🦋 Butterflies Always Near 🦋

Butterflies have a very special meaning to me.

At 96 years old, my mother was still creating. One of the last things she made for her daughters was a sequined butterfly. She carefully placed every single sequin by hand. She passed away only a few months later, on September 18, 2024.

Those butterflies became something I treasure, and now they have inspired this little creation.

Butterflies Always Near is a butterfly choker created in remembrance of my mother and also in memory of Dolly Parton, whose love of butterflies made this tribute feel especially fitting.

Each choker comes nestled inside a lavender butterfly keepsake box and will be given as a gift at Monentes Jewelry.

A butterfly may only stay for a moment, but somehow its beauty stays with us.

For those we love, and those we remember — butterflies are always near. 🦋

We have a new automatic machine translation module for chat tested in dev grid ready for Holoneon. There are no huds or rez balls or annoying repeated popups.
The module supports libretranslate, google-nmt, and google-llm translation engines. So you can run a local instance of libretranslate on your server if you want for free, or you can get your key for google api / or google llm.
the first time you land on the grid you get a dialog box to choose your language, or you can opt out. it will store your preference in the database and every time you visit the grid the language is set. you can change in local with simple commands /884422 EN (or ES, DE, PT, etc) set language. /884422 off /884422 status
The module is optimized to only perform one translation per pair, per chatting av. so if there are 5 english users, 2 portuguese and 3 german, it will only translate once per en-de-pt. you can download from github and build or you can pay me to install it on your grid.

🖤 WE ARE BACK — SUBTERRANEA 🖤
You thought we were gone?
😂 Cute.
We’ve been hiding UNDERGROUND, charging the speakers, feeding the demons and arguing over who gets the better tunes.
This time we're bringing DJ Chocolate & Adrian Moon together for a proper subterranean takeover — and this one is all about NU DISCO. 🪩🔥
🍫 DJ CHOCOLATE — 11AM → 1PM
🌙 ADRIAN MOON — 1PM → 3PM
Expect funky basslines, disco grooves, shimmering synths, dirty little edits, deep house flavours and enough groove to make even the furniture start dancing. 🪩😂
Basically... disco went underground, got darker, got sexier and found a bassline.
📍 SUBTERRANEA

Come for the music.
Stay because you’ve forgotten where the exit is. 😂
🖤 NU DISCO • DEEP GROOVES • UNDERGROUND ENERGY
🪩 MUSIC • PEOPLE • UNDERGROUND • AGAIN

FLEETWOOD BEACH PLATES 1 - Say Good bye to terraforming

One request in advance: Please give me feedback on whether you find the plates useful and whether I should continue developing them. Your feedback helps me with my work. Thank you very much!

FLEETWOOD Seamless Terrain Plates: Flexible Terrain for OpenSim – Without Traditional Terraforming

With the FLEETWOOD Seamless Terrain Plates, landscapes in OpenSim can be designed much more flexibly than with standard sim terrain alone. Instead of laboriously raising, lowering, and repeatedly adjusting the fixed region terrain, you build your landscape from freely placeable mesh terrain plates.

This makes it possible to create beaches, dunes, forest areas, transition zones, paths, slopes, and entire landscape sections exactly where you need them.

The major advantage: the plates remain objects. You can move, rotate, scale, replace, or completely rearrange them at any time without permanently altering the actual sim terrain.

Seamless Textures Across Multiple Plates

The system automatically aligns textures to the region coordinates. This means the texture does not restart on every individual plate, but continues across neighboring plates.

The size, position, and rotation of each terrain plate are automatically taken into account. If a plate is moved, rotated, or scaled, the texture alignment adjusts accordingly.

The result is a continuous landscape in which the individual terrain plates are much less noticeable as separate objects.

Automatic Tiling

The texture is automatically adjusted to the size of the plate.

One texture tile corresponds to a fixed terrain size within the system. Larger plates automatically receive more repeats, while smaller plates receive fewer.

This means the user does not have to manually adjust texture repeats, offsets, and rotation for every single terrain plate.

Central Texture Control

Clicking on a terrain plate opens the integrated texture menu.

The textures stored in the plate’s inventory are detected automatically and can be selected directly. No complicated naming convention is required.

You can also use your own textures without any problem. The only requirement is that they are seamless, tileable textures.

Simply place new textures into the terrain plate’s inventory. The system detects them automatically and displays them in the texture menu.

When a texture is changed, it is automatically applied to all related terrain plates within the same group.

For example, an entire beach area can be redesigned with a single texture change.

Brightness and Color Are Synchronized Too

Not only the texture itself can be changed together.

The surface color and brightness can also be synchronized within a group. This allows an entire landscape area to be made lighter, darker, warmer, or cooler without having to edit every plate individually.

The alpha value can also be synchronized.

This is especially useful when different terrain materials need to be visually matched to each other.

Terrain Groups

The terrain plates are already assigned to different terrain groups such as Beach, Forest, Dunes, or Rock.

Texture, brightness, and alpha are synchronized only within the corresponding group. A change made to the Beach Plates, for example, does not affect the Forest Plates.

This allows several different landscape areas on the same sim to be designed and adjusted independently.

Advantages Compared to Traditional Sim Terraforming

Traditional terraforming works well for the large basic shapes of a region, but it is considerably more limited when it comes to precise landscape forms.

The FLEETWOOD Seamless Terrain Plates offer much more freedom.

The plates can be freely moved, rotated, scaled, copied, deleted, or replaced at any time. This makes it easy to redesign a landscape later without having to rework the actual sim terrain.

Specially shaped mesh plates also make it possible to create terrain forms that are difficult or impossible to achieve with normal terraforming, such as:

gentle dunes,

beach slopes,

embankments,

hills,

depressions,

terrain steps,

shoreline areas,

or transitions into the water.

This is especially useful for beaches. A plate can, for example, begin to slope gently from its center and continue down to water level. This creates a controlled beach transition without having to lower large areas of the sim terrain.

Another advantage is the freedom of height. Mesh terrain does not have to be used only at ground level. Raised landscapes, terraces, sky landscapes, floating islands, or additional terrain levels can also be created.

The terrain plates function as modular landscape building blocks. Different shapes can be combined freely, for example flat plates, hills, dunes, depressions, beach slopes, transition pieces, or edge sections.

And if the landscape needs to be changed later, the entire terrain does not have to be rebuilt. The relevant plates can simply be moved, replaced, or removed.

FLEETWOOD Seamless Terrain Plates - Modular. Seamless. Freely placeable. Group-controlled.

For OpenSim landscapes that can be designed, expanded, and changed flexibly at any time.

You can find the plates in my main store.
