Greetings ! I am looking for advice on making a cave entrance dark and shadowy. I made a prim and it worked for the outside but as you walk in it just instantly daylight. A gradual tunnel I guess I need, but prims not work.

Whether you’re looking for a loyal companion, a questionable life-choice, or just something that stares at you with a glossy robot-frog face, there’s a bot waiting for you.
Adopt responsibly. Or don’t. It’s the apocalypse anyway.

New cyber/bots shop at Desolate Expanse, a good excuse to test the new GLB/GLTF import.

Come take a walk, meet the new species, pick your favorite, and pretend you’ll be a responsible guardian.
Adoption optional. Awe guaranteed.

Die Band, die Nein sagte: Eine unverschämt lange Ode an Fugazi

Willkommen, liebe Freunde der gepflegten Rebellion und des ökonomisch vertretbaren Konzertbesuchs.
Heute sprechen wir über eine Band, die in der glitzernden, lauten und oft unerträglich dummen Welt des Rock’n’Roll eine Anomalie darstellt.
Eine Band, deren größter Skandal darin bestand, keine Skandale zu haben.
Eine Band, die das Wort „Integrität“ so ernst nahm, dass es fast schon wieder komisch ist. Wir sprechen über Fugazi...

Happy Birthday, Ferd Frederix! 🎉

Today we celebrate not just another trip around the sun, but the man who’s kept whole worlds spinning.

Ferd, thank you for the countless hours you’ve poured into OpenSim — the fine-tuning, the bug hunting, the late-night fixes, the jaw-dropping characters and assets you’ve created, and the tools you’ve built that make our grids feel like home.
You’ve kept servers alive when they should have flatlined, solved problems the rest of us couldn’t even pronounce, and inspired new creators with your generosity and skill.

The OpenSim community runs smoother, plays harder, and dreams bigger because of you.

Here’s to your brilliance, your humor, your creativity… and to many more years of building worlds with your signature magic.

Happy Birthday, Ferd — we adore you!💕😘

Meet our newest recruit at Desolate Expanse — a small bot with a big heart… and absolutely zero sense of responsibility.
He “decorated” his corner with pink paint, insists it was art, and now refuses to give the brush back.

He may be clumsy, slightly radioactive, and emotionally unstable (the good kind), but he’s the perfect companion if you like chaos with a pastel aesthetic.

Come visit him, give him a pat, or take him home before he repaints the entire region.
Adopt a bot. Save your walls. Maybe.

🎄✨ This winter, Kingman City transforms into a Christmas wonderland. ✨🎄
🎁🌟 Wander through beautifully decorated streets, enjoy exclusive holiday offers, and immerse yourself in the joyful spirit of the season. 🌟🎁
❄️🎅 Right here in Arkham Grid, the magic of Christmas is waiting for you.
✨❤️ Experience it. Feel it. Live it. ❤️✨

Skinny Dip Beach Party & DJ YANA

Get ready to strip down and turn up.
Live DEEJAY' s will take you on a two-hour ride of high-energy beats.

Bikinis, bare skin, and beats that don’t quit.

This is the night to break loose, own your freedom, and dance like nothing’s off-limits.
Be there, or hear about it later.

A little rant. When SL implemented PBR textures, they included a script command called llSetRenderMaterial, which allows you to change the PBR material texture of a surface. Multiple scripts are now available there that do just that. This is similar to llSetTexture we've used forever to change the older blinn-phong textures.

When Opensim implemented their version of PBR, they decided that we didn't need osSetRenderMaterial activated for scripts, because really, who would actually use that stuff? If there's another more plausible reason I would love to hear it.

Ran into this trying to update a simple light sconce which allows you to touch the object to add light, fullbright, and glow to a surface to mimic a light that's turned on. For PBR, while turning on light is still the same, brightness and glow are managed by the emissive texture layer of a PBR Material. So to mimic a glowing light, you would need to be able to - you guessed it - CHANGE the material. But of course that's currently impossible in Opensim until someone incorporates that script function into code.

In the pics, you can see the PBR sconce on the left, and one with older textures on the right. In the top pic the light is off on both and in the bottom pic the light is on. The PBR glass looks great, and the light works, but you have no glow to show it's on. So for now, until osSetRenderMaterial is activated, I will have to set the glass material to always glowing. Or more likely, I will add a bulb inside with no PBR that will glow when touched.

Just put out a few more new Christmas Items including a fireplace and medieval hearth, Coco the Christmas Mouse, and a baby Christmas Owl and much more. Stop by and visit our Holidays & Seasons section to find some one of a kind Christmas Items that are free, full perm and made by your truly. Blessings and much love, Lavia
