We're testing PBR textures, and the results are stunning! This ring, originally created in Second Life, showcases Opensim's full PBR support, bringing every detail to life. Interestingly, when I upload my jewelry to Second Life, the scale appears much larger, but in Opensim, it matches the exact size I designed. This ring was one of my first creations and earned me an Avi Choice nomination for Best New Jewelry Store in SL! I had to nano that ring though because of the huge scale and would not reduce down to the SL Avatar. In opensim it has worked beautifully thanks to @FerdFrederix~ PBR is in its earliest stages but I am loving the results so far. This will be in the store soon. 💍💗 This image is inworld with Sunrise lighting. Lighting affects the color of the metal if the sky is red orange sunset the gold will be red, Fred pointed this out to me yesterday, so a bright mid day you will see the brightest results. I have fun playing with the sky to see what the metal will look like each sky it looks different. Fred's ring compared to mine though that he textured is beyond beautiful, he made the diamond glossy, and translucent and it is just beautiful, so gemstones can be transparent with a tint of color, so many options and we are having fun! All this is coming soon...

I'm expecting you this evening.

just in case people dont know what formal is.. its Tuxes for the men and Gowns for the ladies.. if you come not dressed in Formal to the Ballroom you will be to told its a formal venue.. 2nd time I have to tell you you will be ejected third time Banned. The Only Club that has a dress code is the Ballroom, and its listed as a formal venue on all ads and notices. The Train Station, TG.IF and Fetish Factor do not have dress codes.

As you step into the Witchy Woods, an otherworldly hush envelops you, the air thick with the scent of damp earth and ancient pine. Gnarled branches twist overhead, their silhouettes dancing against the pale light filtering through the canopy. Shafts of sunlight pierce the gloom, illuminating patches of vibrant moss and clusters of mushrooms that seem to glow with an ethereal light.

The path winds deeper into the heart of the woods, where shadows play tricks on your senses. You catch fleeting glimpses of movement—a flicker of a tail, a flash of feathers—as woodland creatures slip between the trees, their presence both comforting and eerie. The sound of a distant brook murmurs like a secret, drawing you further into the labyrinth of nature.

Every step reveals more of the woods’ haunting beauty. Delicate webs glisten with dew, suspended like jewels between the branches, while the soft rustle of leaves carries whispers of forgotten tales. Twisted roots snake across the forest floor, inviting you to pause and consider the stories they hold, as if the very ground is alive with memories.

A sense of magic hangs in the air, tangible and electric, making the hairs on your arms stand on end. The woods feel like a realm where time bends, a place where the mundane slips away and the mysterious reigns. You can almost hear the soft strains of an unseen melody, a lullaby sung by the woods themselves, beckoning you to lose yourself in their enchanting embrace. As twilight deepens, the shadows stretch and flicker, transforming the landscape into a dreamscape, where every rustle and sigh feels like a promise—of secrets waiting to be uncovered, of wonders yet to be revealed.

The Lotus Club is now available at the Emporium! Modeled after the original club at Luxor, this one comes fully loaded with accessories and can be modified and copied. The base size is 160m x 110m. Click on the Egyptian sign in the lobby to get to the display area.

How many "NEW" signs can you spot? I have added many new things to the shop and you will find them all by looking for the red, glowing "NEW" signs from one end of the shop to the other. Have fun "Easter egg" hunting!

Good Day, Friends!

I’m often asked, “What happens to the art when it’s taken down to make room for a new exhibition?” My response has always been that select works from each artist are preserved and moved to another gallery space, becoming part of a permanent exhibition that contributes to OpenSim’s evolving history. Up until now, that was only a vision—a future project in my mind.

I’m thrilled to announce that vision has finally come to life with The Archive Collection. While the name may be straightforward, it leaves no mystery about the treasures inside! 😊

I’ve included some photos—one of them shows me standing in front of the building, to give you a sense of its scale. To enhance your visit, I’ve also added a grand piano I uploaded and added a variety of scripted music that you can play by touching the keys while enjoying the art. There’s even a version of the piano with animation options available at my shop.

As we approach September, those of you with art ready for display are welcome to bring it by the gallery anytime. If you’re not already in the group, please let me know so I can add you to the correct role so you can rez.

I’m incredibly excited about this exhibition and, from what I’ve seen so far, it promises to be a feast for all our senses! Looking forward to seeing you soon!

The Grande Phoenix is a reimagined and refined update of an original Moroccan-style build I created for the town of Devil's Fork in the Land of Xzar. I was never fully satisfied with the original, so I recently undertook a complete remodel and am now excited to share it with anyone who’d like to make it their own.

Designed as a charming boutique hotel, the Grande Phoenix features a welcoming lobby with a side bathroom. The lounge is a cozy retreat with a warm fireplace, a stylish bar, and a dance floor for social gatherings. The custom-built kitchen, crafted with full perm capabilities, is ready for anyone who wishes to add their own animations.

Upstairs, you’ll find three beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. The building comes partially furnished, showcasing custom artwork I created, while leaving plenty of room for you to personalize and decorate to suit your style.

The Grande Phoenix is a versatile addition to any town or region, but of course, it’s yours to use however you wish. With full permissions, it’s designed for flexibility and creativity. I hope it brings you as much enjoyment as I’ve had in crafting it.

Which camp will you join? #LEAVEITONTHEPLAYA


SUNDAY BRUNCH ON THE PLAYA @ PARADISE LOST!

11 AM pm grid time

BRUNCH ON THE PLAYA WITH DJ ILLUSIONS!

The magnificent DJ Illusions bids you to bring your mimosas and other mysterious imbibements and come enjoy the desert, camps, and his original music! Be transported to another dimension through truly interstellar musical adventure! You will have a true Tomorrowland experience with this talented and spectacular artist!

Your landing point will be in front of the Playa gate. For the full effect, set your environment on midnight, walk through the gate, and follow the arrows on the ground. You will walk through the camps, with the full view of the stage emerging. Massive and larger than life, plan on using your camera control to get a close view of the performers, should you desire.

These trees were made with AI textures I downloaded from the Internet for free. The textures are beautiful and I applied them to either flexi prims or a 1 prim plant sculpt. They would probably look best in a fantasy setting as they need full bright on for most lighting settings. If you only use the Default sky settings or similar lighting, they look fine with the bright unchecked. There are 22 different trees. Currently, they are located in front of the pyramids.
Rather than having a dedicated area for landscaping items, I have scattered trees, flowers, bushes, etc. all over the region in multiples as I have decided against using any other landscaping. So if you are walking about and see a tree or flower you like, simply click on it to buy for $0. Unless it has a box, everything in the region has the item inside of it so click and buy. :)
I hope everyone has a lovely and restful Sunday.

I just finished this build and while it was intended to be a sort of a temple it ended up being something that can be used for anything. It could be an archive, a library, a temple, a synagogue, a church, a shop, a warehouse, the possibilities are endless. It's just across the river from Ezra's Antiques and Collectibles, it's free and full perm and waiting for you. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

I got so excited about the solid color spider mums that I couldn't resist and created tipped spider mums and they turned out quite nice I think. There are 4 different colors, red, lilac, pink and gold and they are full perm and free at the Create a Scene Garden Center here at the mall. They're right in front of the greenhouse. Stop in and get yours because they will beautify any landscape and grab a box of gladiolus while you're there then shop around but bring a really big shopping bag! Blessings and much love, Lavia

Cannabis Information Center, an oasis of knowledge and natural beauty nestled in a serene outdoor setting.
