So, I started working on the skybox again, and I have to say, I don't think I am too pleased with how it is turning out anymore. When I showed it to Kagic - he asked: You aren't putting in windows? And my immediate thought was: Crap.
I thought a skybox wasn't supposed to have windows! So, now - everywhere I look in this skybox, I think, "Ah, a window would look great here." However, this is a huge problem for me, because I absolutely HATE texture windows. I know I don't have a choice most of the time... but if I am making this, I want it to be something I enjoy. That means: I need sculpted windows. -.- On SLX, they start at $600L and skyrocket from there. I think I need some time to decide if this is the direction I want to go. I've already dumped over $4000L into this project with buying textures and crap, so I am at the point where I am thinking: I'm too far into it to stop now.
Maybe I'll take a break from it for a while. Or not, because I am in my "MUST FINISH!" mode with it. T_T BTW - Sorry for the random furniture pictures thrown about, they are meant to show the progress I've made since I finished the kitchen. xD
But omg - the bed! I have to say something about it - I came across this amazing tool called the "PipeMaker". I made the fantastic headboard thing using this tool. It makes making curves and well.... pipe-looking things soooooo much easier. Rez it, adjust the size of the bottom prim, click the top prim, and adjust the curve, length and everything there. It is totally awesome and bypasses the need to adjust annoying mathematical disasters with cylinder to torus matching. It is full perms, so just send me an IM (or comment here with your SL name) and I'll drop a copy on you. ^^
However, I did take some time to try on the new Tuli skins, which I also blogged on FL here - so I apologize if some of you are seeing this picture twice! xD The S3 skins were the current ones out when I first took notice of Tuli and they looked absolutely terrible on my shape. However, every generation of skins after that looked increasingly better on my shape. This one, the new Elizabeth line, looks the best so far. I've always admired people who can really pull Tuli's skins off, because they are beautiful, and I could never do it. But, with this line, I think her skins look beautiful, AND now, work better on my shape.
But. Still not enough to drag me away from my current skin. *Sigh* (And yus - I was naked during that picture above xD)

Wow it looks so great on you.
I think this will become my new favorite as well and yet we look completely different in it so don't worry it won't be creepy

Ok, so how is it that you and I looked almost completely identical in the Gala skins, but so different in this Tuli skin? LOL That's crazy nuts.
Also, where'd you get the pipemaker?!

OMG Sai I love love looooove the texture you used for the bed *squees!* Where did you get it? Did you make it yourself?

Also, I think it's perfectly fine not to have windows. Not everybody needs them. If you wanted to compromise, you could maybe have a balcony with French windows going out there? That way people would have a way to enjoy the outside sky scenery if they wanted.

I know I already said it in group chat.. but Sai, that skin looks great on you! And it still looks like *you*.
Pipemaker looks great - I'd love a copy when you get a chance - or let me know where i can pick it up. Thanks :)

Quaintly - The texture was one from a pack I bought at Distressed Textures. I really have no clue which pack it came from though, because I own several from there xD

Oooo... *goes of to look*
I am going to end up with so many textures that I might as well start building XD
