Hi everyone and Happy New Year!

In the spirit of new beginnings, today I did a small renovation at Encantada.
Things were getting crowded in the spring/summer area and well, I've started work on some "Fantasy" items. I didn't have a good spot for them so I've made a new area for "Enchanted" items.
I've moved just a few things over there already and will have a new release in the next couple of days.
I'll be keeping Halloween in the fall area and Easter in the spring area for now.

Hope you have a great start to 2022 :)

'Stella Polaris' opened in 2020 in Kroatan, but as you can see, she is now beautifying Offworld.
The bubbles above the rocks contain images and landmarks to other beautiful regions in Offworld.

Die Seifenblasen über den Felsen enthalten Bilder und Landmarken zu anderen schönen Regionen in Offworld.

When I was building my home sims, I discovered I needed rocks and well, I couldn't find what I wanted. Hence, I made rocks and a sky island, I also made some for the beach with flat tops for sunbathing. You never know where you will want to sunbathe.

Well, I made the male goldfinch and afterwards I felt like I really should have done the female as well. So, I did. My apologies to anyone that took the box yesterday, I added the females to the same box. I just felt like he looked lonely.

Well, I released a novelty item today. Every once in a while (well, maybe more often than that) I get obsessed with something goofy. I always thought stick men were cute, don't know why, I just do. So, I made animesh and avatar stick people. There are regular ruth size and also tiny versions. I put them on the second floor of the shop building right in front of the elevator. They are dancing in the landing zone purely for my entertainment :).

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 continuing our feature - Meet the Artist. This week, we interviewed Antonia Ling, owner of Antonia Ling Gallery, Inspired By Gallery, Metropolis Poster Shop, and a 2001 themed gallery.

Antonia, tell us about yourself and your art.
“It's not easy to talk about myself. What have I to say about my person? Not much... really. I like photography and I like to photograph. I love to photograph old churches when I'm in Denmark. Or ships in the harbor... often details. Not the big ones, I prefer little old boats of the local fishermen. I like to photograph old cars and colorful flowers. I love art from the 1920s to today, I love a lot of the german BAUHAUS and their Master like Kandinsky, Alberts or Lazlo Moholy-Nagy.”

What are you doing currently?
“I try to photograph a bit. At the moment I deal with cyanotype. It fascinates me...”

What is your inspiration for art in world?
“I do what I do because I like to do it. When one in a million likes it... I'm happy.”

Thank you so much for your interview, Ms. Ling. We love your ongoing contributions to The Factory.

It's really not that hard to be ranked #4 on OpenSim when you plant 8 avatars in your region and just keep them there. I really think that is being very deceitful and skewing the OpenSim numbers to raise yourself in the rank. Regions that have been found to have avatars that are just put there 24/7 should have the region deleted and it should not be allowed. Not only is this grid owner stealing people's regions but now they are lying about who is actually occupying their region to raise themselves in the ranks. Awful!

Come for the freebies. Stay for the sites! Take your time exploring this beautiful sim, filled with picturesque views, large forests, rivers, lakes, waterfalls, and beaches. Don't forget to visit Santa along the way.

JAPANESE MAPLE TREES PACK with animated leaves ** FREE and FULL PERM ** Available at BOX 02 at FOREST AREA (ground). Many options of trees sizes and seasonal textures (spring, summer, 8 kinds of autumn and 2 for winter). Also included leaf particles rezer for this time of year. Enjoy :)

SIX KINDS of sculpted wild grasses and weeds for ur place! ALL FREE and FULLPERM at GARDEN AREA BOX 01 with seasonal textures (and this time I put the standart size and also the reduced 128x128 pixels one that helps reduce graphic lag when many are rezed).

I had the pleasure of attending one of Gertie's sets. What I loved the most about her was her upbeat and exuberant personality. I wanted to create something to remember her by. This charm bracelet has a music note with her name. Free-Full Perms

A statement:

This is a world for avatars. If you put your avatar face in the profile, instead of the standard default picture, you get much more reactions and attention for your posts here in the forum. A standard profile picture does not specifically encourage you to open an account and take a closer look. If a profile is not maintained, the contributions and grid are usually the same. It takes effort, patience and perseverance to get people on his grid. Action = reaction. This is never quick! ;-)

***

Eine Feststellung:

Das hier ist eine Welt für Avatare. Wenn Du Dein Avatar Gesicht ins Profil gibst, an Stelle des Standardes Vorgabe Bildes, bekommst Du wesentlich mehr Reaktionen und Aufmerksamkeit für Deine Posts hier im Forum. Ein Standard Profil Bild animiert nicht speziell einen Account zu öffnen und näher anzusehen. Wenn ein Profil nicht gepflegt wird, sind meistens auch die Beiträge und Grid so. Um Leute auf sein Grid zu bringen, braucht es Anstrengung, Geduld und Ausdauer. Aktion = Reaktion. Das geht nie auf die schnelle! ;-)

Thousands of Free Resources for OpenSim at Outworldz

Building an OpenSim world often starts with an idea — and then comes the hunt for everything needed to bring that idea to life.

