Clarification for closed grids: Opensimworld is a directory of Hypergrid destinations. Closed regions will not appear in the rankings or directory (just like we don't list Second life regions). Regions that were once open and closed are not deleted, but may remain in the directory for 1 year. They won't appear in the rankings and they are marked as inaccessible, but their pages still exist

Additionally: this only applies to regions that are closed to hypergrid. It is OK to list a region that requires group membership to access for example.

Civility: Be civil

Posters who call names or harass people will be banned from posting for 7 days to indefinitely.

This is a beautiful Heart Bezel solitaire in Ruby. It is bento rigged so it increased the LOD it is a bit heavy. The mesh was reduced 50% prior to rigging too. For those that demand bento, and to the ones who scream at me for being heavy, I have to say, sorry but had to do it!! You can find it in the Bento rings section in the Foyer.

So many moralists ... OK too many. I don't understand it, please help me. You don't do everything yourself. You copy right and left. From people who give you everything free, copy mod transe. You do the same things on your land/sim. You block it for others. No mod no trans ...... DID YOU ASK YOURSELF AT WHICH RIGHT? ACROSS FROM YOUR PEOPLE? Do you understand the message Yes? Welcome to Opensim! :-)

Halloween with Fred: The Zombie That Just Won’t Stay Dead

Halloween is creeping closer, which means it is time to dig through the wonderfully strange corners of Outworldz and resurrect a few old friends.

And this one is very difficult to keep dead.

Meet Fred’s Animated Zombie.

This isn't the sort of zombie that stands in the corner of your Halloween build looking menacing while everyone ignores it.

Fred apparently looked at that idea and decided zombies needed a better job description.

This zombie walks.
It attacks.
It makes noise.
You can hit it.
It falls apart.
It puts itself back together.

And, naturally...

YOU CAN RIDE IT.

Because why run away from the zombie when you can climb aboard and drive the thing around?

A Zombie With a Few Tricks Left in Him

Fred designed the zombie as an animated wandering character using his Prim Animation Compiler system.

The animation sequence includes standing, attacking, walking with alternating left and right steps, reacting to hits, taking a particularly nasty hit, and finally falling completely to pieces.

But death is apparently only a temporary inconvenience.

After enough abuse, the zombie collapses into scattered pieces on the ground.

Wait a bit...

...and he puts himself back together.

Then off he goes again.

There is something wonderfully Fred about engineering an undead creature that even death can't persuade to stop working.

Go Ahead. Hit Him.

The zombie actually keeps score as people interact with him.

Clicking him causes a hit reaction and eventually does enough damage to trigger the full death animation.

Head, arms, body — down he goes.

Then the zombie reassembles himself and resumes wandering around.

It makes a great interactive Halloween prop because visitors aren't simply looking at something spooky. They're causing things to happen.

And probably clicking him repeatedly just to see him explode again.

We know how people are.

But Wait — There's a Ride Me Button

This may be my favorite part.

Right-click the zombie and choose RIDE ME.

Your avatar climbs aboard, and suddenly the shambling Halloween decoration has become transportation.

Fred's script turns the zombie into a controllable vehicle, allowing you to steer him with your arrow keys.

So while everyone else is arriving at the Halloween party on broomsticks, motorcycles and dragons, you can make your entrance...

piggybacking on a zombie.

I think that wins Halloween.

When You Get Off, It Gets Even Better

Getting off your undead transportation doesn't simply end the ride.

The zombie falls apart.

Then he reassembles himself.

Then he walks back home.

Because apparently Fred even taught the zombie to clean up after the party.

The Engineering Behind the Silly

That's what I particularly enjoy about discoveries like this in the Outworldz archives.

They're funny, but underneath the humor is some genuinely clever scripting.

The zombie combines prim animation, sounds, physics, vehicle controls, randomized movement, interaction, damage scoring, roaming boundaries and a home position into one wonderfully ridiculous project.

Fred didn't just explain how to use it, either. His original tutorial documents how the animations are recorded, how the physics base is constructed, how the sounds are added, how the riding position is created and how the scripts work together.

It's one of those projects where you can play with the finished creation — or dig into the code and learn something from the way it was made.

That has always been part of the fun of Outworldz.

Build something.

Take it apart.

Learn how it works.

Change it.

And occasionally ride it around while it makes monster noises.

Resurrect Something This Halloween

There are years and years of creations tucked away at Outworldz, and Halloween seems like an excellent excuse to start opening some of those old crypts.

Fred's zombie certainly deserves another walk among the living.

Just remember one important rule:

If you manage to kill him...

don't celebrate too quickly.

He's getting back up. https://outworldz.com/Secondlife/posts/zombie/

I am honored to share the news that Fred Beckhusen’s “Phaze” collection will be coming to the Weathered Woods Second Life Marketplace store.

Phaze was the Second Life region of Fred Beckhusen and Debbie Edwards, and the creations associated with Phaze represent their creativity, work, and history in Second Life. Full credit for these creations and their legacy belongs to Fred Beckhusen and Debbie Edwards.

Weathered Woods is honored to provide a new home where selected pieces from this remarkable archive can once again be made available to the Second Life community.

This will be a carefully curated collection. Fred will decide which creations from his archives he wishes to release, and those pieces will be added to Weathered Woods over time. Each Marketplace listing will preserve the appropriate creator attribution and acknowledge the history behind the work.

For me, having Fred’s work represented alongside my own creations at Weathered Woods is an extraordinary honor. I look forward to helping preserve this little piece of Second Life history and making Fred and Debbie’s creations available for others to discover and enjoy again.

Coming to Weathered Woods

The creations and legacy of Fred Beckhusen & Debbie Edwards

Please Note! Platform Availability Notice


The Phaze Archive will be curated separately for Second Life and OpenSim. Items, versions, permissions, and availability may differ between platforms.

Each platform will feature content specifically selected and approved for release there. An item available on one platform should not be assumed to be available on the other.

All original creator credits and applicable licensing will be preserved.

To Address any confusion:

A Note About the Phaze Archive

I would like to clarify the purpose of this project.

The Phaze Collection represents archived Second Life creations by Fred Beckhusen and Debbie Edwards. Our goal is preservation—to restore these precious assets, keep them from being lost to time, and allow selected creations to be enjoyed again in the environment for which they were originally created.

These are not simply files that can automatically be moved to OpenSim. Some contain Second Life-specific scripts and functionality that would need to be rewritten or adapted for OpenSim before they could work properly.

We are also not using Second Life Marketplace primarily as a money-making venture. It is the Second Life distribution portal available to us, making it a practical way to preserve and provide access to selected pieces from the archive.

OpenSim is separate. Fred has generously provided creations to the OpenSim community through Outworldz for well over a decade, and new resources continue to be added there. We do not distribute through Kitely Market. We distribute here:
https://outworldz.com/

Many of our OpenSim friends also maintain homes and avatars in Second Life. Those are the people this announcement was intended to reach. We are part of communities that overlap; enjoying one virtual world does not require us to stop enjoying another.

Most importantly, this project is about preservation, respect for the original creators, and ensuring that an important collection of virtual-world creativity survives to be enjoyed again. ❤️

Jackie — Wings of Remembrance 🦅

Today I created a piece that means more to me than jewelry.

The passing of Jackie, the beloved Big Bear bald eagle, touched my heart deeply. Watching her life, her devotion to her nest, and seeing her young finally take flight made her story one I will never forget.

In her memory, I created Wings of Remembrance, a silver eagle choker with her wings spread wide—symbolizing strength, freedom, love, and the beautiful legacy she leaves behind.

Some creations begin as an idea. Others begin in the heart. This was one of those.

Jackie — may your spirit forever soar above the mountains you called home. 🦅🤍

At the threshold of Ignis Fatuus Grid, time seems to stand still.
In this virtual realm born of OpenSim, stones whisper ancient legends, forests guard their secrets, and paths lead toward horizons steeped in mystery.

From Coralys to Guinguette, from Shalott to Forest Dragon Tower, from Saraneth to Phaedra, from Sybella to Yggdrasil—each region reveals a fragment of a dream, a touch of enchantment, a promise of escape.
Here, castles rise like dreams carved in stone, woods open onto the unknown, and the soul journeys to the rhythm of a medieval world filled with beauty and wonder.

Ignis Fatuus Grid is not merely a place to visit; it is an invitation to wander, to contemplate, and to dream.
A realm of shadow and light, where the imagination finds sanctuary and every step opens the door to an enchanted elsewhere.

.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Au seuil d’Ignis Fatuus Grid, le temps semble suspendu.
Sur cette terre virtuelle née sous le signe d’OpenSim, les pierres murmurent des légendes anciennes, les forêts gardent leurs secrets, et les chemins conduisent vers des horizons empreints de mystère.

De Coralys à Guinguette, de Shalott à Forest Dragon Tower, de Saraneth à Phaedra, de Sybella à Yggdrasil, chaque région dévoile un fragment de rêve, un éclat de féerie, une promesse d’évasion.
Ici, les châteaux se dressent comme des songes de pierre, les bois s’ouvrent sur l’inconnu, et l’âme voyage au rythme d’un monde médiéval peuplé de beauté et de merveilles.

Ignis Fatuus Grid n’est pas seulement un lieu à visiter : c’est une invitation à errer, à contempler, à rêver.
Un royaume d’ombres et de lumière, où l’imaginaire trouve refuge et où chaque pas ouvre la porte d’un ailleurs enchanté.
