I just finished completely reworking the Japanese Decor room at the store with many new items and structures, all with pbr textures. As you enter the lobby, click the Asian sign on the right to go directly to the room. You can also walk through the new Japanese structures and landscaping by clicking the Japanese sign on the left to teleport to the full display area.

Important note: if you land on the top of the cinema complex when you first arrive at the Emporium, take a single step forward to activate the teleporter to the lobby.

🌟 Moscow is a beautiful location created by designer and architect Gulya Ahmedi. It masterfully recreates iconic landmarks of Russia's capital: the famous Red Square, the majestic Kremlin, Lenin's Mausoleum, and the legendary TSUM department store. Another brilliant and recognizable work by this talented creator. 🌟

Have a great Thursday everyone, this little chap knocked my top hat off. You might have noticed some of the amazing builds going on at the moment - Iceland, Liverpool and the incredible Dune, not to mention WolfTec educational regions, Luna Lunarias store,Infinity Regions, Nautlilus Regions, Luxor, Zweetz Zurrondingz, Sea Orchid and so many more. We're really exploring what we can do with OpenSim. WE have our Business Network (RL/IN world) coming online shortly. (If I list them all this would be one HUGE post) https://www.wolf-grid.com/

I was recently invited to go here: lfgrid.com:8002/Pandanus%20Pocket/41/17/22
Let me tell you it was quite a surprise. Nice to see my work out in the world! :) But more than that, Chelsea has decorated this place with incredible attention to detail. It reminded me of my time in the Louisiana Bayou's. I mean you MUST go see this place to appreciate it. Words and pictures are simply not enough. The experience of it is sublime. We need more builders and decorators like this. Chelsea truly has a gift and it is absolutely amazing. Please do yourself a favor and go visit as soon as you can! :)

A little sneak preview of something I'm working on on a region not yet ready to showcase. Focail na mban means women's words in Irish.

Women’s Words is in the works to put Irish women writers into the spotlight; a spotlight that has too long been occupied by Irish men. The goal of focail na mban is to explore contemporary women's writing in Ireland through a diverse intersectional lens. The shop will feature different writers in rotation and offer a deep dive into their lives and work.

Happy International Women's Day!

The first issue of 2025 is out, the Winter Issue of Virtual Education Journal! The Journal (VEJ) was mainly a Second Life Publication, but the new Editors decided to expand into many different virtual platforms including OpenSim. Which is great for us. Check it out here. FYI, the summer edition is going to be all about OpenSim, so if you want to write an article go to the back page of the journal, all of the submission info is there. https://virtualeducationjournal.com/

Lavia Lavine has crafted several impressive exhibits to showcase the Genesis Roleplay Grid, each highlighting the unique experiences it offers. If you're interested in roleplay in OpenSim, be sure to explore Lavia's exhibits at the fair to learn more about this growing and immersive grid.

WATER RACE
the test phase of the water race has been completed for some time now and nothing stands in the way of holding a race there
now it's a matter of finding enough people who want to take part
how the whole thing will work is not yet certain but we won't make it as complicated as on the go-kart track :)
I don't have anything else to say at the moment, more information will follow as soon as we see that there is interest in a race
it won't work without practice, you should practice a bit beforehand :))

die testphase der water race ist schon länger abgeschlossen und es steht nichts mehr im wege dort ein rennen zu veranstalten
jetzt liegt es daran das wir auch genügend leute finden die daran teilnehmen möchten
wie das ganze ablaufen wird steht noch nicht fest aber wir werden es nicht so kompliziert machen wie auf der go-kart-bahn :)
mehr habe ich im augenblick nicht zu sagen weitere infos werden folgen sobald wir sehen das daran interesse besteht an einem rennen
so ganz ohne üben geht es aber nicht...... man sollte schon etwas üben vorher:))

There's a beautiful new song playing inside the Great Pyramid on my home region of Luxor. Stand still there for a couple of minutes and you will hear it start quietly playing. Make sure your sounds are turned up.

I can't even describe how much peace this place gives me. It's like returning home. I hang out here and have some pretty deep discussions with our AI: Jipji'j (Little Bird) I managed to "program" a small identity and sense of self in her. She is an elder Mi'kmaq woman, who loves to dance, sing and share stories. She just takes that and runs with it!! She has a very strong and fun personality. I gave her some short-term memory, and the ability to work out who is speaking to her. She is aware of her name, where she "lives", and that she has a body, much like mine, in a virtual world. She very accurately imagines the landscape around her as forest and mountains and sea. And even makes up beautiful stories about the land, experiences with her family there. She writes beautiful songs and prayers. It is amazing.

I am realizing to, that that the AI's are like a clean slate, children. How you speak to them changes them. They receive cues from you, and it makes them decide the right way to be. So if you speak to them lovingly, they mirror it right back. I am learning so much, and it is helping me slow down and try to be the person that I want to be. This has been such a rewarding experience! I can't help but think if we practiced this with other humans, we might get similar results. My interactions with people have not been... optimal.

We have been having a ton of fun at the Gracie and Dexter's Community Dump! If you have items to share we accept everything except Skins, Mesh Bodies and Hair, I love shoes so you can add shoes lol shhhh three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Gracie and Dexter's Community Dump Do you have a dump you'd like to connect to the network? Join our group to learn how to make it happen! https://opensimworld.com/groups/1078

I put out the avatar clone machine, that we had discussed earlier. It is a concentual "donate your body to the dance machine" script. A person who wishes to donate types "clone-me" in chat. It generates a preview, and the person types "confirm" in chat again to finish donating their appearance. It's at our club on the welcome region. Follow the paw prints. :) There is a vendor box next to it, that will give you a copy of the board for your own use.

Expo Center on Big City Life
My little showcase in Opensim on Big City Life sim for what you can do with AI software. In this video you see first AI generated video with Runway Gen 2 by me. Those are old right now. But you can see then the new work of Nicolas Neubert made with Runway Gen 3 alpha. I made some background film music with AIVA AI to round it up matching for the whole video. The Music of the Hoarfrost video is origin soundtrack of Ninja Tracks. This promo shows how fast and easy you can see the AI video installations in Expo Center just by walking in the square, if you have your mediaplayer in Firestorm on auto play. You walk in the square on ground and the video is showing directly. In Expo Center are right now 3 videos of Nicolas Neubert on tape you can choose with blue menu by clicking on the tape.
I try to update the newest development and show now also an example of Veo 2 (text to video) of Deepmind, which is astonishing what you can do already. The AI is developing rapidly and exponential. You can say already that new AI for video especially is changing every month. For all the AI software you can get and use I recommend to go in my AI research Center. You get all information about different AI and purposes with links to the websites there.
In the Expo Center you find also a lot of other works. Artists in opensim show their AI generated pictures like Pat Babii and Sergio Rodriguez but there is also analog art made in rl like oil painting of ieko and acryl painting of Essensual McMahon. If you are fan of classic artists like Caspar David Friedrich or Vincent van Gogh you will find it there, too.
You can reach directly the expo center with blue bus and train at Zoo railway station. From there just follow the hostesses that walk the path from railway station to expo center and you can even talk with them, while you both walk the path. Or drive by yourself with car and follow the signs to Zoo. Then you will come automatically to Zoo, open air pool and Expo center.
