What We Do

PostDateIcon Tuesday, 26 February 2008 00:00 | PostAuthorIcon Author: Anjin Meili | PDF Print E-mail

Skyhighatry Designs develops unique products for use on the grid.  These products range from landscaping and building tools to complex scripts and methods.  We share our technology thru the philosophy of Open Source, providing scripts, tools, libaries, and methods to those who wish to learn.  We also sell the products we generate thru the on grid corporation Skyhighatry, and have refined marketing methods to bring products to virtual communities.

The results of Skyhighatry's products are outstanding.  In our first month of active sales to the grid community we achieved a record setting pace of sales that exceeded a million dollars ($l) in net profits.  These numbers continue to grow as the popularity of our work spreads across the grid.

Most of our products are firsts, and many remain exclusive to Skyhighatry.

We were the first to introduce sculpted landscaping items like Rocks and Trees.  Each unique with not only organic visual texture, but organic three dimensional shapes.  No longer is Second Life builds limited to regular shapes like cubes, cylinders, and spheres.  Thru the use of sculpties, we provide realistic rocks, cliffs, walls, and trees.

We introduced sculpted relief maps of simulator terrain within 30 minutes of the release of the sculptie feature to Second Life.  Within the first few hours, we had already mapped a few dozen sims to the delight of many estate owners.  Now our mapping product is the grid standard, and delivered thru vendors and exchanges all over second life.  For 100 lindens, you to can Map Your Sim, In Just One Prim!

One of our premier tools is the SnurbO'Matic.  A first in providing a tool to allow editing of sculpties inside second life.  As well the only tool that allows molding of regular primitive objects into sculpties.  With a simple interface, and methods most builders have already perfected using the second life viewer, the SnurbO'Matic brings sculpties to everyone.  Anyone can make a sculptie within minutes, yet a skilled user can create awesome sculpties in just a few hours.

In the development of the SnurbO'Matic, we created enabling technologies that allow other developers to create tools for sculpted prims.  We provide these systems based on an easy to calculate formula.  Essentially we just as the developer to give us what they can, and are willing to share, based on what they feel the value to be.  By treating others fairly, we find others treat us fairly in return.

Font Blocks were also a first to the grid from Skyhighatry Designs.  Rather then simply 2 dimensional images of fonts, we developed the first set of sculpted letters.  Not stopping with our ABC's, we also rendered the entire typeset including numbers, symbols, and both upper and lower characters.  New fonts are in development, and we are continually improving and developing uses for them.

The Bas Relief sculptie creation method is also well displayed in the many art panels we create.  Each piece is a sculpted relief of ancient art, fossils, and patterns.  Also a first!  The methods used were initially developed as a complex set of programs that could find and extrude the details.  After many people asked us to teach them the methods, we reworked it a procedure executable in just a few mouse clicks using Photoshop or Gimp.  We teach classes to Second Life citizens weekly.  The results from students are fantastic.  They show that limitations do not exist in the face of good tools and methods to problems.

We continue to develop new products, and expand our catalog continually.  Thru partner programs we offer other content creators access to our developed network of vendors, customer service, and most important, customers.  Sharing profits from products directly with new creators gives them a quick way to successful products on the grid.

The Skyhighatry  brand is also the name of our Second Life corporate identity.  To further our brand awareness, and allow participation in community driven securities exchanges on the grid.  Skyhighatry Designs is not a fictional company, and we also consider Skyhighatry(c) to be a very real entity and stand firmly behind the products, image, and customers Skyhighatry maintains.  But so long as the securitys exchanges and second life community uses terms like 'Fictional' and 'Game' to describe stock exchanges, banks, and corporations... We will maintain Skyhighatry as just that.  A virtual company, traded publicly on a fictional virtual exchange, with holdings secured by virtual game banks, but owned by a very real company with strong ethics and community spirit.
