Over at SimTrek, Dominie wanted ears for her Vulcans – proper Vulcan ears, thank you very much, that angle forward like Spock’s. My Vulcan Sims and I thought this sounded like a splendid idea, so I took her up on it. 
Vulcan Ears for All Ages
Rank Insignia – New and Improved!
As I’ve said before, during 2013 I plan on updating all my old body and accessory meshes. But I’m going to jump the gun a little and start with my Starfleet rank insignia already – they really needed help.
I haven’t just updated the meshes, though. I’ve updated… well, everything.
Changelog:
- all meshes have been updated; they now have a better shape and look crisper
- all UV maps have been updated so that they actually make sense
- all textures have been updated, following the new UV maps
- the admiral’s rank insignia for TNG/VGR now have their own meshes and recols
- the TNG/VGR shoulder rank insignia have new bone assignments; they now move properly with the shoulder and won’t clip as badly into the Sim’s body
- and last but not least, all rank insignia now have custom thumbnails in CAS and in game, so you’ll no longer have to squint at a nondescript head to try to figure out how many pips it’s wearing
Two Invisible Lamps

As a storyteller, I sometimes want some extra light in my screenshots, but that doesn’t necessarily mean I want some extra lamps in my screenshots. So I made a couple of invisible ones.
Plumb Bob Lamp at Leefish.nl!
This is all Shane Peltzer’s fault, you know. 
The green recol of my GAVIK table lamp reminded him of a plumb bob and he wondered why there aren’t any plumb bob lamps. Me, I thought a plumb bob lamp sounded like a great idea, and me being me, I of course had to make one.
So here it is: the one and only Plumb Bob Lamp. It comes with six recols: green, green yellow, yellow, orange, red and platinum. When turned on, it rotates counter-clockwise (like, you know, a plumb bob), and of course it also has the plumb bob glow. You can only get it at leefish.nl, though, so hurry on over there right now! 
Sticky: Mesh Updates!
During 2013, I plan on updating all of my old accessory and body meshes.
Most of the meshes I use for my Starfleet uniforms and accessories were made more than five years ago. I’m a better, more confident mesher now (for one thing, I no longer think that fat morphs have to look like shapeless blobs just because most Maxis ones do) and I also have better tools at my disposal. So it’s high time for a mesh overhaul.
The meshes that have been updated to date can be found under the *UPDATES* category, as well as on the Updates page. The updated meshes will of course also be added to the relevant posts.
