New at {what next} is the Laurel Bedroom Collection featuring a bed, bedside table, blanket box, laurel rug, fireplace prints, drapes, 'corkboard lamp', vintage teacup candle, pile of books, breakfast tray and slippers (decorative only).
The Laurel bed has texture-changing scripts in the headboard that allow you to change the textures of the pillows and the blanket. There are single poses and couple poses in the pillows. There is a detailed notecard that explains how to use the pillows and change the textures included in the package.
The Laurel Bed comes scripted with reading animations -reading as a couple, reading a newspaper and reading a book, eating from a tray and drinking. These animations require the avatar to be 'wearing' a prop to look natural. The tray or props do not contain animations by themselves, the animations are scripted into the bed and the relevant prop (such as book or drink) must be 'worn'.
The breakfast tray, as well as being a decorative accessory, also acts as the dispenser for the animation props. You rezz the tray and touch the tray and you are offered a folder of props. All of these props are 'wearable' - choose one and right click on it in your inventory and 'wear'. Then choose the correct animation to play. The props are copy/transfer so your partner, friends and guests may use them too.
The blanket box has 11 sitting animations including reading animations. To use a prop with the reading animations you can click the pile of books to get a book and 'wear' it. The blanket draped over the blanket box is also texture changeable.
The corkboard lamp is a working lamp you touch to turn it on or off. You can also change the textures in the pictures to include your own photos and you can add multiple textures and cycle through them.
The Laurel bedroom set is a versatile and fun bedroom set. Perfect for your SL home decorating needs. Thank you to Winter Thorn for the review copies for our new blog.
