The Snowfall Expanse

Go in skates and a scarf, you can have fun in the snow, it is very big you need time to visit it, there are ski slopes in the mountains, then you can go to the Christmas market, visit the castle and the house of Santa Claus. Don't be in a hurry or don't enjoy this region, have fun, thanks to everyone it was a great job.

Pink Floyd - In the Flesh! Or is it In the Mesh? Ernest and I spent all day bringing album cover art to life today. A different spin on art, but the installations are pretty amazing to see! Come by Battersea and see for yourself!

The Art Factory is about art and artists. At The Art Factory, we display art; we appreciate art; we learn about art; and, we promote art. We have over a dozen galleries dedicated to in-world artists, where they show their innovative creations. As such, we are beginning a feature called Meet the Artist.

This week we want to introduce to you, the very talented Nice Minik.

Ms. Minik, can you tell us a bit about yourself and your art?
My interest for VL-Photography started back in InworldZ with some photos of dancing Avis.
In 2017 the "Nice Minik" on OSG was created to try out "hypergriding" and to build a photo-studio with backdrops and "flat" lighting for Avi photo sessions.A visit of Ellen and Ernest in my first little gallery changed my virtual life.
Since that day I explored the photo-features of Firestrom and tried a lot of light-effects to make my inworld-photos more interesting. It comes in handy to be a prim builder (for certain backgrounds) and I also learned to create poses in the meantime.

And what are you doing artistically now?
Nowadays I can display model-sessions and themed series at "the Art Factory". And I was able to create some issues of the Stark Magazine.

So, what's the motivation behind your work?
Some of my work just tries to show beauty. Some may be a bit provocative. But I always try to find the mood, lighting and angle to take photos, that "tell a story". And sometimes I can even achieve that goal.
One thing stayed consistently through my development as an inworld-photographer: what you see is what I saw. That means, that I never do after-works on my photos.

What do you enjoy most about creating art in virtual worlds?
Besides that, I very much like to show virtual life in a way, that makes viewers enjoy what I enjoyed or maybe get an impulse to think about certain aspects.

Thank you for the interview, Ms. Minik!

Please stop by The Art Factory Reloaded and check out Nice Minik's art! It won't disappoint!

Living with friends ...
Amazing community
wir sind mal wieder mächtig stolz auf unsere Leute. Einfach weil sie sind wie sie sind,
weil sie " living with friends" nicht nur als geklauten Slogan nehmen,
sondern dieses feeling jeden Tag leben. Dafür sind wir sehr dankbar .

Ein aufregendes Jahr liegt hinter uns.
Wir hatten Verluste.
Manche taten weh, manche weniger.
Wir hatten aber auch Gewinne
Der größte Gewinn war
Teil einer funktionierenden, lebensfrohen, lebendigen Gemeinschaft geworden zu sein.
Teil eines Grids zu sein,in dem Freundschaft nicht nur ein geklauter Werbeslogan ist.
Teil eines Grids zu sein, dass eigenständig zurecht kommt.

Dafür sind wir sehr dankbar. Unseren Bewohnern und allen, die uns dies ermöglicht haben, wie auch unseren zahlreichen Besuchern.
Möge die Zeit der bollernden Heizungen und prasselnden Kamine die Herzen der Menschen erwärmen und der Duft der Tannenbäume
all den Menschen die schlechten Gedanken vertreiben

Wir wünschen Euch allen ein besinnliches Weihnachtsfest, einen sensationell schönen Start ins neue Jahr und bleibt gesund.

Euch allen ein besinnliches und herzerwärmendes Weihnachtsfest

wünschen Euch Nasti und Rudi vom Soul Grid

*** LARCH TREE V- Larix sibirica V3 (version 3). Thx my friend Alfred (from sim WELCOME (https://opensimworld.com/hop/85057/) she gave a better model for these trees as seen at RL, so I could work on blender - once more released at FLORA, BOX 04, FOREST AREA (ground area). All FREE and FULL PERM. Seasonal textures included and leaves has a soft animation. Enjoy :)

CHERRY TREES PACK * FREE and FULL PERM available at FOREST AREA (ground) at BOX02. Animated particles are in mesh and separated prim so u can remove it when playing seasonal (textures inside). Enjoy :)

THANK YOU, MOSAIC, AND EVERYONE WHO STOOD IN THE QUEUE

The tribute to Linda Kellie is over; the park is quiet, the NPCs are still looping their reformatory musical, and I am still smiling. Thank you to the Mosaic team for coming over and for the kind words about the sim and the lighting.

