Our shop started it's Second Life!!!!!

So here it is our new shop!!!! We dusted the houses, cleaned the ship and vacuumed the beach. It took us almost the whole weekend to set the whole lot of it. Well of course we needed some working platforms too and we needed to get up the workingbox aswell.
But it's all set and done now. up and running. what more metafores can I use.......... come and have a peek soon.

Oh and I just kept outof the view the giant kangeroo that is on our neighboursclub :)) I think they are Aussies but I ain't sure. Did I mention again that http://azureislands.com/ did a wonderfull job to help us out so quickly?? we are very thankfull to them.

Well last but not least I will hand ya the slurl (the tiny customised one yes!!!) so grab it and come and have a look :) #######tiny surl inside##########

Machinima, a new place to discover

I suddenly realised I have never even tried to make a movie in SL. It seems to be possible so I had to find out a lot. Of course there is the abfab Torley Linden with the most fantastic tutorials I have ever seen in SL. But heck that's why he gets payed for it I guess :) So after a day of swearing and shouting (that's quite normal when I start something new I don't have the patience to learn) I came up with something. So here it is!!! The first InSync machinima. It's a promo for our TinCan.

Enjoy it!!!!!!

Halloween is peeking .......................

Take bat to our inworld shop ................................

-InSync- TinCan

We finally were able to finish our own project. Because we have been busy so much working fro TLE Educational Network our building was getting less attention. And although we like to build for TLE we also like to make our own things. Frederic and I have a kindof strange way to start with new projects. We start to look around the web at RL pictures. At RL buildings that inspire us. We are sending urls over to each other and slowly it starts to grow in our heads. The -InSync- TinCan is an inspiration on a building but rather more on a tincan that is rolling on it's side. The textures make that imagination even more complete. Next to that we have been able to use animated textures aswell. They are so much fun to make. The -InSync- TinCan is a 5 floor building. The hallway has a nice dark and welcoming feeling. Next floor has a small mezanine. The third floor is dominated by the two big turning gears on both sides of the windows. They are animated and give the room something majestic. The 4th floor is almost as big as the 3rd and leads up to the roofroom. this one has two big sliding, stained glass doors/windows wich can be opened by a mouseclick. It can be your terras under the shining stars. The TinCan has all handmade textures and scripts. Due to our smart way of using textures and building skills the primusage is very low.

This is our place inworld where you even are able to rez our TinCan and all the other projects we builded sofar...........................

And we are also available on XStreet .........................

-InSync- The Steamplant Factory

Another project has come to an end. The factory is ready to be sold and we boxed the whole lot of it. It is a grungy factory. Kids threw in all the windows. There are fires all over to keep the place a bit warmed. The animated textures with gears and clocks make it look even more real. There is plenty space to have your rawking party’s. The Loft can be your special place to be with your loved one. Windows can be closed or half-closed. Next to that the both big roofs can be multifunctional to. Make it your terras-garden, danceplace or your breakfast-outside spot. Doors are squeeking and for those who are bad with stairs there is an elevator with animations. The Steamplant Factory has been build with our own sculpties and textures. Except for the stairs everything is homemade and custombaked.

-InSync- Worship an extraordinairy club

Katelynn Dastardly has one of the sweetest and greatest clubs in SL. So when she asked us to build it we were right up to all of it. Fred has done a great job and he even started to learn things about texturing wich makes the whole project look absolutely fabulous.!!!!!!

This southern-style church is now a great place to hang out. For the looks, the people, the music and defenitly because off Katie!!!!

-InSync- Animated Textures

When we were exploring Second Life once we found something we never saw before. Well We probably did see it before but we didn't ever thought of what it was or how it was made. But when you are creating things in SL you get a weird eye for things. What we basically saw was a animated texture. It was on on side of a prim and it moved. After some googling we basically found out that this was a scripted texture................

As of the fact that I have made banners in RL before I know how to make an animated gif wich is the actual base for this gadget. Since we are building a factory at the moment we decided that these animations would be a perfect match .........

