Meine Weihnachtswelt ist fertig. War zwar viel Arbeit aber am Ende wird man belohnt wenn man sich das Ergebnis anschaut. Danke an Alle die hier Shops haben und wo ich mir alles zusammen holen konnte. Tolle Arbeit die ihr Alle leistet und das für nichts. Wir können euch nicht genug danken. Eine schöne Weihnachtszeit für euch alle und kommt gut ins neue Jahr.

My Christmas world is finished. It was a lot of work, but in the end, it's so rewarding when you see the result. Thank you to everyone who has shops here and where I could get everything. You all do such amazing work, and for nothing! We can't thank you enough. Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas season and a happy New Year.

In OpenSim, people don’t really vanish.
Sure — the avatar logs off, the profile goes still, and the regions they touched fall a little quieter. But the truth is, no one who poured their creativity into this world ever truly leaves it behind.

Every builder, scripter, artist, designer, and dreamer who passes on becomes something more permanent than any prim or mesh:
they become a new star over our metaverse.

A bright point of light watching over the worlds we keep shaping.

Their work, their ideas, their imagination — those stay woven into the grids, the stories, the landmarks, and the communities they helped grow. And every time we rez a prim, sculpt a landscape, or chase some wild idea just to see if we can… we’re carrying their spark forward.

We honor them best by continuing to build boldly.
By creating freely.
By keeping OpenSim vibrant, weird, beautiful, and alive.

Because the metaverse doesn’t forget its creators — it turns them into constellations.

And we look up, keep going, and make sure our worlds shine even brighter. #Luna #Mal #Torben #Triz

About the newest Firestorm Viewer: I want to love it, but I don't. I really do love PBR materials and they show up just fine with the new viewer and they seem to have fixed the blurry, out of focus view when you move around in-world. Problem is, Animesh. I have to be right on top of the animesh to see it move. Koshari and I were in-world tonight and couldn't see any animesh moving unless we were right next to them and even then they seemed to lag out a bit. We both changed our viewer to the old, pre PBR viewer 6.6.17 and could see the animesh moving from all the way across the sim. My guess is that, because you are constantly rendering PBR textures in-world, they decreased the animation visibility to compensate for it. Until Firestorm gives us a toggle, slider, or patch to bring back proper animation distance, sticking with 6.6.17 is the smart move. The PBR viewer is beautiful, but not worth sacrificing functional animesh. That's a hard pass for me
Anyone have thoughts on this? Does anyone have any inside scoop on whether they plan on fixing this.

“Animation culling” is basically the viewer deciding not to bother updating animations for things that are “too far away” or “not important enough.”

Think of it as Firestorm saying:
“Hmm… you’re 40 meters away from that animesh? Yeah, I’m not wasting CPU cycles on making it dance. Freeze frame it is.”

More technically:

Animation Culling = Distance-Based Animation Shutdown

The viewer stops updating animations on avatars or animesh once they’re beyond a certain distance or priority threshold.
Instead of actually animating them, it just shows the last frame and saves performance.

Why viewers do it

To reduce:

CPU load

GPU load

Network updates

Overall rendering cost

In the PBR viewer, the rendering pipeline is heavier (PBR = shiny but hungry), so the viewer culls animations more aggressively.
What is the point of animesh if it only animates when you’re making out with it?

My PBR Japanese Home at Lunaria Emporium has been updated with better reflection probe coverage and improved day lighting inside. As seen in the photo, there are light switches in each room that control the different zones and the colors represent different lighting types.

Blue is for inside daylight and red is for the interior lamplight. The green one is only in the front room and out in the garden in the pavilion and controls exterior lighting.

If you have a previous version of this home, please contact me in Discord for an updated version https://discord.gg/SMBaqan3Ny If you would like to know more about reflection probes and PBR, check out the Tutorials channel in my Discord server.

You can walk through the home at the Emporium by clicking the Japanese sign on the left as you enter the lobby.

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!💕😘

Ages ago, I satirized events in SL like "Best in Bikini" and "Best in Cute" with my “Best In Demo” event. SL Creators used demo tags and took other such measures to prevent people from using a free version as a final, permanent piece. So, imagine your Avatar using a pre-mesh no-mod shape from a shop with demo sized huge hands and feet. You'd be wearing flexihair with demo signs attached. Add on a skin extensively tattooed with “demo,” and wearing clothing with the word demo woven into the texture. You'd have a nightmare of an avatar – and one that might win the “Best In Demo” event. The prize? A demo version of a trophy.

The event was hilarious, and so popular that other clubs copied the idea. You can say my “Best in Demo” event was a demo for Best In Demo events.Then came OS. Sadly, there are no demos here, and so, no Best In Demo events either. But there are other fun event ideas. Consider “Best In Complexity”. It's actually a bad event idea, and found in the OSW group "Best of Bad Event Ideas." The group has a new bad event idea: Best In Doomscrolling. Remember -- you can't get PTSD if you are the traumatic event. https://opensimworld.com/post/125621?msgSuccess=Posted

Add your own bad event idea to the group if you like.

X-petite: Vier Outfits, ein modischer Warnhinweis.

Weiß? Als wär’s ein Unschuldslamm mit Absatz. Streifen? Weil du dich nicht entscheiden musst, ob du süß oder gefährlich bist. Schwarz? Für alle, die beim Flirten lieber die Kontrolle behalten. Und Blau? Das Kleid, das aussieht wie „Ich hab keine Zeit für Smalltalk, ich bin hier, um zu glänzen.“

Diese Looks sind nicht für Leute, die sich fragen, ob das zu gewagt ist. Sie sind für Leute, die sich fragen, ob der Raum groß genug ist für ihr Ego und ihr Outfit. X-petite – trag’s, bevor es jemand anderer tut!

Hello friends. It's done. The first thing to open on the main island is the garden centre. There are hundreds of plants, from flower pots to giant palm trees. All plants on the island are available for purchase (right-click).
Later, the beach shop will open, followed by the DIY store. Then, with this start-up aid, all owners of a new island should be able to quickly begin building.

Have fun, everyone!
