New in Carriage Trade: Orientalia Harness Sets and Complementing Mane/Tail Sets

 

Orientalia Harness Set Includes Bridle, Harness, Mane and Tail Jewelry

New today in the Tack Room @ Carriage Trade: Orientalia Harness sets and complementing Mane/Tail sets!

The Orientalia suite of Harness, Jewelry, and Mane/Tail Sets are designed to work together to create a harmonious whole.

Orientalia Set in Blue

Extensive use of sculpts add rich detail, such as the tiny gargoyles and dragons featured on the harnesses; the rich spiked combs of the jewelry set for mane and tail, and of course the carved detail work of the mane and tail sets themselves.

The Jewelry includes separate pieces for the mane and the tail. “Add” these pieces to your mane and tail. They were designed to use with the Orientalia Mane/Tail sets. They may complement other mane/tail designs as well.

The Harness sets include an extensively sculpted bridle with tassles and crystal ball charms, and a body harness with charms, tassles, and decorative trim such as dragons and gargoyles. Available in 10 colors, the Harness Sets include the Bridle, Body Harness, Mane and Tail Jewelry.

Orientalia Mane and Tail set in Shades of Black

The Orientalia suite of Harness Sets & Mane/Tail sets are designed to work together to create a harmonious whole. The mane & tail sets were designed specially for the Orientalia harness set, and are available in 6 color sets for a total of 70 colors.

Orientalia Mane and Tail set in Shades of Flaxen

The Orientalia Mane/Tail sets come in Shades of Brown, Shades of Black, Shades of White, Shades of Flaxen, Shades of Sorrel, and Shades of Grey.

These manes & tails are produced for the Draft modifications of the Water Horse avatar. They probably will not fit other avatar models. They will NOT FIT: the light horse or other modifications without extensive rework and modification.

New in the Tack Room @ Carriage Trade: Candy Coats for the Water Horse Avatar

Carriage Trade’s Candy Coats for the Water Horse avatar are a new hand painted series of coat textures for the Water Horse avatars.   Handpainted shadows and highlights give new definition to the avatar.

The coats are delivered via script, each carefully labeled for ease of use.  Scripts are no mod, copy, no transfer.  Each script will retexture the appropriate body part and set the various parameters – all you need to do is drop them in, following our simple instructions. No more fussing with manual changes to your avatar parts, just drop, touch, and go!

For Candy Coats to give you best results, you MUST know how to edit prims. No customer support is available for this. If you need to know how to edit prims, please see the Second Life Wiki or visit Builder’s Brewery, where basic editing classes are taught.

Candy Coats are  available in:
Pleasing Peppermint, Twisted Licorice Heaven, Orange Dreamsicle, Dark Chocolate Mocha Swirl, Butterscotch Brownie, Marshmallow Splendor, and, Luscious Lemon Lollipop, in addition to Quest and Hunt coats.



**Using your Carriage Trade Candy Coat Scripts**

The Carriage Trade Candy Coats are a new, hand painted series of coat textures for the Water Horse avatars.

The textures are delivered via scripts, which will both retexture as well as change the orientation/angle/repeat/offset of the texture on the selected body part.  The scripts are designed to self-delete as soon as they have done this, so you do not have additional laggy scripts running.  If you do not like a face or leg marking, just keep dropping scripts into the part till you find something you like.

What is in your package:
Notecard, boxed backup scripts, and scripts for each of the parts of your Water Horse avatar.

********Using your scripts to color your avatar*************

1. Rez out all of your parts of your avatar.

2.  Open an Edit window (Control-3) and click the “Edit Linked Parts” box.

4. Select ONLY the prim you want to retexture and carefully drag the matching script into the folder in the Content tab of the prim. This is particularly important with the Ears, Jaw, and Head/Neck/Eyes.

5.  Touch the prim. The script will instantly retexture the prim and change the offsets and repeats and delete itself. Don’t worry if you don’t see it in the prim, it did what it was supposed to do!

6. Rename your prim parts to the color, and take back into inventory.

7. Wear your new coat!

*****Mistakes will happen********
But don’t worry. The scripts are copiable, so you can make mistakes and just go back and fix it.

Watch out that you don’t just ‘drop’ the script onto a link set. It will retexture the root prim (whatever that is) but it may or may not retexture the prim you wanted to have retextured.

Also, work on ‘ground’ not on another prim.

Orientalia Manes & Tails for Ponies, Only!

Everything Poneh!

This week, new mane and tail sets!

Each style of mane is produced in anywhere from 20 to 52 colors to give you the most attractive look for your pony.  The manes & tails are sold in color packs of four similar colors per pack.  Most are packed as follows: Palomino, Blacks, Browns, Blondes (Flaxens), Sorrels (shades of red and chestnuts).  The Shaggy Pony and the  Orientalia Mane/Tail set also comes in 8 additional sets, which offer a broad range of options.

Harness Mane & Tail Set, only for Ponies!

The Harness Pony Mane & Tail sets can be customized with your choice of rose stand-up colors and ribbons.  These are textured using textures developed in Photoshop, not through a color picker, so color changes are $500 L per change for nonexclusive changes, and $2500L for exclusive changes.  We will be happy to make this change to a single color and send you your new set within 24 hours, as a copy/mod/no transfer set.  If you need more versions (for a team, for example) please contact us. We are happy to help and make sure your colors match!

Glamour Mane & Tail Set, available in 20 colors, only for Ponies!

Each style is different. The Show style is designed to present a sleek, freshly brushed look; the Glamorous style is for the pony with Hollywood aspirations; the Harness set is the work pony; the Orientalia is for those ponies with dreams of far Tibet; and the Shaggy set is for everyday, running around in the field, ponies.
