A Small but Important Update on Textures

Ina Beaumont recently asked if I could include all of the textures with my items, not just the PBR materials, so that people who are not using a PBR-enabled viewer can still enjoy them properly.

I gave this some thought. I had been hoping that most everyone was moving toward PBR-enabled viewers, but Ina made a very good point—not everyone is there yet, and not everyone uses Firestorm.

So, going forward, I will include the complete set of textures that comes with the model, including the traditional textures as well as the PBR materials.

A quick note about texture sizes: please feel free to reduce them to whatever size works best for you. I have experimented with reducing them myself, but on many of the items I find that they become noticeably blurry, so the original size generally gives me the best results.

These are the textures produced with the model pack, and with the number of things I create, I simply don't have the time to resize and test every individual texture before release.

Please resize them as you wish and use whatever gives you the best balance between appearance and performance on your grid.

Thank you, Ina, for bringing this up. It was a good suggestion, and hopefully including everything will make my creations more accessible to everyone. ♥

I have added all the textures to the Hot Damn BBQ (sorry for the return trip to grab them) Also the Butterflies are Near Choker at Monentes Jewelry. Thank you Ina for helping me to realize the obvious, not everyone has or likes PBR!

🍻 O’zapft is bei BK-Mode! 🎡💙🤍

Das Oktoberfest hält Einzug in OpenSim – und wer sagt eigentlich, dass man dafür nach München fahren muss? Bei BK-Mode findest du eine Auswahl an schicken Dirndln und zünftigen Trachtenanzügen, perfekt für Wiesn, Festzelt und alles, was nach Brezn, Bier und guter Laune aussieht. 😄

Ob fesches Dirndl oder kerniger Trachtenlook – schmeiß dich in Schale und zeig, was du hast! Denn auf der Wiesn gilt: Wer ohne Tracht kommt, muss wenigstens den Maßkrug stemmen können. 😉🍺 Schau bei BK-Mode vorbei und mach OpenSim ein bisschen bayerischer! 🥨🎉

💀 APOCALYPSE — THE NEW LOCATION 💀

Well… we survived the old place, so naturally we thought “let’s make things worse.” 😂

Welcome to The New Location Apocalypse — where the walls are crumbling, the candles are probably haunted, the furniture has questionable intentions, and somehow the music is still the safest thing in the building. 🖤🤣

This Monday, DJ Minxy & Adrian Moon are taking over the chaos and bringing the light into the darkness — because if the apocalypse is happening anyway, we might as well have a bloody good dance while it does! 🔥🎧

Expect big tunes, bad decisions, questionable dancing, good people and just enough madness to make the end of the world feel like a party. 😈💃🕺

So grab your friends, grab your favourite apocalypse survivor, and come discover our new darker playground…

Same beautiful madness. New location. Bigger chaos. 💀🖤

📅 Monday 14th September
🕛 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM

More control, more flexibility, still a better OpenSim experience. 🧭

Some places are built.
TumbleTwig grew out of an imagination.

What began as a little idea for a world where frogs and fairies might live has slowly become one of my favorite places in 3HG.

Follow the winding paths through the flowers, wander beneath the old trees, peek inside the tiny woodland homes, or simply sit beside the water and listen to the fountains. You never quite know what you might discover around the next bend.

There are Frog Fairies, hidden places, treehouses, lily ponds, curious little creatures and plenty of small details created simply because they made us smile.

And when evening settles over TumbleTwig and the moon rises above the trees, the whole place seems to become just a little more magical.

TumbleTwig is open to the public at 3HG.

Come wander. Explore. Sit awhile.

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.

With deep sadness, we say goodbye to one of modern Greece's greatest musical icons. Giorgos Mazonakis brought a unique soul to modern Laïko and captured the spirit of a generation. Our deepest thoughts are with his loved ones during this painful time. Καλό Παράδεισο, Γιώργο. Αιωνία η μνήμη. May your memory be eternal.

migration begins! after about a year of running we're making some changes to assetd server. originally it stored assets in ipfs and kept local zstd compressed files on each region server. this burned up alot of drive space and 10 years down the road just isn't sustainable. So I'm getting rid of ipfs and storing all assets in s3 bucket. assetd pulls the assets on request, fixes broken ones if needed. with squid cache between assetd and opensim things are much faster. squid keeps current assets in ram for fast loading and stores less active assets in an optimized file structure. we can adjust the levels to increase ram and drive cache. i'm currently moving 2,583,234 assets into s3 bucket. after that's complete we just need to restart the grid, shouldn't be any downtime during the transfer though. on dev server assets load super fast. so we hope to have a better experience on holoneon grid in the next few days.
