Well, I am here to chew bubblegum and irritate the anti-AI troglodytes. And I am all out of bubblegum.

Recently, I saw someone post how people who use AI to make images are no talent morons. Fair enough. I accept that title. Mainly because...I dgaf what you think of me. However, I am always challenging this hot take.

I recently purchased Meshy to try to learn to make mesh. Yesterday, I tackled it in earnest. I had several AI apps create some images - Night Cafe, MidJourney, CoPilot, Designer. Part of a portal series I have worked on.

I asked CoPilot to alpha some of these for me. I only recently discovered it will do that. I have been doing it myself. Honestly, 90% of the time, CoPilot does a better job. I have just had to learn to talk to it.

I took one of these images and pulled it into Meshy. It is an AI image going into an AI mesh app. Meshy created a model of my portal. I pulled it down as a Blender compatible file and imported into Blender. I exported as collada.

It was a learning process. In the end, I took my original image, brightened and sharpened it, before creating the model. After I put it into blender, I got the texture map and brightened and sharpened that one, then put on that texture after upload. Attached is the portal/elemental gate I ended up with.

I used an AI image and uploaded into an AI app to do most of the editing. I changed the shading, vibrance, and sharpness in Corel. I used Blender to import /export.

I guess I am a no talent moron, not an artist. ;)

My point is: The anti-AI stance is gatekeeping of the highest form. It's absurd. Photography wasn't considered art until it was. Digital art was the same.

I really don't care if you ever consider what I do as art. Feel free not to look. And the gatekeeper is what keeps people from being creators more than anything else.

Many many thanks to Jimmy Olsen and Lavia Lavine for your coaching, patience, and teaching. Many thanks to Contessa LaCombe for her coaching and knowledge regarding texturing mesh. Many thanks to Lone Wolf for making that video that took away much of the fear of trying for me. It takes a community. Many thanks to everyone who encourages me to keep trying, failing, and trying again.

Van der Graaf Generator: Die dunklen Propheten des Progressive Rock

Im November 1967, während die Musikwelt von psychedelischen Klängen und Flower-Power-Romantik berauscht war, formierte sich an der Universität Manchester eine Band, die einen radikal anderen Weg einschlagen sollte. Van der Graaf Generator entstand aus einer Begegnung zwischen Peter Joseph Andrew Hammill, geboren am fünften November 1948 in Ealing, West London, und Chris Judge Smith, zwei Studenten, die mehr an den existenziellen Abgründen der menschlichen Existenz interessiert waren als an kommerziellen Erfolgsformeln.

Am Sonntag:
Herbst goes Tropicana – Die Nacht gehört uns (und unseren Hüften)! 🕺💃

Wer sagt, dass der Sommer vorbei ist? Wir sagen: Noch nicht mit uns! Also Sonnenbrille auf, Flip-Flops an und ab an den virtuellen Strand – denn wir feiern, als wären wir 25 (oder zumindest so beweglich wie unsere Avatare).

🌴 Palmen wackeln im Takt, die DJanes drehen auf, und die Cocktails sind garantiert kalorienfrei. 💃 Ob Tanzbar-Veteran oder digitaler Beachboy – hier kommt jeder ins Schwitzen (zur Not mit dem Ventilator).

Tip of the day:
If you use Nextcloud for backup your OpenSimulator data (OARs, databases, config files, etc.)…
👉 Don’t forget to empty the trash regularly!
I just found 1.6 TB in mine… my server is still crying 😂

Hidden beyond the reach of maps and memory, veiled by time and shadow, lies Pendle Hollow , a long forgotten realm where the land itself hums with ancient magic.secrets. Stir along the cobble streets where few have dared to seek, but those who do will find a place where beauty and darkness exist together. We welcome you to get lost in the accent maze with towering stone wall that sits at the front the gates of Pendle Castle. You will also find a forest with a winding path that weaves through the shadowy woods, cloaked in mist and moonlight , branches whispering secrets in the wind leading the way deeper into the unknown and suddenly it opens into a radiant, moonlit clearing. Here, in a perfect circle of wildflowers and glowing mushrooms, a witch coven!

Been happy with my weather system so I created one specially for my sims at EUROPA: no API called just simple script. it gives temperature in C, F and K (kelvin).. from inside and outside dome. Fits very well the thematic here! Thinking about releasing a copy at MAGABAGA MALL. unsure if someone would be interested though.

🎈 Tweenster Vibes: Für alle, die zwischen Kindsein und Coolsein pendeln – und dabei verdammt gut aussehen.

Diese Outfits sind nicht einfach nur Klamotten – sie sind Statements. Für Tweensters, die wissen, dass Style kein Alter kennt und dass man auch mit Rollerblades an den Füßen die Welt erobern kann.

Panel 1: Weiß wie Schnee, aber alles andere als brav. Das Puffy-Jacket sagt: „Ich bin flauschig, aber ich boxe mich durch.“

Panel 2: Rotes Shirt mit Attitude – weil man auch mit Jeans rebellieren kann.

Panel 3: Color-Blocking für die Unentschlossenen: Blau? Weiß? Grau? Warum nicht alles auf einmal – Hauptsache comfy und ready to roll.

Panel 4: Ganz in Weiß, aber nicht für die Kirche. Tracksuit-Mode für Tweensters, die schneller denken als Erwachsene reden können.

Panel 5: Rollerblades und Sneaker – das ist kein Entweder-oder, das ist ein „Ich mach, was ich will.“

Panel 6: Zwei Rucksäcke, zwei Persönlichkeiten: Der eine ist Patchwork-Chaos mit Herz, der andere ein Monster mit Hunger auf Abenteuer.

Und überall: Tweenster – klingt wie ein Geheimclub, sieht aus wie ein Modemagazin für die nächste Generation.

Für die Männer gibt’s auch mal wieder was Neues 😉
Neue Pieces von Gianni & Legacy – jetzt sichern, solange sie da sind!

There's something new for the men too 😉
New pieces from Gianni & Legacy – get yours now while stocks last!

I have made a bunch of cute Halloween decorations. They are all at the end of the shop near the water—free, Full Perm, and NOT prefect. :) I also made a couple of dragons, a red one and a white one that glistens in the sunlight. Can you find them? Lots of new things are coming soon!