Outworldz has maintained a huge collection of free creator resources for years, growing into an extraordinary archive for the OpenSim community.

The Outworldz Free Sculpts and Mesh Library contains more than 1,800 downloadable resources, ranging from complete environments to small building components.

More Than Just Mesh

Despite the original name of the collection, this isn't simply an archive of sculpt maps.

You'll find Collada DAE meshes, OBJ files, sculpt maps, textures, BVH animations, sounds, XML files, IAR inventories and complete OAR regions. Many ZIP archives also contain textures and supporting files for the included objects.

That makes the collection useful for region designers, builders, mesh creators and anyone interested in learning more about creating content for OpenSim.

A Huge Archive to Explore

The variety is enormous.

The collection includes houses, furniture, plants, rocks, terrain resources, medieval props, roads, animations, avatars, trees, environmental packs, building textures and creator resources.

You'll also find resources for creators working outside the viewer, including Blender materials, seamless textures, mesh resources and templates.

Some of these resources have been downloaded thousands of times, making this archive part of a long history of creators sharing their work with the OpenSim community.

OARs and IARs

OpenSim users should take particular notice of the OAR and IAR resources.

OAR files can contain complete archived regions, while IAR files can contain inventory content ready for use with OpenSimulator. Outworldz provides search options that make it easier to locate these resources within the collection.

For DreamGrid users, this opens up another world of possibilities. Resources can be useful for experimenting, learning, creating new regions or simply discovering what other OpenSim creators have shared over the years.

Free Still Means Respect the Creator

There is one important thing to remember:

Free does not mean license-free.

These resources have been contributed by many different creators over many years. Always check the credits and licensing information included with an individual download before modifying, sharing or redistributing it.

Outworldz has received free content from more than 600 contributors, and respecting those creators and their individual licenses is part of keeping a free-resource community healthy.

Some resources may have extremely permissive licenses. Others may require attribution or carry additional restrictions.

Always check the individual resource rather than assuming everything in the archive has identical permissions.

Creators Can Contribute Too

Outworldz isn't simply a place to download resources.

Creators can also contribute their own projects to the collection. Submissions can include appropriate creator credits and licensing information so future users know exactly how the resource may be used.

That's one of the things that has kept OpenSim interesting for so many years: people building, experimenting, learning and choosing to share some of what they create with others.

Start Exploring

With more than 1,800 resources, you probably won't make it through the entire archive over morning coffee.

Fortunately, it's searchable.

Whether you're hunting for an OAR, animations, terrain textures, mesh resources, building components or simply some inspiration for your next region, take a look through the Outworldz archive.

You might find exactly what your next world needs.

Au cœur du Sylvara Basin s'élève la Forest Dragon Tower, cœur vivant d'une
légende encore active. Quatre tours abritent les fragments du cœur du dragon
Sylvarath ; huit tourelles, huit horloges désynchronisées maintiennent
l'équilibre du monde. Très rarement, elles s'accordent : c'est l'Harmonique
Draconique. Venez écouter le temps.

At the heart of the Sylvara Basin stands the Forest Dragon Tower, the living core of a legend still unfolding. Four towers hold the fragments of Sylvarath the dragon's heart; eight turrets, eight unsynchronised clocks keep the world in balance. Rarely, they align: this is the Draconic Harmonic. Come and listen to time.

Halloween with Fred: The Zombie That Just Won’t Stay Dead

Halloween is creeping closer, which means it is time to dig through the wonderfully strange corners of Outworldz and resurrect a few old friends.

And this one is very difficult to keep dead.

Meet Fred’s Animated Zombie.

This isn't the sort of zombie that stands in the corner of your Halloween build looking menacing while everyone ignores it.

Fred apparently looked at that idea and decided zombies needed a better job description.

This zombie walks.
It attacks.
It makes noise.
You can hit it.
It falls apart.
It puts itself back together.

And, naturally...

YOU CAN RIDE IT.

Because why run away from the zombie when you can climb aboard and drive the thing around?

A Zombie With a Few Tricks Left in Him

Fred designed the zombie as an animated wandering character using his Prim Animation Compiler system.

The animation sequence includes standing, attacking, walking with alternating left and right steps, reacting to hits, taking a particularly nasty hit, and finally falling completely to pieces.

But death is apparently only a temporary inconvenience.

After enough abuse, the zombie collapses into scattered pieces on the ground.

Wait a bit...

...and he puts himself back together.

Then off he goes again.

There is something wonderfully Fred about engineering an undead creature that even death can't persuade to stop working.

