Neue Kleidung für Lara X und Gianni Signature Bodys eingetroffen.

New clothing for Lara X and Gianni Signature Bodysuits arrived.

Our lore / backstory
To avoid being killed in a vicious nightly attack, King Maximus, and his advisor Steve, had to leave the continent temporarily. What was ment to be only weeks, became years as they crashed in unexpected islands reefs.
They finally travelled back with trusted people to reconquer the Throne, and on arrival found something quite intriguing. The seven kingdoms were left without rulers, almost emptied, even from citizens!
The former King and his group investigated, one land after the other, questioned the rare livings still around. They discover that dragons came back in mass, and took over by the force of their claws and fire, into what is now called the Flaming Era.
Everyone will try to unite, finding ways to regain control of the kingdoms.

Aurora Starchild: OoOoh me encanta 12 days ago
Here, we have created a fence with different vantage points. I've done it in a texture that I'll share as well, but you are free to alter the textures and create any dimension you wish. Since these are our creations and are available for purchase in SL, we kindly request that you refrain from attempting to take them there. They'll be in the Saturday box, so enjoy yourself with them. They are mesh.
Hi folks, I have received a few questions today regarding the body skins I shared (i.e. do they work for EvoX, why no face, etc.)
There's a README inside the pack with some details but a few more details:

1. Body skins generally use the .skin type of item and they only contain Upper and Lower.
1.1. The textures are mapped to the body (especially in places like toes, butts, etc. - hence why those would look weird if used in another body).
2. Face skins generally use the .tattoo type, precisely so that you can 'bake/add' it ON TOP of the .skin of the body (of which [.skin] you cand only wear one).
2.2 The face textures are mapped to the head (Evo, EvoX or others).

In this sense, they are NOT connected (you could wear Legacy and....Catwa as head!), and seldom if ever do body skin come with a face skin (Have NEVER seen that, imagine they come with a Catwa head and you use EvoX, or come with Evo and you use a EvoX head!).

The can be 'related' as far as the skin tone goes (i.e. some body skin creators have a set of tones to which face skins creators try to adhere).
Either way, that's what the neck-fix included (only for EvoX, though) are for. If you can't 100% match the tone, add the fix or the face blender.

The .shape file is also important if you want the default shape. However, you can only wear ONE .shape.
If you 'add' it, it will replace the one you got with your face (and mess the shape).
So, in SL (or even here, if properly here), if you were to start a new avi you would get:

1. The shape [.shape] and eyebrows [.hair] that come with the head. Let's say EON EvoX = You can almost ditch these ones unless you are going with the 'demo'/free face skin that comes with the head.
2. The shape [.shape] that comes with legacy body = You can also almost ditch this one, unless you are going with the 'demo'/free body skin of the body.
3. The shape [.shape] and eyebrows [.hair] that come with the face skin. Let's say EROS (for EON EvoX) = These ones you keep, and will probably the ones you use.
4. The shape [.shape] that comes with the body skin. Let's say Jupiter Muscled TAN tone. = This you want to keep, but just for the values.

1 and 2 don't really have much 'value', they are: 'shape-you-can-use-if-you-dont-add-any-skins-from-creators'. EVEN if you wanted to stick to those, you would need to transfer the body shape values to the shape that come with the head.
ALWAYS combine them.
Why? Because the values (numbers) in the shape of the head are specific values that the face/head skin creator has added so that it looks like in the piiiicz.
Now, legacy creator couldn't possible know those...so if you rely on their shape of the head values...well...it will look BAD.
Body-values-on-head-shape is also because there are less amount of cells/numbers pertaining to body.

NOW, if you got yourself (hopefully) an additional face skin (eg. EROS) and body skin (eg. Jupiter Muscled TAN), you want to merge and use those two.
Why? Because the values relative to the head in EROS will make it look like in the pic, and the values relative to the body in Jupiter, will make it look like in the pic.

So:
- You add the shape of Jupiter just to take the number values on Body+Torso+Leg tabs.
- You switch into the EROS shape, and replace Body, Torso, and Legs with those values.

Result: Your face will look like in the skin pic you bought, and so will your body.

RECAP: .skin for body skins + .tattoo for face skins. Leverage neckblends. Ditch default body/head shapes. Use skin shape as basis, add body skin shape values.

Another flower that I love that I've not seen in Opensim is the Fuchsia, they're so pretty. Well I took a shot at making them and the original basket was over 900 prims but I fought with Blender and got it down to 39, which is still primmy but not so bad when you see the detail involved, and they make a great decoration for a porch or balcony or even in a window. I put them in a hanging basket and you can find them at the greenhouse in or garden center here at the mall. They are C/M/T and free, stop by and get your basket. Blessings and much love, Lavia

Marpil Grafenwalder: thank you very much!!! it is truly beautiful and the details are very well done ♥ 19 days ago

Imagine living in a house where you step out your back door and you are at the most amazing underwater world in Opensim! You always wanted to live next to the ocean, but somehow the underwater world was always missing. Instead of the usual backyard garden or patio, you’d have a direct connection to an oceanic paradise with more than 5,000 fish and animals.

