New release today. Something for the garden, at least we can have virtual spring ;)

This one is a victorian-ish garden gazebo.
It has several versions that's aren't all on display at the shop since the gazebo is pretty large. There are 2 metal choices, 2 clematis colors, and 2 vine configurations. Textures are inside a version in the box and an enclosed notecard has all the info.
The vines and the chandeliers are separate objects so they are optional for those who just want the structure.

Have a lovely day!

** PETUNIAS LOG PLANTER ** New release - Available for FREE and FULL PERM at FLORA, GARDEN SECTOR, BOX 01.
- 5 different flowers and seasons included.
- Scripted version also available - use a single script to change colors/seasons using one single script! Even if rezing a hundred of these log planters!
Enjoy :)

New release today. I was intending to make these flowers for a while and finally did them. Day Lilies and "Tiger" Lilies. In my garden, the flowers I call Tiger Lilies are really just larger Day Lilies. The real Tiger Lilies are different, I know, but I named them as I knew them :).

I worked out a solution for initial sitting bug in the NPC Horse (script by Shin Ingen) where the avatar sinks through the horse when wearing an AO.
In the NPC horse script by Shin Ingen in under run_time_permissions(integer perm) FIND
if (perm & PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION)
{
llStopAnimation("sit");
//llStartAnimation("man-stop");
switchAnims("idle");
}
and REPLACE with
if (perm & PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION)
{
list anims = llGetAnimationList(llGetPermissionsKey());
integer len = llGetListLength(anims);
integer i;
for (i = 0; i < len; ++i) llStopAnimation(llList2Key(anims, i));
//llOwnerSay("Permissions Accepted");
switchAnims("idle");
}
If you don't like coding, just hop over to Neiferleaf and fetch the boxed new horse rezzer at the landingpoint.
Enjoy

Arkham Grid was born without an internal community project, players can't register, so I knew the difference. Not knowing and not having friends. This has not happened, I have more friendships now than in many years of Opensim, many come to greet, to talk, or to listen to me. I am very happy, there is a lot to do in this grid, my next project is to open land for residents "Arda", I am ready to host friends in my house.
I thank all the people who have always chosen Arkham, thank you for your friendship, and for creating a great community in the grid.
Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year!

See you at the club!

"Hi everyone. I decided to post this screenshot because the situation really struck a nerve, and I have nothing to hide. This guy spewed a ton of vile hate under my post.
Honestly? It just hurts. It’s painful and disgusting to read how you—along with millions of others—are dragged through the mud simply because of the passport you hold or where you were born. This guy goes on, in all seriousness, about the 'free world,' while being completely consumed by blind xenophobia. He thinks it’s perfectly fine to paint everyone with the same brush and strip people of their right to simply be human, judging the world based solely on images from the TV.
I want to address all the reasonable people in this community. Is it really considered normal these days to judge someone by their nationality rather than their individual actions? I didn’t bother anyone, I didn’t insult any of you—I just shared some content. And suddenly, I’m hit with this nonsense claiming that we’re 'not human' and that we should be wiped off the face of the earth. Tell me, please: is this the 'freedom' and the 'European values' that everyone keeps shouting about? Dividing people into 'right' and 'wrong' nationalities is pure fascism, no matter what you call it.
I’m nearly 40 years old; I just want to live my life, connect with others, grow, and go about my own business. I didn’t choose where I was born—just like none of you did! And I have no intention of bearing the brunt of someone else’s aggression or personal issues. Decent people always judge someone by who they are on the inside, what they do, and how they treat those around them. What you see in this screenshot is nothing more than cowardly harassment. This guy showed up, dumped a load of filth for no reason, and then just vanished." Let me know what you think about this. It’s genuinely important for me to see if there are still people here who can think for themselves, rather than just parroting clichés from the internet. Wishing everyone peace and kindness.

There's something wonderful about creating your own little piece of countryside, complete with a farmhouse overlooking the land and ocean.

Thanks to Ferd Frederix and his Outworldz DreamGrid, you can create your own grid, build your own estate, and make your virtual world exactly how you imagine it.

**„Deine Umarmung bleibt“** 🖤

Du bist gegangen, und die Welt steht still,
weil mein Herz dich nicht gehen lassen will.
Die Stille schreit, die Sehnsucht brennt,
ein Schmerz, den nur die Liebe kennt.

Ich suche dich in jedem Augenblick,
doch keine Träne bringt dich mir zurück.
Und wenn ich nachts vor Kummer weine,
wünsch ich mir nur die Arme, deine.

Du fehlst mir mehr, als Worte sagen,
wie soll mein Herz den Abschied tragen?
Und gäbe es einen Weg zu dir,
ich liefe ihn sofort – zurück zu dir.

**Für immer dein. Für immer mein.
Für immer werden wir verbunden sein.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
🖤 **“Your Embrace Remains”** 🖤

You have gone, and time stands still,
My heart can't let you go, and never will.
The silence screams, the longing burns,
A pain that only true love learns.

I search for you in every passing day,
But no amount of tears can bring you back my way.
And when at night I cry in pain,
I long to feel your arms again.

I miss you more than words can ever say,
How can my heart endure you being away?
And if there were a path that led to you,
I'd walk it in a heartbeat, straight to you.

**Forever yours. Forever mine.
Forever our two souls entwine.

Thousands of Free Resources for OpenSim at Outworldz

Building an OpenSim world often starts with an idea — and then comes the hunt for everything needed to bring that idea to life.

Outworldz has maintained a huge collection of free creator resources for years, growing into an extraordinary archive for the OpenSim community.

The Outworldz Free Sculpts and Mesh Library contains more than 1,800 downloadable resources, ranging from complete environments to small building components.

