Here's my first texture "painting" test using blender. I made a module that creates a texture for any region on the grid
Region (Hwyl Emoticon) # terrain skin generate 3b639da6-b435-4711-a757-a23c3b928c1d
Then you can export as DAE and import into blender and use the texture tools to apply images/paint on it/.etc then export as glTF or whatever, put it on your region
I don't have it automated for users yet but if you want a mesh of your Holoneon Grid terrain to experiment on let me know it takes seconds to create.

Miss Munk will be spinning her wheels of steel at 1 pm grid time, at The Piazza!
Bring your headphones and get on down here and listen to nonstop beat matching and full spectrum sound!



Plug the link into your map and we'll see you there.

****DRAMA PETS MESH STATUE REVAMP *****

## Breaking: The New OpenSim Monument Unveiled—The "Drama Pets" Mesh Statue!---
( special thx from Xenon Darrow and her skills on meshy.ai)

Ah, OpenSim. A land of boundless creativity, elegant scripting, and absolutely *zero* unnecessary conflict. Ha! Just kidding. We all know that this multiverse thrives on the sweet, caffeinated nectar of pure, unfiltered tea.
To honor this rich cultural heritage, a brand-new, ultra-low-prim monument has officially hit the marketplace: **The "Drama Pets" Mesh Statue**.

Ps. It’s not just decor; it’s a lifestyle choice for your sim’s landing point.”* — Anonymous user

### Why Every Sim Needs One

If you want to spice up your community center or give your visitors a daily giggle, here is why you need to drop this statue onto your sim right now:

* **Automatic Icebreaker:** Put it near your welcome kiosk. Newbies will instantly know they’ve arrived in a community with *character*.
* **Passive-Aggressive Gifting:** Need to send a subtle hint to that neighbor who’s been staging a turf war over parcel borders? Wrap it in a no-transfer box and send it anonymously.

🚀 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.
OPENSim Network — Where virtual worlds become interactive experiences.
