Maison Noir Blanc: Messing with Mesh & Materials
Bloggers' Corner
Thank you, ladies 
It's a very small build, especially when you compare it to the grand chateaux that we are use to seeing here, but nonetheless it's rather a daunting tasksince Iwant to convert almost everything to a mesh model.
I hate reading instructions but I'm having a great time learning as I go with this project. Now if only my poor avi will forgive me for crashing her repeatedly into the wall to check to see if it's solid 
Maison Noir Blanc: Messing with Mesh & Materials
Bloggers' Corner
In Second Life, as in real life, I tend to be a "jack of all trades and master of none". I love to dabble in the different skills necessary to create but I'm very impatient with the learning curve. I'm reallyexcited about the introduction of Mesh and now Materials to Second Life but I find it hard to make a concentrated effort to get up to speed on these 3D building techniques.
All this to say that I need a lot ofinspiration to propel me into uncharted territory.
The Neoclassic Row House pictured above right, was just what I was looking for; small & stylish, classic & contained. It's a build that easily lends itself to mesh modelling, or so my untutoredself surmises.And so project Maison Noir Blanc was launched.

I've found that It's actually much easier to tackle than mesh
It's out in the latest version of the LL viewer now.

Thanks for starting this discussion, Trasgo. The addition of Materials is indeed an exciting milestone in Second Life!
For those of you not yet familiar with this new functionality, Materials Support and Tips is a good place to start.
I've been playing with it for a while now and my observation is that the results are pleasantly subtle as well as dynamic. It makesthings "come alive" depending on changes in light making the whole scene more realistic.
I have been playing with building materials andI now have floors with just the right amount of gloss (not the horrid "shininess" that we were previously limited to), damask wallpaper where the patterns appear & disappear in the lighting, glinting metal on furniture etc.
I can just imagine its use with fabrics, as Trasgo has shown.
I'm working on a new house that takes advantage of both mesh & materials & so I'll post some pictures when I get a moment.
I would love to see & hear about others experiences!

I'm guessing that perhaps language translation is a bit of a problem as you have posted another listing in Marketplace.
Since this one was posted on July 4th, the next one you can post will be on July 11th. I have deleted the other posting from today (July 8th).

Thanks MarieLouise!
One of the best things about mesh is that this is now only LI=1 (without the scripts) when before it was LI=4. That means 4x's the roses )

French Chateau & Pink Roses
It's no secret that I absolutely adore roses;throw in a French Chateau, make the roses varying shades of pinkand I'm in heaven!
I've alwayswanted to create a complete rose garden for the Petit Trianon but justhaven't gotten around to it yet.Seems that with my Second Life, aswith my real life, there are justtoo many enticing projects and just not enough time!
This probably explains why I'vebeen sneaking roses intomy Kitchen Garden collection every chance I get. I guess that I haven't really been too subtle about it since there are Cabbages & Roses and Lavender & Roses and I've actually held myself back from doing Asparagus & Roses
Now, in a furtherattempt to satisfy my virtual-rose cravings,I've revamped my popular Potted Rose Topiary into a great new set.
Tatiana Stops to Smell the Roses
This updated topiary is now a mesh modelwith a Land Impact(LI)of only one!
The set hasfive different colours; purple, red, pink, yellow and peach; all of them copyable. As an added bonus, it alsoincludesa copyablerose topiary (LI=2) that allows for colour selection.Perfectfor those of us who like to place a plant and then easily change the colour on a whim.
To keep things consistent, I've used the same classic potsas I did for the Lemon & Orange Topiaries . These striking containersare made of clay and decorated with thefleur de lis. Of course, the very best virtual soil guarantees that the roses will bloom continually throughout the year.
You can drop by to smell the rosesinworld at The Queen's House . You can also see the TTR-Kitchen Garden-Potted Rose Topiary Set page on the Second Life Marketplace as well asthe complete Kitchen Garden collection.
Happy Gardening!
