Ich sitze hier und schreibe,
doch meine Worte finden dich nicht mehr.
Die Tränen fallen leise,
und mein Herz ist unendlich schwer.

So schicke ich dir kleine Herzen,
hinauf ins unbekannte Licht.
Vielleicht kannst du sie sehen,
denn meine Liebe stirbt mit dir nicht.

Und manchmal glaube ich zu spüren,
du bist noch immer nah bei mir.
Dann flüstere ich in die Stille:
**„Ich liebe dich. Ich vermisse dich.“**
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I sit alone and write these words,
but they can no longer reach your heart.
My tears fall softly in the silence,
in a world where we're apart.

I send you little hearts of love,
up into the unknown light.
Perhaps somehow you'll see them,
still glowing through the night.

And sometimes I can almost feel
your gentle presence drawing near.
Then softly I whisper to the silence:
**“I love you. I wish you were here.”**

The move to the new grid will begin over the weekend (October 24/25). If everything goes according to plan, you are all cordially invited to visit the new grid—which will still feature the familiar Gummybear Island—starting Monday, October 26.
If you would like to join the new group ahead of time, you can do so here.

Und wieder das alte Leiden. Da geht man online und sieht aus wie aus der Hölle raus geworfen. Mehrfach die letzten Tage angeschrieben, keine Reaktion. Heute gleich nochmals und dieses mal ein Bild Inworld gemacht , nicht das es heißt ich hätte nicht geschrieben. Die gleiche Nachricht per Mail gesendet, es wird wohl nichts passieren.
Schön wenn hier User berichten das der Umzug gut verlief, ich bin am Verzweifeln und am Boden zerstört.

And here we go again—the same old misery. You log on, and it’s like you’ve been spat out of hell. I’ve reached out several times over the last few days, but there’s been no response. I tried again today—and this time, I even took an in-world screenshot, just so no one can claim I never sent a message. I also sent the same note via email, though I doubt anything will come of it.
It’s great for other users that their migration went smoothly, but as for me—I’m in despair and completely devastated.

Ich verstehe auch nicht wieso hier berichtet wird das das gesamte Inventar mit umgezogen ist von OS Grid nach Neverworld. Laut Aussage von Masala muss dieses einer Überprüfung unterzogen werden ansonsten zieht nur das Land mit um. Werden da nun auch Unterschiede bei den Usern gemacht ? Alles sehr komisch. Ich freue mich echt das es User gibt die es hinter sich haben und das da alles geklappt hat. Aber was mich angeht bin ich da sehr skeptisch. So wie sich die ganze Sache jetzt schon gestaltet wird es wohl noch im Desaster enden.

I also don’t understand why it’s being reported here that the entire inventory was moved over from OS Grid to Neverworld. According to Masala, the inventory has to undergo a review process; otherwise, only the land gets transferred. Are they making distinctions between different users, then? It’s all very strange. I’m genuinely happy for the users who have already gone through the process and for whom everything worked out, but as far as I’m concerned, I remain very skeptical. The way things are shaping up right now, this is likely to end in a disaster.

Escape 2 Realitys Halloween 3 amazing levels of halloween scares n spooks sim is up and has over a dozen new items to bring you a more frightning and spooktacular season ,new props and jump scares await you!!! new gifts were added to the end of the maze remember the maze starts at the farm house and there is only one way to escape the maze can you make it out or end up imprisoned in hell forever hahahhah ??hope ya enjoy and we will see you soon that is if ya make it out !!!lol

Making AI images is fun, but at what cost?

We’ve all seen the funny, beautiful, and creative pictures generated by AI. But have you ever stopped to think about the environmental cost of creating them? I see them on this website daily! I have made hundreds of Ai images!

But, did you know? Every AI-generated image requires computing power. That means electricity, water to help cool data centers, and powerful computer equipment that requires mining and manufacturing.

And every time we ask AI to create a picture, fix a mistake, or generate another version, we use even more resources.

One image may not seem like much, but multiply that by millions of people generating millions of images every day.

More energy consumption. More water demand. More carbon emissions. More electronic waste.

We talk about protecting our planet, reducing waste, and conserving natural resources. Yet we're embracing a technology without always considering its environmental footprint.

I'm not saying AI doesn't have valuable uses. It absolutely does. But do we really need to generate endless pictures just because we can?

