Long-time (in SL™ terms) friend of mine and very well-known C:SI personality Ravish Tyne recently finished working on an awesome loft prefab, and I wanted to share my enthusiasm about it.
See more pictures of the loft on SL Exchange.
As you can see from the picture above, and especially from the other pictures on SL Exchange, this loft is truly beautiful. The textures are all high-quality, and aren’t repetitive. The baked-in lighting is expertly done, and adds a nice touch of realism and atmosphere (also note that the track-lighting is correctly positioned for the lighting effects). The atmosphere reminds me of a great time in my life (in my early 20’s) when I was living in a third-floor loft near the water with a couple of life-long friends, and really brought up some powerful and wonderful memories!
The loft is very configurable : You can change the window view to one of 15 different views (of several different cities around the world), each picture on the walls can be changed to one of over 30 built-in pictures or you can add your own, and the track lighting can be removed (it’s all one group) when you wish to free up just a few more prims. The roof is phantom, which really works great for me and makes me wonder why more builds don’t come that way by default.
The product is nicely packaged in a Builder’s Buddy system for easy placement, and I had absolutely no trouble putting it precisely where I wanted it and at what angle. It’s pretty low-prim for a build of this quality, coming in at a maximum of 121 prims, and as a guy that has 15 different half-finished high-prim builds of his own laying around most of the time, I really appreciate that :).
If you want to check it out in person in-game, you can see it at this slurl.

Got it. Thanks for the heads up. The textures are wonderful. The scenery outside is fun to play with too.
