My PBR Japanese Home at Lunaria Emporium has been updated with better reflection probe coverage and improved day lighting inside. As seen in the photo, there are light switches in each room that control the different zones and the colors represent different lighting types.

Blue is for inside daylight and red is for the interior lamplight. The green one is only in the front room and out in the garden in the pavilion and controls exterior lighting.

If you have a previous version of this home, please contact me in Discord for an updated version https://discord.gg/SMBaqan3Ny If you would like to know more about reflection probes and PBR, check out the Tutorials channel in my Discord server.

You can walk through the home at the Emporium by clicking the Japanese sign on the left as you enter the lobby.

Here he is! Little Coco the Christmas Mouse! He's such a cute little fellow, but he's just a little mischievous, getting into all the Christmas stuff and playing with the decorations. However, he is just full of Christmas Joy and wants to help you decorate for the Holiday. You can find this little charmer in the Holidays & Seasons section of the mall. Blessings and much love, Lavia

Die Band, die Nein sagte: Eine unverschämt lange Ode an Fugazi

Willkommen, liebe Freunde der gepflegten Rebellion und des ökonomisch vertretbaren Konzertbesuchs.
Heute sprechen wir über eine Band, die in der glitzernden, lauten und oft unerträglich dummen Welt des Rock’n’Roll eine Anomalie darstellt.
Eine Band, deren größter Skandal darin bestand, keine Skandale zu haben.
Eine Band, die das Wort „Integrität“ so ernst nahm, dass es fast schon wieder komisch ist. Wir sprechen über Fugazi...

Meet our newest recruit at Desolate Expanse — a small bot with a big heart… and absolutely zero sense of responsibility.
He “decorated” his corner with pink paint, insists it was art, and now refuses to give the brush back.

He may be clumsy, slightly radioactive, and emotionally unstable (the good kind), but he’s the perfect companion if you like chaos with a pastel aesthetic.

Come visit him, give him a pat, or take him home before he repaints the entire region.
Adopt a bot. Save your walls. Maybe.

Happy Birthday, Ferd Frederix! 🎉

Today we celebrate not just another trip around the sun, but the man who’s kept whole worlds spinning.

Ferd, thank you for the countless hours you’ve poured into OpenSim — the fine-tuning, the bug hunting, the late-night fixes, the jaw-dropping characters and assets you’ve created, and the tools you’ve built that make our grids feel like home.
You’ve kept servers alive when they should have flatlined, solved problems the rest of us couldn’t even pronounce, and inspired new creators with your generosity and skill.

The OpenSim community runs smoother, plays harder, and dreams bigger because of you.

Here’s to your brilliance, your humor, your creativity… and to many more years of building worlds with your signature magic.

Happy Birthday, Ferd — we adore you!💕😘

🎄✨ This winter, Kingman City transforms into a Christmas wonderland. ✨🎄
🎁🌟 Wander through beautifully decorated streets, enjoy exclusive holiday offers, and immerse yourself in the joyful spirit of the season. 🌟🎁
❄️🎅 Right here in Arkham Grid, the magic of Christmas is waiting for you.
✨❤️ Experience it. Feel it. Live it. ❤️✨

Get ready to strip down and turn up.
Live DEEJAY' s will take you on a two-hour ride of high-energy beats.

Bikinis, bare skin, and beats that don’t quit.

This is the night to break loose, own your freedom, and dance like nothing’s off-limits.
Be there, or hear about it later.

A little rant. When SL implemented PBR textures, they included a script command called llSetRenderMaterial, which allows you to change the PBR material texture of a surface. Multiple scripts are now available there that do just that. This is similar to llSetTexture we've used forever to change the older blinn-phong textures.

When Opensim implemented their version of PBR, they decided that we didn't need osSetRenderMaterial activated for scripts, because really, who would actually use that stuff? If there's another more plausible reason I would love to hear it.

Ran into this trying to update a simple light sconce which allows you to touch the object to add light, fullbright, and glow to a surface to mimic a light that's turned on. For PBR, while turning on light is still the same, brightness and glow are managed by the emissive texture layer of a PBR Material. So to mimic a glowing light, you would need to be able to - you guessed it - CHANGE the material. But of course that's currently impossible in Opensim until someone incorporates that script function into code.

In the pics, you can see the PBR sconce on the left, and one with older textures on the right. In the top pic the light is off on both and in the bottom pic the light is on. The PBR glass looks great, and the light works, but you have no glow to show it's on. So for now, until osSetRenderMaterial is activated, I will have to set the glass material to always glowing. Or more likely, I will add a bulb inside with no PBR that will glow when touched.

I’m doing an impromptu stream at Sol Et Luna in Xinashi. The focus is the people who influenced and were influenced by Annie Lennox. Stop by if you’d like. hop://grid.wolfterritories.org:8002/Xinashi/134/156/27

They’re cute, they’re weird, they’re slightly ominous — the perfect pets for the end of the world.

Come take a walk, meet the new species, pick your favorite, and pretend you’ll be a responsible guardian.
Adoption optional. Awe guaranteed.

Adopt responsibly. Or don’t. It’s the apocalypse anyway.
