The Journey Collection
For many of us, our avatars have walked beside us for years.
They have shared our adventures, our friendships, our celebrations, and countless memories across virtual worlds.
Yet while we changed, learned, laughed, cried, and grew older, our avatars often remained frozen in time.

The Journey Collection was born from a simple question:

---- What if ... our avatars could tell their stories too? ----

Today we are introducing the first members of this collection:
Elsa and Matt.
Each avatar includes multiple carefully crafted life stages that allow the same character to evolve through time.
These are not different skins.
They are not aging add-ons.
They are not separate characters.
Each stage is part of the same skin, carefully designed to preserve the avatar's identity while reflecting different moments in their journey.
You can choose the stage that feels right for you.
You can remain there forever.
Or you can let your avatar grow alongside you over the years.
There are no rules.
There is no "correct" age.
The choice is entirely yours.
Because The Journey Collection is not about getting older.
It is about allowing our avatars to carry a little of the story we have lived together.

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!

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!
