Formed in 1965, Pink Floyd are probably one of the most loved groups of the Psychedelic era. Their 15 studio albums from 'Pipers at the Gates of Dawn' to 'The Endless River' spanned 47 years.

Floyd were renowned for their sonic experimentation, live performances incorporated lavish light shows and quadraphonic speaker systems. Concept works such a 'The Dark Side of the Moon' and 'The Wall' played on repeat on many bed-sit turntables of the 70's booming out the dark themes of alienation, war, insanity and dystopia.

Art surrounded much of Floyds output, cartoon illustrator Gerald Scarfe provided his disturbing ink-splattered caricatures for the rock opera 'The Wall' and their albums most often featured the work of surrealist graphic designer Storm Thorgerson who also produced covers for Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Peter Gabriel, the Alan Parsons Project, Genesis, The Muse, The Cranberries and Biffy Clyro.

Housed in the re-creation of Battersea Power Station on the Art Factory estates, the artwork of Pink Floyd is presented along with 3D recreations. Pink Floyd radio is permanently live when ever you need a sound track to close you eyes to and become comfortably numb. Look out for live shows and events coming soon.

Along a leafy path, where fireflies dance beneath an enchanted golden sky and the wind whispers ancient legends of days gone by,
At the foot of the ramparts of the Ignis estate, autumnal treasures await you—wonders woven by the hands of will-o'-the-wisps amidst the seasonal runes.
Come forth, knights and maidens of the new age—gifts await you there, should you dare to cross the threshold.

link: http://ignis-fatuus.no-ip.biz:8002/

Au détour d'un sentier feuillu, où les lucioles dansent sous un ciel d'or enchanté, là où le vent murmure les vieilles légendes du temps jadis,
Au pied des remparts du domaine d'Ignis, des trésors automnaux vous y attendent — des merveilles tissées par la main des feux-follets, parmi les runes de saison.
Passez, chevaliers et demoiselles des temps nouveaux — les cadeaux vous y attendent, si vous osez franchir le seuil.

Yesterday Amsterdam Bingvy , owner of Zweet ZurroundingZ, helped me with his wonderful dolphins. You can rezz one leader dolphin, then chose how many others will swim in the group. What you will see is a wonderful group of dolphins , swimming with natural moves and jumping out of the water every now and then. Want to get them too ? Visit the Zweet ZurroundingZ shop and look for the animesh animals, both for ubODE and Bulletsim. Thank you Peter :)

Another example of how it looks like when one can paint your own texture on SIM ground.Mountains on background are part of the sim, terraformed. the one at bottom, mesh. You don`t even see the difference anymore.
Using Wolfviewer (*) that can be downloaded at: https://wolf-grid.com/index.php

(*) Viewer works on other grids - not all features are available if playing outside WT though as they are server-coded.

The tool isn't the standard. Accuracy is.

And this issue existed long before AI.

Before AI, I used RhinoGold to create studio renders of my jewelry. Those renders often looked considerably better than the jewelry could look inworld at the time—not because the product was different, but because professional rendering gave me control over lighting, reflections and the environment.

Virtual worlds don't have natural sunlight. What we see is rendered by software, and the final appearance depends on the viewer, graphics settings, lighting, environment settings and the technology available at the time.

Then PBR came along, and suddenly materials such as gold could look dramatically more realistic inworld—for people using a PBR-capable viewer with the appropriate settings.

That's an important point: there are many variables affecting what any individual visitor sees.

Two people can stand in front of exactly the same object or in exactly the same region and have a noticeably different visual experience because of their viewer, graphics settings, lighting and hardware.

So expecting an advertisement to reproduce exactly what every person will see on their own screen isn't a reasonable standard.

The reasonable standard is that the advertisement fairly represents the region or product being advertised.

AI doesn't change that.

What works for one creator may not work for another. What looks good on one person's system may not look identical on someone else's. That's always been part of creating for virtual worlds.

Nobody gets to declare, “My AI use is responsible, therefore mine is acceptable, but I don't approve of yours.”

Creators don't need permission from other creators to use new technology.

If you don't like AI, don't use it.

If you do use it, use it responsibly.

And if you're wondering whether my AI advertisement represents Tumbletwig, there is a wonderfully simple way to find out:

Come visit Tumbletwig and see it for yourself.

That is the comparison that matters.

There is something wonderful about seeing Corazon del Mar come alive with visitors—people wandering the streets, exploring the shops, discovering little corners, and simply enjoying the atmosphere.

A region is built with prims, mesh, textures, and countless hours of work, but people are what give it life.

To everyone who has stopped by Corazon del Mar, whether you stayed for a few minutes or spent an evening exploring, thank you for being part of our world.

We hope you found something that made you smile, something worth remembering, and perhaps a reason to wander our streets again. 💗

Hi everyone.

I wanted to introducing OpenSim-Aura, a fork of OpenSim optimized for Hypergrid visitors & mini-grids.

I've been working on a custom distribution of OpenSim and wanted to share it with the community.

If you run a standalone region, a mini-grid, or a region where the majority of your traffic comes from Hypergrid visitors, or if you spend most of your own time HG traveling, this project might be of interest to you.

Compiled Binaries (Releases): https://github.com/amandaleeang/OpenSim-Aura/releases

Source Code: https://github.com/amandaleeang/OpenSim-Aura

Feedback and contributions are very welcome!

Experimenting with "Water on a prim", viewer side only - so you set the object's description to wolfwater and it will render water on the prim.

https://youtu.be/K87upEg-jz8

WolfViewer can be used on any grid, BTW.

