New Things! Easy Sculpted Angelfish School [Type 1] and an introduction to Smart Water

I guess the gun gacha of earlier kind of got my creativity buzzing - so whilst I haven't been flickring quite as much lately, I have been making things that quite intrigue me.

Freely swimming fish for your tank or pond

Finally released Angelfish after a development period of almost 2 years??!? - er yeah... something like that. Fio scripted the engine a while ago but it's taken some time on my part to think on how best to showcase the system. So lots of firsts here just as a taster of how intelligent the fish behaviour is in smart water.

I've also re-jigged the fish as single sculpts of a group to reduce LI since Angelfish are a schooling fish.

The groups you see here is only 1LI each - so really prim frugal stuff.

Making fish is almost as easy as 1, 2, 3 

Smart water is what tells your fish where and what area in which to swim. As an introduction to the system, this kit contains the very basic version of smart water which is a cube. The later expansion packs will also contain other forms that enable your fish to perform in other ways such as shying away from other objects and walls, roaming in open linden water and things like that!

Marine Angelfish come in a rather wide variety specimens and types which makes it ideal as a form of kit fish which you can retexture in many different ways to make your aquarium full of colourful fish.

As it uses the same basic sculpt shape - this reduces lag as it only needs to load once for all your different types of Angelfish. Yay bonus!

Building Tips :
1) After rezzing your fish - you can change their sizes to create variety in your tank. They'll still swim in their different size and shapes.

2) To keep your animations smooth, rez the animating aid included in your kit within rendering distance (20m or so) of your fish. This will help preload the fish to cache.

Fashion Assassination : The Mythos

I finally got around to doing that beauty shot that I had wanted to do but hadn't had the time for in making the Fashion Assassination things. A little story telling time...

Sneak Preview! : Fashion Assassination Gacha

Hello again!

So back in my sekret underwater batfish cave - I've been making items for an upcoming gacha fair!

Fashion Assassination Gacha Key

I had great fun making these as I created little stories in my head about each and every gun. Over the course of the next couple of weeks I'll try to take better close ups of these items and make some better beauty shots explaining these stories (just don't hold your breath as my RL at the moment is totally kicking my azz - but hey it's the thought that counts!)

The collection is for an upcoming Gacha event called "LIKE blah Gotta Gatcha" and runs from 25 April till 11 May. However, if you can't wait for that then this machine is already available in my shop with a caveat - The shop machine is much stricter in terms of chance than I've set the machine at the event. (These settings will be more relaxed after the event so you can still play for the prizes if you miss the dates)

Each Mesh Gun is packed with its own pose hud (1 of 5 different types) featuring the poses from this collection.

Your guide to the various pose huds which come with each mesh gun.

All the artwork that adorns these guns are my own unique textures created specially for this collection. The poses that accompany these prizes are also original creations inspired by my love for films like "Wanted", "Shoot 'em up" and "Dogma".

On Rares & Ultra Rares.
One of the great features of the Casper Vend system is that it uses a system of tickets to calculate 'chance' and as this process is transparent you can look up a machine to view these settings.

With the exception of a few(8) copies of the ULTRA RARE that have gone to bloggers & friends for review, this prize is quite exceptional and exclusive. There are only 50 copies for the gacha (Ever!) and once it is gone its gone. I've done it this way in keeping with my own sense of artistic integrity.

The ULTRA RARE is inspired by the graphic novel 'Preacher - Saint of Killers'

The RARES are inspired by the stories of two angels that are guardians of hell from Neil Gaiman's Sandman series.
