Secret Garden - Hot Tubs

 The Secret Garden - Hot Tub Gazebos come in two versions:

  • [Ds] Secret Garden - Hot Tub Gazebo AV
  • [Ds] Secret Garden - Hot Tub Gazebo PG

The Secret Garden product line is intended to bring the fun times out into the open.  From the Arbor Swing, to the Trellis Gate Shibari to these new Hot Tubs it gets easier and easier to make your own garden of secrets and decorate your spaces with all the funnest toys.  

This intriguing hot tub with its own gazebo is special in that it can seat one or two couples.  It has swaps allowing the females or males to be swapped.  When you sit it will ask you to identify which sitter you are.  A for the first couple, B for the second couple's sitters.  The hot tub works seamlessly with a single couple, just make sure both avis choose the same A or B.  

It has individual menus so each sitter can choose their favorite pose without affecting the others.

There is also a GroupSocial menu that allows all four sitters to relax.  There is even a sequence for these sits to keep things interesting.

There are controls for Jets and Steam (on the middle of the back of the tub) to bring the hot tub water to life!  

Presets and individual part controls give you endless possibilities!

Click the [Ds] logo button behind the control for the jets and steam to access texture change (endless variety and presets)

24 Texture Presets:

  •     Bare Woods (6)
  •     Painted Woods (7)
  •     Halloween (3)
  •     Christmas (5)
  •     Valentines Day (3)

Control individual parts:

  •     Arches/columns (12)
  •     Slats (12)
  •     Concrete (12)
  •     Roof (12)

The Hot Tub Gazebo is fully MOD (except the scripts).  It is possible to remove the steps, if you want to sink it into the ground.  Be aware that all of the jets are their own prims, so if you do decide to take it apart it is best to begin with the larger pieces by editing linked parts and selecting them and unlinking.  The root prim is on the floor of the tub, so if you do any linking or unlinking be sure to keep the root prim that invisible prim in the tub.  

The Gazebo is designed to integrate with the larger Secret Garden Gazebo and the various fences and fence related toys. 

Additional Features

  • Copy/Mod/No Transfer
  • Land Impact 24  
  • Strong LOD
  • Highly Detailed
  • Original Mesh
  • Original Hand Made Textures


About CoupleA and CoupleB

If you are seated as FemaleA/MaleA you will see the CoupleA menu.  If you are seated as FemaleB/MaleB you will see the main menus but only the CoupleB menu shows for you.  The two couples are separately controlled to prevent confusion.  That said, check out the Swapping menu for swapping both males or both females around, or swapping the F/M sitter of each couple.

Secret Garden - Carriage Chandeliers


The Carriage Chandeliers come in two versions:

  • Decor
  • The Adult Kink which include with 86  EXCLUSIVE long duration custom bento animations!

Features

  • Click the [Ds] logo button to access the light switch menu (no texture menu on this one)
  • Classic black and bronze design in new PBR textures, with backup legacy texture just in case.
  • Copy/Mod/No Transfer
  • Land Impact 11 for the Adult Kink version and only 7 for the decor.  Resizing will affect land impact.
  • Comes with adjustable vertical pipe and medallion 
  • Strong LOD
  • Highly Detailed
  • Original Mesh
  • Original Hand Made Textures


These lamps are similar to the Garage Cage Lamps and the Heritage Scroll Lamps, just a fun new style. 

Because I have not yet sorted a color change that can handle the new PBR these lamps only come in basic black.


ADJUSTING TO FIT YOUR CEILING

The decor versions can be stretched as you like without problems.  For the Adult Kink versions please pay special attention to the store logo on the floor.  All of the animations are located in that prim, and it must be the root of everything to work correctly.  That said, you can stretch the lamp a bit without affecting the animations much so long as that logo is at floor level.  I have adjusted it so that you can actually sink the chandelier just a touch, and the leg rings will still show, but the logo hides, or you can select a face and make it invisible once you have everything in place.

If unlinking the whole AK version of the chandelier, be aware that there are several invisible prims.  ring 0,1 & 2 are for the bondage.  Ring 0 is hidden in the bottom tip of the chandelier, ring 1 & 2 are on the floor.  The other four are light bulbs at the middle each lamp.  It is advisable to have transparency turned on (control + alt + t on pc) (command + option + t on mac) to ensure nothing gets lost.  It is copy so you can always rez out a new one and try again :)


ADULT KINK VERSION INFO:

There are enough animations here to keep you busy for a long time! This all-new, exclusive suspension bondage and sex menu is going to blow you away! As you would expect, great care has been taken to balance the offerings so everybody can get what they need, regardless of gender and preference. 

  • AVSitter - no poseballs, easy adjustment, experience enabled
  • Auto rezzing props
  • Fully RLV Enabled

Customizable Design: With 12 texture options for each part, you can control the look of individual parts, such as arches, columns, slats, concrete, roof, and rug.

