A Virtual Beach Update

Hey everyone, so far everything is going smooth and looks good.

I will be going on a last minute camping music festival trip, I will be gone Wednesday evening to Sunday evening.

If there are any grid issues please send me a message or email but please keep in mind my internet will be limited. I will have best luck in the morning for internet.

Once I get back I will start planning the grand opening for the new welcome region

One night, I dreamt I stood at the river's edge in a canyon gorge. Terraced along the cliffs were abundant cherry trees, their branches cascading down towards the water. This place is the embodiment of that dream. We observe Hanami here. @FredBeckhusen/Ferd Frederix has added his magic touch throughout this region, thank you Ferd! three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Zensational

The Death of Slim Shady - Coup De Grace (2024)

So, I had preordered the new Eminem album + 1 bonus track, album dropped just today, friday, july 12th. I will be streaming and digesting this new album at my grid, for those who wish to join!

If you don't know or enjoy Eminem or rap music please leave your negativity for yourself; this is for fun and for light hearted playful people who wish to have a good time, and enjoy perhaps the greatest wordsmith rap has ever seen.

Welcome to Detroit City! Sorry we missed you. ;)

In case you didn't know: Firestorm 7.1.9 has been released yesterday. It's the first release that supports PBR (Physically-Based Rendering).

https://www.firestormviewer.org/firestorm-gets-physical-fo...

On the one hand, this means that the Advanced Lighting Model is now permanently on. You can't turn it off again.

On the other hand, Firestorm supports multi-threading now. Firestorm 6 and earlier only ever used one CPU thread. Firestorm 7 can use all of them.

So all fearmongering that you'll need a high-end gaming rig for Firestorm 7 is just that, fearmongering. Unless you've got an absolute toaster that was already built as an absolute toaster, and that has never been powerful enough for virtual worlds, unless you have to turn everything off from transparent water to shaders to light sources, chances are Firestorm 7 will actually be faster than Firestorm 6.

To give you an example: I have a Ryzen 5 3600X, 16GB RAM and a Radeon RX590 graphics card with 8GB VRAM. This is nowhere near high-end.

What Firestorm 6 renders with 20-30fps with ambient occlusion and shadows off, Firestorm 7 may render with 50+fps with ambient occlusion and shadows on.

Thornhollow is Neverworlds newest roleplay region. You can start your own clan or coven, be a witch or a vampire or 'other', you are welcome to bring your existing group here to stay or visit. We invite you to come over and take a walk through and we promise not to bite any visitors. :)
