Happy Birthday, Ferd Frederix! 🎉

Today we celebrate not just another trip around the sun, but the man who’s kept whole worlds spinning.

Ferd, thank you for the countless hours you’ve poured into OpenSim — the fine-tuning, the bug hunting, the late-night fixes, the jaw-dropping characters and assets you’ve created, and the tools you’ve built that make our grids feel like home.
You’ve kept servers alive when they should have flatlined, solved problems the rest of us couldn’t even pronounce, and inspired new creators with your generosity and skill.

The OpenSim community runs smoother, plays harder, and dreams bigger because of you.

Here’s to your brilliance, your humor, your creativity… and to many more years of building worlds with your signature magic.

Happy Birthday, Ferd — we adore you!💕😘

Get ready to strip down and turn up.
Live DEEJAY' s will take you on a two-hour ride of high-energy beats.

Bikinis, bare skin, and beats that don’t quit.

This is the night to break loose, own your freedom, and dance like nothing’s off-limits.
Be there, or hear about it later.

A little rant. When SL implemented PBR textures, they included a script command called llSetRenderMaterial, which allows you to change the PBR material texture of a surface. Multiple scripts are now available there that do just that. This is similar to llSetTexture we've used forever to change the older blinn-phong textures.

When Opensim implemented their version of PBR, they decided that we didn't need osSetRenderMaterial activated for scripts, because really, who would actually use that stuff? If there's another more plausible reason I would love to hear it.

Ran into this trying to update a simple light sconce which allows you to touch the object to add light, fullbright, and glow to a surface to mimic a light that's turned on. For PBR, while turning on light is still the same, brightness and glow are managed by the emissive texture layer of a PBR Material. So to mimic a glowing light, you would need to be able to - you guessed it - CHANGE the material. But of course that's currently impossible in Opensim until someone incorporates that script function into code.

In the pics, you can see the PBR sconce on the left, and one with older textures on the right. In the top pic the light is off on both and in the bottom pic the light is on. The PBR glass looks great, and the light works, but you have no glow to show it's on. So for now, until osSetRenderMaterial is activated, I will have to set the glass material to always glowing. Or more likely, I will add a bulb inside with no PBR that will glow when touched.

I’m doing an impromptu stream at Sol Et Luna in Xinashi. The focus is the people who influenced and were influenced by Annie Lennox. Stop by if you’d like. hop://grid.wolfterritories.org:8002/Xinashi/134/156/27

They’re cute, they’re weird, they’re slightly ominous — the perfect pets for the end of the world.

Come take a walk, meet the new species, pick your favorite, and pretend you’ll be a responsible guardian.
Adoption optional. Awe guaranteed.

Whether you’re looking for a loyal companion, a questionable life-choice, or just something that stares at you with a glossy robot-frog face, there’s a bot waiting for you.
Adopt responsibly. Or don’t. It’s the apocalypse anyway.
