I am honored to share the news that Fred Beckhusen’s “Phaze” collection will be coming to the Weathered Woods Second Life Marketplace store.

Phaze was the Second Life region of Fred Beckhusen and Debbie Edwards, and the creations associated with Phaze represent their creativity, work, and history in Second Life. Full credit for these creations and their legacy belongs to Fred Beckhusen and Debbie Edwards.

Weathered Woods is honored to provide a new home where selected pieces from this remarkable archive can once again be made available to the Second Life community.

This will be a carefully curated collection. Fred will decide which creations from his archives he wishes to release, and those pieces will be added to Weathered Woods over time. Each Marketplace listing will preserve the appropriate creator attribution and acknowledge the history behind the work.

For me, having Fred’s work represented alongside my own creations at Weathered Woods is an extraordinary honor. I look forward to helping preserve this little piece of Second Life history and making Fred and Debbie’s creations available for others to discover and enjoy again.

Please Note! Platform Availability Notice


The Phaze Archive will be curated separately for Second Life and OpenSim. Items, versions, permissions, and availability may differ between platforms.

Each platform will feature content specifically selected and approved for release there. An item available on one platform should not be assumed to be available on the other.

All original creator credits and applicable licensing will be preserved.

To Address any confusion:

A Note About the Phaze Archive

I would like to clarify the purpose of this project.

The Phaze Collection represents archived Second Life creations by Fred Beckhusen and Debbie Edwards. Our goal is preservation—to restore these precious assets, keep them from being lost to time, and allow selected creations to be enjoyed again in the environment for which they were originally created.

These are not simply files that can automatically be moved to OpenSim. Some contain Second Life-specific scripts and functionality that would need to be rewritten or adapted for OpenSim before they could work properly.

We are also not using Second Life Marketplace primarily as a money-making venture. It is the Second Life distribution portal available to us, making it a practical way to preserve and provide access to selected pieces from the archive.

OpenSim is separate. Fred has generously provided creations to the OpenSim community through Outworldz for well over a decade, and new resources continue to be added there. We do not distribute through Kitely Market. We distribute here:
https://outworldz.com/

Many of our OpenSim friends also maintain homes and avatars in Second Life. Those are the people this announcement was intended to reach. We are part of communities that overlap; enjoying one virtual world does not require us to stop enjoying another.

Most importantly, this project is about preservation, respect for the original creators, and ensuring that an important collection of virtual-world creativity survives to be enjoyed again. ❤️

Added my Onboarding Widget today to the DragonCommand Platform. This should help cut down on Support Tickets for Grid Owners from folks who might find it difficult Creating an Account and/or Avatar:
ONBOARDING WIDGET — THE FLOW
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
State 1: Just registered (Hatchling)
→ Right-side popup appears
→ Step 1 ✅ Account Created & Verified
→ Step 2 → Create Your Avatar (CTA button)
→ Step 3 🔒 Log In via Firestorm (locked)

State 2: Avatar created (Fledgling)
→ Step 1 ✅
→ Step 2 ✅
→ Step 3 → Download Firestorm + Login URI
→ Widget shows one more time then gone

State 3: Has logged in before
→ NO WIDGET — they know what they're doing
That's it. Once they complete all steps and they have their Avatar and they are in-world, the widget disappears forever! (It is dismiss-able in the meantime if they get irritated with it. It just appears at each log-in until the user creates their Avatar. Can be disabled for System Admins who do not intend to create avatars.

An Vanaheims Küste ist ein Schiff auf Grund gelaufen. Wir haben mal schnell noch etwas von der Ladung gerettet. Muss wohl ein Kunsttransport gewesen sein. Aber kommt und seht selber....

A ship has run aground off the coast of Vanaheim. We managed to quickly salvage some of the cargo. It must have been an art shipment. But come and see for yourselves...

DreamGrid owners will love this Mesh viewer and Uploader, with no timeouts, or vertex limits.
And no hassles either. Just browse, select the mesh and click go. In a few sconds it's in, textured and ready to use.

There is a previewer to check what it will look like. It brings in all PBR materials in a GLTF and textures in a DAE.

Click this Gyazo link to see it in use.