At 10 grid time the park went into lockdown, rain and power blips hit both ends of the continent, Wanda glared at the crowd, and nobody left. Nearly fifty of you stood in the queue and loved it. The slots paid one in ten, the re-delivery terminal paid nothing, and Nine lost every time and kept playing. That is how you know the queue was working.

Special thanks to:

Light, for three hours of metal and neoclassical rock with finesse, and for summing up the day better than I could: “team work dude.”

Rio, for organizing everything and for being taxed a hundred pounds of dignity four separate times.

Jupiter, for two boxes of classic Linda Kellie clothing (tons of gift table goodies too) and the finest provenance statement in OpenSim history.

Kimm Starr @ TheZones and Cooper, for outfits that made the room envious and for the photography & animesh on the gift table...

Anne Robotson, for hosting The Weakest THINK and abusing everyone equally.

Thirza, for wearing a genuine Linda Kellie original and being brave about it.

Everyone who lived through the Menace in the Moat, the fashion show, the light rig, and the Chaos Cheese Factory.

The region was heavy and some of you were sardines at the low end of your frame rates; thank you for your patience, and for putting up with a scriptless event so the sim could stay stable.

What I want to bring back is the feeling of being a KID AGAIN. Thanks for playing in a world where inconvenience is the ART.

🚀 OPENSim Network Grid Introduces the Flyboard!
Take to the water and FLY!
OPENSim Network Grid is continuing our development of interactive physics-based experiences with our new Flyboard system, built specifically for OpenSim.
This isn't just a vehicle that moves up and down. The Flyboard has been developed to give the rider a much more dynamic experience over the water, with forward flight, rapid lift, controlled descent, banking left and right, turning, hovering, and even backflips.
The system features twin high-pressure water-jet effects, a water-powered motor system, and a flexible particle hose connecting the Flyboard to its water source. The board pitches during climbs and descents and banks into turns, creating a much more convincing feeling of riding a real water-powered Flyboard.
🏄 Flyboard Features
- Fast water-powered lift
- Forward and backward movement
- Aircraft-style pitched climbing
- Left and right banking
- Controlled turns
- Controlled descent
- Hovering above the water
- Backflip capability
- Twin animated water jets
- Particle hose and water-power system
- Custom OpenSim physics development
This project is part of our continuing work at OPENSim Network Grid to create more advanced games, vehicles, physics systems, missions, and interactive experiences for OpenSim residents and Hypergrid visitors.
Come fly with us at OPENSim Network Grid.

Always Evolving

Many more ideas are still hidden away in the mind of Mike Fleetwood, waiting to be brought to life.

Fleetwood Beach is therefore not a finished project, but a region that is constantly evolving. New buildings, technical gadgets, vehicles, interactive systems and unusual attractions are gradually being created and integrated into the world of Fleetwood Beach.

That is why a visit is always worthwhile. Those who return later will often discover new details, try out new features or experience areas that did not even exist during their previous visit.

Fleetwood Beach is always changing – and there is always something new to discover and try out.

I would like to warmly thank everyone who attended the vigil in memory of Azraella last night. It was a beautiful moment, and I know there will be others.
We gathered around a memorial in her honor—one that will remain in place. Everyone is welcome to visit and leave a token in her memory.

hop://grid.virtual-worlds.zone:8002/VWZ%20Welcome/122/169/...

The photo accompanying this post is not of Azraella, but of one of her virtual artists, Tiggy Roy—an artist I have been a fan of since day one. While the physical features may differ, the heartfelt message suits her perfectly.

Rest in peace, my friend.

My Suitcase - I have heard recent complaints about the system. When you travel to another grid your inventory is blocked except for 1) items you are already wearing and 2) items in "My Suitcase".

At Holoneon we decided to make it user configurable. If you want to turn off the "My Suitcase" feature and have access to your full inventory when going to an HG destination, you can issue a command in local chat. You can also check the status and re-enable My Suitcase using a command.

Here are the commands:

Commands

/19341 suitcase on
/19341 suitcase off
/19341 suitcase status
/19341 suitcase default

"default" turns it "on" (the Holoneon grid default)

NOTE: you have to set your preference _before_ teleporting to an HG destination.
