Well, it's been a while since I had a new release. I've been RL busy, busy and getting the garden ready for winter.
I know it's a little early for this one but before we know it the holidays will be upon us! I've put out pointsettias with and without pots in the Xmas section of the shop. They come in Red, Pink and White. Textures and all variations are included in the box.

FLEETWOOD Hill Plates
Create Your Own Landscape – Flexible, Detailed, and Exactly the Way You Imagine It!

Anyone who has ever designed a large landscape in OpenSim knows the challenges: Traditional sim terrain offers limited possibilities, and conventional mesh terrain plates often have a problem with their textures. When the plates are enlarged, their textures are enlarged as well. Grass suddenly looks enormous, and the landscape loses its natural appearance.

With the FLEETWOOD Hill Plates, a whole new world of landscape design possibilities opens up!

Whether you envision rolling hills, winding hiking trails, expansive valleys, or idyllic lakes – create your own landscape using freely combinable mesh terrain plates without permanently modifying the original sim terrain.

Two Texture Layers – Countless Design Possibilities

What makes the Hill Plates special is their combination of two linked texture layers.

The lower plate features a detailed, baked PBR material that gives the terrain its original surface appearance.

Above it sits a second plate with a traditional Blinn texture, offering additional possibilities for customizing the appearance of your landscape.

This allows you to combine grassy hills with rocky terrain underneath, for example, or create entirely different types of landscape surfaces.

Automatic Texture Tiling – No Manual Adjustments Required!

One of the standout features is the fully automatic texture tiling of the upper plate.

Enlarge or reduce your Hill Plates as you wish: The texture tiling automatically adjusts to the size of each individual terrain plate.

Blades of grass remain blades of grass instead of suddenly turning into giant plants just because you enlarged a terrain plate.

There is no need to calculate texture repetitions or manually readjust tiling values. The system takes care of everything for you.

This makes designing large landscapes much more convenient and ensures a consistent texture scale, even across terrain plates of different sizes.

One Slider, Many Different Surfaces

Would you like to see more grass? Or would you prefer to highlight the rocky PBR surface?

With the adjustable transparency of the upper plate, you decide how strongly the two texture layers are combined.

From a fully visible grass texture to subtle blends and the original PBR surface, a wide variety of effects is possible.

At 100% transparency, the upper plate becomes invisible, revealing the complete PBR material underneath.

This allows you to change the appearance of your landscape without having to create new meshes.

Your Landscape, Your Textures!

The Hill Plates are not limited to the included textures.

Simply replace the texture on the upper plate with your own grass, sand, soil, snow, or stone texture.

Automatic tiling works with your own textures, too!

By using seamlessly repeatable textures, you can create a wide variety of landscape types and give neighboring terrain plates a consistent texture scale.

Combine Freely and Make Changes Anytime

The Hill Plates are freely placeable objects.

You can move, rotate, scale, and combine them to create larger landscapes. Mix different hills, shape valleys, create pathways, or build a secluded lakeside landscape.

Want to change something later? No problem!

Unlike traditional terraforming, you do not need to reshape the actual sim terrain. You can rearrange your landscape at any time, replace individual elements, or completely redesign the entire area.

Thanks to automatic texture tiling, even terrain plates of different sizes can be used while maintaining a consistent texture scale.

The possibilities range from small decorative landscape elements to large, individually designed regions.

The Highlights at a Glance

Two combined texture layers: baked PBR material and a traditional Blinn texture.

Fully automatic texture tiling of the upper plate, even when resizing.

No manual calculation or adjustment of tiling values required.

Adjustable transparency for individual combinations of both texture layers.

Full visibility of the PBR material when the upper plate is set to 100% transparency.

Use your own textures – with automatic tiling included.

Freely movable, rotatable, and scalable mesh landscapes.

Combine different terrain plates to create unique landscapes.

Redesign your landscape at any time without permanently modifying the original sim terrain.

So we have decided to give public access to our WolfStorm web viewer for OpenSim. It's in Alpha (after a couple of years of work) - this is a complete rewrite of Firestorm as a Web Application with a rust proxy.

https://youtu.be/Bzl_sChQJEU

Enjoy - and be kind if you can. The last time I talked about it, people were so horrible that I just took the video down.

Note you can login with a Wolf Avatar and teleport to other grids. This is because if you could put in your grid and username and password WE COULD CAPTURE IT!!!!

Like this post to have your Opensimworld name added to the digital THANK YOU card we are making for Linda Kellie TRIBUTE.

I need HELP! From my blog:
The Jester is in! The lights are on, the NPCs STAGED; just itching to flip the switch... the switch that tickles your inner child until guffaws echo through the metaverse with the cacophony of a tropical maelstrom!

In this TRIBUTE to 'THE LEGEND' We will shatter your sense of fashion and test your funny bone to its limits!

