Teaching myself pbr materials. Very different process to get those materials into OS. This is the clearest comparison yet of the difference between legacy materials and pbr materials. The one on the left was the best I was able to do with regular materials using only the original diffuse, normal, and specular textures. The one on the right uses all the original textures and shows them correctly.

Well after a hiatus due to RL, I am slowly rebuilding the sim, at the moment there isn't much in the way of goodies. However, I will be working like a mofo to get items brought to the store for you. Please be patient whilst I work on the sim (I am doing this on my own).

Hopefully see you soon, drop by and say hello!

Discover the Chapel of Tranquility: Your Sanctuary Awaits

Step into the Chapel of Tranquility, the perfect addition to your town. From the moment you enter, you’ll feel an immediate sense of peace and calm, enveloped by the sacred atmosphere of this serene space.

Unlike a traditional church, which serves as a gathering place for communal worship, a chapel is designed for personal reflection or small, intimate gatherings. Here, you can worship and reflect on your own terms—no need for a pastor or priest. This space is yours to experience in solitude or with a few close companions.

The chapel features a bell tower that chimes on the hour, adding a touch of timeless grace. You can also touch the bell to hear its resonant tone at any time. The benches offer a variety of animations, with two different poses in each of the four benches.

At the altar, you’ll find scripted animations to enhance your worship experience. The Eucharist plate and goblet are also scripted, allowing you to partake in communion with the Body of Christ (wafer) and the Blood of Christ (wine). Simply add either to immerse yourself in this sacred ritual.

To further enrich your experience, a leather-bound Bible, a Hymnal, and altar candles are included. All of these items are neatly boxed and placed beside the altar for your convenience.

The Chapel itself is available in a box located outside the entrance, and arrows on the street will guide you there. While visiting, take a moment to explore the other architectural wonders in the region—all handcrafted over the years and freely available to help you build your sim.

Made for my Christian friends, I hope you will enjoy this chapel as much as I did building it. Peace, Love, and Light! ~*Star*~

Anyone here missing a chicken???

My secret test lap today on the new go-kart track in Pangea was unfortunately not accident-free..... :(

If you fancy banning me just-for-fun from one of the last places on the display board or seriously want to train for the big race for Pangeagrid's birthday in October, the track is officially open to all visitors!!!!

You can get all the info on how the track works at the GoKart Rezzer near the landing point...

Vermisst hier jemand ein Hühnchen???

Meine heimliche Proberunde heute auf der neuen GoKartBahn in Pangea verlief leider nicht unfallfrei..... :(

Wer Lust hat, mich Just-for-Fun von einem der letzten Plätze auf dem Anzeigeboard zu verbannen oder ernsthaft für das große Rennen zum Pangeagrid-Geburtstag im Oktober trainieren möchte, die Bahn ist offiziell für alle Besucher freigegeben!!!

Alle Infos wie die Bahn funktioniert erhaltet ihr am GoKart-Rezzer in der Nähe des Landepunkts...

*MAGABAGA MALL* SCI FI ALIEN FREEBIES* is now at ground area, closed to INTERSIM pyramid station. Access can be done by walking from TP station or rezzing the interphasic magabaga bubble. Also, CHEZ WATTO has new location.
Enjoy :)

The MAGABAGAS intersim maglevs are now rezzed by rezzers available on all INTERSIM AREAS in all regions(but the sandbox).

Intructions on how to use it are in MAGABAGA and in English and its super easy:
01- Click the rezzer;
02 - Once maglev shows up, take a seat;
03- Wait for 10 seconds and maglev will start run automatically, crossing allover the eight (4x4s) regions!! (*)
Have fun!

There are 12 different textures to choose from to suit whatever your décor is and it's free, full perm and waiting just for you!

Hello Friends!

I am thrilled to announce that I have my own grid! It was time to expand my horizons, and for Le Beau Retrouvé to truly flourish, it needed the resources to bring my vision to life. My mission is to showcase the incredible talents of artists from all genres and media, along with our amazing DJs and singers in OpenSim during our events.

The gallery is a beautiful, peaceful place, a neutral territory open to all grids and all people. I hope it becomes a hub where artists and anyone else can meet, collaborate, and build a community of friends from all grids and countries. Perhaps our dream of world peace starts with us and our virtual worlds.

Land Of Xzar is also on the new grid for you to visit, and some exciting new regions will soon be open to the public. Please stop by and refriend me if you wish, as this is a new account and I will no longer be on the Genesis Roleplay Grid. Though I am no longer on Genesis, I support them as I do all grids in our community. I am thankful for the time I had and wish them well.

I am also deeply grateful for the overwhelming support I have received from my friends and the community. Your support has meant so much to me and has been an integral part of my journey.

So, what are you dreaming of?

