My passion is building large architectural structures and regions for commercial, spiritual, and entertainment purposes, and doing them with highly detailed surfaces and textures. While I am not primarily in the business of making smaller items, in the process of making a venue I inevitably end up adding furniture, lighting, and accessories that match the style. A lot of these I make myself, but some, like this beautiful Art Deco Lamp, which will be part of my new OSFest build, I source from 3D modeling sites.

The first photo is of an original lamp from the 1920s, currently available on Etsy for about $300 usd. The second is the 3D model by Katmit developed for 3D printers. I purchased it on Renderhub for $12 and it came with an Extended Use license. After a lot of work with faces and UV maps I was finally able to get Firestorm to let my version upload, which is the last pic. I was meh about the plain globe, so I replaced that with something more interesting and added my light script. This little project took a lot more time and effort than I planned for, but I'll spend many happy moments sitting at the bar just looking at this lovely piece of art that began life a hundred years ago.

You will be able to see my full Art Deco venue at OSFest this September on the sponsor region.

Liebe Besucher des Mainstores

Aufgrund das einige Besucher den ganzen Mainstore als Freeware mitnehmen und diese Ware dann nicht als Privat genutzt werden, werden ab sofort ALLE NEUEN Kleidungstücke nur noch in unserer SOUL GRID WÄHRUNG angeboten. Besucher haben jedoch auch die möglichkeit an einem unserer LUCKY CHAIRS kostenlos NEUE Ware zu erhalten.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear visitors of the main store

Due to the fact that some visitors take the entire main store with them as freeware and then do not use this product privately, ALL NEW items of clothing are now only offered in our SOUL GRID CURRENCY. However, visitors also have the opportunity to receive NEW goods free of charge on one of our LUCKY CHAIRS.

MY FRIENDS LIST DOESN'T WORK HALF THE TIME.... The reason is very simple. Look at your calling cards, sort inventory by name in the selection field. Many people may find multiple contacts for the same person. Delete the duplicates. I had as many as 40 calling cards for 1 person. Many other cards were duplicated many times as well. Once I removed all the duplicates (by hand), the friends list started working much much better. In all I removed over 5000 duplicates from my friends list. Check it out, it might be you have the same problem. Also check the sub folders too.

these children everyone knows I did it I'm at a construction site in Astralia I wrote it only for personal use no resale everyone knows it and everyone respects the rules instead this grid newlife italy doesn't care about the rules and respect for the work of others .. too much comfortable so they take everything and put it on sale to attract people .. but the others know it anyway you make a bad impression ... you came here .... learn to do it yourself and remove my things

So ganz verstehe ich diese Welt nicht mehr? Es wird sich einerseits darüber aufgergegt wenn etwas kopiert wird , dann aber wiederum von den selben Leuten kopiert und auch wiederum in dehnen ihren Shops ausgestellt. Man soll doch froh sein wenn es andere gibt die ihre Sachen frei zur Verfügung stellen die hier sonst niemand bekommt. Hochachtung vor diesen leuten die alle möglich machen um uns ihre Artikel Kostenlos zur Verfügung stellen ! Warum immer nur Neid und Hass? ich kopier mir auch Sachen und jeder der zu mir kommt kann auch diese kopieren. Das ist doch fair oder? Ich selber bin am Aufbau von Häuser, die ich selber hier baue ,und troztdem werden sie für alle kopier sein. Es wird sich über SL aufgeregt , nur wenn wir alle so weitermachen sind wir doch nicht besser oder? Sperrt eure Sim nicht zu..macht keine Gruppen auf privat..sowas ist einfach nur unfair.Wir sind alle open in Sim..für einander da..das wichtigste was es gibt.Gebt dem Kommerz keine Chance .-) gebt doch jedem eine chance das zu sein was er möchte ohne Gruppe ohne Mitgliedschaft , sondern nur das was er einfach toll findet, und freut euch doch darüber das es Menschen gibt die eure Artikel haben wollen.-)) Ist das denn nicht das schönste.-))) LG.-))☻

Próximamente abriremos también el terreno dedicado a las compras, y el terreno dedicado a los juegos.

Hier ist ein italienisches Raster, in dem Sie spielen, tanzen, singen, Musik machen und mit dem gesamten italienischen, aber auch internationalen Metaversum interagieren können. Denken Sie daran, dass es für ALLE offen ist.
Bald werden wir auch das dem Einkaufen gewidmete Land und das dem Spielen gewidmete Land eröffnen.

This Post Sponsored by the Letter D & the Number 171.

How many Adachi's are there? Well, right now I'm in the Adachi Tertius region. Adachi Tertius is a fancy-pants way of saying "Adachi 3." But this post is not sponsored by the letter A or the number 3.

No, this post is sponsored by the letter "D," as in the Doux Hair Shop, and the number 171. If you count all of the vendors from the DOUX - Adrienne Hairstyle to the DOUX - Zoe Hairstyle, you will get the number 171.