Making AI images is fun. But is the environmental cost worth it?

Something to think about before clicking "generate" again.

Creating an Original OpenSimulator Character
A Simple Guide to ChatGPT, Tripo, and Ferd Frederix's New Mesh Uploader
Creating original 3D characters for OpenSimulator has become much easier. With ChatGPT for reference artwork, Tripo for 3D model creation and rigging, and Ferd Frederix's new GLTF/DAE/FBX Mesh Uploader, you can bring your creations into OpenSimulator without manually rigging them in Blender or Avastar.
This tutorial walks through the process, from your first character idea to seeing your creation in-world.
What You'll Need
- ChatGPT — To create your character reference image.
- Tripo — To turn your image into a 3D model, rig it, and preview animations.
- Fred's Mesh Uploader — To import your finished model into OpenSimulator.
- An OpenSimulator viewer — To inspect and test your creation.
You will also need access to a DreamGrid installation with the uploader enabled, either through its desktop interface or through authorized web uploading.
Step 1: Create Your Character in ChatGPT
Every character starts with an idea!
You might create a fantasy creature, a holiday character, a cartoon animal, or something entirely original.
For characters you intend to rig, the reference image is particularly important.
Ask ChatGPT to create a full-body character in a T-pose, facing directly forward.
Suggested ChatGPT prompt:
"Create an original full-body 3D character reference image, facing directly forward in a true T-pose. Arms extended horizontally, fingers separated, legs slightly apart with a clear gap between them, and both feet fully visible. Use a plain gray background. No props, scenery, text, or clothing connecting the legs."
A clean image helps Tripo distinguish the character's limbs and body proportions.
Tip: Avoid long skirts, hanging fabric, complicated accessories, and overlapping body parts. These can interfere with automatic rigging.
Step 2: Create Your 3D Model in Tripo
Once you are happy with your reference image:
Open Tripo and select its Image to 3D workflow.
Upload your ChatGPT character image.
Generate the 3D model.
Examine the character from several angles.
Check that the arms, hands, legs, and feet are properly separated.
If something looks wrong, correct the reference image and generate another model.
Do not rush into rigging a model with fused limbs or badly distorted geometry. Fixing the source is usually easier than trying to repair the finished result.
Step 3: Rig Your Character in Tripo
This is where your character comes to life!
Tripo provides automatic rigging capabilities for supported character models.
Open your generated model.
Select the available rigging or animation workflow.
Apply automatic rigging.
Preview an available animation.
Watch the shoulders, elbows, hands, hips, knees, and feet.
Look for unnatural bending, stretching, or distortion.
If the rigging is unsuccessful, try regenerating a cleaner model.
For wearable OpenSimulator characters, preserve a proper T-pose as the rig's reference pose. An action pose is not a suitable substitute.
Important: Tripo's interface and available features may change over time.
Step 4: Export Your Character as an FBX ZIP
Once your model is ready, use Tripo's FBX export option.
Select the appropriate FBX export.
Download the exported model and associated files.
Keep the supplied ZIP package intact, including any textures or supporting files.
Save a backup of your original character image and Tripo project.
For this tutorial, we use an FBX ZIP because Fred's uploader supports FBX files, including rigged characters, and ZIP packages containing models and their textures.
A static GLB and a rigged FBX are not interchangeable for every intended use. Choose the export that preserves the data you need.
Step 5: Open Fred's GLTF/DAE/FBX Mesh Uploader
Fred Frederix has developed a Mesh Uploader that can import several popular 3D formats directly into an OpenSimulator region.
Supported formats include:
- DAE (Collada)
- FBX
- GLTF
- GLB
- ZIP packages containing supported models and textures
For grid administrators using DreamGrid, open the main DreamGrid window, choose Content, and select Load DAE, GLB, GLTF, FBX.
The uploader opens with options to select your model, preview it, adjust scale, and choose its destination.
Select your FBX ZIP package using the file browser.
Preview your model before uploading. This can help you catch missing textures, incorrect sizing, and other problems.
Step 6: Choose Object, Clothing, or Avatar
Fred's uploader supports different kinds of mesh imports.
Object: Use this for decorative characters, statues, props, furniture, and other in-world objects. With both wearable options unchecked, an FBX armature is ignored and the model imports in its saved pose.
Clothing: Use this for supported rigged attachments intended to follow an avatar's movements.
Avatar: Use this for a complete wearable character body. The uploader can process supported rigs, skin weights, and joint positions for OpenSimulator.
For wearable characters, the uploader's automatic skeleton conversion requires a working Python installation on the DreamGrid computer. The Clothing and Avatar options will be unavailable if Python is not detected.
The model must also have a suitable armature and T-pose. Automatic conversion cannot guarantee that every unusual character or rig will work perfectly.
Note about animation: Importing a rigged model is not the same as importing and playing its original Tripo animation. A wearable character uses the OpenSimulator avatar animation system. Test animation behavior separately rather than assuming every animation embedded in an FBX will play in-world.
Step 7: Build and Load Your Character
In Fred's uploader:
Choose the source model or ZIP package.
Examine the model preview.
Adjust the scale if necessary.
Select a running destination region.
Set the desired placement coordinates, or use the online-avatar placement option.
Select the appropriate wearable option if needed.
Click Build & Load.
The uploader processes the model and builds an OpenSim Archive (OAR) behind the scenes, then loads the model into the chosen region.
When using avatar-based placement, the object can appear approximately two meters in front of your avatar.
Watch the uploader's status window for errors or warnings.
Step 8: Test Your Character in OpenSimulator
Once your character appears in-world, inspect it carefully.
For decorative objects, check the size, textures, orientation, geometry, and placement.
For wearable characters, right-click the imported object and select Take. Find it in your inventory and wear it.
Test several ordinary avatar animations to see whether the character bends and moves correctly.
Check the arms, knees, feet, and overall proportions. Some characters may require additional adjustments.
Before sharing your creation, also check permissions, texture quality, and rendering performance.
Tips for Better Results
Start simple. Characters with clean proportions and separated limbs are easier to rig.
Keep your models efficient. Highly detailed geometry can increase rendering costs and cause upload problems. Fred's uploader enforces a maximum of 65,535 vertices per material section.
Keep textures with the model. A ZIP package helps prevent supporting files from getting separated.
Use a proper T-pose for wearable characters. This is essential for correct avatar animation behavior.
Test before distributing. What looks good in Tripo may need adjustment once imported into OpenSimulator.
The Complete Workflow
Character idea → ChatGPT reference image → Tripo 3D generation → Tripo rigging → FBX ZIP export → Fred's Mesh Uploader → OpenSimulator testing
No manual Blender rigging. No Avastar workflow. Just a much more direct way to create and import original characters.
Thank You, Ferd!
This new uploader has saved an enormous amount of time in my creative workflow.
Instead of manually building and rigging characters through several different programs, I can create a character, generate and rig it in Tripo, export the FBX package, and bring the result into OpenSimulator using Fred's GUI.
Seeing something I imagined become a 3D character standing in-world is still a wonderful experience.
Thank you, Fred, for continuing to develop tools that make creating in OpenSimulator easier and more accessible to everyone!

