Salacity History Part 8...

That new store setup and location served Salacity well for over a year, and we slowly grew and added on to our little Misfits shopping district. Eventually we got the parcel next to ours as well, and expanded to include stores for another couple of friends.

The only problem was that those who occupied the neighboring sims were not always good neighbors. One operated a club that was consistently annoying customers in our shops with group invitations and spam about their DJs. Another raised breedables and they consumed a ton of resources, often creating lag. Something was going to have to change, and soon. (And it did—details in a future post!)

Meanwhile, though, Salacity's inventory continued to grow, and little by little I received invitations to more and better events. But the next major change was that, through events, Salacity got exposure to the vast community of SL bloggers—some of whom contacted me about blogging for Salacity directly!

I'd heard about how blogging could be a boost for promotion in SL, and had even dipped my toe into those unknown waters through events and an in-world group focused on connecting designers and bloggers. But this was the first time I'd had bloggers who actually wanted to blog MY stuff directly. I started small, with an in-world group for distribution and a very loosely organized approach. Soon, though, this expanded into something much bigger. (More on that in a future post as well.)

Myths vs. Truths: "Original" Mesh

Aha, so you sell "original mesh" creations? What, exactly, does that mean—"original mesh"? (This one is going to be a little longer than usual. Please bear with me!) I'm not sure I've ever encountered such an undefined mess as the so-called original mesh phenomenon in Second Life. It's something that means the world to some and nothing at all to many others.  On the face of it, it seems (at least to me) to be a pretty straightforward concept: if you claim that something is "original mesh" then you mean that you created it from scratch. You may have followed a tutorial to make some or all of it, and/or you may have based your idea on something else that you saw somewhere else. But when it came to making the mesh for the object you've made—be it clothing, furniture, decor, a fashion accessory, or even a whole avatar—you did the hard work of modeling the object using 3D software like Blender or Maya.  Some designers have a much broader definit...

Recommended sources for textures

Just as with mesh and animations, it can sometimes be overwhelming to try to find good textures for use in your creations in SL. There are a LOT of sources in-world, and sometimes you can find great textures for a bargain. On the other hand, some of these will look great on display but not work out well when tiled or used on UVs.  Finding good textures for manual texturing approaches can be very difficult at times. Some of the sources in-world and on the Marketplace are better than others. Ditto with websites and off-world sources. Below is my list of recommended sources for textures, both in-world and across the interwebs, for those who work directly with AO maps and aren't using a tool like Substance Painter. Naturally, this is not an exhaustive list of every texture source; these are the ones I've used and can recommend personally.

Setting up shop

Salacity History Part 4... Many friends urged me to set up an in-world store. "You NEED a store," they said, "So that people can demo your furniture and see whether they want to buy it." This made a lot of sense—but also looked like it would cost me a lot of money. Fortunately, I had a secret weapon that very few in SL have the benefit of: a benefactor who, in support of me and my creative efforts, offered to underwrite the cost of rent for my store. Scotty was the first (but, gratefully, not the last) person to see potential in what I was trying to do and make. A friend of mine had recently featured a quaint, lovely shopping district on her blog, and on her recommendation I inquired about their rates. We made arrangements and Greg fronted me the rent—an investment he would go on to make for more than a year, which frankly made possible what otherwise would have been out of reach, cost-wise. Here's a picture of Scotty and me in front of that first store!
