This is one of the first sets that I created, started with a sketch of gem placement. Making gemstone snowflakes it is all about gem placement too. Once you have the main gem placed a simple polar array at various distances achieves beautiful effects. Creating is Magic, spend more time learning all the new software out there.

Here is user-friendly modeling software applications that allow you to create models quickly and export them in OBJ or DAE formats:

🌷SketchUp:

Pros: Intuitive interface, fast learning curve, extensive library of pre-made models.

🌷Clara.io:

Pros: Web-based, collaborative, supports many formats, and easy to use.

Hello Friends! I have been busy working on my shop and have made this sweet stone house available. It comes with a stone wall you can use as well. I built it for Braewood Forest in The Land Of Xzar, so visit there if you would like to see it furnished with the things I made for it as the one at the mall is unfurnished. All should be copy if anyone wants, or ask me. I have included a kitchen you can place if you wish.
I have added a lot of landscaping items: planters with flowers, ground flowers and plants, and a beautiful collection of trees made with AI-generated textures. There are also some new water lilies to add to your ponds, as well as a wooden gazebo with a dance ball.
I make all of my content using sculpts and prims. The shop is full of decor and finishing pieces that help turn a house into a home.
Look for Star Ravenhurst Designs on the teleporter when you land.
Thanks for having a look! Big Hugs!!

For whatever reason, this great resource for builders and creators often shows offline at the Beacon.

Always try, even if it says offline :)

Every now and then it gets a restart, but it is usually up and running.

The Na'vi floating mountains, known as the Hallelujah Mountains, are a breathtaking sight in Pandora, held aloft by powerful magnetic fields. The journey to the top is perilous, testing the courage and skill of each Na'vi. Narrow ledges, sudden gusts of wind, and unstable rocks make the climb treacherous, and only the bravest warriors succeed, earning the honor of bonding with an ikran, the majestic mountain banshees.

Follow Nanti up the floating mountains, come test your climbing skills.

Funland awaits you, like most places in Opensim not too crowded unlike Amusement Parks we go to in RL!

A giant Park with places to relax, eat, and then ride ride ride!

A little work is sometimes called for to find where the ride is activated, be sure to sit and secure!

If you enjoy please leave us a like for the Region, we'd appreciate it! :)

A mother is a remarkable blend of strength, warmth, and wisdom; she is the heart that beats at the core of a family, nurturing and guiding with a love that’s both fierce and tender. She’s a protector, a confidante, and a source of endless encouragement. On Mother’s Day, we celebrate these extraordinary women who give so much of themselves to light the way for the next generation
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL THE MOTHERS IN OUR VIRTUAL WORLD AND RL :)

===Starchild Kin: On the Order of Celestials===
‘…the humans inquire about the Hierarchy of Angels, as they call us. They have conceived a hierarchy of what they call choirs, which does not seem inappropriate, for there is a First Song, that is also the Last...'
'...And from the First Song, that is the Last, the Song without Sound, condensing like pearls of harmonic melody, came the Seraphim, falling like rain upon the mountain, and they Sang to the Song, and there was Harmony....'
[The fragment below is a continuation of the prologue to the background story of the Starchild family at Darkheart’s Playground grid in OpenSimulator and the future development of a HUD (akin to Bloodlines in Second Life) that will foster a roleplay of vampires, demons, angels, and other races.]

🌿🌌 Welcome to Iknimaya: A Pandoran Paradise! 🌌🌿
Step into a world inspired by the awe-inspiring landscapes of the movie Avatar. Welcome to Iknimaya, where the wonders of Pandora come to life before your very eyes. At the landing, you'll find a box of beautiful Pandoran flowers created in the early days before mesh, we called it torturing prims (a favorite pastime). The region is lush, and enjoyable to explore, “I see you.”
three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:iknimaya Thank you @JoeBuilder and @FerdFrederix for adding to the lovely plant collection here.

A new season of Safari began on Wednesday - thanks to all friends, old and new, who joined us to visit CyberGlo on Wizardry and then Jimmy Olsen on Europa, with Xenon Darrow guiding us around Jimmy's build - both spectacular and informative places.
Here's the Safari blog posts, telling our story - plus, a few pics of the really lovely build by Lampithaler that premiered yesterday.
