New Release: Arcadia's Cargo Pants.

This one is for the guys:

I made a pair of cargo pants, ideal for informal attires.

It comes rigged for the system avatar and Roth, it comes in three variants: long, medium and short and in seven colours including white for if you want to tint it.

Each object contains the textures used for further customization.

You can find this new release at the main store or the satellite store at Wright Plaza.

Happy Friday!

I have put down teleporters on my region, more to follow. This is what opensim is supposed to be, for everyone to share. My first 2 volunteers are Weltraumbahnhof and Avitron. Yes you heard right... one of them is Alex's place ... let the troll drama begin.... rofl

Product Update: OS Collar AO

The OSCollar AO has been updated to 7.0.1, you can get your copy at the first floor of the main shop (or second floor if you're from USA).

Also now there's a drivable demo of the Adams-Farwell Series 6 car at the hangar next to the runway.

Happy Tuesday!

WOW Such an interesting conversation with Ubit, and then a fascinating tour of a region on AMV. Huge group, and we (barely) broke anything! Altho I think I may have to pay for Kelso's dry cleaning. Grass is such a tricky stain to get out.

Those of you with Blender should add the Sketchfab addon. It saves steps from hopping from one website to Blender. With the addon is adding a sketchfab library to your Blender desktop. I have been using it to import high heels for my mesh avatars. It has been fun!

Arcadia Shop presents: The Lazy Stream.

As some of you may know, I've the kind of personality that enjoys social contact but it takes a huge deal of energy to do so, leaving me happy but completely exhausted. In other words I'm an introvert.

Of course, I'm not the only one! There's many of us around and for you, dear introvert I came up with The Lazy Stream.

Every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday at 5 PM Grid time I'll live mix a style of music.

Ballad Monday: only ballads, slow, romantic songs.
Tuesday: It can be either rock and rock & roll or funky / jazzy + some dance.
Wednesday: I'll mix either slow pop or dance oldies or reggae.
Thursday: dance or EDM or fast oldies.
Saturday: trance caturday.

This program will vary a bit every week and will be played at the hidden disco at my store so you can come to dance...
BUT!
You can also access the stream directly from your web browser: http://207.244.232.104:7950/stream so you can listen to the music, very away from those pesky social interactions.

You can chair dance, you can be lazy: hence The Lazy Stream.

Some considerations:

I'm mixing live so errors can and will happen.
The Lazy Stream lasts one hour only from 5 PM to 6 PM grid time, I don't want to monopolize people's time.
It always ends with one specific outro song, if you hear that song you'll know the stream is ending.
And finally the link above exists only when I'm streaming, otherwise nothing will come up if you click on it.

I may add a reminder at the events part of the day's style but I won't spam you on the main time line, perhaps once a week I'll present you the weekly program, but that's it, I dislike the permanent event spam, so ... I won't do it myself!

Wish me luck, and I hope that you like the music I'll play.

Oh, today's is Dance Thursday.

New Release: Arcadia's Panda Hoodie.

This took me a while to make, it's a release for girls: a Panda Hoodie.

It comes in two versions: with the hoodie and down.

It comes in three models: Flat chested, regular chest and big breasts.
But it's also fitted mesh so it will vary according to your shape sliders too.

It comes for two kind of avatars: System avatar and Ruth 2 v.4.

While I don't support athena I've seen it wore and it fits too, but I can't guarantee a perfect match.

It includes all the textures for the hoodie and the alpha layer inside each hoodie object.

Enjoy!

Have a great week! I modified "the abandoned church " a bit and put different items together.. Now you have a lava tongue entrance. Inside are the boxes with tons of Autumn and Halloween stuff. Keep healthy!

Did you know?

I've a set of grand art deco lamps. Personally I believe that the style dress any house with an elegance that only the empire style can match (google it and fall in love with the empire style hehe).

My set comes in two versions, fully automatic to rez and forget and manual with options of different intensities and colours. It has two models, a wall mounted one inspired in art deco theatres and the ceiling mounted lamp inspired in grand train terminals.

Happy Friday (yay Friday!).

Thanks to @Fred Beckhusen, and @Roland Francis for letting us celebrate Lord of the Rings week on their wonderful grids

I was asked how did I create the Sunflower. I use Photoshop 3d. I wrote this article as to how it is accomplished https://www.hypergridbusiness.com/2020/05/how-to-create-3d... The shells are fun to create too!

New Release: Arcadia's Chest.

I have already a chest in the shop, I never featured here because it was one of the first objects I made for Open Grid and it's primitive, it looks ok but it's cumbersome as it's two separate objects and that's unacceptably uncomfortable.

So I decided to make a new one, more ornate and slightly worn by time. It will match a medieval sim or a house that holds antiques.

You can open and close it and store small objects inside... and avatars!

Yep, this is an implementation of SFPoser, it's all controlled by it, so click and go to Options to open and close the chest but also to RLV capture an avatar and make it stay inside the chest for a while.

It features custom sounds, poses, textures and mesh and as always you can find all the textures stored in the contents tab of the lid.

Happy Tuesday!

Did you know?

Halls are tricky, those little spaces (or big ones) that connects a multitude of living spaces houses, which only function is to redirect transit. Do you fill it with frames and little tables?

