I like to drop a post every now and then on another virtual universe I'm involved in developing, with a working name of Starlite Galaxies. It's a user-content generated world like SL and Opensim, but not based on their code. A complete new game engine has been written from the ground up in proprietary codebase using C++, utilizing the Vulkan API instead of OpenGL. The universe will not be compatible with opensim code, but we are discussing a bridge option down the road to allow opensim users to visit. The game is currently approaching alpha testing for which all slots are filled.

The top shot is a helmet readily available on 3D model sites that we use to test our handling of PBR materials and shaders. This one is reflecting the environment we dropped it in and running at 4910 fps on full blast graphics using a GeForce 3060 card (I believe this is the same helmet visible in the recent SL tutorial on their version of PBR)

The bottom image is an asteroid field with 50,000 physical objects all orbiting a central mass independently of one another. We wanted to find a breaking point, but only got the fps down to 720 fps.

We also are testing on a variety of lower end machines to find baselines for the graphics and physics. But if you want to go full-bore gaming using VR, controllers, joysticks, flight-sim equipment, etc., then all of that capability is already there and working. Probably would only want to use VR with your feet on the ground. We found flying ships in VR was...unsettling.

I apologize if it seems I am spamming you guys, but this creator adsky_pes at Sketchfab caused it by creating this Phenomenal Victorian Pocket watch that I have animated to open and close and it is on a chain that you hold. I have other chains around the store too if you want to wear it. There is a resize script and touch to open and close. If you add a chain make sure the watch is linked last as it is the parent prim. https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/vintage-pocket-watch-2e606... I promise this is my last post today!!

In reference to my post yesterday..
A professor gave a balloon to every student, who had to inflate it, write their name on it and throw it in the hallway. The professor then mixed all the balloons. The students were given 5 minutes to find their own balloon. Despite a hectic search, no one found their balloon. At that point the professor told the students to take the first balloon that they found and hand it to the person whose name was written on it. Within 5 minutes everyone had their own balloon.
The professor said to the students: “These balloons are like happiness. We will never find it if everyone is looking for their own. But if we care about other people's happiness....we'll find ours too. This is the same as "community building" if we all help and support each other.. we would be much happier.. just something to think about.. as a side note.. I love teachers who teach like this!
Here’s to caring about everyone’s happiness .. now and always!

A new square link neck chain so that you can add the different pendants I create, or just wear it as it is. Gold or Silver - change by touching the chain.

I added an OSG Telescope to SkyRealm Observatory. An OSG (Observing System for the Globe) Telescope is a specialized instrument used for observing celestial bodies such as stars, planets, and galaxies. It is equipped with advanced technology that enables it to capture and transmit high-quality images and data about these objects.

One of the features of the OSG Telescope is its ability to be connected to a PC viewing screen. This allows the images and data captured by the telescope to be viewed and analyzed on a computer in real-time.

The PC viewing screen is typically connected to the telescope through a data cable or wireless connection. The screen displays a live feed of the images and data captured by the telescope, which can be analyzed by astronomers and researchers for scientific purposes.

This technology has revolutionized the way astronomers and researchers study the cosmos, as it allows for detailed and real-time observation of celestial objects. It also allows for remote observation, where the telescope can be operated from a different location than the observer.

Overall, the OSG Telescope equipped with a PC viewing screen is a powerful tool for studying the universe and advancing our understanding of the cosmos. Please stop by anytime! virtual-hg.com:8002:SkyRealm

All the lockets are in the store now. I will make more soon because they are so fun to create. Look in the foyer on the little table. Thank you to Aloria and Fred you both gave me such an excellent challenge, it was fun! I have other chains too around the store you can add instead of the pearl chain. If you do please make sure the locket is linked last as this is the parent prim. If you would like to know how to make a locket that open and closes please read here: https://virtual-hg.com/JOpensim/index.php?option=com_conte...

The latest of my builds now on display at the mall, the sales box is in front of the house and it is open to all to explore the house inside and out. It does have unlinked doors so if you get it be sure to set it out in edit and keep it in edit until it's positioned. This beautiful home is yours for free to use on your region and I hope you love it. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

@Aloria came by with a special request which I always love a good challenge. On her list was a Locket that could be opened when touched. I created a Love Locket that can be opened by touch thanks to @FerdFrederix tips! I still have some fine-tuning yet to do but it should be out later this week. I created three lockets, Cameo, Celtic Heart, and Love Locket. The image has a texture-changing script so that you can add the images to the contents of the image prim, that way you can select different images. If you would like to create your own locket that opens and closes I wrote a bit of info on how to here: https://virtual-hg.com/JOpensim/index.php?option=com_conte... the lockets will be out soon~
