Oh, right, I hadn't blogged about it! I thought I had.

Making clothes for Blue Mars in Blender: quirks

Away for a week

Abyssin and I will be away for a week. We don't know whether we'll be able to log in into SL or not -- hopefully yes!

On another note:
The work about rebuilding and renewing our store is going strong. We've designed a new logo, we are working on new ads, and a new layout for the store.

Of course, all of this would be useless without new products... :) I'm testing new materials in Blender like crazy, and I'm having a lot of fun. I have good hopes that something wearable will come out of my experiments! :D
