I've nearly completed a full PBR remodel of the Medieval Area in the store by updating all existing items and adding new ones as well. Pictured here is the redone King Arthurs Round Table, part of a larger collection of Arthurian items like Excalibur, the Grail Tapestries, as well as a group of items utilizing my imagining of the Arthur Pendragon heraldry.

The table group is done in reflective copper, gold, mahogany and leather, and includes Siege Perilous - the one chair of the Round Table reserved only for the most worthy knight, and would kill anyone else who dared sit in it. The platform under the table is marked with Merlin's triskelion symbol, denoting a kingdom created and established by magic; the table above bears the Knights Oath, denoting a kingdom governed by the rule of law and equity.

You can find the Medieval Area on the left at the back of the lobby.

Cause I'm a gypsy, are you coming with me?
I might steal your clothes and wear them if they fit me

And I won't back down 'cause life's already bit me
And I won't cry, I'm too young to die
If you're gonna quit me
"Cause I'm a gypsy"

The Funsize Dinkies darted from car to car, checking out the paint jobs, roaring engines, and sleek designs. Some of the Dinkies admired the shiny chrome details, while others imagined themselves behind the wheel of a big Monster Truck.

I stumbled across something cool today. I have been working on a huge cluster of 6x6 regions, with all mis-matched, imported terrains. So there was a LOT of terraforming and blending, which can take a long time with the land tool. I discovered a debug setting "LandBrushSize" It normally maxes out at 11, but you can set it to cover a HUGE area and very quickly flatten out sim edges and smooth them, build mountains quickly, etc. You can get to the Debug settings with control-alt-shift-S and type "LandBrushSize" in the search box. It set mine to 30 or 40 to do large areas.

Valland Shop got a new shop !

Best viewed with PBR Viewer.

The excitement of turning a dream into reality. It begins as a spark of imagination, a vivid mental picture of a breathtaking world—perhaps a misty mountain range, an alien landscape, or a bustling medieval city. This dream is like the first stroke of inspiration for an artist.

When you start building, the blank OpenSim region becomes your canvas, a digital palette where each prim, texture, and script is a brushstroke. The process is exhilarating as you shape the terrain, paint the sky with colors and clouds, and breathe life into your vision. You sculpt cliffs, plant forests, and carve rivers, adding details that make your world not just beautiful but immersive.

What makes OpenSim even more thrilling is its ability to provide massive land sizes without the prohibitive costs of other virtual platforms like Second Life. The expansive landscapes give creators room to explore their wildest ideas, unburdened by financial constraints. This freedom fuels creativity, allowing for sprawling builds that are limited only by the creator’s imagination.

There's also a sense of discovery as the imagined meets the possible. You experiment with elements—adjusting lighting for a perfect sunset, scripting interactive elements, or adding soundscapes that make the environment hum with life. The joy of creation is heightened when the imagined dream surpasses your expectations and becomes a place where others can explore, share, and marvel.

Building in OpenSim is not just crafting pixels; it’s the act of creation in its purest form—a thrilling dance between imagination and realization, where the limits are only bound by the extent of your dreams.

This is an excellent place to start:
