The Devi Tree

And this is the tree as it looks in SL. Textured, materials and spec enabled. It has 5 animations to hang subs in the tree, capture with AV control rlv enabled. You can move the subs around by using the SWAP button. The Devi Tree is only for sale at the Official Relay for Life vendor in my store. it costs 490L$ and 100% goes to Relay for life. That is why the tree has a little pink ribbon ♥ 

You can buy or take a look at the tree and try it out at the Fapple Store

The progress of the tree in Maya, I did not combine the stock and the tree to allow for refitting or even removing it all together. The hardest part was the hanging rope :D

I have a friend in SL, her name is Devi Ashe and she is a rl cancer survivor. One of the most important things I learned from her is that even when you face the worst, when death knocks on your door repeatedly, you still can choose to be brave and graceful, strong and courageous and be a light in other people's life. She is healed now and I built this tree as a symbol for her strength. 

Her boy Eric was the one who made a drawing that became the base model for the tree.

UV unfolding...

One of the most annoying things in Maya learning, this tutorial quickly and easily explains everything about unfolding and layout of UVs in Maya ♥

Camp Snoopy RLV Cage

Made different metal colors for the cage and also the carpet colors adjustable with HUD, the name

plate also has an on touch texture change to change the name, it has many different nicknames/insults depending on your mood :D

Simple metal pet cage. With small carpet on the bottom and a drink bowl hooked in. Built after a rl picture :)  With padlock. Added name tag above the door.

Stuff I make that is not for sale...

Trying things is the best way to learn....

This is what the cage table looked like at first, because it is round to hold an avatar, it had to be much larger than I expected, so I restarted and then made the one in wood. Maybe in the future I can rethink this one. A heart plate with cherries. Also did not make it to SL :D

This is my ring, it actually looks awesome in world, I made the diamond separately to be able to use an animation on the texture, so it looks like it is sparkling. 

This I made for someone who gives classes In Core Values, she needed it for her graduating students. 

Looks cool in SL too :D

Topology!

This video covers the fundamentals of topology. It discusses the use of topology, as well as the use of poles. Then it continues on to go over the use of the use of loops in topology, as well as how to create, control, and remove them. If you ever wanted to learn how to create good topology for your models, this is how to learn exactly that. 

Tidy and Tight!

Mistress Chair

This chair has a many single sits for the Mistress and also one for the sub (controllable by the Mistress) with a lot of nice props, a cuddle menu and a play menu. What was important for me was the fact that no matter what position I put my sub in I can still sit my avatar the way I want. 

Gives a lot of mix and match :D 

The washboard for sub to kneel on, find it in the sub solo menu :)

Made a texture HUD for this one too ♥

The Mistress Chair, made the drawer to go with the tool box, used extrude. Both Pillows

tapered cubes and then with nCloth dropped on the wooden base. Probably used too much smoothing, but even after softening edges I could still see edges in the pillows after upload in Second Life.

The 3 most important settings in Maya!

Auto-save! Incremental saving! Infinite undo! This video shows you how to set all of these things up in Maya 2016. If you're going to be using Maya then you really need to get these set up properly to save you tears and self harm later.

How to learn Maya?

I have not followed classes to learn Maya, I have watched YouTube thousands of hours and it took me about 6 months to learn it good enough to upload to Second Life. This one is a very good one to start:
