The new OSW beacon is now in the OSW package in our region. The new beacon includes some bug fixes and a new Like / comment button that allows people who visit your region to give likes and comments to your region. Get it from our region along with the new HUD!

The tool isn't the standard. Accuracy is.

And this issue existed long before AI.

Before AI, I used RhinoGold to create studio renders of my jewelry. Those renders often looked considerably better than the jewelry could look inworld at the time—not because the product was different, but because professional rendering gave me control over lighting, reflections and the environment.

Virtual worlds don't have natural sunlight. What we see is rendered by software, and the final appearance depends on the viewer, graphics settings, lighting, environment settings and the technology available at the time.

Then PBR came along, and suddenly materials such as gold could look dramatically more realistic inworld—for people using a PBR-capable viewer with the appropriate settings.

That's an important point: there are many variables affecting what any individual visitor sees.

Two people can stand in front of exactly the same object or in exactly the same region and have a noticeably different visual experience because of their viewer, graphics settings, lighting and hardware.

So expecting an advertisement to reproduce exactly what every person will see on their own screen isn't a reasonable standard.

The reasonable standard is that the advertisement fairly represents the region or product being advertised.

AI doesn't change that.

What works for one creator may not work for another. What looks good on one person's system may not look identical on someone else's. That's always been part of creating for virtual worlds.

Nobody gets to declare, “My AI use is responsible, therefore mine is acceptable, but I don't approve of yours.”

Creators don't need permission from other creators to use new technology.

If you don't like AI, don't use it.

If you do use it, use it responsibly.

And if you're wondering whether my AI advertisement represents Tumbletwig, there is a wonderfully simple way to find out:

Come visit Tumbletwig and see it for yourself.

That is the comparison that matters.

One now can paint his own texture on the SIM ground and control its repetition using the Wolfviewer. That feature though is only seen by those who uses such software (even coming from other grids but must be seen in WT grid only) ... and I indeed loved the outcome! SL 4-layered-old style.... U SUCK BADLY! lol

We are still plugging away at the new Wordpress website. I am kind of enjoying the challenge.

As it stands right now we cant switch until we figure out what we need to do to make sure when we upgrade dreamgrid the changes cant revert back. (any ideas)

On another note, I recently acquired jopensim 4 and joomla 4 that works with php 7. There is now a version being worked on for jopensim that would be compatible with 6. until we can switch to wordpress, i am tempted to see how this goes.

I know there are no security releases for 4 but our current version now has no new ones anyways. and 4 would be the only way to get to the later version of jopensim once its ready.

If we switch to wordpress, i thought it might be cool to add destinations on my website from other grids. Like shopping regions, clubs etc. If you own a grid, let me know your thoughts.
