The Neighborhood – September release + other news!

So for those who’ve been asking, yes, the Organica main store is still officially closed for renovations. Organica will, however, be participating in this Saturday’s run of The Neighborhood and visitors can pick up my item upon TP in.

This month, pick up this set of seven snack items which would be perfect in any kitchen or restaurant. They are a continuation of the Late Night Munchies theme I started last month and are a great add-on to the set.

Three ice-cream flavours are included, plus pretzels, frites, curry fish balls and takoyaki – all great snack foods for yourself or shared between friends! Each item in this set is 1 LI, with the exception of the pretzel plate, however you should be able to de-link the pretzels at 1LI each if you so choose.

The whole set is mod/copy and offered at an introductory price of L$200 this Saturday, only at the Organica main store!

Additionally, be sure to drop by Organica’s location at The Nest Sept 1 thru 7th for some deep discounts as part of the sim-wide Labour Day Sale!

Renovation Sale ends soon!

50off

Just as a reminder, the Renovation Sale wraps up this weekend!
As an aside, the last post I wrote about this lists the incorrect date of August 17 – the sale actually ends at 11:59PM on August 18. Pop on by to take advantage of some great discounted items, some of which we won’t be seeing in store again! Please also note the sale is *in store only*.

After 12:00AM August 19, Organica will temporarily close for renovations, but you can get most of the products on Marketplace, here.

Organica’s first contribution to The Neighborhood

The Neighborhood is a new bi-weekly home & garden-themed event featuring a select group of quality content creators which starts at MIDNIGHT August 3 2013 and ends at 11:59PM SLT the same day!

LNM-tableset-vendor

This time around, Organica offers the following four-piece table set, which features a reclaimed wood table, vintage stools and a hanging lamp, all materials-optimized but also great for normal viewing with any mesh viewer. Stools come with eight poses and animations can easily be adjusted via the NPose animation system. This set is mod/copy/no transfer and offered at a low introductory price of L$200. Be sure to drop in today; this introductory pricing will end afterward!

Available in-store only for the duration of this promotion!

Something Old, Something New… Oh. and a Sale.

 

 

It’s nearly been a month since my last post and just to catch folks up to where things are at now with Organica, The Home Show closes in a couple of days, so if you would like to explore a great collection of home and garden decor shops all in one place, you only have a few days to do so. Organica items which were showing exclusively at the event will make their way to the main store and you’ll be able to pick them up like any other normal release.

Additionally, I neglected to include a non-exclusive release in the last blog post – it was an item released at the same time but also available at the main store:

FrameCollection-vendor

This package of photo frames features three collections of photos I’ve taken over the past three years. It also includes a blank copy of the frames, which would allow you to add up to 8 of your own photos! It’s unscripted, mesh, and optimized for materials-enabled viewers. 1LI each, mod/copy/transfer. Available in store and on the Marketplace.

 

New Releases:

Folks who have dropped by within the last week or so may also have noticed the following other new releases, available on the grounds and in the main shop:

Alder3-vendor Alder4-vendor

These new additions to the Alder line are lightweight mesh trees featuring upward or ‘apical’ growth and foliage for multiple seasons. Each package includes unscripted green, autumn and winter foliage trees, as well as one scripted version which switches between the three. Alder 3 is a single tree at 12LI (at a packaged size of 12x16x25m), while Alder 4 is a cluster of trees coming in at 5LI (at a packaged size of 14x11x16.5m). Both trees are available either as mod/trans or mod/copy editions and both are now available in the main store or on Marketplace (Alder 3, Alder 4).

Next, a new building is now available, suitable for both ground and sky use.

Cliffcrest-Vendor

 

The Cliffcrest Skyloft was initially conceptualized to be modern skybox taking advantage of large windows and a skylight to let in light. As such, while there is slight shadow baking applied to this building and all users should be able to enjoy it that way, it is suggested that you enjoy this building with deferred rendering enabled.

This build allows for some limited modifications – the build is divided in half, but the central wall can be removed, as can both balcony railings, foundation posts and stairs (on the ground version).

By default, each coalesced object included in this package includes script-operated blinds for control in opacity. These are optional and not directly linked to the building, so you can use or remove them as you see fit.

The overall layout is also intended to be useful for either residential or commercial use. Available mod/copy, in-store on the grounds as well as on Marketplace.

Retirement Sale:

It’s been almost a year since the last major store sale and revamp, and in preparation for some major upcoming changes, a variety of products have been marked down and will remain so until they are permanently retired on August 17, 2013.  PLEASE NOTE: mod/trans versions of discounted items are being retired immediately – they are no longer available. If you wish to send a copy of these items as a gift, please left click the vendor box and follow the directions.

After August 17, the store will be closed temporarily, after which I am excited and look forward to introducing many new products!

Drop by soon and check out the new items and sale, here!

Organica at The Home Show

Starting tomorrow (July 1, 2013), along with 47 other Home and Garden shops,  Organica will be participating in The Home Show, which runs from July 1 thru 31 at Le Petite Roche and Argentina Amor sims.

 

Four new items will be exclusive for the duration of the event and are as follows:

HangingIvyPlanter1-vendor

 HangingBambooPlanter1-vendor

Both of the above items are great for indoor or outdoor use. They are each 1LI and being mesh, require at least a mesh-capable viewer. Fill in those empty corners or perhaps divide up a large empty space? Or maybe hang from the eaves of your new home? Additionally, while both of these look great already, you can further decrease alpha flickering by using a materials-enabled viewer and enabling ‘advanced lighting’. Mod, copy, no transfer.

