I'm currently developing a new OpenSim "Front End" - as I've not had much success with others. When its "done" it will be freely available for others to use if they like.

It will feature:
* account creation (automatic or admin approved)
* avatar selection on account creation
* change your grid password
* profile page showing profile pic and about - and also picks (both currently working)
* offline messages (currently working)
* friends list - also showing online status (with a caveat that presense is bad in opensim)
* partnering (send a partner request to another grid member who can accept in the web interfface, and also disilve.
* admin interface where admins can approve new members or suspend existing users
* restart regions if you are estate owner, manager, or grid admin with a high user level
* shutdown or start regions as above permissions
* take oars of regions as above permissions
* restore oars of regions as above permissions

And any other items I add. Currently the system allows you to log in with your grid account and see your profile and offlines. Other things will be added over the next days.

The system is php based - and will have a few php module requirements. Direct database access is used for GETTING some data (currently it only supports MariaDB - and "probably" MySQL) - but no writes will ever be made directly to the database - any WRITES will be by api calls through Robust / Simulator calls.

OARConv 3.8.9 is now out. I took a hard look at the LOD processing, I had noticed that things seemed to fizzle out when I zoomed out. I was successful in making the LOD processes more like the viewer, so you can now have high LOD if you want by setting it that way. It is good enough that I am redoing all teh meshes in the museum with it...at once :-) https://maze.bz/OARConv.html picture reflect the change..enjoy yourself!

She created avatars, clothing, buildings, animations, textures and entire regions.
She gave every last one of them away. No strings. No license fees. No DMCA.
Universities used her work. Hospitals used her work. You used her work.
Anthropic's Claude AI searched the entire public record.

In twenty years, nobody threw her a party.
This demands long overdue gratitude.

We shall honor her with an ENTIRE SEASON since nobody else cares to.

I created a surf shop today at Catena di Isole. I moved the sand writings to here and also the surf pose. I will be adding beach stuff here as I can. The Waves of Courage was the first surf comp in Opensim, so thought that would be a perfect name for my shop. I have been making progress on the surfboard with many edits and fine tuning, I am happy to have gotten this far, I really appeciate the coders now. Swing by say hi anytime!

Before The World Got Loud is a cinematic music video about connection, memory, transformation, and the moments that stay with us long after life changes.
This visual journey follows a path through dreamlike landscapes, luminous skies, flowing colors, and memories that refuse to disappear. It is a story about finding your way toward someone or something important, and discovering that even when circumstances change, what was real still matters.

I put out a new "MakeMe" box. it has adult animation HUD + scan/controller HUD + a skirt for LaraX and Reborn. The victim wears the special skirt. The control AV wears the Adult Animation HUD and the MakeMe Scan/Controller HUD. With the scan hud it finds appropriate victims in range and forces them into the animations from the adult hud. it's consensual non-consensual fun.