More Than Just Mesh

Despite the original name of the collection, this isn't simply an archive of sculpt maps.

You'll find Collada DAE meshes, OBJ files, sculpt maps, textures, BVH animations, sounds, XML files, IAR inventories and complete OAR regions. Many ZIP archives also contain textures and supporting files for the included objects.

That makes the collection useful for region designers, builders, mesh creators and anyone interested in learning more about creating content for OpenSim.

A Huge Archive to Explore

The variety is enormous.

The collection includes houses, furniture, plants, rocks, terrain resources, medieval props, roads, animations, avatars, trees, environmental packs, building textures and creator resources.

You'll also find resources for creators working outside the viewer, including Blender materials, seamless textures, mesh resources and templates.

Some of these resources have been downloaded thousands of times, making this archive part of a long history of creators sharing their work with the OpenSim community.

OARs and IARs

OpenSim users should take particular notice of the OAR and IAR resources.

OAR files can contain complete archived regions, while IAR files can contain inventory content ready for use with OpenSimulator. Outworldz provides search options that make it easier to locate these resources within the collection.

For DreamGrid users, this opens up another world of possibilities. Resources can be useful for experimenting, learning, creating new regions or simply discovering what other OpenSim creators have shared over the years.

Free Still Means Respect the Creator

There is one important thing to remember:

Free does not mean license-free.

These resources have been contributed by many different creators over many years. Always check the credits and licensing information included with an individual download before modifying, sharing or redistributing it.

Outworldz has received free content from more than 600 contributors, and respecting those creators and their individual licenses is part of keeping a free-resource community healthy.

Some resources may have extremely permissive licenses. Others may require attribution or carry additional restrictions.

Always check the individual resource rather than assuming everything in the archive has identical permissions.

Creators Can Contribute Too

Outworldz isn't simply a place to download resources.

Creators can also contribute their own projects to the collection. Submissions can include appropriate creator credits and licensing information so future users know exactly how the resource may be used.

That's one of the things that has kept OpenSim interesting for so many years: people building, experimenting, learning and choosing to share some of what they create with others.

Start Exploring

With more than 1,800 resources, you probably won't make it through the entire archive over morning coffee.

Fortunately, it's searchable.

Whether you're hunting for an OAR, animations, terrain textures, mesh resources, building components or simply some inspiration for your next region, take a look through the Outworldz archive.

You might find exactly what your next world needs.

🦋 Butterflies Always Near 🦋

Butterflies have a very special meaning to me.

At 96 years old, my mother was still creating. One of the last things she made for her daughters was a sequined butterfly. She carefully placed every single sequin by hand. She passed away only a few months later, on September 18, 2024.

Those butterflies became something I treasure, and now they have inspired this little creation.

Butterflies Always Near is a butterfly choker created in remembrance of my mother and also in memory of Dolly Parton, whose love of butterflies made this tribute feel especially fitting.

Each choker comes nestled inside a lavender butterfly keepsake box and will be given as a gift at Monentes Jewelry.

A butterfly may only stay for a moment, but somehow its beauty stays with us.

For those we love, and those we remember — butterflies are always near. 🦋

HG Safari returns on September 2 after a long break ! The season lasts until November. As usual our international group will be going to see all kinds of art, tech, landscapes, seascapes and strange fantastical places. Join us if you can for two outstanding destinations this coming Wednesday.

A little message to the experts of tolerance 😇

I’ve heard some criticism about how my grid looks, and honestly, that made me a little sad. Someone told me without telling me details and source of origine.

I would have appreciated a simple “If you’d like, we’d be happy to help.” That would have meant much more to me than hearing about it afterwards.

I know my grid isn’t perfect. I also know that I don’t always have the same energy, possibilities or resources as other people. And that can make some things slower or more difficult.

But I love what I’m creating in my grid and especially now in Cataleya. ❤️

My original idea was a little city where people from different grids could have a home, gallery, club or anything new. That turned out to be much harder than I imagined.

Still, Calvin has a beautiful exhibition in the city and a wonderful sculpture in the landscape, and that makes me really happy.

For now, the grid is closed while I work on it in my own time.

And if you don’t like it, that’s perfectly okay. You don’t have to look at it.

I’m still allowed to love it. ❤️

Maybe tolerance is sometimes simply giving people the freedom to create differently.

And perhaps a little kindness along the way. 🌿

NEWS from the animeshie front:
my next project, the dolphin gang, is developing..;
I am designing a system for the gang, to randomly pick a subscript from their contents, so each dol jumps, etc in a non-predictable way....I'll keep u posted:)

✨ BK – Schmuck, der Charakter zeigt ✨

Feine Materialien, edle Akzente und eine klare Designsprache verbinden sich zu einem Ausdruck von Stil und Persönlichkeit.

Jedes Stück steht für Eleganz, für Stärke und für die Kunst, sich selbst zu zeigen – ohne laut zu sein. Gold, Perlen und markante Details formen eine Linie, die modern wirkt und dennoch zeitlos bleibt.

BK bedeutet Luxus, der spürbar ist. Design, das berührt. Schmuck, der getragen wird, weil er etwas sagt.

SVPortal - Web Front-end to OpenSim

Is now available to download. This is a release candidate - there may be bugs!

If you plan to install this on your own grid please carefully read the README.md and INSTALL.md in the package. No warrantee is implied in this package. If it breaks - you get to keep both halves. If it breaks your OpenSim - the same thing goes. PLEASE TAKE BACKUPS OF YOUR GRID SYSTEMS BEFORE INSTALLING. While I have tested extensively on my grid and a test grid - all grids are different.

Please visit https://www.glenysbieler.com/svportal/ to read documents and to download the package.
