Puttering with cars again because it pushes my PBR skills in new directions. Today I finally had a breakthrough with PBR glass that looks much closer to the real thing. That's transparent glass in the photos with real reflections achieved by modifying a silver PBR texture I had.

SL, and by extension Opensim, did not implement the full PBR spectrum of textures, leaving out about 5 or 6 types. One of those not included was Transmission, which communicates to the graphics engine the details of the glass surfaces. So I basically have been wracking my brain on and off trying to come as close as I can to the real thing. Today was a good day.

Leo's Custom Tech N9ne "Ronald" Costume

So, I pretty much rode the "Watch the World Burn" train until i got somewhat burned out on that song. Made the t-shirt. Memorized the lyrics. Ronald has been my new song to digest and unpack...and it sure got me doing a lot of thinking. Song meanings, multiple meanings, etc. Decided to make a "close enough" version of Tech N9ne's costume from the music video. I guess what hits hardest is the senseless violence, shooting sprees, murders, especially in the USA, but all over the world, really. Some of us did not have a perfect childhood. Some are still struggling with issues of anger, depression, poverty, loss of loved ones, and more. I guess I am appalled at how many people are quick to judge each other if opinions vary. Metal music and hip-hop are criticized heavily, especially on Opensim, by older generations that don't understand it. Please understand THIS: I personally find singing or screaming along to songs like this, to be a much healthier outlet than punching holes in the walls of my house, self harm, harming others, and other things. It is one thing to say "this type of music is not my style". It is another thing to say certain music or entire genres are wrong, talentless, etc. To each their own. I am including the lyrics to the song in case anyone wants to think deeper and maybe understand some new things. Be kind to each other, OpenSim.

Once upon a time, everything was alright
I used to feel safe, not a worry in sight
Then I grew up, quickly realized
The world is a fucked up place sometimes
Death is at your door
Reachin' in from the other side
It's time to cut the cord
Hangin' on like a parasite, go (ah)
Hangin' on like a parasite
Hangin' on like a parasite
Don't hesitate, you're hangin' on for your life
Don't hesitate, you're reachin' out from the light
Walkin' on a razor's edge
My blood runs black, I'm not your friend, uh, fuck
Pull from the depths of the 36 Chambers, ah
Ah, pull the trigger, give a bullet to a stranger, nice
Ah, pull from the depths of the 36 Chambers (haha-haha-ha)
Pull the trigger, give a bullet to a stranger
I don't wanna die (die), but I'm not gonna live
In a place so cold, in a world like this (this)
Crucify me (me), it's blasphemy ('my)
Throw me in the fire, let me burn for eternity (go, go, go, go)
Burn for eternity ('y, 'y, 'y), eternity
I'll never be the one that will ever back down
Never turn around and run, never, never, never back down
Deep into the trench of a place unknown
Lies a dead man clutched to the bottom of a throne
At the bottom of a hole that nobody wants to go
It's the devil that you know that's gotta hold up on your wicked soul (damn)
What is up in your mind? Are you thinkin' the devil is makin' the crime?
Or the people are evil and never no demon design? Or the opposite of a divine? No
Yes, the hell is in front of you, side and behind, I can feel every sign of a human decline
I'm believin' the time is upon us when all of our people are blind (yo)
Red rain, saw it fallin' from a tower's dead plane
Head banged Mandalay Bay hotel, lotta lead came
Sex change could get you caught up in death range
He pled sane but really imitatin' Ed Gein
How do we get this way? Negative shit to say when you get dismay
Havin' a fit today so you wanna make a bitch decay
My son's mom went gone, it was really wrong
I thought I was gonna vomit searchin' for my son, but I didn't go John Muhammad
So the devil's right here on this level, wipe tears
That's 'cause when rebels ready to pop the heavy metal, why fear? (Yeah)
Abomination, they been fakin', consecration hatin', western education
Got that killer on a kid, I gotta chase 'em, go
Go
Spiralin' out of control and deeper down the rabbit hole, ay
Never gonna let them get the most of what they'll have to resurrect
You're sick to death, better take me down
I don't give a fuck, this disgrace to God (no), yeah (ah)
Never gonna let them get the most of what they'll have to resurrect
I don't give a fuck, this disgrace to God
