blog 020318 The Little Branch Giant Beech Sense Event

The Little Branch created the Giant Beech tree for the new Sense event which opened on January 15, 2018, and runs for 25 days. That means you have around 6 more days to pick up this big beautiful tree at the event.

This Giant Beech is a four (4) season tree and it is animated too. The animation is very light and natural. The tree is 100% mesh and the permissions are copy/mod. You can change the size but as with all mesh, just watch the land impact.

Just a little general information about beech trees (printed from Woodland Trust) –

  • the scientific name is Fagus sylvatica and the family is Fagaceae
  • it is a large deciduous tree
  • beech trees can live for hundreds of years with coppiced stands living for more than 1,000 years
  • In Celtic mythology, Fagus was the god of beech trees. It was thought to have medicinal properties – beech leaves were used to relieve swellings, and boiling the leaves could make a poultice. Forked beech twigs are also traditionally used for divining

Head over to the Sense event before it closes to pick up the Giant Beech. And for more amazing trees and flowers for your land, visit The Little Branch mainstore sim too!

Blog 011818 Kraftwork Bus Stop

For this month’s PocketGacha event, Kraftwork created a set of props and scenes called Bus Stops. Each bus stop is quite different ranging from just the vintage bus stop sign to the urban bus stop to the larger minimalist bus stop – all are detailed and great for a scene or a location build. The backdrops include a graffiti covered grunge scene and an urban backdrop complete with street/sidewalk/window inside.

I shot a little video of the scenes to show a bit more:

The rare item is a very cool prop that could be a fun bus stop – the letters B-U-S – I wouldn’t mind if I had to wait at a stop like that! The rare has 5 animations for each letter – just swap to move from letter to letter. Cute stuff.

For the scene, I used buildings from Kraftwork and DRD’s Steele City Gacha from 2016.  The bus and street prims are also from DRD. The ferris wheel is from MadPea’s MyHelsinki gacha. The trees are from Skye Designs and the grass is new from Little Branch.

This round of PocketGacha runs through the 14th of March.  Visit Kraftwork for goodies for your home, sim design or props any time!
