Quick update on RFL Exclusive item

Hi Folks!

This update is sort of sparse, but mostly because I wanted to get the news out about this one release while I work out a larger release aimed at mid April.

This week, I’ve released this special edition of pink tulips offered exclusively for the Relay For Life campaign.

rfl-tulips-vendor

Much like the previous flower releases, this set of flowers comes with 4 sculptie shapes to best fit your landscape shape. These are made of oblong sculpties, so you will need SL 1.21 or better to view them properly. They are also mod/copy/no transfer.

Though other colours will eventually be available, this particular pink will ONLY be available during the Relay for Life campaign, after which it will be shelved completely.

Chances are you or someone you know has been affected by cancer in some way. Even if not, the Relay for Life is a worthy cause to donate to.

The minimum donation on this item is $200L – which amounts to about $0.75 USD – though of course you’re very welcome to donate more if you wish. Alternatively, if pink flowers aren’t your thing, there’s also a donation kiosk right next to the RFL vendor.

I’ll be adding more RFL items in the near future, and I’ll continue to update you about them as they are made available.

These vendors and kiosks are available at both the main store in Sylvan and Organica East.

I hope you will join me in showing your support for fighting cancer!

Boot and Jewellry Release

Greetings everyone!

Kitheres is pleased to present the following two releases for your interest:

backlaced-promo-b

Leather Backlaced Boots
These boots come with scripted texture change and resize, and include 6 colours in total.

sakura-vendor-sml

Sakura Blossom Circlet and Choker
To help celebrate the new spring season, consider adorning yourself with a cherry blossom circlet or choker!

Come on over and have a look!

New releases

True to my previous post, I’m pleased to announce that I’m releasing four new items this week.

ficus2-vendor

The second edition of Ficus trees are now available, using 6 oblong prims each, for your prim economy. These lush tropical trees are perfect for filling out a jungle or perhaps adding a vine motif to your backyard.

cattail-vendor

Cattails, available in 3 densities, great for swampy or other waterside areas are now available. They also come with some supplemental sedge grass in two shades, appropriate for summer and autumn.

cherry3-vendor

A lighter prim edition of cherry tree is now available, now with and without falling petals! (Previous editions did not have particle generators) For falling petals, simply rez the ‘with particles’ edition. You can click it to turn them on/off. To conserve client and server resources, however, it is recommended that you use the particle emitting trees sparingly.

bamboo-vendor

Lastly, I’ve released some bamboo, also featuring oblong sculpts in their design. These are great additions to an eastern-themed garden either to help fill out an empty space or to provide a unique backdrop.

Recent visitors to the main store will also note that I have added some space for new trees. Hopefully this will last us for some time, however i might well add an additional level for new product (or simply retire and entirely remove old discount product). I will also likely try to fix up Organica East as best I can, as things have been getting rather crowded there of late.

That’s about it!

Thanks to all of you for your ongoing support and feedback 🙂

Playing catchup on releases since December

I’ve been a bad blogger and not kept this update blog as up to date as i’d prefer.

December and January were both busy months. On top of the flower and spruce tree releases, there was the Openspace/Homestead debacle, which really put me in the situation where I was really getting tired of being asked to pay more for a smaller resource. That’s what the Homestead issue was about, after all. Punishing everyone for the sins of a few, driving up costs and restricting usable assets. The whole problem was really poorly handled and were it not for a friend who himself was removing his presence from SL, I would not have gone ahead with the huge jump and invested in his last remaining full region.

A Winter party was held mid December, and about a week to week and a half afterward, Sylvan was torn down in prep for the move to the new sim, which was renamed to Sylvan and transferred to my possession at the beginning of January.

Since then, it’s been a slow rebuild. I decided to redesign Sylvan entirely – Organica now rests about 900m in the air, I’ve added a build for Kitheres, which is home to my skin and avatar products, and everything at ground level is non-commercial. There will be a small live music venue that might see use if i have the time. There’s also a quiet sandbox in the southwest quadrant for folk to make use of if they wish. The rest of the sim has been seeing lots of terraforming and landscaping, and is basically my testing ground for new product.

