M&M sculpt tutorial 3

This tutorial is a big step forwards and still easy to follow for all who would like to create advanced textures with
shade for the more complex sculpted prims in-world.
It is based on Fashion-Sculpties, but all knowledge can be used for all sculpted prims and even for regular prims.
Much more tools of the Grapic Program are used and to use your textures in-world you need some building skills and experience!!

Letter from our top sponsor

Dear Fellow-residents and SL-Newspaper readers,

Astonished by the news of the situation of BNT Holdings, we would like to give a comment as TOP-Sponsor of SL Newspaper.
The consequences of the world-wide crisis has affected us as well. We haven't been able to work and be there for all our costumers for almost a year, have moved in RL and struggled with our position in SecondLife hard as so many have.

Due to technical issues we were not able to maintain our island and create new sculpties or sculpted items. Still SL-newspaper has always supported us, never let us down, even during the times we were not able to pay the usual rate. To meet and talk it over in all sincerity was scary but the best thing we could do. The understanding of Miss Vanmoer and her flexibilty helped us to survive.

We wish all sponsors would have done so, instead of taking sims offline without notice or meeting in advance.
With this comment we try to express the happiness we feel to be still 'alive and kicking'  and top-sponsor of SL-Newspaper and with huge gratitude for Dana Vanmoer and her contributors!

M & M creations

M&M and Trees are a fine combination, in real-life working and living as much as possible in nature in which we find .. trees.
"As soon as we entered SecondLife, we found the most wonderful Not-Possible-In-RealLife 'parks, gardens, rough nature, fantasy- & fairy and botanical reserves'." says 10 Gooson of M&M
Not long after being here, they bought some land and 10 & Marcthur Goosson decided to keep it as natural as they could.
The wish and process in creating imaginary nature took some time and is still growing. M&M Trees has developed from 10's FlowerShop.
The more sculpted shapes Marcthur creates the more inspiration 10 can find.
Next to real-lifes inspiration she mixes up the two. First pure flowers then plants followed. Not long after; flowerlights, huge complex plants, low-prim flowers Finally the trees, corsages, Bridal-Series and again trees.
M&M wanted to rez all creations and trees need space. Months of hard work followed and it has now found it's final shape.
For a shop the park is huge, it takes time to see it all. All kinds of animals, sounds and 'twinkles' can distract the visitor. The swamp is wet and coulourful here you can find all those tropical delights and such fantastic trees and so much more! Shrubs, small trees, fantasy trees, petal & leaves-furniture, huge trees or just beautifull lights and lanes of trees.
The most central point must be the circle of standing stones this is also where you will find the teleports to other areas.

M and M Creations Texture Garden

M and M Creations is a good place to buy quality textures and prims. But it’s also a good place to explore with lots to see. One corner of the sim that’s a nice place to visit is the Texture Garden. One can head to the main M and M store and grab a TP port to there, or just go to the map and type DoubleMM (40, 240, 31).

Arriving at the place, the first thing I noticed was a buzzing noise. Looking around, it turned out to be a sculpture of two bugs grasping each other, having moving mechanical parts and electrical sparks, “Whirlygigs versus Whirlygogs.” Looking around were numerous vendors for textures. I continued to find them as I walked around the place. Objects can also be clicked on to buy a copy. To the east was the garden. Walking there, I was approached by a purple hummingbird. It hovered around me, darting from one position to another, following me as I walked. Around me was a hammering sound, which made me think of woodpeckers, and sure enough I soon saw one on one of the nearby trees, near a couple hedgehogs scurrying about on a lakeshore, which was next to a walkway lined with trees and lamps with plant-shaped lights on both sides.

Several other detailed areas are nearby. To the south down a path is the swamp and it’s exotic plants and animals. To the southeast up a rocky trail are the K-10 mountain and Highlands. To the east are the Fairyland and the Beach.

The place has a variety of goods for sale, textures, sculpties and more. There are photos, drawings and paintings, trees, exotic plants, flower lamps, fences, walls, birds, small mammals, fires, graveyards, trunks, flowerstairs, and many other objects to help decorate a place for either a science-fiction themed region, a fantasy land, a nature preserve, or just about any setting.

For quicker access to cash, there is a DX ATM in the area not far to the east from the Texture Garden entry point. Textures and sculpties come either modify and copy, or with full permissions.

The Texture Garden, like all of the M and M area, is owned by Marcthur Gooson and 10 Gooson.

Great news for M&M shops

M&M shops are moving!
This means Mysteryland and Mysticland have vanished and will be rebuild in the future.
M&M Shops and M&M Trees are still intact, accessable like you're used to.
The good news is M&M Shops and M&M Trees will also move to a new island, location is unknown for now.
No extreme lag and slow downs, easy walking and rezzing of all sculpted shapes and a smooth connection between the 2 shops without sim-borders.
M&M will keep you informed and SL-Newspaper will have all updated landmarks available, you can't miss it!

Before the great move; Great plots (all 1024 m2) for sale on Montsoreau and Seyanforth
