Full bright avatar or not: Not full bright - no lighting = dark gray.

Part three comparing full bright and normal avatars in the dark.... This is full bright in the dark.

Ok - so I am "well" lit here with being full bright. No shadows = not realistic. Also notice how only I am "lit" - everything else is dark still. Also notice, my white top? No? Oh that would be because its not lit and its in the dark - and colour fades in the dark.......

Full bright avatar or not: Not full bright - with lighting = "illuminated"

Part two comparing full bright and normal avatars in the dark.... This is normal in the dark/midnight setting but with some lights on in the room. Notice that its not just my body that is illuminated but things around me. If I was illuminated but nothing else that would look "odd" Also due to being "lit" there are shadows - no shadows = odd (unless you are lit 360 degrees).

Full bright avatar or not: Not full bright - no lighting = dark gray.

Part one comparing full bright and normal avatars in the dark.... This is normal in the dark with no lighting.

Yes I look very dark and gray. However this is as it should be. When was the last time you saw people walking round at night - illuminated? How bright do you look in RL at night when you are sleeping? Dark in the dark... is what makes sense.

My apologies to anyone attempting to visit my regions on Mobius Grid or Wolf Territories Grid the last few days, especially since I am advertising both at OSFest. The two grids have been down for a few days, both with asset server issues. I still have a smaller region at Kitely, but that one is a store only. I'll post a notice in my profile when everything is back up.

Some time ago - I lost the OAR file that had all my previous builds on - and all the mesh parts I had created (or at least modified from 3darchive). I've just found one of my original houses on an oar file on outworldz "OAR Wedding By Isis Ophelia" - Really pleased as although its not a great build - it does have some of my mesh windows etc which are handy to reuse etc :) Still got my original name from Digiworlds as creator too - Jessica Moonlight.

Bear in mind, that this was 2015 - so it DOES show its age! Still.... glad to have at least ONE of my houses back! There was a smaller cottage version of this, and some older, some newer houses.

Another word on ZetaWorlds due to a recent discussion on OSW.

I decided to move Stark to ZetaWorlds some time ago for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, I wanted a professional grid hosted by IT professionals who know what they're doing, because I don't want to mess around with all the technical stuff. I just want to build and have fun. So I'm willing to pay for a sim if I get a stable and reliable service in return.
Secondly, if I have to pay for the service, I want to know who is behind the grid. I would never transfer money to an anonymous person. I have no problem with transferring my real data so that the company, which is registered in the commercial register, can issue flawless invoices.
Thirdly, I live in Germany. As a German, I feel better if I can use a German service like ZetaWorlds, which has to adhere to the legal requirements of my country.

In the discussions about grids and how this is handled with hypergrid access, I think they are comparing apples with oranges. A commercial, professionally operated grid has higher challenges to overcome and is obliged to guarantee a flawless service to its paying customers. In contrast, the operator of a private grid, often hosted on his own PC, can do whatever he wants. If it breaks down at some point, that's just the way it is. The tenants are simply out of luck. With a commercial grid, I can demand the service by law. These are two completely different things that are often forgotten.
