Cuddle Rowboat Update

We have released an update to the Cuddle Rowboat range, low prim and HD models. This update includes a feature that allows the boat to be drivable while cuddling.

While driving, the rower can touch the boat and select Position from the menu, this will display a choice of Rower, Female, and Male. Selecting male will move the driver from the rower position and placed onto the male pillow position without standing up and will remove the oars and start the cuddle animation.

the boat is not drivable if sat on the pillows directly, must start on the main driving seat them using the menu move to the cuddle position.

Cuddle Rowboats can be found on the SL Marketplace or by visiting the inworld store to see the full range.

The Fishing Village

It's been a while, but us at TUFF have been hard at work with a new area we're calling the Fishing Village located in our North Of Elements sim.

The Fishing Village is full of structures including little sheds, large houses, boats, cabins, paths and plants. Around the village is a long walkway going around most of the sim and centred around the main TP point for the sim.

The main feature of the village are the large houses overlooking the walkways and ocean around. The smaller Old Wood House:

This house is made of old thick wood and includes large decking and a upper level loft with a massive window and glass doors. The lower level of the house is large and open with a staircase on one side with a back door under the stairs.

Also in the area and based off the smaller house is the Large Old Wood House:

Wider and slightly longer, this house has a much larger upper loft area and includes the same massive loft window and glass doors. On the lower level is a back dock cut into the house and is surrounded by windows and glass doors.

Included in this larger house is door security and window privacy. House settings are handled by a Control Box on the lower back wall. Manual for the large house can be found on the right column in this blog.

Connecting the different areas of the village is a path, including a dirt path:

This path is part of a collection of dirt paths and ground coverings found next to the main North Of Elements TP point. The pack includes 3 different strength dirt paths and 2 different ground coverings which we've used under a few sheds.

A small island next to the village has a number of fishing related structures, one of which is a dry dock with a sailboat on it.

The dry dock is made from sculpted polls holding the blue & white sailboat up high.

Also on the island is a large fishing boat display. This boat is not drivable and is full of detail in a moldy dark wood texture and big crain on the back.

A number of seats are included around the boat, including a fishing animation and fishing rod giver.

The Fishing Village can be found at North Of Elements and has links back to our main sim for boats.
Items can also be found on Xstreet and now the new SL Marketplace.

Fishing Boat Dock Updates

Latest round of updates continuing from last week now includes the Fishing Boat Dock Rezzer pack.

Using Sculpted planks and poles, the 3 docks in the pack look more realistic with rough edges. Like with the other Dock Rezzers the prim count has dropped by half, with the large dock above using 25 prims, the medium in the picture directly above using 16, and the small dock shown below using 6.

As well, we've updated the Docks to use the new online Help guides too. Updates available using the Dock Rezzer's built in update feature.

Cuddle Rowboat & Motorboat Dock Update

Continuing with yesterdays update, we've released the next version of Cuddle Rowboat Dock Rezzers and Motorboat Dock Rezzer. Both low prim Cuddle Rowboat and HD types are included with the update.

With these Dock Rezzers we've changed the decking to sculpts like yesterdays Boathouse update, reducing the total prims and adding a more damaged and rustic feel to the docks. The prim count as basically halved with the HD Cuddle Rowboat dock at 9 prims, low prim Cuddle Rowboat dock using 6, and the Motorboat dock using 8 prims.

As well, we've updated the Docks to use the new online Help guides too. Updates available using the Dock Rezzer's built in update feature.

Boathouse Updates

Big round of updates coming over this week, but first we've released an update to our boathouses for the Rowboat HDs. First time since it's original release the boathouse structure has been modified.

Main part of this update is the planks of the decking, been changed from individual prims to sculpts. With this we've been able to get a look more suited for the boathouse and the TUFF style with the planks damaged edges and rough look. Using the sculpts the boathouse's prim count has been reduced by 10 prims, 24 in total for the boathouse rezzers and 23 for the boathouse structure.

Also in this update and more for the new customers is a change in the Help guide in the way of an online solution and removed the notecards (More about this in another post).
Updates available using the Rezzer's built in update feature or contact us for a copy.

New Motorboat

Using our new White & Green texture we have a new motorboat.

Unlike our other motorboats this version doesn't have cuddle pillows at the front, so it uses less prims than the others, 11 in total. Also the boat uses a different motor on the back, using simple sculpts and rusted textures.

New Texture and Boats

We have released a new boat texture, old White & Green. This new texture has been put onto our Sailboat and our Cuddle Rowboat HD.

White & Green Sailboat:
This sailboat is slightly different to our normal larger sailboats. It's sail is very degraded to suit the new boat texture, and it has less prims because of a new rudder, 9 in total.
