I took the plunge and tried out Blender, despite the many warnings I've received regarding how complicated the program is to use. It WAS pretty involved to make just one glass shape, and the resulting sculptured prim didn't come out perfect (the edges are slightly wobbly). But for a first attempt at Blender, I'm just thrilled that it didn't come out with huge holes or gaps in it, and it's very much recognizable! LOL A large "gold trophy" version of this first Blender sculptie is available for free in the lounge area of the SPIRIT shop. Feel free to take as many copies as you like, change their size, even change their texture to glass, pewter, gemstones, marble, or anything else you can think of! (I'm trying to find a place in the shop where I could get away with a large marble birdbath style fountain using this sculptie as the catch basin part of the fountain...lol). Hmm, can anyone say strawberry daquiries at the SPIRIT lounge? ;)
I have also used Rokuro, a lathe style sculptured prim maker, to create knitted, scrunched up leg warmers. Rokuro is much simpler to use; unfortunately, it only creates items that are rounded and symmetrical on both sides (think carved banister railings that hold up handrails on stairs, and you'll get the idea of what a lathed item is and what Rokuro can make). The leg warmers turned out GREAT, though, so look for them to become available as part of the ballet class outfits in 16 different color coordinating colors to match the new SPIRIT Ballet Pointe Slippers that are available now!
