For all of you who asked a copy of my creations, good news:

„Jetzt leuchten die Kerzen überall. Deshalb ich wünsche Euch, dass deren Wärme und Geborgenheit Euch durch das gesamte Jahr begleitet. Habt ein frohes Weihnachtsfest!“
"Now the candles shine everywhere. Therefore, I wish you that their warmth and security will accompany you throughout the year. Have a Merry Christmas!"

Wenn Riegel fallen von den Herzen,
wenn wir auch seh’n des Nachbarn Schmerzen,
wenn Worte kleiner als die Tat,
wenn Seele ohne Stacheldraht,
wenn Liebe einen Namen kennt,
dann, liebe Freunde, ist Advent!

Yippi, heute ist es soweit. Wir haben den ersten Dezember und nun beginnt die schönste Zeit des Jahres – die Adventszeit! Passend dazu öffnen wir heute das erste Türchen vom Adventskalender. Seid ihr bereit? 24 Türchen wird es nun jeden Tag auf Tosca zu öffnen geben.

The landing point - and at the same time the starting point of the game - is located inside the town hall. You can choose between English and German instructions. Also take the note card from the info box with you - it might help to understand the game easier - and also to find the searched persons faster.

For all the singles among you: your ultimate soulmate is waiting for you on "The Good Place"! The person who fits you perfectly ... [ or maybe not ] ...

Der Landepunkt - und gleichzeitg Startpunkt des Spiels - befindet sich im Inneren des Rathauses. Ihr könnt zwischen englischer und deutscher Anleitung wählen. Nehmt euch auch die Notizkarte aus der Infobox mit - sie kann helfen, das Spiel leichter zu verstehen - und auch die gesuchten Personen schneller zu finden.

Für alle Singles unter euch: auf "The Good Place" wartet euer ultimativer Seelenverandter auf euch! Die Person, die perfekt zu euch passt ... [ oder auch doch nicht ] ...

Still about the OpenSIM ONLINE Weather System V4 already available for FREE and FULLPERM at WEATHER SECTOR at FLORA SIM - I`ve built a compact Weather Display for my tenants in my SIM NORGE. They all liked it so much so I decided to offer it here as well.
V4 vendor updated with it.,

Okay, after being asked several times about REBORN clothes, I finally decided to try one!

Here's my first attempt and the result!

You can find it right outside the store office.

I'm not sure yet whether I'll make more Reborn clothes. We'll see ;-)

Well, I am here to chew bubblegum and irritate the anti-AI troglodytes. And I am all out of bubblegum.

Recently, I saw someone post how people who use AI to make images are no talent morons. Fair enough. I accept that title. Mainly because...I dgaf what you think of me. However, I am always challenging this hot take.

I recently purchased Meshy to try to learn to make mesh. Yesterday, I tackled it in earnest. I had several AI apps create some images - Night Cafe, MidJourney, CoPilot, Designer. Part of a portal series I have worked on.

I asked CoPilot to alpha some of these for me. I only recently discovered it will do that. I have been doing it myself. Honestly, 90% of the time, CoPilot does a better job. I have just had to learn to talk to it.

I took one of these images and pulled it into Meshy. It is an AI image going into an AI mesh app. Meshy created a model of my portal. I pulled it down as a Blender compatible file and imported into Blender. I exported as collada.

It was a learning process. In the end, I took my original image, brightened and sharpened it, before creating the model. After I put it into blender, I got the texture map and brightened and sharpened that one, then put on that texture after upload. Attached is the portal/elemental gate I ended up with.

I used an AI image and uploaded into an AI app to do most of the editing. I changed the shading, vibrance, and sharpness in Corel. I used Blender to import /export.

I guess I am a no talent moron, not an artist. ;)

My point is: The anti-AI stance is gatekeeping of the highest form. It's absurd. Photography wasn't considered art until it was. Digital art was the same.

I really don't care if you ever consider what I do as art. Feel free not to look. And the gatekeeper is what keeps people from being creators more than anything else.

Many many thanks to Jimmy Olsen and Lavia Lavine for your coaching, patience, and teaching. Many thanks to Contessa LaCombe for her coaching and knowledge regarding texturing mesh. Many thanks to Lone Wolf for making that video that took away much of the fear of trying for me. It takes a community. Many thanks to everyone who encourages me to keep trying, failing, and trying again.

Holi est un lieu où l'on trouve une harmonie entre méditation, relaxation et sensualité, dans un cadre serein et respectueux. L'atmosphère est apaisante, avec des couleurs douces, des éléments naturels et une lumière tamisée. C'est un espace où l'on peut se reconnecter à soi-même, explorer sa sensualité dans un environnement intime, tout en étant respectueux de ses propres limites et de celles des autres. Un endroit pour éveiller les sens, se détendre et expérimenter un plaisir doux et bienveillant.
Holi is a place where meditation, relaxation, and sensuality come together in a serene and respectful environment. The atmosphere is calming, with soft colors, natural elements, and dim lighting. It’s a space where one can reconnect with themselves, explore their sensuality in an intimate setting, all while being mindful of their own boundaries and those of others. A place to awaken the senses, relax, and experience gentle and compassionate pleasure.

There is no virtual and real for me, my avatar is me, I am my avatar, everything is my reality...

The way I work is a back and forth between the virtual and the real;
Most of the time, everything starts with a 3D model that is often used in my virtual installations, then this model is printed in 3D and becomes a physical sculpture. Finally, I sometimes scan these sculptures while keeping the alterations they contain and reintroduce them into the virtual space.

These different works have superimposed layers, by playing with the different techniques, they transform, reveal glitches, this mutation is the reflection of the random and multiple visions that I like to explore.

In the AnatoBotanica region, I created a space where you can see my real sculptures in the form of scans, and also a gallery with works in augmented reality.

Some of my actual sculptures, as well as augmented reality digital prints are available for sale, to view my work please visit: https://artmvn.art/

♥Thank you Pangea Grid team for letting me build on Anatobotanica ♥

By popular demand, I'm now adding some add-ons for the Reborn 3.0 body I posted a few days ago, they include the Juice Rolls, Soft Arms, and Soft Thighs all scripted to auto-hide and receive materials changes from the body! Since my grid is still being developed, even though my store region is up, my new friends at Sciatti Shops, has offered to put them out for everyone to grab, I thank them very much!

After being asked several times about my Sphynx Animesh cats with cat tree, I have now decided to release them. They can be found in the Yin Yang Town Backup Store region which you can reach via the teleport board on YYT Main. I wish you a lot Fun with the little naked kittens ;-)

Sadly... It seems there's a loss of interest among the general population for all things metaverse... People are moving on to other games, or not playing games at all any more, and taking on additional real life work to offset the crazy inflation happening around the world... I've noticed huge down turns in the numbers of people getting into virtual worlds lately. Can't say I blame 'em... All the name calling, in fighting, back biting, hate spewing, trolling, and worse going around.
But it is what it is... What is it? You ask... Well, it's such a huge reduction in numbers that only a small percentage of "hard-core" virtual lifers remain... It's sad... It's unfortunate... We have seen many grids recently shutting their doors and I fear we will see many more admins clicking the red power off button in the future. Anyway to all those leaving, I bid you safe travels, and a happy life. Remember us few lone die-hard souls forever permafrosted into the fabric of the metaverse...