Go Ahead. Hit Him.

The zombie actually keeps score as people interact with him.

Clicking him causes a hit reaction and eventually does enough damage to trigger the full death animation.

Head, arms, body — down he goes.

Then the zombie reassembles himself and resumes wandering around.

It makes a great interactive Halloween prop because visitors aren't simply looking at something spooky. They're causing things to happen.

And probably clicking him repeatedly just to see him explode again.

We know how people are.

But Wait — There's a Ride Me Button

This may be my favorite part.

Right-click the zombie and choose RIDE ME.

Your avatar climbs aboard, and suddenly the shambling Halloween decoration has become transportation.

Fred's script turns the zombie into a controllable vehicle, allowing you to steer him with your arrow keys.

So while everyone else is arriving at the Halloween party on broomsticks, motorcycles and dragons, you can make your entrance...

piggybacking on a zombie.

I think that wins Halloween.

When You Get Off, It Gets Even Better

Getting off your undead transportation doesn't simply end the ride.

The zombie falls apart.

Then he reassembles himself.

Then he walks back home.

Because apparently Fred even taught the zombie to clean up after the party.

The Engineering Behind the Silly

That's what I particularly enjoy about discoveries like this in the Outworldz archives.

They're funny, but underneath the humor is some genuinely clever scripting.

The zombie combines prim animation, sounds, physics, vehicle controls, randomized movement, interaction, damage scoring, roaming boundaries and a home position into one wonderfully ridiculous project.

Fred didn't just explain how to use it, either. His original tutorial documents how the animations are recorded, how the physics base is constructed, how the sounds are added, how the riding position is created and how the scripts work together.

It's one of those projects where you can play with the finished creation — or dig into the code and learn something from the way it was made.

That has always been part of the fun of Outworldz.

Build something.

Take it apart.

Learn how it works.

Change it.

And occasionally ride it around while it makes monster noises.

Resurrect Something This Halloween

There are years and years of creations tucked away at Outworldz, and Halloween seems like an excellent excuse to start opening some of those old crypts.

Fred's zombie certainly deserves another walk among the living.

Just remember one important rule:

If you manage to kill him...

don't celebrate too quickly.

He's getting back up. https://outworldz.com/Secondlife/posts/zombie/

To be or not to be? - Ask the oracle

A mysterious new place awaits you on Fleetwood Beach. At its center sits The Oracle – a mystical Buddha who does not simply watch over everything in silence, but actually speaks with visitors.

Approach the Oracle and begin your personal audience with a click. For ten minutes, you can ask questions, share your thoughts, or simply engage in an unusual conversation. The Oracle responds calmly, with dignity, and with a slightly mystical tone.

As the audience begins, the atmosphere changes: a mystical sound starts to play, a cosmic veil appears, and golden-blue energy effects accompany the beginning of the conversation.

After ten minutes, the audience ends automatically, the effects disappear, and the Oracle is ready for the next visitor.

Important: Only one person can speak with the Oracle at a time, and only that person can read the Oracle’s answers. You can easily reach the Oracle via the teleport pads.

Visit Fleetwood Beach and discover what answers the Oracle may have waiting for you!

I’m delighted to share that I have given Fred Beckhusen exclusive distribution rights to my newest region, Tumbletwig, created especially for the DreamGrid community.

Tumbletwig is a tiny enchanted world of Frog Fairies, magical treehouses, winding woodland paths, ponds, gardens, hidden little inhabitants, and plenty of surprises to discover.

Fred will be making the Tumbletwig Exclusive OAR available in the next few days through Outworldz for DreamGrid owners.

A heartfelt thank you to Fred for giving me a platform where I can continue creating and sharing these lovely little worlds. Having the tools and freedom to turn an idea into an entire place—and then share that place with others—is something I truly appreciate.

I hope Tumbletwig brings a little magic, a few smiles, and perhaps a new appreciation for frogs to many DreamGrids.

Welcome to Tumbletwig — Frog Fairy Paradise.
Where the frogs have wings and the forest is much bigger than you think. 🐸

Just wanted to show you our welcome centre rendered in a web browser, no downloads.

View from the balcony of Oasis. In world, undoctored picture. I combined the Blue Moon EEP sky by Jimmy Olsen with the ZZstarz EEP sky by Peter from Zweet Zurroundingz, made the surround and the desert village myself by designing them from scratch then letting Meshy have it's way with my design and this is the result. What better place to sip my morning coffee :)

this has been a very long and exhausting 2-3 months of my life. Between facing the death of loved ones, my own health and working on a new system and HUD i haven't really been here too often. I just got out of the hospital 1 a week ago.

Im hoping to return to working on Demon Island that the Tribulations system next weeks between the doctor appts. I hope you have all had a good couple of months and I hope to go wander around OS soon to find new things to add to my builds.
