We imported an oar from another grid during a transfer and it had a botched bowling alley in it. Didn't realize it was replicating "physical" bowling pins all over the grid. lol. it got to the point where nobody could move like walking in molasses rubber bands. So I made this module to put physics to sleep when nobody is around. :) so we spent all day hunting down every last bowling pin and destroying it, which was tricking because they weren't showing up in area search and many of them were in 0,0,0 corners of regions all over the grid so we had to excavate and go deep-sea diving to find them. So now the grid is running smooth and no crashes. yay. The module is here maybe it's useful. it puts physical prims to sleep if nobody is on the region so it reduces the work of the physics engine. If someone drops by it magically wakes up all the physical prims. https://opensimworld.com/post/131135

Hello all flamsiefans!
I hate to break the news, but.....
we needed yet another upgrade;
I found that a sim restart, would return a dead flamsieflocky....
so, now, I've added an autostart function that makes the bunch come alive all by itself....imagine me, in a few months,,,,with some 10 diff kinda flocksies doing....NOT their thing...
All is set in zzhop, feel free to pick up your autoflamsie anytime!
Have fun,
Peter ☺

First an idea. Then the drawing. Then realization. Created in Rhino from scratch using curves, extrusion, and capping, with cabochons and beading using array along the curve. No AI then, Just imagination, design, and craftsmanship. When you learn the tools anything is possible. The key is to try the tools and addons. Blender has wonderful addon called JewelCraft https://blender-addons.org/jewelcraft/. Spend just a few minutes a day learning it and in no time you will be creating wonderful designs. Some say I really don't need jewelry in virtual but when you replicate your grandmothers ring or learn to do that for others it is wonderful. I once created a book locket and a grandmother's ring for someone those are my most fond memories. Thank you for the requests. I was asked have I tried MeshyAI in jewelry creating, not yet but I have played a bit with MeshyAI and yes I see how it can create wonderful mesh parts for jewelry virtually, not so much for RL jewelry. I recently 3d printed in wax my Peace for Ukraine Pendant and the detail is really nice, the next step is lost wax casting. Give jewelry creating a try, having a ton of fun!!

MazebzOS_AVX2-8-0-0-261400139 released
https://maze.bz/mazebzviewer.zip This one I went back to the texture picker again. I made a toggle between the big way and the old small way. I made it so if you stretch the firestorm one that it now remembers that for all panels till you do it again. So no more hidden titles from the huge textures ever ever again. If you want the texture bigger just hit the check mark where it says compact, open it again and boom HUGE texture.