Discover Fleetwood Beach by Monorail

The monorail is still used rather rarely by visitors to the sim. Apparently, many people simply do not yet know that there is such a relaxing and comfortable way to explore Fleetwood Beach.

And that is exactly what the monorail is perfect for: during the ride, you can simply sit back, look around, and discover many details that are easy to miss when walking or teleporting from place to place.

Fleetwood Beach has been created with great attention to detail. Along the route, there are many buildings, places, technical constructions, landscaped areas, and small scenes to discover. The combination of steampunk elements, unusual architecture, and the different areas of the sim looks especially interesting from the elevated perspective of the monorail.

To make the monorail easier to find and use, I have now marked the stops much more clearly.

The monorail stops at every marked station and remains there for about 10 seconds. During this time, visitors can simply click on the seat cushion of a free seat and sit down.

After that, all you have to do is sit back and enjoy the ride.

A complete journey takes a little over five minutes. That gives you plenty of time to experience the sim at a relaxed pace, get a good overview, and perhaps discover places that you may want to explore more closely on foot afterwards.

So if you visit Fleetwood Beach, take a few minutes and enjoy a ride on the monorail.

Take a seat, relax, and discover Fleetwood Beach from a different perspective.

# 🌍 BloodMoon Translator HUB — Now Available!

## 🇬🇧 English

👋 **Hello everyone!**

Until now, we have been using Translator HUBs based on an unofficial Google translation service.

Recently, Google started blocking translation requests coming from some of our server IP addresses when the service detected too many automated requests. This is especially noticeable during busy events, such as our parties at **Event Beach**, where many conversations and several languages can generate a very large number of translations.

When this happens, all Translator HUBs running from regions hosted behind the same public IP can temporarily stop working.

🔧 **To solve this problem, BloodMoon has created its own version of the Translator HUB.**

The new **BloodMoon Translator HUB** no longer communicates directly with Google. Translation requests now go through the secure BloodMoon infrastructure and use **Microsoft Azure Translator** as the translation engine.

✨ **What changes for users?**

Nothing! 😊

The Translator HUB works exactly as before:

🌐 Rez the HUB in your region
🖱️ Users click it and select their language
💬 Everyone continues chatting normally in local chat
🔄 Messages are automatically translated into the selected languages

The main difference is behind the scenes: we now use an official translation service with a much larger allowance of **2,000,000 translated characters per month**.

🔐 **Where can it be used?**

By default, the BloodMoon Translator HUB can only access the translation service from **servers authorized by BloodMoon**.

All regions hosted on BloodMoon servers are already authorized and can use the HUB immediately.

If you would like to use the Translator HUB on a region hosted on **another server**, please contact **Vlad Helsing**. The server's public IP address will need to be added to the BloodMoon Translator API whitelist before the HUB can operate.

🛒 **How to get it**

The **BloodMoon Translator HUB is available for 0 BM$** on the BloodMoon Marketplace.

Simply log in to the Marketplace using your BloodMoon credentials, get the product for **0 BM$**, and it will be automatically delivered directly to your inventory.

## 🇫🇷 Français

👋 **Bonjour à tous !**

Jusqu'à présent, nous utilisions des Translator HUB reposant sur un service de traduction Google non officiel.

Récemment, Google a commencé à bloquer les requêtes de traduction provenant de certaines adresses IP de nos serveurs lorsque le nombre de requêtes automatisées devient trop important. Le problème est particulièrement visible lors des soirées très actives, notamment à **Event Beach**, où les nombreuses conversations et les différentes langues génèrent énormément de traductions.

Lorsque cela arrive, tous les Translator HUB situés sur des régions hébergées derrière la même adresse IP publique peuvent temporairement devenir inutilisables.

🔧 **Pour résoudre ce problème, BloodMoon a créé sa propre version du Translator HUB.**

Le nouveau **BloodMoon Translator HUB** ne communique plus directement avec Google. Les demandes de traduction passent désormais par l'infrastructure sécurisée BloodMoon et utilisent **Microsoft Azure Translator** comme moteur de traduction.

✨ **Qu'est-ce qui change pour les utilisateurs ?**

Rien ! 😊

Le Translator HUB fonctionne exactement comme auparavant :

🌐 Posez le HUB dans votre région
🖱️ Les utilisateurs cliquent dessus et sélectionnent leur langue
💬 Chacun continue à discuter normalement dans le chat local
🔄 Les messages sont automatiquement traduits dans les langues sélectionnées

La principale différence se trouve derrière le système : nous utilisons maintenant un service de traduction officiel disposant d'une capacité beaucoup plus importante de **2 000 000 de caractères traduits par mois**.

🔐 **Où peut-il être utilisé ?**

Par défaut, le BloodMoon Translator HUB ne peut accéder au service de traduction que depuis les **serveurs autorisés par BloodMoon**.

Toutes les régions hébergées sur les serveurs BloodMoon sont déjà autorisées et peuvent donc utiliser le HUB immédiatement.

Si vous souhaitez utiliser le Translator HUB sur une région hébergée sur **un autre serveur**, merci de vous rapprocher de **Vlad Helsing**. L'adresse IP publique du serveur devra être ajoutée à la whitelist de l'API BloodMoon Translator avant que le HUB puisse fonctionner.

🛒 **Comment se le procurer ?**

Le **BloodMoon Translator HUB est disponible pour 0 BM$** sur le BloodMoon Marketplace.

Il vous suffit de vous connecter au Marketplace avec vos identifiants BloodMoon, de l'obtenir pour **0 BM$**, et il sera automatiquement livré directement dans votre inventaire.

🌙 **BloodMoon — rapprocher les personnes, quelle que soit leur langue.**
