The old sofa looks very beautiful when I used PBR material brown leather on it, also I changed the material of the wood and gave the cushions an elegant look with the help of silver fabric material. If anyone needs this sofa, please contact me. Also in my residence there are many more interesting PBR furniture. Сome and see, the photo does not convey this amazing view. My entire residence is 60% PBR

Another fun project. "The Legend of La Mariecomo" She was a legendary witch of south-east New Brunswick Canada, who lived from 1838 - 1910. She was like the Marie Laveaux of Canada. I learned of her while studying my Mi'kmaq and French ancestry. I think we have a few people from that area in OpenSim. If anyone knows of her story, I would love to hear from you.

There is a book that is out of print, unfortunately: La mariecomo: Roman (Collection Les Romanciers du jour ; R-112) (French Edition)

"Mariecomo is the story of an Acadian witch (born in 1838, died around 1910) who made the rain and the good weather during the second half of the 19th century in the Acadian villages of the southeast coast of New Brunswick. From Cap-Pelé to Richibouctou, it was the "country of Mariecomo" and like the other sorcerers, witches, spellcasters, fortune tellers, readers of the black books, the Little and Great Albert, the Richibouctou Tears, celebrants of black masses, white and black magic, etc., Mariecomo was part of the "sect" that the world called the "sorcerers of the Coast"."

Blessed Yuletide from The Starchilds!
Let this be my gift and Blessing to you: 'May, when give the choice, you always choose kindness. For you are all Children of the Earth and Starry Heavy, but your race is of Heaven Alone'.
For it's when the choice is the hardest to make, that becomes the most meaningful. May, when blame, when criticism, when frustration are the easy paths, you still make the hardest choice to be kind. For in this dwells a great Mystery of the quality of humankind.
As Miradola portrayed:
'We have given thee, Adam, no fixed seat, no form of thy very own, no gift peculiarly thine, that thou mayest feel as thine own, have as thine own, possess as thine own the seat, the form, the gifts which thou thyself shalt desire. A limited nature in other creatures is confined within the laws written down by us. In conformity with thy free judgment, in whose hands I have place thee, thou art confined by no bound; and thou wilt fix limits of nature for thyself. I have placed thee at the centre of the world. Neither heavenly nor earthly, neither mortal nor immortal have we made thee. Thou, like a judge appointed for being honourable, art the moulder and maker of thyself; thou mayest sculpt thyself into whatever shape thou dost prefer. Thou canst grow downward into the lower natures which are brutes. Thou canst again grow upward from thy soul's reason into the higher natures which are divine'.
Bright Blessing!

Teaching myself pbr materials. Very different process to get those materials into OS. This is the clearest comparison yet of the difference between legacy materials and pbr materials. The one on the left was the best I was able to do with regular materials using only the original diffuse, normal, and specular textures. The one on the right uses all the original textures and shows them correctly.

Well after a hiatus due to RL, I am slowly rebuilding the sim, at the moment there isn't much in the way of goodies. However, I will be working like a mofo to get items brought to the store for you. Please be patient whilst I work on the sim (I am doing this on my own).

Hopefully see you soon, drop by and say hello!

Discover the Chapel of Tranquility: Your Sanctuary Awaits

Step into the Chapel of Tranquility, the perfect addition to your town. From the moment you enter, you’ll feel an immediate sense of peace and calm, enveloped by the sacred atmosphere of this serene space.

Unlike a traditional church, which serves as a gathering place for communal worship, a chapel is designed for personal reflection or small, intimate gatherings. Here, you can worship and reflect on your own terms—no need for a pastor or priest. This space is yours to experience in solitude or with a few close companions.

The chapel features a bell tower that chimes on the hour, adding a touch of timeless grace. You can also touch the bell to hear its resonant tone at any time. The benches offer a variety of animations, with two different poses in each of the four benches.

At the altar, you’ll find scripted animations to enhance your worship experience. The Eucharist plate and goblet are also scripted, allowing you to partake in communion with the Body of Christ (wafer) and the Blood of Christ (wine). Simply add either to immerse yourself in this sacred ritual.

To further enrich your experience, a leather-bound Bible, a Hymnal, and altar candles are included. All of these items are neatly boxed and placed beside the altar for your convenience.

The Chapel itself is available in a box located outside the entrance, and arrows on the street will guide you there. While visiting, take a moment to explore the other architectural wonders in the region—all handcrafted over the years and freely available to help you build your sim.

Made for my Christian friends, I hope you will enjoy this chapel as much as I did building it. Peace, Love, and Light! ~*Star*~

Anyone here missing a chicken???

My secret test lap today on the new go-kart track in Pangea was unfortunately not accident-free..... :(

You can get all the info on how the track works at the GoKart Rezzer near the landing point...

Meine heimliche Proberunde heute auf der neuen GoKartBahn in Pangea verlief leider nicht unfallfrei..... :(

Alle Infos wie die Bahn funktioniert erhaltet ihr am GoKart-Rezzer in der Nähe des Landepunkts...

The MAGABAGAS intersim maglevs are now rezzed by rezzers available on all INTERSIM AREAS in all regions(but the sandbox).

Intructions on how to use it are in MAGABAGA and in English and its super easy:
01- Click the rezzer;
02 - Once maglev shows up, take a seat;
03- Wait for 10 seconds and maglev will start run automatically, crossing allover the eight (4x4s) regions!! (*)
Have fun!

There are 12 different textures to choose from to suit whatever your décor is and it's free, full perm and waiting just for you!

Hello Friends!

I am thrilled to announce that I have my own grid! It was time to expand my horizons, and for Le Beau Retrouvé to truly flourish, it needed the resources to bring my vision to life. My mission is to showcase the incredible talents of artists from all genres and media, along with our amazing DJs and singers in OpenSim during our events.

The gallery is a beautiful, peaceful place, a neutral territory open to all grids and all people. I hope it becomes a hub where artists and anyone else can meet, collaborate, and build a community of friends from all grids and countries. Perhaps our dream of world peace starts with us and our virtual worlds.

Land Of Xzar is also on the new grid for you to visit, and some exciting new regions will soon be open to the public. Please stop by and refriend me if you wish, as this is a new account and I will no longer be on the Genesis Roleplay Grid. Though I am no longer on Genesis, I support them as I do all grids in our community. I am thankful for the time I had and wish them well.

I am also deeply grateful for the overwhelming support I have received from my friends and the community. Your support has meant so much to me and has been an integral part of my journey.

So, what are you dreaming of?
