NEW AUTUMN TREES @ HEART

Now available : Large selection of ULTRA LOW PRIM SCULPTY autumn trees. Linden/Lime trees 20m, 30m and 40m in three harmonious autumn colours. Aspen saplings and mature with three diffrent autumn colours in every box. Also ultra low prim sculpty Horse Chestnut trees, sapling and young in 6 different autumn colours.

So why did we create so many versions and so many colours of every tree ? We do it so that when you landscape with Heart botanicals you get a more natural organic look immediately. That's why we always include different stages of growth in the boxed versions of our plants, trees and flowers.

Screenshots from a little bit of landscaping we did at the New England sims. It was fun as we don't usually get to do much landscaping and the New England sims are so beautifully terraformed that is was surprisingly easy to get an immediate autumn forest effect. The palette of autumn colours made a lovely change from summer greens.

Please click the pics to see the full size versions of the Secondlife screenshots of Heart autumn trees in situ at the New England sailing sims
Ultra low prim autumn Linden/Lime trees available in packs of 12. The Packs include 3 autumn colours and 3 different tree designs

The Heart Garden Centre with Second Life Shadows

Oh my goodness !! Secondlife™ shadows ...... "What a difference a shadow makes". Shadows transform the Secondlife™ virtual world into a far more compelling and intimate experience. Shadows add body and volume to everything enabling you to READ and SEE the world with your RL eyes. There was always something wierd and unsubstantial about a world without shadows and lighting. Shadows are so much a part of our 'Real Life' looking experience .... they are essential for all 3D virtual worlds




How to turn on shadows in Secondlife™
1. Make sure you have the latest version of Secondlife ™ Client
2. Go to Advanced Menu
3. Go to Debug Settings
4. Select RenderUseFBO and set it to TRUE
5. Select RenderDeferred and set it to TRUE
Now use eyes to LOOK and see a trasformed Secondlife !
Of course shadows work best with Heart Botanicals :-))

NEW RELEASE - SUMMER MEADOW FLOWERS

Huge selection of beautiful meadow patches. Different coloured Tulips, garlic mustard, poppies, iris, loosestrife. Visit Heart 5 to see the full range available. As you can see in the pics below, we are attempting to create virtual plants and landscaping items that create a truly immersive experience, with only artwork based plants. No RL photo plants are used at Heart as we think that they break the illusion of the virtual world. You must 'protect your dream eyes'

The meadow patches are low enough prim count to be used with abandon even on Secondlife™ Homestead sims

The pic above features pink tulips, flowering buffalo grass and summer Beech trees. Click the pictures to see enlarged versions

Available in landscape packs of 12 and 24. Note : 24 patches covers a huge area so have fun creating mulit-sim size meadows.

NEW RELEASE - RAZERBACK REEFS AND CLIFFS

New at Heart Razerback Reefs and Cliffs. So many off-sim mountains and reefs available in Secondlife™ now, Dolly and I decided to try and make our off-sim products totally unique. Like no other off-sim products. We have tortured the sculpties to the extreme to create the natural and organic profiles. We hope you like them.