Cameron-Vendor

 

Snapshot_008 Snapshot_005 Snapshot_004

This new building features three fully built floors, detailed textures, a cafe on the ground floor and a loft on the upper floors. It’s 120LI at packaged size (unfurnished) with a 12.5x36m footprint.You’ll also be able to preview this new building on-site at Organica. Mod, copy, no transfer, with some copy-only scripts.

Finally,

EspressoMachine-red-vendor

EspressoMachine-black-vendor EspressoMachine-blue-vendor EspressoMachine-white-vendor

These new espresso machines are currently props and would be great additions to any cafe, restaurant or home kitchen. Included in each package is a regular and materials optimised edition – while the product features quality baked textures, the addition of materials allows for more realistic metal gleam and overall more quality glossiness. 1LI at packaged size, mod, copy, no transfer.

Find all of these items and MORE in Organica’s booth at The Home Show!

Sugar Glider HUD update

A bug was reported and fixed earlier today, relating to the eye control portion of the Sugar Glider HUD, where the pupils resized to the wrong scale and proportion. This has been fixed with v1.01.

[box type=”info”] Please note: One Sugar Glider HUD is sufficient to control any set of Sugar Glider eyes. If you have multiple avatars, you only need to update one HUD and you can delete the rest.[/box]

For Transfer only editions:

Check the description field of the package. If the field is BLANK: You must LOCK IN at least one avatar to get the updated HUD. Instructions for how to do so can be found in the notecard inside the package.

If the description field of the package shows ‘UPDATED JUNE 14 2013’, please proceed normally

For Mod/Copy editions:

UpdateChecker-smlIf you have already locked your av choice in, please TP to the Wilds of Organica shop and rez your updater prim. Please be patient – it takes a little while for the update server to check for your update.

 

New Sugar Glider Avatars for The Arcade Gacha Event

Wilds of Organica returns to The Arcade this month with a brand new bipedal mesh tiny!

SugarGlider-Vendor-1024

The Arcade is a quarterly event featuring dozens of excellent designers, providing hundreds of different prizes through gachapon style vending machines!

This time, I’ll be offering sugar gliders as a prize. Each play is L$100 and there are a possible 12 coats to collect! Each avatar comes with mesh body, tail, customizable eyes and an animation overrider. Two rares are available – chances of getting one or the other are pegged at 5%.

Please note: While the vending machine dispenses transfer-only editions of these avatars, you can always lock-in your avatar by exchanging the transferable edition for the mod/copy edition. Doing this will also entitle you to any updates available for the avatar.

Do drop by The Arcade (it opens June 1 2013 and runs thru the month) and check out the great items being offered this time around! (It’s not even completely set up yet and the offerings are already awesome!) You can also join The Arcade – Gacha Events group as well as explore the various gacha yard sales to trade, buy or sell items if you wish!

Organica at Home & Garden Expo 2013

Organica returns to the Home and Garden Expo this year with a variety of new products!

StStony-vendor
First up, this new structure is the product of a lot of research and construction to capture the essence of an abandonment located in Detroit, called St. Agnes (later, Martyrs of Uganda Parish), but better known as St. Stony by many urban explorers.

Snapshot_018-sml

Built during the early 1900s, the structure was abandoned by 2006 and has fallen victim to a great many acts of vandalism; metal parts have been salvaged for scrap, ornate tiles removed and smashed, pews torn away and organ smashed to bits. By the time I got a chance to visit in late 2010, graffiti had crept ideas way to the interior, and things have only gotten worse since then. While the building was acquired in 2012 once again, it remains to be seen whether the building will be restored or simply torn down, like so much of Detroit has been in recent years.

In any case, the key goal for me with this project was to preserve a sense of the building as I remember it, rather than to produce a straight copy, and hopefully that comes across here.
Snapshot_017-sml

The building is 36m by 60m, with a 20m ceiling and 35m spire. It is packed in a rezzer for easy unpacking and placement, and features high quality textures, efficient modeling, scripted doors, optional window light rays. It’s mod/copy/no- transfer, with some copy- only scripts.

Chandelier-vendor

This wrought iron chandelier is low LI and compliments many environments quite well.  This item is unscripted, and offered mod/copy/no-transfer.

AmazonLily-fatpack-vendor

These new Amazon lilies are ideal for rivers or ponds. 1 li at packaged size, unscripted. Mod/copy/no transfer.

Additionally, drop by to pick up some new RFL-exclusive items! Both are mod/copy/no transfer and being mesh, require a mesh capable viewer. They are RFL exclusives, so remember to pick them up while the fundraiser is on! (Other RFL exclusives from previous years will also be available in the main store as well as on-site at Home Expo)

AmazonLily-RFLpurple-vendor

TulipFlowers-RFL-vendor

Drop by Organica’s spot at Home & Garden Expo to view these items for the duration of the show (May 24, 12PM to June 2), after which everything will be moved to the main store.

New for FaMESHed!

Snapshot_006-sml

As part of FaMESHed’s first birthday celebrations, Organica will be making a return to the event with this new furniture set, designed around Hoya flowers! The set includes seven pieces in total; a couch, day bed, coffee table and side table, open and closed-version of an ottoman as well as a ceiling lamp. All pieces are mod/copy, with some copy only scripts. Available at FaMESHed, starting May 1 2013!
