An Art Hive is a community art studio that welcomes everyone as an artist. From an art pop-up in a local library to a community studio or gallery, at its heart, an Art Hive is about inclusion, respect and learning. It's a welcoming place to talk, make art and build communities. Responding in creative ways to things that matter.

The tool isn't the standard. Accuracy is.

And this issue existed long before AI.

Before AI, I used RhinoGold to create studio renders of my jewelry. Those renders often looked considerably better than the jewelry could look inworld at the time—not because the product was different, but because professional rendering gave me control over lighting, reflections and the environment.

Virtual worlds don't have natural sunlight. What we see is rendered by software, and the final appearance depends on the viewer, graphics settings, lighting, environment settings and the technology available at the time.

Then PBR came along, and suddenly materials such as gold could look dramatically more realistic inworld—for people using a PBR-capable viewer with the appropriate settings.

That's an important point: there are many variables affecting what any individual visitor sees.

Two people can stand in front of exactly the same object or in exactly the same region and have a noticeably different visual experience because of their viewer, graphics settings, lighting and hardware.

So expecting an advertisement to reproduce exactly what every person will see on their own screen isn't a reasonable standard.

The reasonable standard is that the advertisement fairly represents the region or product being advertised.

AI doesn't change that.

What works for one creator may not work for another. What looks good on one person's system may not look identical on someone else's. That's always been part of creating for virtual worlds.

Nobody gets to declare, “My AI use is responsible, therefore mine is acceptable, but I don't approve of yours.”

Creators don't need permission from other creators to use new technology.

If you don't like AI, don't use it.

If you do use it, use it responsibly.

And if you're wondering whether my AI advertisement represents Tumbletwig, there is a wonderfully simple way to find out:

Come visit Tumbletwig and see it for yourself.

That is the comparison that matters.

🔧 Destination Guide — v1.1.2 Patch 🔧

Quick but important fix this round — if you've got any destinations with a space in the region name (like "Axiom Shipyard" or "Barefoot Lands"), this one's for you.

🐛 What was broken:
Saving a SLURL was silently stripping the URL-encoded space (%20), turning a working teleport link into a broken one — even though it looked correct when you typed/pasted it in. Clicking VISIT would launch the viewer but fail with "No regions found with that name."

✅ What's fixed:
SLURLs now save exactly as entered, encoding and all. Teleports to multi-word region names work correctly again.

⚠️ If you're upgrading: any existing destination with a space in its region name needs a quick re-save (open it in the admin, hit Update) to pick up the fix — no need to delete and recreate anything.