-InSync- Party RiverBoat syncronicity III

While they were trying to build up their sim to get it ready for the Grand Opening suddenly they came up with a new idea. If we would be able to make a Missisippi Steamboat ........................ Well certain things you shouldn't ask Fred. And one of the things is: Could you make ...............? He was right on the project. He digged up some photo's of his own. Went on the web and before I even could blink half of the boat was already builded. All he could add was: I need good textures!!!! Sometimes you cannot stop him, not even me. So he dragged me to photoshop to bake all the textures and we did it again.

Da Vinci Isle is so generous not to make it a one piece. So we will be able to resell it and you will be able to make it yours too. 

Come and see the Party RiverBoat inworld and follow this ................................

It will be sold at XStreet and if you  want to check out the Idylls and the beautifull Da Vinci Isle that will be possible too just follow the link .................................

-InSync- BagEndLike

Our way of building is kindof weird.  I came along when he was building the Haunted House. so when it was finished we needed something new to work on. I wanted to give an idea and I searched the web and came up with the SteamPunk TreeHouse. when we got that boxed and out on Xstreet it was Frederic's turn for an idea again. We both like the book and movies with 'The Lord of The Rings' saga's. and after some idea's Frederic had his inspiration with the Bag End houses that are at Hobbiton, the place were both Frodo and Bilbo Baggins live. Of course we just took the idea and turned into our own fantasy. And as we were building and texturising the flood of idea's started and we were barely be able to stop it. The house is build around a big main tree. It's roots are part of the big living area. Sun is shining through the sweet wooden windows and brighten up the floor in it's lovely pattern. This house gives you the feeling like that you are part of mother nature. You are surrounded by rocks and plants. The big terrace at the upperfloor is imbedded and enclosed and makes you feel secure. The box comes with the main rock-green-texture so you can add some of it to the house surroundings. It is easy rezzable with the Faux-Rez. As you probably are reading this we are already making our next project wich will be fun again .................................................

-InSync-: SteamPunk TreeHouse

What can I say ...... this is the most amazing project we ever did. I once lived in a treehouse in SL and I always enjoyed that. It just reminds you of your childhood. I know that sounds so heavy but to me SL isn't more then playing barbies or actionman. We had some rough idea's when we started. In the beginning it was a simple platform, some roots and a tree. But it became a wonderfull trip. We aked the best of the both of us. Fred is always thinking out of the box and the handmade textures completed this. It is so much fun to walk around in this Treehouse. The changing pathways. The movable bridges. The amazing sounds and not to forget the hidden rooms wich you enter by the openable 'notso secret' hedges ......... This house is never dull. Rooms can be fully private. Playing tag is just too much fun here ...................And if you are in a very romantic mood: you can dance under the moonlight at the top platform.

-InSync- Haunted House

The Haunted House was already halfway build when Fred showed it to me the first time. It was also the kick-start of  working together. At first he was building and I was looking cute. Well at least I could try ...................... but I got quickly bored with that. It's awfull to virtually 'stand' next to somebody who doesn't speak unless you calll mumbling numbers speaking and who's keyboard is rattling like an angry rattlesnake. Then he said that he needed a texture for the inside and  I offered my help. It worked out great. Fred was building, thinking outloud about what he would like and I tried to visualise his thoughts. That is how we still work together.

The Haunted House was a very special project because we had to change a lot of the textures everytime. And eventhough we didn't know eachother very well we had a deadline to finish it. It made us see that we could work together. Even under stress.........

InSync SteamPunk BunkerHouse

Fred was already building long before I knew him. Of course his textures wheren't that faboulous as they are now (just kidding ...........) Obviously his love for SteamPunk was already there. The first time he took me to his home I didn't even know what SteamPunk was............... so I had to google that first. And of course i didn't tell him otherwise he would think I was/am utterly stupid.

Thankfully Wiki knows something about it .................................. 

Steampunk is a subgenre of fantasy and speculative fiction that came into prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. The term denotes works set in an era or world where steam power is still widely used—usually the 19th century, and often set in Victorian era England—but with prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy, such as fictional technological inventions like those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, or real technological developments like the computer occurring at an earlier date.

The SteamPunk BunkerHouse has nice views. Great for party's, fantastic to watch the sunset/sunrise on the top deck ...........

We have lived in it with fun untill we finished the SteamPunk Treehouse.