You step in the water at your house and you are greeted by the soft sway of colorful coral reefs, schools of shimmering fish darting through crystal-clear waters, and the soothing sound of underwater currents. The vibrant sea life surrounds you, from playful dolphins and majestic sea turtles to curious jellyfish and exotic creatures you've only ever read about. This is now your back yard!

You could swim freely or explore in a variety of ways. Imagine taking a peaceful swim, discovering hidden underwater caves, or diving deeper to visit shipwrecks where you might uncover forgotten treasures. The world would be filled with endless opportunities for exploration, all from the comfort of your own home. Perhaps there’s even a stunning underwater garden filled with bioluminescent plants that glow in the dark or glowing creatures that light up the waters around you, creating an ethereal atmosphere.

For the first time, we are opening up our underwater worlds for 9 very lucky people who want to live there. There is an underwater home, a home with a cenote, a shack, a wreck and a few gorgeous homes. Although every house is different, the beauty of these homes begins when you step in the water. We are looking for residents who want to be active and make this their main home. These rentals are free....but we do not want land collectors, we want people who want to become a part of our community.

Just go to the Reef at friends grid and there is a large black tp board which will let you look at the houses in this very special location.

Christmas-Advent-Markt
Stellen Sie sich Folgendes vor: ein Wunderland im Herzen eines malerischen Stadtplatzes, mit verschneiten Wegen und funkelnden Lichterketten, die verspielt in der frischen Winterluft tanzen. Der Duft gerösteter Kastanien liegt in der Luft, die Kastanien sind tatsächlich heiß, eingebettet in kleine Papiertüten, die knistern, wenn man sie Ihnen reicht, und ihren nussigen, gerösteten Duft verströmen. Sie stecken sich eins in den Mund und es ist eine Symphonie aus Geschmack und Wärme, ein herrlicher Kontrast zu der Kälte, die Ihre Nase erstickt, und dem süßen Duft von Karamell
Die frisch zubereiteten Crêpes brutzeln mit Zucker überzogen und jeder Atemzug ist ein
Ein köstlicher Cocktail aus festlichen Düften, der Ihre Nase kitzelt und Ihre Seele wärmt
Vergessen röstet Marshmallows über dem offenen Feuer, die klebrige Süße der schmelzenden Marshmallows weht durch die Luft, ein Sirenenruf für Naschkatzen. Während Sie sitzen und genießen, werden Ihre Wangen von den Flammen rosig, während Sie versuchen, den perfekten S’more zu kreieren.

Heiße Getränke und dampfende Becher mit Glühwein und gewürztem Apfelwein werden herumgereicht und die Wärme dringt durch die Handschuhe bis in die Knochen. Sie können nicht anders, als an dem duftenden Gebräu zu nippen, die Gewürze von Zimt, Nelken und Muskatnuss drehen sich auf Ihrer Zunge und hinterlassen eine wohlige Wärme. Und für die weniger Abenteuerlustigen gibt es heiße Schokolade, die so reichhaltig und cremig ist, dass man sie wie eine warme Umarmung fühlt von innen nach außen, garniert mit einem Berg Schlagsahne und einer Prise glitzerndem Zucker.

Die Standbesitzer sind ein fröhlicher Haufen, ihre Augen funkeln mit der gleichen Begeisterung wie die oben aufgereihten Lichter, man erkennt die Details, die diesen Ort so besonders machen. Girlandenstränge waren über jede Oberfläche drapiert, das Rascheln von Tannennadeln war zu hören frisch geschnittene Kränze, ab und zu eine Schneeflocke, die vom Himmel herabflattert.

Der Carpe Noctem Weihnachtsmarkt ist nicht nur ein Ort zum Einkaufen; Es ist ein Erlebnis, das Ihr Herz mit der Magie der Jahreszeit erfüllt. Es ist ein Ort, um mit Freunden und Liebsten Erinnerungen zu schaffen, die Freude am Geben und Empfangen zu genießen und einfach im Moment präsent zu sein.

Fügen Sie Carpe Noctem zu Ihrer Winterreiseliste der zu besuchenden Orte hinzu. Zu finden unter:

Christmas-Advent-Market
Picture this: a wonderland nestled in the heart of a quaint town square, with snowy paths and twinkling fairy lights that dance playfully in the brisk winter air. The aroma of roasting chestnuts fills the air, the chestnuts are indeed hot, nestled in little paper cones that crackle as they’re handed to you, releasing their nutty, toasty perfume. You pop one into your mouth and it’s a symphony of flavor and warmth, a delightful contrast to the cold that nips at your nose, and sweet scent of caramelizing
sugar coating the freshly made crepes sizzling and each breath you take is a
delightful cocktail of festive scents that tickle your nose and warm your soul, not
forgetting roasts marshmallows over an open fire, the sticky sweetness of the melting marshmallows wafts through the air, a siren’s call to those with a sweet tooth. as you sit to enjoy your cheeks turn rosy from the flames as you attempt to craft the perfect s’more.

