The Festival is starting to come together.
Here are 4 photos by Doc Nolan of four very different builds already in place.
They are by: Aphra Hendrix, Kim Starr, Lain Iwakura, and Jillian 2000 Quintessa.
Can you guess who did what?
If you haven't finished your build, there is still time - but it's running out. See you on the grid!

TELEPORT HUD - This is the most advanced teleport hud you will ever see in any of the grids. It can be used to teleport to a grid, then a region, then a location in that region. It uses DialogPlus which means you can have pages of places saved in it. Also I got it to save all the locations to a notecard, so in case you reset it, you won't lose all your locations. Additionally, you can edit the notecard and add new locations manually if you like, then save notecard. Then click the hud, and click load. All the new locations you manually entered will be loaded into the hud. --
Now... Some grids will not let you get access to the gateway information via osGetGridGateway... So in other words, it's going to break on some sims, but you can always reset it, and just know that it's ok to tp to those grids, just don't try to tp around once you get there, you can always use ctrl-shift-h to get home if you have a home location set. So why a TP hud? We had these in sL and they make life easier, if you are smart enough to know how to use one. It's just better, that's why.
Keep in mind, that it is purposefully designed so that when you tp to a grid ONLY those regions in that grid will appear under the [Regions] button. Once you select a region it will tp you to that region. Then you click [Locations] and only the locations that are IN THAT SIM will be displayed. This is done on purpose to avoid being confused about what locations are in what sim on what grid. It's intelligently designed to make it as easy as possible to navigate around the hypergrids.

The central spot for the sim environment of interstellART_exhibitions, introduces sometimes collaborative projects of independent artists on the basis of a specific topic and serves sometimes as a creative area for the sim-variations of Asmita Duranjaya.
In the moment the sim basis shows on its 9 regions the exhibition "MnemoScapes - Forget Me Not".
Asmita explains: "MnemoScapes try to visualize parts of my composite personality, with memories of the past mixed with imaginations and reflections. It is ME, what you see there on each of the 9 regions: DigiScape, LonerScape, CityScape, PalmScape, DesertScape, WinterScape, FractalScape, ForestScape and the CentralScape with my musical background related to Early Music of the Renaissance and the Middles Ages. In correspondence to my own 3D-installations I found a similar intention in the work of 8 other female artists, who work in 2D. They are presented with a link to infos about the person and 3 examples of their work on an easel-display in the CenterScape." There is a hud available with elaborated information on each of the 9 Scapes and with a tp to every region of interstellART_exhibitions plus interStellART. In a sky-globe there are more exhibitions of 7 active artists in OS-Grid: Caro Fayray, Shenn Tao, Victoria Logan, Cherry Manga, Azi Az, Sujeewa Kumari, lalie Sorbet. All those areas are accessible with the hud.

Recently I have been contemplating the current issues facing the world and the terrible Burdens that so many are carrying. It made me think on my favourite character in Lord of the Rings, Samwise Gamgee. A humble hobbit with a heart to serve those he cared most about. A heart brave enough to follow his friend into what could be considered hell. Sam had made a promise to Gandalf that he would not lose Frodo and he intended to keep to that. The image above is what i have been contemplating for todays world, that Sam could not carry Frodo's burden of the ring but he could carry Frodo. How can this scene apply to us? What can we do? In what way can we respond to the burdens of the world.

There are so many burdens and we cant possibly carry them all or we will break. I feel the answer to this question is to "Pick a burden today that we feel we can help another carry!" It can be a small burden or deed that you choose but help someone carry it. Come alongside someone who is in need, spend time chatting to someone who is lonely, donate to a cause you feel for. We can also do things for others in world, help someone with a project, say something nice about their builds, be excited for what they have created. Also reach out to someone whom you have a grievance with and take responsibility for your part in it. Connect with those outside your social circle, get out of our echo chambers and listen to what others have got to say. We cant control what others do but we can sure as heck control ourselves and our responses to others.

I now have a Cessna Commander Aircraft with Hud available for you to purchase for $0.
The Plane is located at the International Airport in the first Hanger.
Just click the the picture on the easel to buy.
Before flying please read the enclosed notecard.
I will also have a King Air Plane avaialbe very shortly.
Enjoy it and have fun.

I share the sentiment towards the people of Ukraine, I also became sad with the people of Iraq, or Libya, Yemen, Somalia or Pakistan. But I didn't see flags of those countries when the U.S. invaded them. It is curious to see how it is OCCUPATION when the US invades a country, but when another world power occupies a country it is called INVASION. We should put politics aside and think only about the suffering of those countries that are illegally occupied by others.

*** WEEPING WILLOW TREES V2** Not a new release but found a better decent model, now looking more like RL - Available for FREE and FULLPERM at FOREST AREA (ground) at BOX 05.
Ps. Seasonal textures included!

How many of you have wanted to install Marvelous Designer only to find how expensive it is? Me too, I had it at one time and loved it. I made a skirt that I still have and wanted to try creating clothing again so researched and found a great "Garment Tool" addon for blender it is only 40 USD and works just like Marvelous Designer! I am learning it now so wish me luck lol this is where to purchase it! https://bartoszstyperek.gumroad.com/l/GarmentTool

Close to both Tokyo and Mount Fuji the small town of Hakone holds something of a revelation. However, unless you are from Japan, you may well not have heard of it. The town plays host to a large open air museum where the works of many famous artists are held - outdoors. It balances art and nature in harmony. The artworks, combined with the beautiful views of the surrounding mountains give the visitor an unforgettable experience. Now recreated in OpenSim for all those missing travelling in Real Life.