171 Doux hairstyles! Many with style change HUDs. All with color change HUDs. The Adachi Tertius Doux Hair Shop: where the hair is High Quality and Easily Accessible. Magnifico!

I currently have regions on four grids, three of which are part of the NGC (Next Generation Core) group of grids (8-10 grids at last count), who together are developing their own improved fork of Opensim. All three have great owners who can be easily reached through dedicated grid channels on Discord, and all have been tremendously supportive of my work.

Of those three, Wolf Territories Grid has become my main location (the other two are Mobius Grid and Utopia Skye Grid). All NGC grid owners are deeply committed to making their grid the best possible for their users. That is especially true for Lone Wolf at Wolf Territories when it comes to speed, security, stability, and the organization of servers and architecture.

For example, look at the console pictured here. By logging in to the website, multiple options are available to me: Restart the region, Update the map of the region, Download the most current OAR, Backup the region to create a new OAR that I can then download, or flatten the region terrain. By clicking Edit, additional options open up: I can change the region name, change the region currency from Gloebits to the local currency, or change the region physics from Ubode to Bulletsim.

And all those things we hope will work on a grid do here: Group notifications, Offline messages sent to email, a working Destination Guide, region crossings, and local currency transaction history, among others. I for one am deeply appreciative.

Does anyone like Lorrie Morgan? an American Country music singer I have my stream up with an album from her titled, Watch Me it's country music ... I'm streaming an album from her titled, "Watch Me" ... Listen at>> http://142.44.178.114:7778

UPDATE: FOUND A BACKUP

So silly me screwed up the region and accidently placed another oar in its place. i am hoping there is a backup somewhere. so for now i have put the base oar of this down for now.

Thank you Juno Rowland sister of Jupiter for coming by and giving me suggestions on my newly created content. I had several mistakes that needed to be corrected and the help she gave was immeasurable. Even though I try to catch the mistakes and I double triple-check, I still find them so thank you very much for checking me. Some of my content is Copy only because the texture I used the TOS states it cannot be set to mod/trans. While I do create many of the textures myself, some I have purchased too, so those textures I have to honor the TOS. I added the Classic Closet to the Monentes store too so there are now two locations. I plan on adding more content as I can, while my content is not ripped and maybe not the fanciest stuff, it is different content you will not see rubber stamped all over the HG. I put in the store when I had a need for Classic Clothing and since I offered it in the past I thought why the hell not? To those who like what I create thank you, to those who find fault in it you probably always will cause I am just an ordinary creator that makes a ton of mistakes! The new Classic Closet is now at the Monentes Jewelry store too~

Just a reminder that Virtual Beach is in start smart. if you click a region on the teleport board or via map, give it time to load and transport you before clicking again or another region. once you click, it will tell you the seconds to load and then will say teleporting you.

My first feeble attempt at making a bed. I need to find the sleep pose ball for it and it'll be ready to go. Hopefully I'll learn to do more and nicer things. This will be available at our mall region in the furniture portion. Good thing it's free because I doubt anybody would pay for it LOL. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

SUGGESTIONS FOR the next MONDAY NIGHT MOVIE - Mar. 20th, 2023 5-7pm

Hello Hella,

We are so happy to have you join our community of artists at the Art Factory. Your images are hauntingly beautiful. What is the inspiration for your art?

“About my inspiration it's about the feeling in a present situation, always in the NOW, we can call this "états d'âmes" in French, "states of mind" in English ? “

Your art is a visual representation of current feelings and moods? That is so interesting. Do you have other galleries or exhibits in OpenSim or in Second Life?

“For my art in physical life, it's another route that I don't mix with virtual worlds.
For the photos, which relate only to life in SL and Opensim, I only exhibit on Flickr and in Opensim. Many captures, come from the world of SL and since 6 months, taken in Opensim.”

I have followed your Flickr for a long time now and look forward to seeing your posts. Hella, what do you enjoy about your art inworld?

“Art changes my frequency and makes my life a dream. In the virtual world as in life, practicing an art is a pure expression of oneself and it feels good to do good :)”

Ernest and I are overjoyed to have you join the Art Factory community. Would you tell our readers how you got involved in the project?

“Art Factory is the first place I visited that challenged me, I took some pictures from elsewhere that I put on Flickr, months ago. The Thirza Safari Tour allowed me to rediscover the Art Factory region and to meet Ellen and Ernest "in person", I had had some contact with Ellen on Opensimworld, I was happy to meet Ellen and Ernest :)”

Thank you for taking the time for this interview, Hella. And welcome to the Art Factory community!

Visited Tropicana Bird's Nest, it's well done.
Then I met this guy. But he said he isn't Wolfman Jack. I don't belive him. I'm sure... he is!

According to our Observatory experts, many visitors crash when trying to teleport to Novale. This would seem to be related to a known bug, a conflict between Firestorm viewer and Vivox.
Good news, there is a way to go around it : prior to teleport to Novale, go to your preferences/Sound&Media/Voice and diseable Voice.
Try it and let us know if it works for you !
