The new opensimworld HUD is out. This is a major update of the HUD. You can now instantly like a region and add to your bookmarks from in-world. As always you can access your bookmarks instantly and also go to the OSW page of the region that you are visiting. Also, you no longer have to worry about re-entering the HUD key. Go to our region to get it, along with the latest beacon.

We’ve been working on an app that uses ChatGPT to write the Blender scripts and generate mesh for OpenSim/Second Life, and we just hit a massive milestone.

This entire beach scene was built from scratch just by prompting the AI. No marketplace assets, no manual modeling—just pure AI generation.

Here is what it built:
🏖️ The Beach Hut: Fully detailed with perfect wall plates, a closed roof-to-gable junction, and steps.
🍹 The Tiki Cabana: Complete with a side palm tree, bamboo chairs, an interior table, and properly gathered curtains (no weird neck bows).
🌿 The Curved Planter: A beveled stone base with soil, bushes, and a sculpted tree.
🏄 The Details: Surfboards, a cooler, and beach chairs, all scaled correctly for a 1.8m avatar with no clipping.

We’ve been hammering the AI to check its own work—making sure there are no missing textures, no gaps at the roof line, and that the LODs are optimized so it won't lag the sim. It's finally looking absolutely perfect.

We aren't a custom build service; we are just building the ultimate tool to make creating OpenSim content easier. Seeing ChatGPT output this level of quality is insane to us.

What do you guys think? What kind of OpenSim builds would you want to generate with an app like this? Let us know below! 👇

added IAR create/download to IAR/OAR kiosk on this region Payments and Support. you can download your IAR and OAR files and upload IAR and OAR files. the system will only run two simultaneous jobs, so if you request an IAR or OAR it will get put in the queue. you can come back later, touch the kiosk and download your file. don't have to sit there waiting for it. :) the files only stick around on the server for at most 48 hours though.

also if you want you can verify the IAR and get a report using https://github.com/holoneon/iarverify

Samsara, The Beauty of Taking the Long Way

Sometimes the most beautiful places are the ones that visitors never get to see.

Samsara was never created to be explored in a hurry. Every winding path, every hidden corner, every quiet garden and peaceful resting place has its own story to tell. Some of the most beautiful spots are not marked on a map, nor will you discover them by simply teleporting from one destination to another.

They are waiting for those who take the time to wander.

I have always hoped that visitors would experience Samsara on foot, following its pathways, crossing its bridges, discovering little places they never knew existed. There is something special about turning a corner and finding an unexpected view, a peaceful sanctuary, or a small detail that was placed there with love and care.

During the time Samsara was under different management, certain areas became inaccessible because of strict access restrictions and a number of technical errors. Unfortunately, this meant that visitors were sometimes unable to explore parts of the region that were always meant to be enjoyed.

I am happy to say that these issues have now been resolved. Samsara is once again open for exploration, without those unnecessary restrictions standing in your way.

And so, I have one little request.

When you visit Samsara, please resist the temptation to use teleporters all the time. Take a walk instead. Follow a path simply because you are curious where it might lead. Stop for a moment, look around, listen to the surroundings and allow yourself to get a little lost.

You might discover something that has been there for years, patiently waiting to be noticed.

Samsara is more than a collection of beautiful buildings, gardens and landscapes. It is a place of memories, creativity, tranquility and countless hours of dedication. Every part of it carries something meaningful, including the wonderful creations left behind by those who are no longer with us.

Now that Samsara has returned home, I would love nothing more than to see people truly enjoying everything it has to offer.

There is no need to rush. There is no finish line.

Sometimes the most beautiful destination is the one you discover when you weren't looking for it.

Welcome back to Samsara, and please, take the scenic route.

With love,

Yana Dakota

Keeper of Samsara
