TatsuMaki - the Wind Ninja!

Well, it was about time. We're bringing the brand to life again and we're doing so in style. The new line of avatars is coming and today we're introducing the first of them - meet TatsuMaki - The wind ninja! It's fully animated, but able to cope with your own AO too, it's scripted for combat so you can fight right away, and last but not least, it ubercute! xStreet link for the first Hanzo release in about a year.

Tsuba preview

Thinking about a couple of tsubas on one blade. We shall see how it works, but it would be a sweet idea to have the same possiblities as with shingens, just with a sculpted tsuba, hm? The blades are being worked on intensively these days. Stay tuned :)

Sneak preview

No. I've not given up on the swordsmith job. With pleasure I see that many creators use our fullperm pack for their premieres, and to some it may seem that this new wave has saturated the market. Well I guess it's time again to remind the world where the skills are :) Start the preparations.

We've gone mad.

Yes. It's true. You ever wanted a mod version of a blade from me? Well how did it go, hun? Not much luck? :)) Well, from now on you don't have to ask anymore. In cooperation with PREFABRICA we've put together a starter kit for all the katana makers in the metaverse. This is the touch of our brilliance for your own products. The package contains a sculpted katana prefabricate, the scripts, animations and sounds. All you'll need to start making PROPER swords yourself. All with full permissions.

A sidenote: when you try yourself, and if you're any good..... Be sure to contact me and show me your piece. The hunt for talents here is neverending!

xStreetSL link that will make you rich :)

Yoshitsune Katana Released!

Yeah, we made it ":) A bit later than announced, but as someone has said in the groupchat, good things take some time. Well it's here. Single handed, simpler than the Shingens, yet with a funny two-steps coloring options. It's the initial release so we will appreciate any feedback on bugs and problems ofcourse. Thank you for your patience and enjoy :) Happy New Year to everybody! xStreetSL link

Minamoto Yoshitsune tribute coming soon

Once again I'm posting a preview before the release. Deep in the forges under Hanzo castle a new beauty is being born. Leather tsuka-ito, small dynamic tsuba, best yet habaki with lord Minamoto's mon engraved. The sageo is sculpted for the first time as well as the kashira part. The saya is made out of wood with dual coloring possibility - beautiful color combos will be there for you to play with. Same scripting as the Shingens, as we got some very good feedback for it, the Yoshitsune will most likely be even a bit faster.

This one is definitely coming before christmass and if we're lucky enough it might not be the only new blade by then :) Won't say more, keep tuned.

Aki lantern

It might look simple, but there's quite a lot of work behind this little lamp. It's sculpted, thus only 4 prims light, beautifully textured piece of solid work. Not only is it very decorative for a low primcount and copiable so that you can fill your garden with them, it's very clever as well!

You can control the lantern by clicking on it, switching it on and off, and setting the period of the day it will shine. So that you can make your lamps shine only during the night or day-only or both night and day. The lamp tracks the simulator time for this purpose. Not only you can fully control single lamp - when you rezz twenty of them, they know about each other and work in a network. So that you can quiclky set the scene by just a couple of clicks. And these features work sim-wide.

Doesn't look so simple anymore, does it? :) xStreetSL link.
