What's next for Torley Textures?

Posted on: March 24, 2007

I really feel good about the sharp fizz of green apple soda. Haven't had it in ages. Am drinking cherry right now, and thinking about future projects. After my LOVE set of Torley Textures, there's a logical progression: pink comes green, so I'm announcing ahead of time that the next TT pack will be titled LUSH, as in "lush green grass" or "lush verdant ideas".

While I'm not a comic strip artist (yet), several recurring themes have cropped up on my blog. You may've noticed that in the MythArc category, I regularly run post-processed works of art based on original Second Life screenshot, often accompanied by text portraying a fictional AVR = Alternate Virtual Reality. Or what about the solo piano music I've been sharing? My Video Tutorials are the DIY joy which came out of my own frustrations of not having more vivid learning resources in Second Life. Speaking of SL, inworld exploring's something I like to blog about at least weekly. And of course, related on the seed content front, we have the Torley Textures.

Heck, after dancing for textures, I'm tempted to fuse more of my projects. (All the background music in my vidtuts is by me, which came out of my desire for convenience; since I made it, I don't have to worry about licensing rights. :) ) Like chemical elements, the aforementioned are modular joints which can be plugged into each other. Particularly with the textures they're rich, full, yet provide a flexible base to work from and make your own lovely stuff. Thus, what's so compelling to me isn't always what I began, but where you take it.

And here you have it.

    I eagerly await the lush pack of TT coming.

    The last pack has been used extensively by me, holder and glass most often. Some of them I used as stand alone art themselves on walls like a canvas. I really encourage people to check out and use your textures but I also encourage others to go make their own and play with Filter Forge.

    A new resident was saying that they hoped to get into building at some point but he didn't have any textures, I whipped out my copy of TT and took care of that. Let there be no obstacle..go forth create!

    Your classical improvisations are much appreciated as you know it is my favorite style of music. I feel almost zen ish when I am building and listening to your music.

    Thank you for contributing to our world community, you are the best.

    @Ravenelley: One of the most precious things in my life, without question, is the many ways in which we communicate. I thank you graciously for being so supportive of my works and plays, and I only hope I can do the same and more for you. :)

    As you know as we've grown together, my life and Second Life have been fraught with so much frustration that I've catalytically converted into joy. It agonizes me to no end, thinking of all our Resis who'd be lost without a guiding hand. And I think of those who helped me find my way, and this is my positive payback.

    I continually seek to inspire others so that they may inspire others in kind: the best students are the best teachers.

    I'm a consequence of actions.
