OPENSIM Online Weather SYSTEM RECALL - FOR THOSE who came to FLORA since I have first posted about this product:

I have just fixed (final tweaks I hope) on the Lightning add-on (the Thunderbox). There are 4 boxes, invisbile, that I forgot to resize it to the mininum possible (0.0001m) so they won`t show up when the thunder sound and lightning are triggered.
Sorry for the inconvenience. Once again... one should never release a new product at 3.am lolol

Hey guys, I cleaned up my inventory and packed all the drug items into boxes and put them on display at Needful Things. They're waiting for you in the back room of the coffee shop. These are just decorative items, the stuff doesn't really pack a punch. There are also things at the front of the coffee shop that will definitely make your avatar stagger... Have fun with them!
* * * * *
Hallo Leute, ich habe mal mein Inventar aufgeräumt und sämtliche Drogenartikel in Boxen gepackt und auf Needful Things ausgestellt. Sie warten auf euch im Hinterzimmer des Coffeeshops. Es handelt sich dabei nur um Dekoware, das Zeug knallt nicht wirklich rein. Es gibt vorn im Coffeshop auch Sachen, die euren Avatar durchaus zum Wanken bringen... Viel Spaß damit!

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.

I spent the afternoon in my workshop making this handy device. You place your victim on the table, and press the green button on the table saw to start the blade turning. There's a handy work lamp attached that casts a nice shadow on the floor of the blade turning to let your victim know you mean business. It's good leverage to get information from them or to cause them to worry about what you might do to them. If you press the green button on the handle it will start the table feed operation which moves the victim toward the saw blade. As the table continues to move the victim toward the blade their internal fluids shoot up into the air. After you have finished with them you can dispose the remaining parts in the included barrel.

Come test it out and get your copy at Modern Torture shop at Stark Red Light District. Full perm.. contact if you have questions or need help.

The new Mayan Aristocrat House is available in the "Ancient Builds" department at the mall. While I'm using this same build as a shop building, the original was based on a Mayan Aristocrat's "Mayor's House". It's a simple build that is one large room, and it is full perm so you can add too it if you want a 2nd floor, and you can change the textures. The textures that are on it were made via my Magic Studio AI Art program. If you pick it up, I hope you will like it, as it will add character to any region it is used in. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

I want to thank everyone who participated in our little poll yesterday regarding adoption of PBR viewers. The tally as of today: 45% of the 29 respondents said they love it, 28% said they had tried it but had reverted back, and 14% said they had no interest in using one.

As I have shown before, the pic above shows the difference between PBR and full Blinn-Phong materials. Both are the best I was able to accomplish with each graphics engine. Both are part of all my builds now, so users can decide how they want to see them.

As many of you know, I've always been an early adopter and proponent of new viewer features, such as materials and eep, and used them in everything, regardless of how widely adopted the tech was among the user base. And as with pbr now, the primary early adopters are usually artists, designers, and creators, because we are are supported by a great group of patrons who enable us to keep doing what we love and push the limits of creation on this platform. So, if a user doesn't want to upgrade, we understand and we accommodate, but if they do, they're in for a treat :-)

Come on over to the space jam dance with the world famous DJ Hazel. clothing optional get free kudos and admiration if you wear your best space outfit. Happy Friday!

Liebe Community,
seit wenigen Stunden werde ich in Facebook massiv von einer Person attackiert – mit haltlosen Unterstellungen wie Fake-Identität, toxisches Verhalten und sogar Pädophilie. Solche Vorwürfe sind nicht nur verletzend, sondern strafbar.
Ganz ehrlich: dieser Ärger bringt mich an meine Grenzen. Nach über 15 Jahren in OpenSim frage ich mich manchmal, ob es das noch wert ist. Aber dann denke ich an all die Menschen, Projekte und an unsere gemeinsame Community – und das ist der einzige Grund, warum ich nicht einfach hinschmeiße.
Ich will hier nur klarstellen: Diese Anschuldigungen sind frei erfunden und haben keinerlei Substanz. Meine Energie gehört weiterhin Dorena_AI, der Kunst und unserer Welt – nicht dem Gift einzelner Personen.
Wer mich angreifen will, soll wissen: Ich lasse mich nicht einschüchtern. Meine Projekte wachsen weiter – trotz allem.

AH, ihr Name ist Vanessa Keune...
Dear Community,
for the past few hours I have been massively attacked on Facebook by a person – with baseless accusations such as fake identity, toxic behavior, and even pedophilia. Such allegations are not only hurtful, but also punishable by law.

To be honest: this whole situation is pushing me to my limits. After more than 15 years in OpenSim, I sometimes ask myself if it’s still worth it. But then I think of all the people, the projects, and our shared community – and that is the only reason why I don’t simply give up.

I just want to make it clear: these accusations are fabricated and have absolutely no substance. My energy continues to belong to Dorena_AI, to art, and to our world – not to the poison of a single person.

Whoever tries to attack me should know: I will not be intimidated. My projects will continue to grow – despite everything.

AH, her name is Vanessa Keune...

Like every year, Osgrid is scheduling auctions.
This isn't just an event; it's a way for the grid to fund itself. The grid operates solely through your donations.
But you can also donate one of your creations for the auction.
Have a good Friday and a good weekend.

This beautiful Mayan-style ziggurat is available for you to add to your region if you are into ancient builds, sci-fi, and/or sci-fi fantasy. The stairs are very easy to climb, the Mayan carvings are original art from my AI Art program, and it has 2 floors inside with corner steps and serpent railing. The stone block texture is travertine, a commonly used stone in ancient times, but you can retexture it however you like. It's mesh, so it is modifiable, but that is limited. You can find this little gem in the "Ancient Builds" department of our mall. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

3 PM to 5 PM grid time - Today @ Abyss Club DJ Diamondz from Downunder ! On Pangea-Grid. A different club to enjoy good music while having fun :)

About Rigged Jewelry in My Shop

Some visitors have asked about resizing or rigging jewelry to fit their avatars. Here’s how it works:

Rings: My rings are rigged for a standard female hand shape. Often they will also fit men’s avatars, but for a perfect fit I would need to rig the ring to that exact avatar’s mesh. That requires uploading their full avatar to Blender, which most people understandably don’t want to (or don’t know how to) do. Because of the time and complexity involved, I don’t offer custom rigging.

Necklaces & Other Jewelry: Rigging necklaces to avatars isn’t practical. They tend to move in unrealistic ways, “flopping” around the body. Static or unrigged versions usually look better in-world.

Why I Don’t Offer Rigging Services: Every avatar body and hand mesh is different, and keeping up with all of them would be impossible. Rigging each piece individually takes significant time and effort.

I appreciate everyone who visits and enjoys my creations. Please know that what you see in the shop is what’s available—ready to wear as-is.

As part of our overall "facelift" for the mall, I have built a new ziggurat with more of a Mayan feel and used textures I made in my AI art program. The men's and women's shops are up, though they are not completely filled yet; we're working on that. All of the homes have been moved and categorized as "Victorian", "Modern", "Log Buildings", "Farms", and "Service Buildings". Our aim with all of this is to make things easier to find and more accessible for our patrons. We do this because elegance is an attitude and shopping should be an adventure. Blessings and much love, Lavia.
