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.

Northern lights over Tromsø sky. Only to be seen for those using WolfViewer or WolfStorm viewer though.
Have adapted my EEP addon from weather system using the customized WT lsl functions to make it show at nights from September to end of March.. (no prim or mesh used). Also did the same for the weather. Rain , snow, all generated automatically by the WT - synchronized to RL North Norway time.

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!

🖤 WE ARE BACK — SUBTERRANEA 🖤
You thought we were gone?
😂 Cute.
We’ve been hiding UNDERGROUND, charging the speakers, feeding the demons and arguing over who gets the better tunes.
This time we're bringing DJ Chocolate & Adrian Moon together for a proper subterranean takeover — and this one is all about NU DISCO. 🪩🔥
🍫 DJ CHOCOLATE — 11AM → 1PM
🌙 ADRIAN MOON — 1PM → 3PM
Expect funky basslines, disco grooves, shimmering synths, dirty little edits, deep house flavours and enough groove to make even the furniture start dancing. 🪩😂
Basically... disco went underground, got darker, got sexier and found a bassline.
📍 SUBTERRANEA
grid.virtual-worlds.zone:8002
Come for the music.
Stay because you’ve forgotten where the exit is. 😂
🖤 NU DISCO • DEEP GROOVES • UNDERGROUND ENERGY
🪩 MUSIC • PEOPLE • UNDERGROUND • AGAIN
WE ARE BACK. 🔥🔊

✨ XARA – Glamour mit einem frechen Funkeln ✨

Diese vier Ladies stehen da, als hätten sie gerade beschlossen, die ganze Stadt in eine persönliche Bühne zu verwandeln. Ihre Outfits? XARA pur – selbstbewusst, charmant, ein bisschen unverschämt und absolut bereit, jedes Schaufensterlicht in Konkurrenz zu schicken. Zwischen glänzendem Asphalt und Abendhimmel wirken sie wie eine kleine Gang, die genau weiß: Wenn wir auftauchen, wird’s glamourös.

Und natürlich hat jede ihren eigenen Charakter – von „Ich bin die Ruhe vor dem Fashion‑Sturm“ bis „Ich bin der Sturm“. Ein Hauch Drama, ein Schuss Humor, und so viel Stil, dass selbst die Straßenlaternen kurz überlegen, ob sie heller leuchten sollten. XARA zeigt hier nicht nur Mode, sondern Attitüde: Glamour, der Spaß macht.

Techno and Trance Vibes with Dj Adriana Darkheart & Dj Adrian Moon

„Reborn“ – ein Abend, an dem Stoffe Geschichten erzählen.

Diese Kollektion spielt mit Licht und Bewegung, als hätte jedes Kleid beschlossen, seine eigene Bühne zu betreten. Kein lautes Drama, sondern leise Eleganz, die sich selbst genügt. Die Farben wirken wie ein Gespräch zwischen Mut und Stil – und genau das macht sie lebendig.

Man spürt, dass hier niemand versucht, zu gefallen. Die Outfits tun einfach, was sie wollen: glänzen, fließen, auffallen – aber mit Haltung. Ein bisschen Ironie liegt in der Luft, als wollten sie sagen: „Ja, wir sind schön, aber wir wissen auch, dass das nicht alles ist.“

🪶 Gianni – Stil mit Charakter

Hier trifft Mode auf Persönlichkeit: Gianni bringt frischen Wind in den Kleiderschrank – ganz ohne übertriebene Posen. Ob lässig rebellisch, charmant verspielt oder einfach cool mit einem Augenzwinkern – diese Outfits zeigen, dass Stil keine Frage des Perfektionismus ist, sondern der Haltung.

Ein bisschen Freigeist, ein bisschen Humor und jede Menge Selbstbewusstsein – das ist Gianni. Für alle, die lieber auffallen, weil sie sie selbst sind, statt weil sie sich verkleiden. Und ja, barfuß in den Bergen sieht man hier einfach besser aus.
