Good morning to all you crazy shoppers out there. I hope you are all doing well! I have been putting out a few more items, I am slowly getting there. I have a lot of fillers and backdrops out and now I am working on the builds. I am putting scripts into the doors so it is taking me a bit more time than I would like. But please continue to hang in there with me and I will get there.... Eventually lol ♥

Hi! I'm an Aussie who has been in virtual worlds (SL & OS) for nearly 20 years. I'm a tertiary educator. My undergrad students have done lessons in SL every semester since 2008. I've developed two regions on Kitely in the past: Chinese Island & 1820 Singapore. Sadly, both are no longer online.

Best wishes for an excellent New Year! 2025!

This Christmas, H&G is spreading holiday cheer with an array of exciting upgrades. While preserving beloved elements of the bullet homes, an entirely new Ubode Tested Homes region is in the works. But the improvements don't stop there - H&G Furniture is also undergoing a fresh new look. Both the homes and furniture updates are in progress, and will soon stand alongside the existing Homes and Gardens Regions, ushering in a Christmas filled with hope and renewal. Watch in the NEW Year For notices.

Things I come across...

The rebuilding and restoration of the Notre-Dame de Paris is taking place not only in real life, but also on the hypergrid, where artist Hicks Adder is working on a dazzling replica. The ornamentation, structural arches, and foundation are quite complex, and it is a joy to watch the progress.

To be continued.

While most of us associate PBR only with mirrors and shiny metals, there is a lot more to it since all surfaces benefit from it. The top pic here shows the room with the old standard (blinn phong) textures and materials taken using the FS 6.6.17 viewer, while the bottom pic shows the same room with all pbr textures taken using the FS 7.1.11 viewer. Note that you can add both texture sets to a surface so that any viewer can see something. Also note that there is a reflection probe filling this room that prevents the blue light outside from seeping in (a current known bug being investigated).

Saturation, lighting, and detail are significantly improved across the board when all surfaces are pbr, which is what Physically Based Rendering was designed to do: to more accurately capture the interplay of light on various surfaces. For those wondering about how performance was affected, these were taken using my 8 year old desktop that has a GTX 1070 graphics card. I was at 40 fps on ultra graphics, but you don't need to set the graphics that high to get this look. That's because the new viewer is more efficient since it uses more of your computer's available resources.

Voici le compte-rendu de la Réunion d'hier établi par Prodyck
.
Compte rendu de la réunion du jeudi 5 décembre

Merci à Eden d'accueillir régulièrement cette réunion sur sa grille. De nombreuses personnes n'ont pu être informées ou venir en raison de la maintenance d'Osgrid. L'information a été diffusée sur Discord, le groupe des Francophones sur Opensimworld, ainsi que via les contacts de chacun.

Ont été abordés :

La sous-utilisation du groupe francophone d'Osw est un problème particulièrement criant vu les circonstances.

Le problème de l'utilisation du chat écrit et de la voix : les discussions techniques sont plus compréhensibles par écrit. La voix donne des discussions plus vivantes. Mais dans ce type de réunion où le nombre d'avatars est réduit, cela ne pose pas de gros problèmes. Il ne s'agit ni d'un cours magistral, ni d'une conférence, mais d'une discussion à bâtons rompus détendue qui est plus facile d'accès pour certaines personnes.

Il apparaît que cette réunion devrait être plus structurée. Pour une meilleure prise en compte de ce type de réunion, il sera demandé aux uns et aux autres quels sujets ils voudraient aborder.

Ankh est venue nous expliquer de façon détaillée ce qu'est une machine virtuelle, comment la créer et s'en servir. Un sujet qui a retenu l'attention de tous.

Il a aussi été question d'une clé USB bootable, particulièrement pour tester les versions Linux et des problèmes avec le setup pour certaines machines.

Enfin, sur Francopholie, le mémorial continue de se mettre en place.

Je suis parti à ce moment-là.

Planned Maintenance this morning took out 3 nodes of our High Availability Cluster. the cluster moved things around to keep things online. We lost 2 nodes out of our Mariadb 5-node Galera cluster and brought them back automatically total down time I reckon 5-10 minutes for what for some grids would have ben a catastrophic failure. https://www.wolf-grid.com