A famous but humble man once said, "“When I get dressed, I put my pants on one leg at a time like everyone else." Here at oh HELLO we put our pants on both legs and butt all at once! Amazing but true.

Here is a new outfit at oh HELLO with a pair of all-at-once putter-onner pants and a matching top. The detaling on these is perfectly matched by an exquisite white-silver scarf/necklace and the pair of flats. I always add the hair last when assembling an outfit, and this hair just thrilled me with how right it looks. You will be thrilled that you can personalize your look with the fat-packs in the vendor.

oh HELLO. Outfits with Options and our patented all-at-once putter-onner pants.
fireandicegrid.net:8002/Xinashi

Hair History Is Being Made Today at oh HELLO
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word "redhead" has been in use since at least 1510. According to me, my AV has been a redhead not once since at least 1510 -- until today. You can get an outfit at oh HELLO that commemorates this historic day, and if you like, you can use the hair HUD to make your hair a historic color for yourself.

Oh HELLO - Outfits with Options &, every 500 years, historic hair.

My apologies for the repost, I was trying to edit the post not delete it :( I got click happy.

Fairy of the Glen is available in the fantasy section of the shop. They are animesh with 5 styles to choose from.

Scripts are thanks to Arcadia Shop. Directions on activation are included in the box

The fairies float and fly around fluttering their wings. The animations are in a different order for each fairy in order to avoid synching if you put out more than one.

They add a little action wherever they are.

Have a great day!

Are you searching for love but can't find it? Do you long for someone to hold and enjoy a passionate romance with? I've taken satyr aeon's opensim npc framework and stuffed it in a genie jar just for you. What? in english. I've made a genie jar you touch, and select men or women. There are about 10 in the genie jar, and they are very very beautiful. You can command them to do anything you wish, as long as you have the ability to rez npc's, and you can allow scripts and object entry. Example: Cindy follow me, and cindy will follow you until you say Cindy stop. Cindy use ~ball0 and Cindy will use whatever bed, chair, or other that you can imagine. What's more is you can use it with her. For the ladies, the men do the same things. There are many commands, please feel free to contact me for a list. You can say Cindy seen all and she will list all the people she has seen on your sim. Cindy light and cindy will turn on a light for you. Cindy movetovr and cindy moves to that location. Cindy flywith me. Cindy come. and Cindy will come to you anywhere in the sim (as long as you don't have teleport routing set)(( you may also have to region shout in order to be heard). You can also control the men's parts. Contact me for the list of commands. The possibilities are endless... Come to Free Magic and get your impossibly perfect love today. Your better half is waiting...

Well, since I made the "Enchanted" section at the shop, I feel like I need to put new things in it. This always happens, I end up on a theme for a while (cough, cough polar bears).

So, I give you Magical Mushrooms (no, not those kind of mushrooms, that's another theme).

These Fungi have the power to be tree size and come in several variations including versions with 2 spore color choices.
All the textures are in the box for those who like to customize :).

Have a magical day!

Was wir euch fürs neue Jahr wünschen:

Nehmt euch Zeit zum Träumen,
das ist der Weg zu den Sternen.

Nehmt euch Zeit zum Nachdenken,

I don't usually support mesh bodies that have got nothing to do with Ruth2 or Roth2. But I've come across an improvement trick for Athena 6 with BoM that nobody seems to know.

The major problem is that the skin on Athena 6's limbs may look weird under certain viewer settings, much like a lighting bug. Some skin areas look brighter or darker than they should.

A minor problem is that alpha masks don't work on Athena 6 although they technically should with BoM.

The reason is because Athena 6 has a chaotic hodge-podge of alpha settings all over it. Parts are set to alpha masking, more parts are set to alpha blending (it's them which may look weird to you or to others), most have alpha off (this is why alpha masks don't work on Athena 6 out of the box).

The solution:

Step 1: Edit your Athena 6 body. All of it, not just any piece. Select it in your inventory while wearing it.

Step 2: Go to the Texture tab.

Step 3: Set the alpha mode to alpha masking.

Now the different shades of skin colour are gone, but your hands and feet may turn partially white. Don't panic, this is supposed to happen and will be fixed in the next steps.

Step 4: Set the mask cutoff to 128. If it is already 128, set it to 127 and back to 128.

The white should disappear, and your body should look normal again. Or better than what you saw previously.

Step 5: Take the body off and put it back on to save the new settings.

Also, you can now wear alpha masks like you can on the system body which might save you from the hassles that come with the alpha cuts on the HUD, and which you can save with outfits. The only limitation is that the alpha masks still don't work on fingernails and toenails.

Should alpha masks stop wearing, just edit the body and set the mask cutoff to 127 and back to 128.

The same method should work on Adonis 4 if you want to use alpha masks with BoM.

Oh, and before anyone tries this on Ruth2 v4 or Roth2 v2: You don't have to, at least not with the "BoM" bodies and Ruth2 v4 "Business". They've got alpha mode controls on the HUD. The "0.8.2.1" versions, on the other hand, are de-scripted and have no HUD, so they require this trick, too, if alpha masks don't work.
