The above picture was taken at Consequence [slurl], a sweet shop and club brought to you by Islara Moon, Zero Ethaniel and Vencenza Aeon. I’ll have more on Consequence in a later article; for now, I’d like to talk about STARMEN.
Pixel showed me one of these starmen that Islara and Ven had introduced her to, and I was mystified to say the least. I wanted one too! And this prompted a quick adventure. Our first stop? Comet Corp.
Comet Corp [slurl] is a little open-air sky shop known mainly for its SYMMETRIZOR, a spiffy tool that makes “reflected builds with just one click!”, according to its description. (It takes an object and replicates a backwards-reflected version of it.) But I will always forever refer to the place as the starman factory! You can grab one of the little guys here as a L$1 “freebie”. At that point, I had my starman, but the journey wasn’t over…
Check out the spiffy looking landscaping! Up close, it kind of has an ethereal look to it – the flowers, dandelions and high grass. It also seemed to swirl and sway as if from a breeze. Pixel and I sat around for a while before figuring out that they’re actually particles! After searching around, I found the center of one of these swirling flower bunches, and discovered that each “meadow” consisted only of four prims… very impressive. We had to know where they came from.
Our search brought us to FluffyGreen Meadows [slurl]. Leendert Meriman, the creator of the the particular meadow I saw at Comet Corp, seems like a fun and interesting kiddo. He and Lalelu Kidd sell a few different kinds of meadows in their “shop”, which is really more like a grove or clearing in the woods. The innovation involved in what they create is too cool!
After shopping around a bit, Pixel and I settled on the dandelion patch as the best in the bunch. But um… seeing as how we live on a beach front, we weren’t sure how we were going to incorporate it into our land :p When we figure something out, we’re definitely going to go back and pick it up!
If you’re a landscaper or if you just want to spruce up your land with a nice patch or field of fluffy flowers, you should definitely stop by the shop and check out the products they have to offer. Or even if not, stop by to check out how cool they are :) Also note that there are freebies here! (The L$0 kind.)
