Xen store - awesome skyboxes!

the kitchen

the 'living room'


In general I prefer living on 'solid' ground (in my case a trophical island) above skyboxes, but when Chris invited me to his newly acquired home this week I was impressed when he showed me around his 'space ship'. I loved it all: the stained tiles, the aquarium, the light, the sound of hissing steam at the entrance, the rusty walls and pipes. I was speachless about so much perfection and detail.
Chris told me this was the work of Xenius Revere. After my extensive tour around his home, he took me to the shop where he had bought his skybox: Xen store


Xen store is relatively new and at this moment there are 3 skyboxes for sale. Chris told me he expects there will be a lot more in due time. The shop itself is fun, there is furniture, a dollhouse and you can tp inside all 3 skyboxes. 
If you are interested in creating content yourself using Maya you can follow a training at the Xeniversity.


Canal St skybox

Knowing Matt adores skyboxes I took him to 'Canal St', wich has an urban look and feel. This skybox gives you a choice of several window views and different wall textures (showing the rough wall texture). Wow and the light is super with the shadows on the wooden floor. 


Interested? Want to know more about prims, prices etc. Visit the store.

The Maya Empior

Yesterday evening I visited the Ancient Maya civilization. Wow what a place to visit. I admit it does take some time before you can enter: you have to read (at least some of) the extensive guidelines for this RP site, which are rather strict. For instance: only black or brown hair & no 'normal' clothes allowed. Mmm I am a dark haired girl 99% of the time so no problem for me.
The female outfit, including a tribal jewel is really awesome.

After reading the rules/explanation, getting a meter, clothes, a bow and arrows I entered the place. As a visitor you should wear a tag, which is part of the rather noob long black hair. Consider it my bad hair day when you spot me playing drums at the temple on the pictures below.I loved the place although my visit was of course far too short. I will return soon.
