Wenn Riegel fallen von den Herzen,
wenn wir auch seh’n des Nachbarn Schmerzen,
wenn Worte kleiner als die Tat,
wenn Seele ohne Stacheldraht,
wenn Liebe einen Namen kennt,
dann, liebe Freunde, ist Advent!

Yippi, heute ist es soweit. Wir haben den ersten Dezember und nun beginnt die schönste Zeit des Jahres – die Adventszeit! Passend dazu öffnen wir heute das erste Türchen vom Adventskalender. Seid ihr bereit? 24 Türchen wird es nun jeden Tag auf Tosca zu öffnen geben.

A new year means new hope, new light, new thoughts, and new paths to your goals.

I wish you a wonderful start to the year!

If the old year was successful, then look forward to the new one.

And if it was bad, then all the more reason to look forward to it.

I wish you all the best. Love, Karin

Now at 221 PBR materials. Today's dump includes building facades for day and night use with the emissions layer. You can change the light colors base upon the tint color and the intensity with the glow adjustment. So much more to bring in, but running out of room at the shop! What is your favorite PBR material so far? Mine are the melted wax and the dunes in today's drop.

Our dear Luna Lunaria has passed. Rather than only mourn her, which we all do in our own ways, let us band together and show Luna's real life family...just how much she meant to us.

To some, perhaps Luna was a character from one of her rl human creator's stories. To most of us, she was much, much more. It is with a heavy heart that I have shouldered the responsibility as one of her many friends, to setup a GoFundMe for an idea i had: to name an actual star (or multiple stars different names from her stories or rl family), depending on how well this goes. If you like this idea, please find it in your heart to contribute to a worthy cause! https://gofund.me/60f7d925d

Not one thin penny will go to anything not Luna related, with the main goal being at least an "ultimate" star package from the international star registry. All pertinent information is listed in the interest of transparency. If we exceed the $200 goal, additional items or a bigger package may be purchased. I will be working with Lone Wolf on this, and any real life items to be mailed, will be sent discreetly and privately to Luna's real life family, pending their approval. For now, let's just get this ball rolling and see how much this OpenSim community loves and embraces her. She inspired us and gave us so much. Let us give back. Seriously, if you can spare only a buck, 1 dollar of your native currency, 25 cents, whatever it may be, it all comes from the heart. You are not required for your real name or any info to be publicly disclosed if you donate, so keep that in mind, friends. Any questions please contact Leonitas Lionheart or Remmy Ravenhurst of Homelandz Grid, Star Ravenhurst of Tenth Dimension Grid, or Lone Wolf of Wolf Territories grid.

Still about the OpenSIM ONLINE Weather System V4 already available for FREE and FULLPERM at WEATHER SECTOR at FLORA SIM - I`ve built a compact Weather Display for my tenants in my SIM NORGE. They all liked it so much so I decided to offer it here as well.
V4 vendor updated with it.,
Enjoy :)

Okay, after being asked several times about REBORN clothes, I finally decided to try one!

Here's my first attempt and the result!

You can find it right outside the store office.

I'm not sure yet whether I'll make more Reborn clothes. We'll see ;-)

Well, I am here to chew bubblegum and irritate the anti-AI troglodytes. And I am all out of bubblegum.

Recently, I saw someone post how people who use AI to make images are no talent morons. Fair enough. I accept that title. Mainly because...I dgaf what you think of me. However, I am always challenging this hot take.

I recently purchased Meshy to try to learn to make mesh. Yesterday, I tackled it in earnest. I had several AI apps create some images - Night Cafe, MidJourney, CoPilot, Designer. Part of a portal series I have worked on.

I asked CoPilot to alpha some of these for me. I only recently discovered it will do that. I have been doing it myself. Honestly, 90% of the time, CoPilot does a better job. I have just had to learn to talk to it.

I took one of these images and pulled it into Meshy. It is an AI image going into an AI mesh app. Meshy created a model of my portal. I pulled it down as a Blender compatible file and imported into Blender. I exported as collada.

It was a learning process. In the end, I took my original image, brightened and sharpened it, before creating the model. After I put it into blender, I got the texture map and brightened and sharpened that one, then put on that texture after upload. Attached is the portal/elemental gate I ended up with.

