One-destination hypergate available at the store. Set it to any destination on your region, your grid, or on the hypergrid. Click the Egyptian sign in the lobby to get to the display. This photo is unretouched, taken using the new midday setting. To see it this way in world, use the latest Firestorm viewer 7.1.11 then activate the left-side mirror options in the graphics settings. Original gold textures will be seen if using the older FS 6.6.17 viewer and I recommend using shared environment in that case, since the old default midday will yield the poorest results.

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.

White hoarfrost on the trees
and the snow invites you to dream,
the branches glisten like frost
and the lake shines clear as cold,
the sun shines in the rich blue
of the sky and wherever I look
I see snow on the edge of the forest,
oh, you winter wonderland.

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

It's snowing in Vallands.
Wishing you a happy holiday to everyone !

No ideal individuals were being prohibited from Dallas. When I checked my email this morning, I saw that someone had been blocked. Listen, I don't ban anyone. The only reason I do so is if they treat me disrespectfully. In that case, I'm unable to communicate with you, so I say goodbye. I only ask that you talk to me if you have problems with me and not criticize me behind my back if you don't know me. Hell, even though I don't do what I do for myself, I still do it because I enjoy being active, if not for myself in real life. In any case, I prefer to see others happy. Have fun and happy holidays! When I started using OpenSim, I remember that people greeted and helped each other. It's an open sim with too much squabbling, rumors about who took what, and so forth! If you ban me, I won't lose any sleep.
Since I've met more individuals here than I have in my 20 years in Second Life, we make a lot of things here rather than bringing them over. As I mentioned, I felt that people were more considerate and grateful when I first started OpenSim. What is going on? :(

For our 12th year in a row...

While most of us associate PBR only with mirrors and shiny metals, there is a lot more to it since all surfaces benefit from it. The top pic here shows the room with the old standard (blinn phong) textures and materials taken using the FS 6.6.17 viewer, while the bottom pic shows the same room with all pbr textures taken using the FS 7.1.11 viewer. Note that you can add both texture sets to a surface so that any viewer can see something. Also note that there is a reflection probe filling this room that prevents the blue light outside from seeping in (a current known bug being investigated).

Saturation, lighting, and detail are significantly improved across the board when all surfaces are pbr, which is what Physically Based Rendering was designed to do: to more accurately capture the interplay of light on various surfaces. For those wondering about how performance was affected, these were taken using my 8 year old desktop that has a GTX 1070 graphics card. I was at 40 fps on ultra graphics, but you don't need to set the graphics that high to get this look. That's because the new viewer is more efficient since it uses more of your computer's available resources.

SkyRealm embraces Spacetime. A complex and fascinating subject, and it continues to be an area of active research. The insights that have been gained from relativity have revolutionized our understanding of the universe, and they continue to challenge our intuition.

Fred Beckhusen-Ferd Frederix Thank you, for lending a hand in this project. Fred took a model with over 800 parts then used Blender modifiers to clean edges, and a script that helped to reduce the level of detail. He made it six layers of over a hundred parts each then stacked it on top of the mountain. Without Fred's help and guidance, this would not have been possible. Sincerely thank you, Fred. Jamie Anna Wright thank you for contributing to the clock collection. three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:SkyRealm

Now we all are in the holiday mood, we offer you a winter adventure.
The ELEVEN CITIES SKATING TOUR. SKATE AND COLLECT STAMPS, WIN A PRIZE.

A skating tour , 12 sims huge , leading you through a wonderful winter landscape with some nice details underway, like cabins for a rest ( or a cuddle ), Icy waterfalls, animals, and more surprises.

How does it work?

Hop : grid.kitely.com:8002:Catronian Archipelago

On the landing place a teleport sign will lead you to the winter fair/ skating tour start point.
Find the information board. It gives you historical information about this funny Dutch tradition, and an opportunity to collect all the original stamps in this tour and win the 11 cities trophy , which in the Netherlands is like being a local hero.

You will get a map/ texture and when opening your world map, you will be able to locate all the checkpoints by comparing the map with your position on the world map. We introduced this bc too many people got lost on track and miss stamps !

Drag all your stamp textures on a notecard and sent it to me. You will be rewarded . I will mention names of the people who are in the "hall of fame" in this thread.

Oh, and don't forget to visit the market with all its freebees !

Happy skating!
