All in one 2.0 released


Hi All,

We released this new version a few weeks ago, I had to find some time to put it on our blog. Our first version of the all in one was already a huge succes. But we still saw a few points where we could add extra features.

We received some customer wishes and feedback, which we more then happily added into a brand new update to our all in one scripts.

The all in one scripts allows your customers to modify and change your creations in a million ways without you ever needing to hand them out with modify pemissions.

Features in 2.0 are:

* Resize (as in resize 2.4 pro script. Allowing to change the size of the object as a whole as well as resize, rotate and move each prim seperatly. A pose button is included to freeze the avatar in appearance position for easier editing.

* Recolour. This allows your customer to change the colour of certain prims in your object. Think of hair bands, jewelry, shoe colours. Anything is possible.
This script was revised in the 2.0 release, the maximum amount of possible colours went up from 64 to over 100.

* Retexture. This allows your customers to change the textures of sets of prims. Yes thast right you can give your customers the option to change the appearance of multiple different groups of prims. For example, the metal textures of chains and the gem types in necklaces.

* Bling. This alows you to add bling to certain prims. Your customers will have the option to change the colours into predefined colours you have set. Also they are able to change the bling size and speed.

* A skirt sitter/walker. Ideal for the skirt and dress makers. Basicly an ao for the skirt.

NEW IN 2.0!

* Glow! We added the option to give your customers control over the glow level of certain prims. Allowing them to add a little more realism to for example jewelry.

* A script interface!! This is ideal if you can script a little yourself. This allows YOU! to add your own scripts into the all in one menu. A descriptive manual is added explaining how to create a script that is fully compatible with the all in one menu. And automaticly adding a new button from where your customers can trigger your own scripts.

* A full set of scripts to aid you with installing the all in one. (content cleaning script, a script to set all child prims to the same name as the root, a colour retreival script to help you create teh config notecard for the bling and recolour scripts.

All these options are in a copy trans set of scripts. That will be licensed to you + an optional alt, partner or business partner. So you can share this script with them and don't need to buy it twice.

We are selling it for 3000L$. ALL FEATURES ARE INCLUDED IN THIS PRICE. NO EXTRA HIDDEN COSTS!!!

Keep in mind if you already bought version 1.0 the upgrade is free of charge, please contact me. And we will provide you with the updated and new scripts.

P.S. The development of 2.5 is already in progress. Even more features will be added in that release. All new updates will be free of charge for existing users.

Feel free to contact me (Wietse Cassini) or my wife (Gwendolyn Cassini) to buy your own copy of the ALL IN ONE 2.0!

My Windlight Settings

I finally caved in: I actually installed a Windlight viewer on my laptop, since the 1.20 doesnt crash my videocard. Yay!

But I didnt like what windlight did to my prims. It made them look harsh, all weird shadings and colours. Not alone what it did to my face.
So I played around with the slides and I've come up with the perfect settings for Windlight, so that you dont need a facelight, and the prims always look nice and smooth. And I want to share my windlight settings with you.

So here we go step by step:
1. Go to edit -> preferences -> graphics -> enable custom -> disable Atmospheric shaders
2. Go to World -> enviroment settings -> enviroment editor -> advanced sky
3. Set your sky presets to Default

in atmosphere tab:
4. Set all Blue horizon and blue density sliders to 0.
5. Set haze horizon to 0.14, densitymultiplier to 0.46, max altitude 564.

in lightning tab:
6. Set all Sun/moon colour sliders to 1
7. Set sun position to 0.014
8. sun glow sliders to 0, scene gamma to 10

clouds tab:
9. set cloud colour sliders to 0.23

The result would look something like this:


Cool huh and no facelight needed.

Love, Gwendolyn Cassini

By the way we are still looking for new content creators to have their shop in our sim for a month for FREE!!! This month we didnt recieve valid entries, so we want to stretch it a little.

Ever tried to improve your search listing in the new SL search tab?
Scripts 'r Us has created a new set of scripts to help you improve your search listing drasticly.
The amount of avatars that have YOUR store in their picks counts towards the rating for the new SL search,
so why not reward customers that want to help you by putting your store in their profile picks.

We have created a system that allows you to do just this. A customer can touch a sign, and if they have your store in their profile,
they will receive a free gift.
This will significantly increase your rating in the new SL search as more and more people add your store into their profiles.

The system is networked. So you can create many signs around SL over all your stores. And still manage and change the gift from a single server.
The server keeps track of the last 250 people that received a gift. And sends you a report every day of who got a gift.
We have added a group only option for if you also want the gift receiver to be in your group.

An update script is provided with which you can always retreive the latest version from our servers. All new upgrades and updates will be free of charge for existing users.

So come and get this new gadget and boost your traffic by improving your search rating.

The pick reward system is available for only 750 L$ (copy permissions) at our main store http://slurl.com/secondlife/Gwendolyn/155/129/21.



Love, Gwendolyn and Wietse Cassini

Our baby is turning two!

Nothing about SL only about my RL baby <3 He is turning 2 today. Its 2:17 am here on the 25th of July. Wietse and I just spend about 4/5 hours in the kitchen making the cake.
The cake got a banana/whippedcream filling and butter cream. And the decorations are made with marzipan. Its not as tight as i wanted to be, but for my first semi-professional birthday cake its not that bad right?

I just wanted to show you our RL creation:

Little update from us

RL has been a pain since the end of April when we started remodeling out home. We had a couple of weeks without toilet, running water, and we cant shower ever since.
Although the big remodeling stuff is done, we are still waiting for someone to finish up our new bath. And then we need to finish up our kitchen ourselves too and some other stuff. *sighs* Make room so our kids can finally play again in our home.

So thats why its been pretty hard for me to release stuff for our store etc.
I just cant get to it. I hope itll be better soon.

But I do have some great news though.
We are participating in the 3rd edition of the hair fair. And I actually got inspired to make a hairstyle today. And it will be released at the fair.

Besides this hair style I found some boots ive been working on when we had our store in Bluenose more than a year ago. I thought it got lost when we moved.
I'm absolutely in love with the boots, so I made them our new Lucky Chair gift.
Like the Jill booties I released last year, these Thumper boots are scripted with poofers on walk, teleport and flight, and you can leave footprints on walk and use a sexy walk. Ofcourse you can turn each option off if you dont want to use it ;)
The scripts are ofcourse made by Wietse Cassini of Scripts 'r Us.

So if you want it head over to my store on Gwendolyn isle and try out your luck on my Lucky Chair.

And the Free shop goes to

Seshat Studio's.

Seshat Czeret is born on april 19th 2008 and she makes medieval styled clothes and got some nice animations too: mostly curteys.
I chose her because she reminded me a lot about me when I was young in Second Life.

She will have her free store on my sim Gwendolyn till the end of this month. Come and see for yourself.


If you want to have that free shop for next month, check an earlier post on my blog for more information.

Love Gwendolyn Cassini
