Schadenfreude Curious Jack o' Lanterns

And more pumpkins to be found at Collabor88!  8 faces carved into pumpkins, each separate with the naturals option of 16 pumpkin options, mostly shades of oranges with a couple of speckled squashes, plus 10 shades of stems, and flames in 2 texture styles to light up the insides (a more realistic candle flame, and a fancier option).  The uberpack of all 8 also includes a lot more pumpkin options! in weirdo colors of ghost pumpkins, blue pumpkins, pastels, neons, desaturateds, dark and moodys, and a few pastel ombres; plus 5 colors of flame and light to light up your pumpkins, each in both flame options.  Find a treat bucket there now too- there are 13 to collect at events I'm currently in, in the elephant on the dresser, for group members of a few groups, and a few other places around.  Grab one and check the included notecard for all the locations!

The jack o' lanterns all light up with projector lights of their face, and also include non projector options that don't cast light but still "light" up.  (With the introduction of PBR, projection lights are becoming less optional and more always on- but they can still be too much for your environment and you may not want light cast, just the flame on and off and glow.)  Light is also editable on all- set inside tint (note: PBR and non PBR tint in different places, and that will not be carried over!) and glowing emissive color tint, flame tint, glow amounts, and light amounts (intensity, falloff, etc.) while it's lit, and it will be remembered (note: only some of these options will be remembered if you change a pumpkin with the HUD after setting anything, with the way it overwrites some things, so make your color selection first!  That was always the case before, but there are some other weirdnesses with the way it overwrites things with the way PBR works, more things are attached to the material instead of the object) when you turn it off and on again.

PBR and non PBR texture options, pick your preference with the HUD, fallback textures will change to match PBR choices for those not on PBR viewers.  As most (but not all!  Depends on what the thing is) of the time, PBR Metal and Roughness settings are also editable to some degree- you can make them a bit shinier (or less shiny) if that's your preference- I try to do as much adjustable in SL as I can, so it's as flexible as I can come up with so you don't have to like what I like!

You can also touch and hold for 5 seconds and set the access to only yourself as the owner, members of the active group the pumpkin is rezzed under, or everyone for who can turn them on and off on touch.

At Collabor88 until November 6.