Tutorial note: The exact results depend on the model, its rigging, the chosen import mode, and the DreamGrid version. This guide covers mesh import and wearable character testing; it does not guarantee automatic playback of Tripo's exported animations.

A Python project I started working on this morning. An automatic marine life and boat route creator. You tell it where you want to go, and boom! It makes a nice route for your script to use, and a jpeg grid map snippet, for your viewing pleasure!

I'm kind of blown away that it finds it's way through all the narrow rivers and channels. This is pretty specific to GroovyVerse, because it uses our terrain height maps that are saved during our daily backup regimen. We will have a lot of automated boats and pods of dolphins and humpback whales wandering the grid at their own whimsy. lol

Mein Umzug von OSGrid zu NeverworldGrid ✨😉

In den nächsten Tagen schreibe ich auf Discord ein bisschen über meinen Umzug von OSGrid zu NeverworldGrid – also über Erfahrungen, Anleitung und die kleinen bis mittelgroßen Stolpersteine, über die man natürlich rein zufällig trotzdem erst einmal selbst stolpert. 😄

Das Ganze ist vor allem für alle interessant, die selbst eine Region hosten möchten. Mit dabei: meine treue FRITZ!Box, die ganz tapfer den täglichen Wechsel meiner öffentlichen IPv4 managed – was ungefähr so entspannt ist, wie es klingt… also nur mit Humor und Kaffee. ☕✨

