Made by SL Colonies

Custom mesh for your Second Life colony

Market pieces, stalls, sheds and halls, designed with you and fitted in your realm. For SL Colonies members. Joining is free.

Made to fit

A new look for one of our pieces keeps its footprint and part names, so it links into what you already have.

Mesh, not scripts

We build the model. The SL Colonies scripts inside your kit keep doing their job.

Your colony on it

Signs, banners and shields can be built with a face for your colony’s crest. On our kits that already show it, it appears on its own.

What we make

From one prop to a guild hall

Everything is made for SL Colonies realms, in the same style as the rest of the world, so it sits beside our stations as if it had always been there.

  • A single prop

    One piece: a sign, a cart, a well, a market crate with your colony on it.

    From L$2,500

  • A new look for one of our pieces

    A fresh design on the same footprint and part names as one of our kits, so it links into what you already have and our scripts keep working.

    From L$6,000

  • A small building

    Something with a footprint of its own: a stall, a shed, a gazebo, a lookout.

    From L$12,000

  • A large building

    Guild-hall scale: several linksets, an interior, doors and walkable floors. We scope it with you first.

    Quoted per job

Prices are in Linden dollars. Half is paid when you approve a concept, the rest on delivery. One round of changes is included; each further round is L$1,000.

Made to order

A Japanese-style market centre piece

A member wanted her colony's Market HUB to match the rest of her build. We drew four designs, she chose one, and we built it on the HUB's own footprint and part names, so it linked into her market and the market script kept working.

How it works

From your sketch to your realm

This is our own Market HUB, made the same way a commission is: a concept you choose, a rough model, the finished build.

  1. Concept painting of a timber-framed trading post with a shingle roof, a hanging shield sign, a notice board and crates on pallets.

    Concept

  2. Untextured blockout of the same trading post in Blender, each part in its own flat colour.

    Blockout

  3. The finished trading post mesh: plank walls, a shingle roof, produce bins on the counter, crates on pallets and an SL Colonies sign.

    Build

  1. Request

    Send us a picture of what you have in mind and tell us where it will stand and what it is for.

  2. Concept

    We send you concept images. You pick the one you want built, or tell us what to change.

  3. Deposit

    Half the price, once you have approved a concept.

  4. Build and in-world fitting

    We model it, texture it and fit it in your realm, linked into what is already there.

  5. Revision

    One round of changes is included, made after you have seen it standing in your realm.

  6. Delivery

    The rest is paid and the piece is yours to place.

Built to a budget

Land impact we agree first

Before we build, we agree a land impact budget with you and build to it. Every piece comes with its own hand-built detail levels, so it keeps its shape from across the region and gets simpler as you walk away.

The Market HUB at four detail levels, labelled high, medium, low and lowest, each simpler than the last.

Custom mesh: your questions

Who can commission a build?

Anyone who signs in to this website with their Second Life avatar and can pay in L$. Signing in is free, and every piece is made for use in SL Colonies.

Do you script it as well?

No. We make mesh only. A piece that replaces one of our kits keeps that kit's part names and footprint, so the SL Colonies scripts already in it carry on working.

What land impact will it have?

We agree a land impact budget with you before the build starts and build to it. Every piece comes with its own hand-built detail levels, so it holds its shape from across the region.

What do I need to send?

A picture or two of what you have in mind and where it will stand. A screenshot of the spot in your realm helps more than a long description.

How does payment work?

In L$, on this website. Half when you approve a concept, the rest on delivery. One round of changes after the in-world fitting is included; each further round is L$1,000.

Can it show my colony's crest?

Signs, banners and shields can be built with a face for your colony's crest. On SL Colonies kits that already show it, such as the Market HUB sign, it appears on its own.
