Want to bring an animated GIF into your OpenSim world?

Gif2SL by Gonta Maltz is a small, free Windows utility that converts an animated GIF into a sequential PNG texture sheet that can be animated on a prim.

You can use Gif2SL to create swimming fish, crawling ants, animated signs, and other moving effects. Once you understand how it works, there are a lot of fun possibilities for bringing extra life and movement into a region.

How to use Gif2SL:

Download Gif2SL here:
https://outworldz.com/Secondlife/posts/gif/Create-Gif-in-S...
Open the program and click Load GIF.
Select the animated GIF you want to convert.
If your GIF has a transparent background, check Transparency so the alpha channel is preserved.
Click Output.
Gif2SL converts the animation into a single PNG sprite sheet containing the animation frames.
The output filename includes the horizontal frames, vertical frames, and frames-per-second information needed for the animation.
Upload the finished PNG texture to your grid.
Place the texture into a prim along with the free animation script available from Outworldz.
The script calculates the frames and speed and plays your animation inworld.

That’s it!

Think beyond signs and screens. You can experiment with animals, insects, water effects, magical effects, moving decorations, animated displays, and whatever else you can dream up.

I’ve made swimming fish, crawling ants, flies, and animated signs with it. What will you create?

Gif2SL is free and available for Windows.

I have been building a huge area representing my family's homeland of the Acadian and Gaspe' Peninsulas in Canada. I told Sam about the huge wind farm in the wilderness of Gaspesie. So he started building the 18th century version of it with old windmills powering mysterious Acadian industry. :D

The Grid is about to Tilt !!
Club BlueFire is about to blaze to life...blues humming in the walls, neon smoke curling through the air, and nights built for soul fire and stories. Slow burn, smoldering heat that crawls under your ribs. BlueFire Square Mall opens right beside it, stitched with vintage charm, cozy corners, and that soft magic ready for wandering souls and late‑night treasure hunters.

Meanwhile, Rebel Boots Country Saloon is gearing up to stomp the Wild West awake. Cowboy Town is dusting off the boardwalk, tightening the bootstraps, and getting ready for rowdy nights, country thunder, and outlaw swagger. The storefronts are rattling as boots pound along each worn plank. Looks like the Wild West is gearing up for a full tilt stampede.

Fire in the Blues. Kicking up the Dust !!
Both Clubs Opening Soon !!!
Hold onto yourselves !!!

For those not aware, OSFest is now a fully Hypergrid festival where you can host events on your own grid or grab some space on the OSFest grid to exhibit or setup a store. Before OSFest in September, OSGrid tends to run its fundraiser which is why we didn't choose dates in that month. Following OSFest, Hypergrid International Expo will be in November then OSCC likely in December. Fall is busy on the Hypergrid with many other events happening so hopefully some of those will join in the fun with remote events instead of schedule conflicts so we can send them some avatars too Let's celebrate each other together. It's your OSFest!!
OSFest Performances and Dance Area for live music, DJs, comedy, readings, prose, fireworks, light shows, and burn events!

No fancy rules. No serious business. Just good music, good people, and Adrian behind the decks pretending he knows what he’s doing. 🤣

KHONSARA – Where Time Weds Eternity
There are places born merely to be observed, and others created to be experienced with the heart. On Khonsara, a jewel in the landscape of New Life Italy, the majesty of Ancient Egypt blends with the poetry of the unknown, held beneath the enchanting colors of a perpetual sunset that paints the sky in shades of rose, amber, and violet. Allow yourself to be carried away into a vivid atmosphere where every single stone, every reflection, and every shadow tells a story of passion, secrets, and mystery. What do we ask of you? Only a generous dose of creativity and imagination... everything else from the breathtaking architecture to the breathing nature has been crafted in meticulous detail to make your journey as realistic and profound as possible.
Sensory wonders awaiting you:
The Sunset Golden Glow: The imposing pyramid structures, crowned with golden apexes, capture the last rays of sunlight and illuminate the surrounding dunes, offering a breathtaking backdrop for your photography and moments of contemplation.
The Oasis along the Nile:
Stroll along the banks of the Nile, surrounded by lush palm trees, papyrus, and vibrant vegetation. The warm, calm waters reflect the soft light of torches lit at dusk, creating hypnotic play of light.
Ancient Temples & Sacred Halls:
Cross the threshold of majestic colonnades carved with ancient hieroglyphs. Walk among burning braziers where the deep, enveloping scent of incense merges with the night breeze, revealing intimate corners, secret sanctuaries, and unforgettable views.
Sailing Under the Stars:
Step aboard a refined vessel and navigate the waterways by the light of the first stars, lulled by the gentle lapping of the water and the distant melody of golden flutes.
The Infinity of the Desert:
Beyond the temple walls, pause to contemplate the silence and vastness of the golden sand, where time seems to stand still to offer you the ultimate escape from the real world.
Here, every moment turns into a cherished memory an indelible frame of a story of love and adventure without boundaries.
Treat yourself to an unforgettable journey into myth. We await you on New Life Italy!

Moonstar Community Notice

United By The Stars, Defined By Our Light
We want to share an important update with everyone. After learning from multiple visitors and grid staff that the name Darkheart is associated in OpenSim with another group known as Darkheart Playground—a group carrying a reputation for inappropriate and unacceptable content—we have chosen to fully separate ourselves from that name.

We stand firmly against everything Darkheart Playground represents, on any grid where they exist. Their reputation does not reflect our values, our culture, or the safe, creative environment we have built.

To ensure our community is never mistaken for that group, we have officially changed our identity to Moonstar.

All sim materials, branding, images, songs, and designations are now being updated. When you visit us in OpenSim, you will arrive at the Moonstar region and be welcomed into Moon Valley, our new home and creative center.

This is a positive new chapter for us — a moment of clarity, unity, and pride.
We move forward together, United By The Stars, Defined By Our Light.

Mark your calendars! A lot is happening at Electric Vortex on Tenth Dimension Grid. Oct 14th Safari/OSFest tour of the region. October 18th it is going to be a fun party with a few surprises. We can't wait to see you all!

I was creating a Landing Area for New People from Sinespace who have never been in Opensim and I thought I would post the most basic that most people look over for Mesh Clothing. Just my thoughts. BOM is back with some Mesh avatars.

Another example of how it looks like when one can paint your own texture on SIM ground.Mountains on background are part of the sim, terraformed. the one at bottom, mesh. You don`t even see the difference anymore.
