Closing Sale!

It pains me greatly to announce that June 26th, 2015, will be the last day that the sim "Alternate Reality" will be open.  


Q: Why?
A: Due to time constraints I have been unable to create much in Second Life let alone maintain the island.


Q: Will the Affiliate vendors still function?  Will you still have a Marketplace store?  What about ReScene,ect?
A: Support for ReScene, Builder's kits, and all other products will continue.  Affiliate vendors will still be maintained.  Marketplace listings will still be maintained.


Q: Will Arctic Greenhouse be closing entirely? 
A: Not entirely; you will still be able to purchase products through affiliate vendors or the Second Life Marketplace.  The inworld store however, will be close and there are currently no plans to reopen.


Q: Sale?
A: Yes, many products have been heavily discounted for a sim-closing sale!


Q: When?
A: June 26th will be the last full day that the sim will be open, it will go offline at an unknown time on June 27th.

Finally a huge "Thank you!" to the many brilliant patrons, builders, artists and designers who have helped keep my dream and the island afloat over the years, I sincerely hope that everyone reading this enjoys their Second Life and finds the most joy possible in both lives!

ReScene

ReScene is hands down the most exciting thing I've ever worked on in Second Life. It allows you to create complex cinematic cutscenes featuring multiple avatars, with fully controlled camera parameters, animations, movement, and more!

There have been a lot of fun "emergent" uses for ReScene along the way - I originally just wanted a way to make a tool for small inworld cutscene without spending hours hard-coding camera parameters, movement,ect. All of the scene information can be exported to notecard(and played back from notecard), so you can create any number of scenes attached to builds or furnishings that you sell, opening up endless possibilities. ReScene works excellent for machinima, and cuts out hours of editing or trying to get that perfectly timed shot. While scripting knowledge isn't explicitly required, as a scripter you can write your own plugins or even change the full perm Interface script in order to combine ReScene with your own games, roleplay events, and more.