I used an AI image and uploaded into an AI app to do most of the editing. I changed the shading, vibrance, and sharpness in Corel. I used Blender to import /export.

I guess I am a no talent moron, not an artist. ;)

My point is: The anti-AI stance is gatekeeping of the highest form. It's absurd. Photography wasn't considered art until it was. Digital art was the same.

I really don't care if you ever consider what I do as art. Feel free not to look. And the gatekeeper is what keeps people from being creators more than anything else.

Many many thanks to Jimmy Olsen and Lavia Lavine for your coaching, patience, and teaching. Many thanks to Contessa LaCombe for her coaching and knowledge regarding texturing mesh. Many thanks to Lone Wolf for making that video that took away much of the fear of trying for me. It takes a community. Many thanks to everyone who encourages me to keep trying, failing, and trying again.

☻ Mirror and mise en abyme ☻

There is no virtual and real for me, my avatar is me, I am my avatar, everything is my reality...

The way I work is a back and forth between the virtual and the real;
Most of the time, everything starts with a 3D model that is often used in my virtual installations, then this model is printed in 3D and becomes a physical sculpture. Finally, I sometimes scan these sculptures while keeping the alterations they contain and reintroduce them into the virtual space.

These different works have superimposed layers, by playing with the different techniques, they transform, reveal glitches, this mutation is the reflection of the random and multiple visions that I like to explore.

In the AnatoBotanica region, I created a space where you can see my real sculptures in the form of scans, and also a gallery with works in augmented reality.

Some of my actual sculptures, as well as augmented reality digital prints are available for sale, to view my work please visit: https://artmvn.art/

♥Thank you Pangea Grid team for letting me build on Anatobotanica ♥

Greetings OSW,

Exotic Realities (a new adult RP grid, not officially opened yet, coming early in 2025) is pleased to announce that we are releasing a modified and upgraded version of the reborn and waifu bodies, complete with lots of bug fixes, a dedicated Waifu version with complete functionality, and both default and custom material capabilities. We have given some of our friends the ability to distribute this for us at their stores. You can find it at the two locations below!

Loc 1 > hop://playground.darkheartsos.com:8002/Boutiques NW/833/813/35
Loc 2 > hop://playground.darkheartsos.com:8002/Boutiques NE/385/105/25

By popular demand, I'm now adding some add-ons for the Reborn 3.0 body I posted a few days ago, they include the Juice Rolls, Soft Arms, and Soft Thighs all scripted to auto-hide and receive materials changes from the body! Since my grid is still being developed, even though my store region is up, my new friends at Sciatti Shops, has offered to put them out for everyone to grab, I thank them very much! You can get them here > https://imgur.com/e5ByT58 > hop://sciattisigrid.it:8002/SciattiShopClothes/14/176/23

After being asked several times about my Sphynx Animesh cats with cat tree, I have now decided to release them. They can be found in the Yin Yang Town Backup Store region which you can reach via the teleport board on YYT Main. I wish you a lot Fun with the little naked kittens ;-)

Sadly... It seems there's a loss of interest among the general population for all things metaverse... People are moving on to other games, or not playing games at all any more, and taking on additional real life work to offset the crazy inflation happening around the world... I've noticed huge down turns in the numbers of people getting into virtual worlds lately. Can't say I blame 'em... All the name calling, in fighting, back biting, hate spewing, trolling, and worse going around.
But it is what it is... What is it? You ask... Well, it's such a huge reduction in numbers that only a small percentage of "hard-core" virtual lifers remain... It's sad... It's unfortunate... We have seen many grids recently shutting their doors and I fear we will see many more admins clicking the red power off button in the future. Anyway to all those leaving, I bid you safe travels, and a happy life. Remember us few lone die-hard souls forever permafrosted into the fabric of the metaverse...

Hello, we are three cute little girls and looking for a new home. You can find it in the Yin Yang Town Store.
- Add us to your body,
- we Walk and run around with you or just stand with you.
So come and take us with you to you,
we are also very nice and won't cause you any trouble,
We promise ♥ ;-)
