome manually, the dome will ignore telescope start and stop, which makes sense for the Newtonian.  Like other components of the telescope systems, it contains a modifiable notecard to set a channel if you wish to group a number of telescopes and domes together.  Just make sure the channel notecards in each group agrees.

You can see and test the dome at my in-world store, at my booth at the 14th Sci Fi Con, or on the marketplace.

Now for the sugar 🙂  If you purchased either the BF Telescope of the BF Carbon Truss Telescope before the start of the Sci Fi Con (before midnight the 17th of May 2022) and you decide to purchase a dome, send me a notecard with your login name and the transaction detail of your dome purchase, and I’ll give send you a 50% refund!

As with all my products, there’s a lifetime FREE update promise, and be certain to contact me via any of the support methods if you have an issue.


Sci Fi Con sneak peek

Being an exhibitor, I get early access to the Sci Fi Con to set up, which gives me an opportunity to run around and do some photos (seeing today is press day)!

Here are a few vistas that caught my eye from walking around the nine sims.  Hopefully these will perk your interest to pay a visit to the event, and support SL Relay For Life while you’re at it!

Recently, I’ve been showing you some past group gifts by Blackbird Lace.  Here’s another (spectacular) one!

The outfit includes the wings, boots and dress.  The collar and bracers are included as part of the dress.  The dress and boots are sized to fit Lara, Legacy, and Hourglass.  The wings are scripted to animate on attach, but seem to have a problem with being overridden by other animation priorities and stopping.  The wings also revert to a specific size when detached, resized, then reattached.  I’m guessing with a couple of minutes of scripting, I could fix both these issues, but well, the outfit is awesome just as it is!

This is a FREE gift for members of Hysteria’s group.  The group is FREE to join.

It’s sized for Lara, Lara Petite, Reborn, Kupra, Legacy, and Legacy Perky.  It comes with an alpha layer, and a four color HUD.  While you’re there, the store also have some other group gifts available, so pick them up too!


Pamela

This is a past group gift by Blackbird Lace.  Their group is FREE to join.

The skirt and top are all one piece, and their are sizes for Lara, Altamura, Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, TMP, Physique, and Hourglass.  The texturing tricks on this are very convincing.  I think I’d have to model those side pockets to get the shadows right!


Decade

Blueberry promised a new group gift for members, and I picked it up when I finally got into the Blueberry 10th Anniversary Sale the other day!

In the package we have a dress, panties, and the top of the dress as a shirt.  All pieces are sized to fit Lara, Lara Petite, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Physique, Reborn, Kupra, and Kupra Cups.  The mesh detail is wonderful!

Being a fatpack, it comes with a huge HUD containing the typical Blueberry palette of colors and patterns for different parts of the outfit.

For these photos, I’ve worn an applier bra/slip combination with it as well, the shirt is pretty wide open!


Moo?

I showed you one of the gifts from the Miix Event yesterday, but this, this is the main event gift lol

There are cow print shoes, panties, the skirt and top, earrings, and yes, a cow plushie 🙂  Sizes include Lara, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Freya, Isis, Kupra, and Hourglass.  The shoes are sized for Slink High, Belleza, Maitreya, Legacy, and Kupra.

I have a friend who collects cow related things (I recently made her a cow cuckcoo clock for her birthday hehe).  She’s gonna love this!


Contessa

This is one of a few gifts at this round of the Miix Event.  Miix is a recurring event that starts on the 30th of each month and runs until the 20th of the next.  You can pick up this gift simply by joining the FREE event group.

The top and super low-slung (!) capris are separates.  The top is sized to fit Lara, Lara Petite, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Freya, Physique, Hourglass, Kupra, Kupra Low, and Kupra Bimbo, and the capris will fit all the same bodies.  The top is very nicely done, with lots of nice detail around the side ties.

Included is a HUD with eleven pattern choices for the top, and eight for the capris