With that said, here are the releases that have been put out since my last update:

swampcypress-vendor

Bald Cypress trees are now available in three sizes – two megaprim sizes and one normal. Each tree is 3 prims and uses ratioed/oblong sculpts. To view, you will need Second Life viewer 1.21 or better.

japanesemaple1-vendor

Japanese Maples are also now available, in two deep shades, perfect for your garden. Each tree is 3 prims and uses ratioed/oblong sculpts. To view, you will need Second Life viewer 1.21 or better.

Please do pop over and have a look!

The new Organica can be found here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Sylvan/188/85/914

More products are on their way, probably within the week. Sit tight and keep an eye on this blog, or join the subscribomatic for inworld updates, located just next to the Organica sign at the main store.

Kitheres @ Sylvan Grand Opening & Skin Release!

Kitheres is pleased to announce it has moved from its intermediate location to a more permanent home in Sylvan.

Selected older items will be on sale, and a variety of freebies will be on hand.

We look forward to seeing you there!!

Updates and thoughts on opening

It’s been a while since I last updated!

Things are coming along decently – if you’ve been following the Flickr feed, you’ll likely have seen updates along the lines of makeups, finalised skin tones, and some promo shots. The train is finally moving, but there are many things to do before I can really say these are ready for release. Continue reading Updates and thoughts on opening

Skin Tone Progress

A bit of skin tone comparison underway. I’m probably going to send out test skins some time soon either today or tomorrow, and am hoping to remain sensitive to ethnic colouring. Having some concerns with screen to screen colour calibration, but there’s really not that much one can do to control the end user’s experience 🙁

In any case, hoping to push through this as soon as I can so I can get to some of the makeup options.

Inaugural post

Welcome to the first post at Kitheres Industries’ blog!

There isn’t much here yet, and I’m working on adding a customized template fairly soon to coincide with some new content I’ve been working on, but i figured I’d kick off my postings to this blog while I felt like posting (and also since it’s pretty late and I don’t really want to start filling my head with CSS and HTML 😛 )

In any case, those who are familiar with Kitheres will know that it’s mostly been my scifi/fantasy based hobby/business, which has mostly taken a backburner to my tree business, Organica.

I’ve always wanted to try my hand at developing Kitheres further though, because I have always been interested in avatar customization, coming from an illustrative and character design background. So within the next couple of months, along with a bunch of other personal and location changes, I’ll be posting a bit about various things I’m working on as well as products that I am releasing.

Elyion Alecto modelling a work-in-progress skin for Kitheres

For one thing, I’m pleased to announce that I am working on a new set of skins for general and genre use. I’ve sent around several editions for testing, and will probably begin working out skin tones based on their finalized bases within the next couple of days. After that, probably some basic makeup options, finalizing a building for my store, and then prep for some major changes to my overall presence in SL. Basically, I will be upgrading Sylvan to a full region, so my first point of order is to move over all my Organica stuff, set up Kitheres in the sim as well, then completely re-landscape the sim to take advantage of added primmage, etc.

And then hopefully work stuff will catch up with me ;P

Sooo yeah. Busy busy next little while. Pretty optimistic though, as long as I keep the pace up, i guess!

Anyhow, I wanted to publicly thank the folks (Leilany Lafollette, Vivianne Draper, Zorena Deckard, Zuleika Deere, Kira Zobel, Vertigo Paris, Dahlia Eilde, Arilynn Karu, Charlemagne Allen and Ash Garden) who have been a great help with testing thus far. There’s a bit of testing left yet, but i really, really appreciate the help you’ve all provided thus far!

October update – New birches and Sleepy Hollow inspired tree

Hi all!

I’ve been away a bit this month and pretty busy with work, so I have a short update this month.

Before I get to the new releases, I’d like to announce that Niccia Straaf has won the draw for a $1500L value voucher at Organica for submitting an answer to the survey posted last month via the Subscribomatic. Congratulations, and thanks to everyone who sent in their replies!

Two new tree products have been released –

The Hollow Tree

Birch #2

These new birches feature all new textures and sculpts, once again in spring/summer, fall, and winter styles. They are clusters of four trees each and available mod/copy/no transfer and mod/no copy/transfer.