Will you -ever- sit on those little armchairs?

Well I'm of the opinion that you can fill those spaces easily... with light! Lightning is paramount and so let me show you my art deco hall light.

It's fully automatic and it comes with two different textures, a brand new looking one, for a pristine presentation and a worn out one for a moody ambient. You rez it and forget, it casts a projector light so the ceiling won't be illuminated and since it's one single mesh object you can resize it at your convenience, it's all about options.

Happy Saturday! (Caturday! (do you remember that?)).

New release: Arcadia's Glasses.

To celebrate my new RL glasses I've decided to make a pair for everyone.

They're simple, un-rigged glasses for boys and girls with a nifty colour change script, just click on the glasses to make them match your outfit.

Boys have six colour choices and girls have seven (because pink has to be an option!).

It's a single object so you can resize it to make them fit perfectly to your avatar.

Also please read the manual to get tips about editing an attachment,

The textures are included inside the object for your mod convenience.

Happy Sunday!

Hello!

If you ever need a little script utility that parses an HG name and "clean" it up from the regular format of "name.surname @grid.com:port" leaving only "name" and "surname", feel free to take a copy of this https://opensimworld.com/library?view=101

I just uploaded it, if you have suggestions just let me know.

Happy Monday!

As you may know OSG is moving their asset infrastructure to a new and more reliable datacenter. To do so it was necessary to copy a massive amount of data from the old servers to the new ones, this process begun months ago and it's almost done.

We're at the last leg now! Now they're transferring old assets and for a month you will notice (or not) that assets (notably notecards and old textures) won't be available in your inventory.

This is a transient thing, do NOT trash those, just wait for a month, they'll be accessible again.

In other words: old assets in your inventory that you haven't open in years won't be available for a month or so.

This will NOT affect whatever is rezzed on your sims.

New Release: Arcadia's Disco Lights

I have something for your dancing place today, it's a ring frame with disco lights and lasers.

It features custom animations (the lights/lasers are animesh) for smooth movements, the lasers can emit red, blue and a multicolour spread type of rays, and the whole ring can rotate too, so you can make movement patterns that matches your music.

Please read the manual this object requires your sim to be able to run the function osMessageObject.

Happy Sunday!

Did you know?

There's a small object that will make the life of the rope bunnies and bondage enthusiasts easier: The Wall Ring.

It's a tiny object that you can rez everywhere to attach the lockguard chains system, the ring itself is unscripted, light and a single piece of mesh so you can resize it at your convenience.

It can be place everywhere and it's a convenient anchor point for leashes, ropes and other particles.

Happy Monday!

I created "Decorating Doves" when Freda Frostbite asked me to decorate her venue one year. Doves carrying different ornaments and ribbon when placed about look as if they are doing the decorating, it is a beautiful effect. I have created a few for you to add, please create your own ideas using doves to decorate, it really is lovely. Can be found in the foyer of Monentes Jewelry continuum.outworldz.net:8002:Monentes Jewelry

Did you know?

The XVII century bubonic plague that wiped 1/3 of the population of Europe was a horrendous time for doctors, who at the time believed in the miasma theory: They thought that the air contained some substance that carried diseases.

To prevent contagium they used these long beaked masks, it's purpose was to isolate the doctor from the miasma and to help with the odour from the bodies he had to work with, for that reason they used the beak to store aromatic herbs, some sort of Vic vapour rub, nightmare version.

Of course in time the masks lost part of it's dark reputation and today is part of costumes and alternative fashions.

My mask is a single mesh piece, not rigged, so you can resize it to adapt it perfectly to your own avatar. (Top hat not included, that one comes with the Monowheel, so get that if you want to wear the combo in the picture).

Happy Tuesday!

Did you know?

There's certain objects that as inconspicuous as they look they're actually so useful it's almost impossible to not have several copies of it around.

One of those was a fortunate accident, the round table. It was a small table I did out of necessity for a booth in an event, it was meant to be discarded... and turns out to have been one of the most popular objects I've ever made.

This is a single mesh object, so you can resize it at your convenience, it's unscripted (what do you expect a table to do lol), and there's nothing else to say about it and yet it fits most aesthetics and it's super useful to hold other decorations you may want to highlight.

Life gives surprises sometimes =)

Happy Thursday!

Texture refresh: Arcadia's Chest

Some people reported me that the chest I made 6 months ago lost it textures (they went blank), so I re-uploaded them and re-set the chest.

If you see the chest suddenly blank you can get a fresh copy at the shop or the mini shop at Wright Plaza.

Also the objects contains all the texture in the lid's contents, just edit, click on edit linked and click on the lid of the chest to see the textures.

Happy Wednesday!

New Release: Arcadia's Steampunk Light Post

This time I bring you a street lamp that will look great in your victorian / steampunk sim.

It's an incandescent gas lamp, in fact when it's on you can hear the hissing natural gas running. The flame heats the ceramic net (supported by a tungsten-nickel substrate) making it glow several orders of magnitude brighter than any regular flame, casting a warm light for the streets of your sim.
(Believe it or not, it's based on a very real technology).

It's two prims and one script, the script can control as many lamps as you want so it won't lag you, set it up is really simple but please read the manual!

And of course, all the textures are included in the object.

Happy Thursday!