Hot drinks and steaming mugs of mulled wine and spiced cider are passed around, warmth seeping through your mittens and into your very bones. You can’t help but sip at the fragrant concoction, the spices of cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg pirouetting on your tongue, leaving a comforting of warmth and for the less adventurous, there’s hot chocolate so rich and creamy it’s like a warm hug from the inside out, topped with a mountain of whipped cream and a dusting of glittering sugar.

The stallholders are a merry bunch, their eyes twinkling with the same enthusiasm as the lights strung up above, you notice the details that make this place so special. Strands of garland draped over every surface, the rustle of pine needles from
fresh-cut wreaths, the occasional snowflake that flutters down from the sky,

The Carpe Noctem Christmas Market isn’t just a place to shop; it’s an experience that fills your heart with the magic of the season. It’s a place to create memories with friends and loved ones, to revel in the joy of giving and receiving, and to simply be present in the moment.

Howdy folks!!! One of our new grid members wanted a house that was very open, so with that thought in mind I created this house for her, however I'm making it available to anyone who would like it. This house features a built in fireplace, split levels, spiral stairs, decks, recessed ceiling lights (touch light), sliding doors and a carport. The build is pretty much all prim so it will be easy to modify and the mesh parts can be resized and re textured to your liking. It is full perm and free here at our mall, stop by and check it out. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Each year, when my favorite troll's birthday comes around, I try to honor his preference for keeping things low-key and reflecting privately. But I can’t help but celebrate him in my heart, because he means so much. He brings so much life, laughter, and spirit to this community. Thank you for being you—we love you dearly. Happy Birthday @FerdFrederix!🧌🧚🏽‍♀️🪄

In realms of code where pixels gleam,
He walks the line of dream and meme.
A playful troll, a friend so true,
Who gives his all in what he’ll do.

Among the builds, the scripts, the lore,
He stands to open every door.
With laughter quick and kindness vast,
He helps the lost find home at last.

Though avatars may jest and jest,
He holds the weight of every quest.
In virtual lands, where worlds collide,
He lifts us all with care and pride.

Behind the mask, a heart so rare,
To aid, to love, beyond compare.
We cherish you, oh digital soul,
The metaverse’s greatest troll.
Erlebe die Magie des Weihnachtsmarkts ?✨

Willkommen in einer Welt voller Besinnlichkeit, Freude und Liebe!
Tauche ein in den Zauber der Weihnachtszeit: Der Duft von Zimt und gebrannten Mandeln liegt in der Luft, sanfte Lichter glitzern wie Sterne, und liebevoll dekorierte Stände laden zum Verweilen ein.

Found a parking space for the X-Wing over at the store. Flew her over from Luna Starbase after giving her a new PBR paint job. Might be time again to give her some exercise flying across the grid.

Made by Lain Iwakura of Iwakura Systems and scripted by Armenious Horada. I helped Lain with the model upload issues and some of the texturing and also helped with flight testing. They have some interesting hud, weapons, and flight characteristics. Armenious has moved on to other projects outside of Opensim and Lain is no longer making the models though she is still on Kitely. Their entire inventory of about 20 ships was given to me as a trust to preserve. I'll eventually display them all at Starbase.

You can see the X-Wing at the store next to the cinema. HG Address is grid.wolfterritories.org:8002:Lunaria Emporium - Main Store

Hello everyone, we will be shutting down our mall until 3:00am SLT due to the upload of the new OAR and checking all vendors that everything will work.

Teleports to the region are not possible until then. We will open the new mall punctually at 0:00 our time (GMT+1) (3pm SLT). You can look forward to many new things. A detailed list will be announced later.

Even though our grid is only 1 year old, we have learned a lot in OpenSim and got to know a lot of new experiences and nice new people.

We're testing PBR textures, and the results are stunning! This ring, originally created in Second Life, showcases Opensim's full PBR support, bringing every detail to life. Interestingly, when I upload my jewelry to Second Life, the scale appears much larger, but in Opensim, it matches the exact size I designed. This ring was one of my first creations and earned me an Avi Choice nomination for Best New Jewelry Store in SL! I had to nano that ring though because of the huge scale and would not reduce down to the SL Avatar. In opensim it has worked beautifully thanks to @FerdFrederix~ PBR is in its earliest stages but I am loving the results so far. This will be in the store soon. 💍💗 This image is inworld with Sunrise lighting. Lighting affects the color of the metal if the sky is red orange sunset the gold will be red, Fred pointed this out to me yesterday, so a bright mid day you will see the brightest results. I have fun playing with the sky to see what the metal will look like each sky it looks different. Fred's ring compared to mine though that he textured is beyond beautiful, he made the diamond glossy, and translucent and it is just beautiful, so gemstones can be transparent with a tint of color, so many options and we are having fun! All this is coming soon...
