Dear Leisa Calling, me out of My name proves that you have been harassing me for the last four weeks using various avatars with the same first name. You have been banned from the other grid for the identical reason. "Grow the hell up!" is all I have to say. God is my soldier, and you are the devil in disguise, attempting to attract attention. Here's my handkerchief; go on. Most people recognize me as a decent person, and I've helped a lot of people who came to my grid from other grids. I don't support lying or grieving, regardless of who you are. You must stop destroying and move on to real life.
My point was made.

Weeeeee'rrrrreee heeeeere!!!!!! Yayyyyyy! It's Christmas! We still have a bit of construction so pardon our dust...but we couldn't wait to bring you another wonderful place to visit this year! The snow is cold so dress appropriately but hopefully, this little Christmas town will warm your hearts!

First of all, Happy Holydays for all of you from my heart.
Now bad news, My region will be down for a while because I paid for a new server and we are moving everything there. Hopping all will be smooth and fast, but you know how life goes. As soon as we are back online I will post it here. Thank you so much for your understanding and patience.
Bebe

This is a replica of Metacomet's war club from the late 1600's. It is currently on display at the Fruitlands Museum in Harvard Massachusetts. Each wampum inlay along the top commemorates an invader personally dispatched by Metacomet during the King Phillip War 1675-1678

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!

In the heart of the digital realm, where grids and codes intertwined, there existed a special place known as the Gentle Fire Grid. This grid was unlike any other; it was a warm, welcoming community where avatars from all corners of the virtual world gathered to share stories, create art, and celebrate together.

As Christmas approached, the Gentle Fire Grid buzzed with excitement. The avatars decorated their virtual homes with twinkling lights, digital wreaths, and pixel-perfect Christmas trees. The air was filled with the sound of cheerful carols and the scent of virtual gingerbread cookies.

One chilly December evening, the grid's founder, a wise and kind avatar named Santa Mint, decided to host a grand Christmas party. Invitations were sent out to all the neighboring grids, including the renowned OpenSim. The message read, "Merry Christmas from Gentle Fire Grid to OpenSim! Join us for a night of joy, laughter, and celebration with live singer's and DJ's"

On the night of the party, avatars from OpenSim arrived, their digital forms glowing with anticipation. They were greeted with open arms and warm smiles. The Gentle Fire Grid had prepared a feast of virtual delicacies, from pixelated plum pudding to holographic coffee.

As the night went on, the avatars shared stories of their adventures, exchanged gifts, and danced under the shimmering lights of the virtual sky. Santa Mint stood by the grand Christmas tree, watching the joy spread across the grid. It was a night to remember, a night where the boundaries of the digital world melted away, and the true spirit of Christmas shone brightly.

And so, the Gentle Fire Grid and OpenSim celebrated together, creating memories that would last a lifetime. It was a reminder that no matter where you are, the warmth of community and the magic of Christmas can bring everyone together.

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.

One great tech dude later, and all the regions are up and running that we have active now on the E Grid.

Relocation and recalibration and upgrades ALL done.

Thank you for your patience Visitors and Renters!!

Time for every one to come out and support the people who built a Snow Globe. They need your votes. you can vote for as many globes as you want but only one time per day. Help these people win this event. hg.trianon-world.com:18002:Christmas 2

We've finished the move, upgrade and relocation, as well as calibrations of E Grid, but we have some port forward issues that are new.

Tech coming out today, this one is beyond me.

The Grid and regions are safe. Just no hypergrid. Bear with ...
