As some already know, we have had issues a couple days with access to the private E Grid lands.

Great News!

A configuration setting was adjusted and access was restored to the private lands here!

Thank you for your patience!

I woke up to a message from @Ferdzee casually saying, "Oh, by the way, your grid now supports PBR." Wait, WHAT? PBR? You mean DG has PBR now? Yep! Shiny, beautiful gold—Yay! Over time, I'll be updating all my jewelry. It’ll take a while, but the future is looking golden and brilliant! Dreamgrid 5.9 is PBR! Time to update your FS viewers people :) Thank you @Ferdzee you are my Hero!! Yayy

The Rainbow Bridge in Luxor. Working with glass using PBR, which needs texture, reflectivity, and transparency to look real. Before PBR we were missing the reflectivity part, which could only be rendered by duplicating the prims above and flipping them upside down.

The excitement of turning a dream into reality. It begins as a spark of imagination, a vivid mental picture of a breathtaking world—perhaps a misty mountain range, an alien landscape, or a bustling medieval city. This dream is like the first stroke of inspiration for an artist.

When you start building, the blank OpenSim region becomes your canvas, a digital palette where each prim, texture, and script is a brushstroke. The process is exhilarating as you shape the terrain, paint the sky with colors and clouds, and breathe life into your vision. You sculpt cliffs, plant forests, and carve rivers, adding details that make your world not just beautiful but immersive.

What makes OpenSim even more thrilling is its ability to provide massive land sizes without the prohibitive costs of other virtual platforms like Second Life. The expansive landscapes give creators room to explore their wildest ideas, unburdened by financial constraints. This freedom fuels creativity, allowing for sprawling builds that are limited only by the creator’s imagination.

There's also a sense of discovery as the imagined meets the possible. You experiment with elements—adjusting lighting for a perfect sunset, scripting interactive elements, or adding soundscapes that make the environment hum with life. The joy of creation is heightened when the imagined dream surpasses your expectations and becomes a place where others can explore, share, and marvel.

Building in OpenSim is not just crafting pixels; it’s the act of creation in its purest form—a thrilling dance between imagination and realization, where the limits are only bound by the extent of your dreams.

This is an excellent place to start:

This group is now one years old, and the largest, and most active on OSW. I created this group as an alternative to posting on the sometimes toxic front page box. It's clearly something that people find useful. Thanks to everyone for helping folks who are looking for stuff.

After a year, its time to assess and see what improvements we might be able to make. I know one big issue has been getting your posts noticed, as people may not make it a habit to check in here to see if there is someone looking for help.

The solution I found was to ask that people use our group chat to provide a link to their post to immediately alert people about it. The tricky thing is mentioning what kind of thing you are looking for, so the people who might be able to help are alerted, without saying exactly what you are looking for, which might result in a discussion in chat rather than a response to the post. We aim to be an alternative to asking for help via chat.

I seem to always be on the verge of finding a way to help say what you are looking for, generally, without saying what you are looking for specifically. So far the solution eludes me.

So, other than asking for help coming up with a solution to that dilemma, I'm looking for people to let us know about any other issues and/or suggestions about how to make the group work better.

Also, if someone wants to help plan a one year anniversary party event, let me know. It's an opportunity to get together with the friends you have, and the friends you have yet to meet, and to acknowledge everyone who has offered help in the past year.

Miss Munk will be spinning her wheels of steel at 1 pm grid time, at The Piazza!
Bring your headphones and get on down here and listen to nonstop beat matching and full spectrum sound!

Black White Castle wird schon bald 1 Jahr alt - Zeit, die Region endlich mit einer Party einzuweihen! Wie der Name schon sagt, ist Black White Castle komplett in schwarz-weiß Tönen gehalten, daher sind möglichst monochrome Outfits, vielleicht sogar im Vintage-Stil sehr wünschenswert!!! Schließlich soll sich jeder Partygast wie auf einer Zeitreise zurück in die Schwarzweiß-Film-Ära fühlen.

Black White Castle will be 1 year old soon - so it is time to finally inaugurate the region with a party! Black White Castle is completely designed in black and white tones, so monochrome outfits, perhaps even vintage style, are highly desirable!!! Every party guest should feel like traveling back in time to the black and white film era.
