MacroScopic Plague- this piece is very aware of your presence and will reach out to you if you stray too close ...

Downsized

Lots has changed in the past year.
I no longer have any large inworld exhibits.
I've changed jobs and towns.
Inworld presence will pretty much be a quiet little shop at my home.

Artwork will continue.

Official derez date-January 25th

Zero Point will officially derezz and go bye on January 25th. I will leave the structures standing until the 24th at which time I will pick them up to at least save the originals as well as the backup copies I have made. All my new art work will be built for the time being at Aquitaine, hosted by Excaliber Studios.

Zero Point -old location officially closes

This Saturday January 9, 2010 marked the official close of Zero Point in it's location at Kelham.Great music was played jokes were told and folks had a good time for about 5 hours.All in all it was a fine send off.I will leave the builds there until the land is put up for auction and cleared out which is currently an unknown time/date.
So any persons wishing a last look around may do so until that time. Negotiations are currently in the works for a new sim/site to resurrect Zero Point in 3.0 form. My current work until this occurs can be found at the Excaliber Studios land in Aquitaine sim.

Zero Point ends soon it seems

Due to current financial burdens, my sponsor of the land at Zero Point in Kelham sim will no longer be able to continue any longer and will sell the land by the end of January. I have been offered to buy the land and try and go on myself but I am in no position to cover 125us tier, plus the land, plus Premium account status. So barring divine intervention the next 2-3 weeks mark the final chapter of the Zero Point installation. It's been a grand and long rides folks, thanks for stopping by, may we meet again in some other metaverse.

Light at the end of the tunnel...

At long last, I have found gainful employment. The years after my accident in 2006 have been pretty bleak for job hunting so this is a huge step forward.
I will be teaching English as a second language full time in Second Life.
Sadly this means most of my energies will be focused towards this , but ill still continue with the planned new Zero Point exhibits as time allows.

Final version of my Horse figure sculpted for Second Life using Blender.
This is the end result of many hours of digital sculpting and is a spinoff of a private commission for Horse Valley.

Hippocampus creations-Blender bearing Fruit at Last

Heyos, at long last my learning curve for Blender has begun to level out to a less than vertical curve. With the help of fellow Blender enthusiasts in Second Life I have finally gained enough mastery over the programs tool to bring the first of many constructs from the modeling window inworld to Secondlife.
I took a cue from my love of classical themes and modeled a hippocampus as both a standalone figure and as part of a fountain at Zero Points temple grounds.
The possibilities opened by this powerful tool have me tremendously excited.

SL6B-Here I come folks ;)

Looks like my plot has arrived and I will have a nice amount of prims to play with this year.I foresee having to step outside of my comfort zone this year as the builds already in place are very shiny and glowy. Something outside of my current style is called for , IF I can step outside myself;) cheers and see ya'll there when things get underway.No pics at the present time, sorry^^

Current Affairs

Wonder of wonders, a build I was a major participant on the design/build team won the Linden Prize^^ Virtual Ability Island
So now I can say without lying I am an award winning designer/builder :D
At Zero Point a few things have changed. Dev I now sports a mystical exhibit in place of Broken Vista.I expanded my line of animated butterflies to 13 type with dragonflies coming soon. Recently it was my observation that in the furry avatar community noone was making fluffy tails for species such as skunks. So i filled that gap and have added a fluffy skunk tail and ears to my store.
Being a designer in Second Life has grown increasingly difficult as far as obtaining commission work.So to those reading, if you know of projects in need of a good designer/builder, by all means please let me know either here or inworld. Word of mouth still seems the most powerful means to find work there and I can only cast my line so far by myself. Thanks
Sabine

Current Affairs

The reconstruction of Zero Point is coming along well. Two new zones have been established high in the sky thanks to the new build height limit of 4096m.
These zones currently known as DevI and Hellish were conceived to be somewhat contrasting in feel and appearance to one another. DevI is a visit to an ethereal
plane of existence where every surface pulses and flows with light.Hellish is a area of raging fires and dark structures. Both areas are somewhat of a test bed and will be evolving over time.
Some elements of the old Zero point have been reconstructed and worked into the fabric of the new. Hellish houses the Thunder Throne which was one of the surviving artifacts.
The original first floor was the only one with enough older backups to reconstruct as it was. I have gone ahead and installed that rebuild for the benefit of visitors wishing to see the old work. Other artifacts from the old Zero Point will eventually find their way into my store in rezzer boxes, most notably the Power Station, Jaguar Maw dungeon, and the first floor itself, which is already for sale.

more to come...