We have not crowned this TRIBULATION yet, and here is the secret: we cannot, not alone. Linda Kellie gave freely; Dismayland honors her by asking the same of you. We need your poison, your love, your wreckage. Memorabilia. Down-cycled artifacts. Streams. Talent. Even prayer. The scene you see above is hungry. It wants your upcycles. It wants your voice. It wants your pain dressed as celebration. Because that is what we are doing here: giving turpitude a halo, wrapping cruelty in gratitude, forcing joy through the pedagogy of suffering until it comes out the other side as something true.

'The Ghost of Linda Kellie' sanctioned this message of conscription. CHIP IN. STREAM. UP-CYCLE. The Jester is watching. Apathy cloaked as virtue never survives! PLEASE GIVE if you can.

How sad has it become if a closed grid starts making avatars on other (our) grids, and contact renters on our grid to come there.
You really have to make it like that?

Unfortunately renters of our grid were contacted and were promised free land if they would join.
sure, free land is nice but if you have a pay system and the coins are expensive ...lol
who is framing who .....
My renters are smart enough not to fall for it, and everybody is free to give free land
But i would never try to get renters like this....so please grow up and get a life.

sorry had to share this.

A New Chapter Ahead

After taking some time away, we have been giving a lot of thought to the future. Due to the many requests, messages, and words of encouragement from so many people, we are seriously considering making a return—with a fresh outlook and a stronger vision.

To be clear, this is not a reboot, nor is it anything like what one negative individual suggested in a previous comment.

What happened did hurt us, but it did not break us. If anything, it made us stronger, wiser, and more determined than ever.

This may be the beginning of an exciting new chapter, and we look forward to sharing more when the time is right.

Keep an eye on future notices... there may be some exciting news ahead!

For years I relied on the animations and systems created by others, never imagining I would one day be creating my own. This week that changed.

I have successfully created my first custom surfboard system, complete with a new board script and original animations. The project is still a work in progress as I continue fine-tuning movements, adjusting timing, and creating additional tricks and poses, but the foundation is now fully working.

This achievement marks the realization of a longtime dream. A huge thank you goes to my friend Ferd Frederix (@ferdfrederix), who pointed me to the correct Avastar tutorial and helped me finally understand the animation workflow. Once everything clicked, I was able to create, export, and test my own animations in OpenSim.

Over the coming weeks I will be refining the animations, creating new tricks, and improving the overall surfing experience. When the project reaches the next stage, Ferd and I plan to publish a complete how-to guide through Outworldz, along with the animations I created, so others can learn the process and begin creating their own custom animations as well.

It's exciting to move from simply using content to actually building the tools and animations myself. This is only the beginning, and I can't wait to see where the next wave takes me.

💋 BK-Mode fuer Xara – Sonne? Nur Deko.

Wenn Xara auftaucht, wird selbst der Himmel rot vor Aufregung.

Hier wird nicht gebräunt, hier wird geblendet.
Ein Schritt, ein Blick – und die Strandbar vergisst, was sie servieren wollte.

Xara spielt nicht Sommer – sie ist der Grund, warum er bleibt.

XARA Petite **„Diese Looks tun nicht so, als wären sie hier, um zu gefallen.
Sie sind hier, um die Straße wachzurütteln.“**

Sie laufen nicht – sie passieren. Einfach so.

Wer daneben steht, merkt schnell: Das hier ist kein Trend. Das ist eine Ansage.

ANNOUNCEMENT:
working on my latest animesh roaming critters, I found myself in a predicament:
script load on sim would add up crazy with my intended, dozens of animeshies roaming, single, in flock,etc;
I've spent a hidious amount of time to overcome this bottleneck, and....guess what: I'm so close I can smell it ☺
Even more: its no longer 1 roaming and 1 anim script< I combined em into one clean - ZERO ! - lag version.
zero lag?....yes, Ive tested it to the bone:
effectively, script updates 1x per second, so its negligable in terms of impact on any angle;
I have now some 50+ roaming critters in ZweetZ: in the old state, that would lead to some 200 script events per second, or more....
With the new script....its between 5 and 10 in Statistics Bar, but thats the other scripts used in the sim, not the animals:)
and, of course, as far as I can tell now, I could another 50 without my server or sim give a blink!
I'm working hard on finalising it for my shop- unfortunatly, Im depending on chatgpt.....and he drives me bonkers with his hallucinations.
But, Persistence pays off......if you find it hard to believe, do visit my sim and head to the pond in centre of forest.....and after that, leave me review:)
P.S: the development and testing of lowlag script was done with default moving. That last step, upgrading it to KFM ( Key Framed Motion), prooved to be hard....but I got it working. The critters u see in the forest ( and shop) are with the default, but, the swan swimming in the pond, is the first with KFM !. Why kfm? It m,akes for a much smoother motion, no jerks etc . A bit more fine tuning required, then I'll post here when the new ones are available in my shop.

Working on a V8.1 of the OpenSIM WEATHER SYSTEM - still doing some tests, working ok so far. On this version I will add the "LIGHTHOUSE ADDON".. so. light beam turns on automatically at nights. And also, if weather condition is foggy or similar, not only the EEP will change but a fog horn will be played once each 90 seconds.
