Dear Friends of the Virtual Carnival,

What an incredible time we have had! Once again, we were able to celebrate an unbelievably beautiful carnival in the Pangea Grid together. It was a festival of colors, imagination, and pure joy. One of the undisputed highlights was our Rose Monday parade, where creativity and community spirit came together in a truly impressive way.

A huge thank you goes to all those who, with tireless dedication and boundless imagination, built the incredibly creative floats, airplanes, UFOs, and many other wonderful constructions. You transformed the Pangea Grid into a true carnival spectacle and brought joy to countless people!

We are especially delighted that so many external grids joined us again this year, making our carnival an even more diverse and exhilarating event. A heartfelt thank you to Soul Grid, Monroose Grid, Nabila Grid, CCI Bikerworld, SoA.Bad and SINAS.S, HG Safari, and Loru.Destiny from the Grid artdestiny! Your participation has once again enriched and brought life to this Rose Monday parade.

I would also like to extend a special thank you to Abraxas and Lilie Oller, Bink Draconia, Finja and Jason Flux, Tutz, Lampithaler and Reyno Parx, Lilly Topas, Kitty Sarrasine,, and all the many dedicated participants who made this carnival what it was: an unforgettable experience!

As we cherish the memories of this wonderful carnival in our hearts, we already look ahead: Next year, we will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Cologne Virtual Carnival! A very special jubilee that we will mark with even more brilliance, even more magic, and even more enthusiasm. The anticipation is already immense!

With a short video insight, I bid you farewell and say from the bottom of my heart Thank you! For your enthusiasm, your creativity, and your love for the carnival. Without you, this festival would not be the same!

Three cheers from the heart: Kölle Alaaf! Pangea Alaaf! Virtual Carnival Alaaf!

With carnival greetings and full of excitement for next year,

Yours, Marlon Wayne

As many people know... I am the cat's meow. I have 2 cats, dash & applejack, which I adopted from a shelter. They were found in the sewer drain. Someone tried to drown them? I don't know. But any way. They are very happy now living in my house. But aside from this and their many funny antics, I am announcing my return to the virtual worlds. Since the recovery was awesome, (and why wouldn't it be? I did it.), I now have most of my builds replaced. It is with great joy and fierce resolution that I have decided to tear down the wizardry shop again. ( I tore it down once and let Safine sell the magic huds for me.) But it came back, when I recovered the oars. This time I will sink the land under water and decimate the trees and shrubbery, plus I will obliterate the vines and flowers. This should leave nothing, but water. I do plan to leave the wizards house, since it is so full of magic, the wizards shack, and of course the school of magical education and generalized debauchery. I am deeply saddened to hear of the heartfelt tragedy osgrid is going through losing all their inventory... I know many of you will miss the early prim built furniture if only for it's historical sentiment. Many lands people owned but died after renting a server for 50 years will be disappeared from osgrid. Many people who died will be removed from the databases. Are you one of them? Boo! So anyways, as you may have surmised from my initial scribery on the wall of html everything is copacetic. Karma says what goes around comes around, a good reason to strap a 24 pack of charmin around your hiney. Cheers!

Central station
From here you get fast to Park Avenue/Central Park and old town red light district. Subway is still fake. Have to dig 4 km before a subway can run from Congress center over Park Avenue Plaza, Central station and Airport (perhaps expo center too) I should have done this first. Now it is more complicated with all the buildings.But ok.

hello everyone. This is my version of area 51. It's not ready, I'm still working on it. and there are still many things to be done. I would really like you to visit my region. as well as visiting other regions. just to see my work and give your opinion about it

It seems like people crave a balance between connection and autonomy.
Belonging to a community offers support, camaraderie, and shared experiences, but having personal space and privacy is important for self-expression and maintaining individuality.

This is my contribution to the OpenSim Film Festival by @lorudestiny1554.
You get a little insight into the idea behind Fort Sand.
A fictional town in the Wild West in the years 1860 - 1880,
in which ideally everyone gets along peacefully.
What would the world be without dreams?! ;)
I'm open to criticism, praise and/or suggestions.
Feel free to use the comments section or contact me inworld in the Moonrose Grid.
Have fun watching.
Yours, Chris!