Optional Extras: Add or remove the elegant rug and bottom step to fit your space and preferences. The rug can be retextured with any seamless texture, adding only 2 Land Impact (LI). The bottom step, when linked, allows for synchronized texture changes and adds 7 LI.

Efficient Land Impact: The gazebo has a land impact of just 36 LI in its base form, increasing to 45 LI when fully equipped with the rug and second step.

Elevate your Second Life garden with the [Ds] Secret Garden Gazebo Decor, a perfect blend of beauty, versatility, and quality. Whether hosting a gathering or enjoying a quiet moment, this gazebo is your key to creating the perfect outdoor ambiance.

Instructions for Use


When you rez the gazebo, it has a land impact of 45. If you want to reduce this, simply edit the linked parts, select the rug and/or bottom step, and unlink them. They begin linked so that the color change will work for them. To remove the optional parts open your edit window, click "Edit linked parts" and then select ONLY the part you wish to unlink and press unlink.  If prims are low on your parcel try doing this step in a sandbox like Dreams: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Dreams/56/213/26  and then pick it up after you alter it and rez the altered one on your land.

Don't like the default rug or step textures? You can apply any seamless texture to customize them. To prevent these parts from changing textures after you've customized them, add an "X" in front of the t;name in the prim description.

The gazebo can be resized, but remember that increasing its size will also increase the land impact.

The texture menus can be a bit deep, but they’re accessible via the button on a column on the right side of the gazebo. If you find yourself lost in the menus, use the [^Up] button to return to the top, where you’ll see options like "Parts," "Preset," and "Factory Reset." From there, you can navigate back down to the desired settings.

The Roof and Concrete textures might have unusual names, reflecting the wood colors they were originally paired with. These names correspond to the wood presets they best match.

For best results, start by selecting a preset that matches the wood textures you like, and then use the "Parts" menu to change any individual elements you'd like to customize further.

The white version can be used to tint your way to specific colors.

Secret Garden - Trellis Fence Set Decor

The [Ds] Secret Garden - Trellis Fence Set Decor  is 20% off at COSMOPOLITAN until 31 August.

This straight-laced fence set will allow you to build whatever fence space you need.  Combine it with the Trellis Gate Shibari or Wallboard Straight Fence to get that kink right out in plain sight.  

  • Trellis Gate Arch Decor with gates that open and close.  (note this has no sits in it)
  • Trellis Fence Short Decor
  • Trellis Fence Tall Decor
  • Trellis Fence Post Tall Single Tall and Short
  • Trellis Fence Gate Left and Right Decor (packaged to rez both gates together)
  • Straight Fence Single Piece Gate  Decor -a single linkset with gates included (they open)
  • Bonus example of the tall fence in 4 sections.
  • Bonus  ConcreteFooting, included in case your ground is not quite flat and you need something to fill gaps.  Keep in mind that if you are integrating with the Wallboard or Shibari Gate you WILL want those sections flat or avatars will be floating.   


ABOUT USING THE FENCE PIECES

The Fence sections are several pieces, to give you maximum flexibility, just unlink and use the pieces you need.  Single posts (without any shadows) are included. Once you get the setup you like, you can link all the pieces back together to lower the prim count.  See below for changing the textures.  It can be a lot easier to set the color before you begin assembling your fence.  Laggy sims may find the texture change to be slow, be patient.

This fence pack is completely interchangeable with the following sets and the HUD will change them all.


INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE OF THE NEW TEXTURE HUD

NOTE the HUD does not work on single prims, only on linked prims.

The included HUD works on all pieces in the Secret Garden Fences.  Once you click to apply a texture change, please wait until you see Texture Set Applied appear in your local chat.  Clicking too quickly can result in zebra fences where some has not changed and some has.  In laggy sims this may take a minute so please be patient.

There is a script called "_ActionColor::Plugin::Furniture 1.5" in each of the pieces in the box so that you are able to change the colors right out of the box.  Only one copy of the script is needed for any given linkset, so if you link fence pieces, the extra script(s) that are not in the root prim of the linked pieces will automatically remove itself.  This way multiple scripts are not trying to update everything and it reduces lag.  Linking the pieces once you have them in place can also reduce the total land impact of your items.  There is a copy of this script in the original package in a backup prim, in case you need it. 

Since you have a copy of the script you can safely remove the it once you have things how you want them to save sim resources.  You can also do it if you do not want a linkset to change while you are adjusting other items.  Simply remove or stop the script and that item/linkset will not be affected by the HUD until you return the script into the item or start the script again.  

NOTE: DO NOT CHANGE THE DESCRIPTION FIELDS, the texid=name is require for the HUD to operate.