We are happy to announce the participation of “Yin Yang Town” in the NEOJAPAN event.
You can find some of her wonderful outfits and decorations at the event, see you today Thursday 6th at 14 hr PST grid time, (22hrs europe)

Hello Friends! I have been busy working on my shop and have made this sweet stone house available. It comes with a stone wall you can use as well. I built it for Braewood Forest in The Land Of Xzar, so visit there if you would like to see it furnished with the things I made for it as the one at the mall is unfurnished. All should be copy if anyone wants, or ask me. I have included a kitchen you can place if you wish.
I have added a lot of landscaping items: planters with flowers, ground flowers and plants, and a beautiful collection of trees made with AI-generated textures. There are also some new water lilies to add to your ponds, as well as a wooden gazebo with a dance ball.
I make all of my content using sculpts and prims. The shop is full of decor and finishing pieces that help turn a house into a home.
Look for Star Ravenhurst Designs on the teleporter when you land.
Thanks for having a look! Big Hugs!!

This 1 is for you and me, living out our dreams!
And We are All right where we should be!
With our arms out wide, I Open my Eyes...
and now all I want to see...
Is a sky full of Lighters!

By the time you hear this I will have already spiraled up
I would never do nothing to let you cowards fuck my world up
If I was you I would duck, or get struck, like lightning,
Fighters keep fighting, put your lighters up, point 'em skyward uh
Had a dream, I was king, I woke up, still king.

'Til nobody else even fucking feels me, 'til it kills me

Feel free, but from now on I'm refusing to ever give up
Only thing I ever gave up's using no more excuses
Excuse me if my head is too big for this building

I love it when I tell 'em shove it
'Cause it wasn't that, long ago when Leo sat, flustered lacked luster
'Cause he couldn't cut mustard, muster up, nothing
Brain fuzzy, 'cause he's buzzin', woke up from that buzzin'
Now you wonder why he does it, how he does it
Wasn't 'cause he had buzzards circlin' around his head
Waiting for him to drop dead, was it?
Or was it 'cause them bitches wrote him off
Little hussy ass, scuzzes, fuck it, guess it doesn't matter now, does it
What difference it make?
What it take to get it through your thick skulls
That this ain't some bullshit
People don't usually come back this way
From a place that was dark as I was in
Just to get to this place
Now let these words be like a switch blade to a hater's ribcage
And let it be known that from this day forward
I wanna just say thanks 'cause your hate is what gave me the strength
So let 'em Bics raise 'cause I came with 5'9" but I feel like I'm 6'8″!

I cried plenty tears, my daddy got a bad back
So it's only right that I write 'til he can march right into that post office and tell 'em to hang it up

I'll stop when I'm at the very top
You shitted on me on your way up
It's 'bout to be a scary drop

Every hour, happy hour now
Life is wacky now

Now I'm just the cat's meow, ow
Classic cow, always down for the catchweight like Pacquiao
Ya'll are doomed
I remember when T-Pain ain't wanna work with me
My car starts itself, parks itself and autotunes
'Cause now I'm in the Aston
I went from having my city locked up
To getting treated like Kwame Kilpatrick
And now I'm fantastic
Compared to a weed high

Y'all bugging out like Wendy Williams staring at a beehive
And how real is that
I remember signing my first deal and now I'm the second best, I can deal with that
Now Bruno can show his ass, without the MTV awards gag...

You and I know what it's like to be kicked down
Forced to fight
But tonight, we're alright
So hold up your lights
Let it shine
'Cause, this one's for you and me, living out our dreams
We're all right where we should be
With my arms out wide, I open my eyes
And now all I wanna see
Is a sky full of lighters
A sky full of lighters

This post is dedicated to those who refuse to stand idle and take everyone's shit. Those who fight for what is right and what they believe in. Those who do their best to enact positive change and enlightenment in the face of adversity. Yes i posted lyrics from a song...a very inspirational song with a positive message. Now all i want to see...is a sky full of Lighters!

The inverted pink triangle, surrounded by a green circle symbolizing universal acceptance, was introduced at anti-homophobia workshops from the Gay & Lesbian Urban Explorers in 1989. You may want to use this image at your place to show its a space free from homophobia, and to indicate your alliance with LGBT rights. You can get a copy of this, and other signs, at the Xinashi landing zone. grid.wolfterritories.org:8002:Xinashi Feel free to suggest other signs to use.

Please help distribute a sign or three by setting them for sale and full perm. Let me know if you display any of them, and I'll add your place to a list of LGBT-friendly places. The Love Is Love Alliance members hope to have Safari-like events once a month (one place at a time), rotating through the places on the list.

The Love Is Love Alliance
We promote LGBT community-building activities in OS, such as identifying and promoting places that celebrate pride, individuality, and diversity. Membership is open to all people and places supportive of our purpose and those working to promote it.

My latest memorial is a very very special one. It is a memorial for my mother, a victim of cancer at the age of 50. She taught me so much of how to be a decent human being and to respect others. It took a woman like her to raise a kid like me and I'm grateful to God that she was my mother. She wasn't perfect by a long shot, but she was the perfect mom for me. So I wanted to have a memorial for her in the Park for Mother's day. If you have a loved one you would like to have memorialized in the Haven of Memories, just let me know, we can discuss the particulars and there is no charge, it's a free service because I care. Blessings and much love, Lavia