Die richtig gute Nachricht: Meine .OAR und meine .IAR wurden perfekt importiert. Und nicht nur das – ich war ehrlich gesagt völlig baff, wie unfassbar schnell das alles ging. Mein Avatar, die .OAR und auch die .IAR waren in einem Tempo importiert, bei dem ich kurz dachte, ich hätte aus Versehen den Turbomodus angeklickt. 🚀
Gerade weil das mein erster Umzug war – und dazu auch noch mein erstes .IAR überhaupt – hätte ich eher mit elegantem Chaos gerechnet. Stattdessen: erstaunlich viel Erfolg, ein bisschen Nervenkitzel und nur an den richtigen Stellen leichtes Herzklopfen. 😉

Natürlich gibt es trotzdem einiges zu beachten, und genau darüber möchte ich berichten – damit andere vielleicht nicht jede meiner kleinen „Learning by Doing mit Glitzer“-Erkenntnisse selbst nachturnen müssen. ✨

Ein ganz großes Dankeschön geht an den super lieben Support, an die hilfreichen Mitbewohner auf Discord und nicht zuletzt an meine Freundin, ohne die ich an der einen oder anderen Stelle vermutlich noch mit hochgezogener Augenbraue vor irgendeiner Konsole sitzen würde. 😄💖

Kurz gesagt:
Erster Umzug. Erstes .IAR. Viel gelernt. Viel Tempo. Viel Hilfe. Und ja – ein kleines bisschen stolz bin ich schon. ✨😉

✨ From OSGrid to NeverworldGrid – My First Big Move! 🚀💖

Well… I did it! My very first grid move, my very first .IAR, and surprisingly, I still have most of my hair! 😂✨

Over the next few days, I'll be sharing my experiences moving from OSGrid to NeverworldGrid on Discord – including a step-by-step guide, useful tips, and all those lovely little pitfalls that apparently exist just to make life more entertaining. 😉

This might be especially interesting for anyone planning to self-host their own OpenSim region.

One of the stars of this adventure was my trusty FRITZ!Box, happily dealing with my daily changing public IPv4 address. Because obviously, having a stable IP would have made things far too easy! 😂☕

And now for the REALLY exciting part…

My .OAR and .IAR were imported perfectly! 🎉

The speed was absolutely unbelievable! My avatar loaded incredibly fast, and both my .OAR and .IAR imports were so amazingly quick that I almost wondered whether someone had secretly installed a rocket engine somewhere! 🚀✨

Coming from OSGrid, I honestly couldn't believe my eyes!

Of course, there are quite a few things you need to know before attempting this adventure. And trust me, I discovered some of them the traditional way: by doing them wrong first! 😇

But that's exactly why I want to share everything I've learned – hopefully saving someone else a few hours of head-scratching, coffee drinking, and whispering sweet little threats to their computer. 😂

A HUGE thank you to the incredibly kind and patient Neverworld support team, the wonderful and helpful residents on Discord, and, last but definitely not least, my amazing friend, who helped me through this whole adventure. 💖

Without all of you, I'd probably still be staring at a console window, wondering why the universe hates special characters in passwords! 🤣

So, here we are…

First grid move. First .IAR. A few technical adventures. Lots of wonderful people. An incredible new home. And one very happy Mary! 💕

Stay tuned – the guide is coming soon on Discord!

Kisses, hugs & a little pixel dust! ✨💋

Mary 💖

Liebe Lagerfeuertänzer und Musikzuhörer,
morgen, 20. Oktober ab 20:00 Uhr (11:00 SLT) gibt es eine herbstliche Musikalische Rumpelkiste, eher mit sanftem Inhalt. Schon ab 19:30 gibts Vormusik - kommet zuhauf - wir freuen uns drauf.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear campfire dancers and music lovers,
tomorrow, October 20th, starting at 8:00 PM (11:00 AM SLT), we'll be having an autumnal musical smorgasbord, with a rather gentle selection of tunes. There will be pre-show music starting at 7:30 PM - come one, come all - we're looking forward to it!

Come and wander the many paths and be lost in the woods, sit by a lake, and enjoy authentic bird sounds which are also freely available at the harbor in 'The Tipsy Twitcher's Ornithologist Shop'. PATIENCE please. For magical reasons, sometimes delivery of items is as slow as a glacier or as fast as lightning.

Find the teleport board to explore or just start walking!
