As the clock strikes midnight on New Year’s Day, imagine yourself holding a fresh, blank novel with 365 pages—each day a new opportunity to craft your story. This is your book, your chance to pen a tale that reflects your dreams, challenges, and triumphs. What will this year’s story be? Will it be filled with courage, laughter, resilience, or love? Will it show growth, learning, and moments of joy? Each sunrise offers a clean slate to write something meaningful, something that adds to the legacy of your life.

Make this your year to live vividly and authentically, one page at a time.

Best wishes for an excellent New Year! 2025!

This Christmas, H&G is spreading holiday cheer with an array of exciting upgrades. While preserving beloved elements of the bullet homes, an entirely new Ubode Tested Homes region is in the works. But the improvements don't stop there - H&G Furniture is also undergoing a fresh new look. Both the homes and furniture updates are in progress, and will soon stand alongside the existing Homes and Gardens Regions, ushering in a Christmas filled with hope and renewal. Watch in the NEW Year For notices.

While most of us associate PBR only with mirrors and shiny metals, there is a lot more to it since all surfaces benefit from it. The top pic here shows the room with the old standard (blinn phong) textures and materials taken using the FS 6.6.17 viewer, while the bottom pic shows the same room with all pbr textures taken using the FS 7.1.11 viewer. Note that you can add both texture sets to a surface so that any viewer can see something. Also note that there is a reflection probe filling this room that prevents the blue light outside from seeping in (a current known bug being investigated).

Saturation, lighting, and detail are significantly improved across the board when all surfaces are pbr, which is what Physically Based Rendering was designed to do: to more accurately capture the interplay of light on various surfaces. For those wondering about how performance was affected, these were taken using my 8 year old desktop that has a GTX 1070 graphics card. I was at 40 fps on ultra graphics, but you don't need to set the graphics that high to get this look. That's because the new viewer is more efficient since it uses more of your computer's available resources.

Planned Maintenance this morning took out 3 nodes of our High Availability Cluster. the cluster moved things around to keep things online. We lost 2 nodes out of our Mariadb 5-node Galera cluster and brought them back automatically total down time I reckon 5-10 minutes for what for some grids would have ben a catastrophic failure. https://www.wolf-grid.com

SkyRealm embraces Spacetime. A complex and fascinating subject, and it continues to be an area of active research. The insights that have been gained from relativity have revolutionized our understanding of the universe, and they continue to challenge our intuition.

Fred Beckhusen-Ferd Frederix Thank you, for lending a hand in this project. Fred took a model with over 800 parts then used Blender modifiers to clean edges, and a script that helped to reduce the level of detail. He made it six layers of over a hundred parts each then stacked it on top of the mountain. Without Fred's help and guidance, this would not have been possible. Sincerely thank you, Fred. Jamie Anna Wright thank you for contributing to the clock collection. three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:SkyRealm

Imagine living in a house where you step out your back door and you are at the most amazing underwater world in Opensim! You always wanted to live next to the ocean, but somehow the underwater world was always missing. Instead of the usual backyard garden or patio, you’d have a direct connection to an oceanic paradise with more than 5,000 fish and animals.

You step in the water at your house and you are greeted by the soft sway of colorful coral reefs, schools of shimmering fish darting through crystal-clear waters, and the soothing sound of underwater currents. The vibrant sea life surrounds you, from playful dolphins and majestic sea turtles to curious jellyfish and exotic creatures you've only ever read about. This is now your back yard!

You could swim freely or explore in a variety of ways. Imagine taking a peaceful swim, discovering hidden underwater caves, or diving deeper to visit shipwrecks where you might uncover forgotten treasures. The world would be filled with endless opportunities for exploration, all from the comfort of your own home. Perhaps there’s even a stunning underwater garden filled with bioluminescent plants that glow in the dark or glowing creatures that light up the waters around you, creating an ethereal atmosphere.

For the first time, we are opening up our underwater worlds for 9 very lucky people who want to live there. There is an underwater home, a home with a cenote, a shack, a wreck and a few gorgeous homes. Although every house is different, the beauty of these homes begins when you step in the water. We are looking for residents who want to be active and make this their main home. These rentals are free....but we do not want land collectors, we want people who want to become a part of our community.

Just go to the Reef at friends grid and there is a large black tp board which will let you look at the houses in this very special location.

I'm reposting these two trees, a Wichita Juniper with berries and a Douglas Fir because after fighting with blender all night I managed to get them from 10 prims down to 3, (May be much higher in ubODE regions). The original load, I guess was too much so I had to break it down into parts and re do it about 3 time before it finally loaded like it should but by golly they're here, they're beautiful, they are nice and full, and they are full perm and free, waiting for you so they can help make your region(s) gorgeous. You'll find them in the Garden Center of our Mall. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Something wonderful is coming. working on free homes for you with surrounding, just changing with just one click on a button in your own region. full perm and a "how to". free to grab in a box at our grid when i finished. :) the future will be awesome. multiscene-rezzer on it's way. the first tries were working fine. now we rock the scenes and need some finetuning. the scrips will be full perm by the way too, so you may try them out yourself :) Costs? nothing but a smile by you because sharing is caring!

Notre chère ville toujours prête à vous accueillir, n'hésitez pas à vous inscrire sur le site http://agartha.ovh afin d'obtenir votre compte ainsi qu'un bel avatar que vous pourrez customiser à volonté et surtout participer à notre volonté d'agrandir la grille Agartha. Merci à vous tous.