The Opensim Worlds Fair is coming up for the month of March, and it's huge! In addition to my regular display, I was asked to create a PBR basics tutorial on their Tech area. And this pic was taken on low graphics settings to show that you don't need to have it on ultra for it to look good. I look forward to seeing everyone at the Fair :-)

Hello all
Perhaps it is not known for most people here. I would like to introduce something new that is more known or even common for player in new games.
We all know the problem with mesh hair and that flexi hair is not perfect too. If we would have flexi mesh hair then complexity would increase to mio. Much too much. The hair problem is not solved in many games. Even in VRchat the hair problem is not perfectly solved but right now the best solution. For clothes especially coats etc it is the same problem.
But we can also have other solution for clothes. It is not flexi but we could have animesh clothes. It looks almost realistic. Roland Francis created some animesh clothes and here you can see it in video. You get it on his Neiferleaf sim in shop at landing point. Here in this video you can see. It was not meant for showing of animesh clothes, but doesn't matter. Good job Roland!

The 3.9 earthquake in New Hampshire this morning was my fault. i was manifesting. :D I started working on Hobomock the giant last night. He is a deity in Algonquin legend that causes earthquakes and changes the course of rivers. I must have woken him up. :)

It is already 9 months old, but here on this Website never promoted in this way. You get couple walk for opensim created by Sergio Rodriguez. As single script to walk with your real avi partner (AI Bot) or you can even use it with an NPC Companion. You can even walk stairs with couple walk.
Here my promo video for couple walk with different cam adjustments. It is already scripted for smooth cam you can change easily.
https://rumble.com/embed/v4ov3h0/?pub=4
Valerie NatureInSim has built Couple Walk in her NPC Companion since her 3.0 Version and you can even build in a script to use AI to make your companion intelligent. Just put the script in the hud and it works automatically. There are many possibilities to create your own AI NPC with different LLMs. (Not to confuse with a Bot as own Avi Account.) You can have a Companion as NPC you can talk with and also can walk as couple at the same time. It is not working for hypergridding as if you would use an AI Bot with own Avi account, but for playing around on your grid it is enough.
If you want to make movies you have to make a lot of compromises, because for fluent changes you need the hud. If Firestorm would support Quicktime of apple it would be no problem and we could record from Firestorm itself like snapshots. So there is only solution to hide huds. The couple walk hud can be removed completely and it still works. If you use couple walk with your NPC Companion then you have to size it very small to have a big screen without hud.
Thanks to Valerie for building couple walk in her NPC companion. This is opensim for open source teamwork. Sharing is caring.

EUROPA FARM now with its newest vertical farm system - feeding aliens on planets around 10 light years distance!
To go there, go to SIM EUROPA, then at MAGABAGA INTERSIM station, teleport to there or other regions.
Enjoy :)

When you are sitting alone on your sim and you are not in mood for building stuff, it can be boring. Just waiting that someone visits you? Not really. To go on Lbsa, Darkhearts Plaza or AMV Welcome for socializing? Maybe if people are not afk and just parking their avi there. The 3 places are right now the most visited in opensim but no guarantee to have conversations. I like it to talk with Petula at the beach cafe drinking coffee. Right now on Big City Life the UFO over little New Jersey is theme for everyone in the big city. You can even see from the Park Avenue the UFO from far. So no wonder that we talk about it. But Petula seems not really trained for Ufos. lol Our talk here:
[09:42] Cheryl Furse: what do you know about ufos?
[09:42] Petula: Check back later and see if I learn the answer to that one.
[09:42] Cheryl Furse: Are ufos existing?
[09:42] Petula: I really couldn't say for sure.
The talk was over. Just short small talk and the bus arrived. lol

Just added a new Japanese Main Gate to Lunaria Emporium on Wolf Territories Grid. Click the Japanese teleport board in the lobby to get to the display area, or you can take the bridge directly across.

Included with the main gate are one straight wall section, one corner wall section, and a corner wall tower that are modify and copy so that you can create a perimeter wall of any size for your build. All parts have both pbr and standard textures for use with any viewer.

This is part of an ongoing full reconstruction of my Japanese area. Next on the list are revisions of my older tea houses and pavilions, a new temple, a larger more opulent home, and a castle.

Are you using a 4K monitor ? Are you looking to upgrade ?

I publish here some benchmark in the hope it might help those who are looking to up part their performances using Firestorm. I was myself looking to find those information before i upgraded.

This will allow you to see what performance you could get with a similar hardware. I chose Intel, but AMD is also a very good choice, so for comparison it would need to be an AMD with similar performance to get similar result, the same for the video card.

Please note, these benchmark are with Firestorm with everything enabled Ultra Detail and Distance view set to 864. With a 4k Monitor (3840x2160)

here we are. another collaborative project that opensim allows.
starting from a fact that could pass for a joke we have a group and a region.
to participate it's simple. you must be the creator of the object and give it full perm.
the region is provided to us by hyacinthe admin of https://groovyverse.com/.
you need the group to rez.
the osw group : https://opensimworld.com/groups/1078
there is no desire for competition or even provocation.
let's say that it is the product of amateur creators but in a less standardized way
