There are people in every community who give everything and ask for nothing in return. In the OpenSimulator metaverse, Fred Beckhusen — known to thousands by his avatar name Ferd Frederix — is that person. An engineer, programmer, 3D artist, world-builder, and open source advocate, Fred has spent nearly two decades quietly making OpenSim easier, richer, and more welcoming for everyone who enters it. His tools run on grids around the world. His scripts are embedded in regions he will never visit. His generosity has shaped the virtual lives of people he has never met.

WIth my newewst version of my NONVIEWER uploader called OARConv which is available at https://maze.bz/OARConv.html I uploaded about 100 or so meshes, mroe will be added daily. I recently with the help of Kris Konigsman of HyperCats urgings and pleadings for the meshes to "look right" and not "dark" resolved an issue with flipped normals and LODs. Over the last day or so I REUPLOADED all of the museum again with the fixed uploader. I am most pleased with the result! If you had visited previously, I would reccomend coming again and grabbint the updated mesh, You will notice they do not fizzle when you zoom out now which was the LOD issue. Picture is one of 100 there. Always free never sell. And these will only ever be found in OPENSIM period. They were uploaded with an oar, so no sl for them anyway! ENJOY!

NewLifeItaly: a new generation of OpenSim grid

NewLifeItaly continues to grow and evolve into something much bigger than a simple OpenSim grid.

Today, NewLifeItaly is a complete digital ecosystem made of a web portal, user profiles, community tools, events, videochat, land management, administrative tools, notifications, social content, and services directly connected to the virtual world.

The goal is clear: to give users a simpler, more modern and engaging experience, while also giving the staff stronger, more organized and professional tools to manage the entire infrastructure.

The portal allows users to manage their personal profile, update their profile picture and cover image, publish posts, comment, react, share updates and take part in the community even outside the viewer. The internal feed brings NewLifeItaly closer to a modern social platform, but built around the virtual world and the life of the grid.

One of the most important parts of the project is land management.

Users who own or rent a land no longer have only a space inside the grid, but also a dedicated area inside the portal. From there, they can view information about their land, manage details connected to their space, connect events to their area and promote the activities they organize.

This means that a land is no longer just a place accessible from the viewer. It becomes a space that can also be managed from the web. The land owner or manager can have a clearer view of their environment, promote events, keep information updated and use the portal as a central point of reference for their activity inside NewLifeItaly.

On the administrative side, the portal provides the Owner and staff with an advanced panel for managing the grid. This is not just about editing text or approving content: the admin panel is designed to control real operational parts of the infrastructure.

The Owner can manage users, roles, lands, simulators, events, assignments, videochat, messages sent to the grid and maintenance tools. The administrative land management area gives a clearer overview of the configured simulators, regions and operational status of the services connected to the grid.

An important technical part is the management of server processes connected to OpenSim. The system is designed to work with tmux sessions, allowing the grid services to be managed in a more organized way, even after server reboots or maintenance operations.

In practical terms, the admin panel can help the Owner manage operations such as:

preparing tmux sessions;
starting the Robust service;
starting OpenSim simulators;
checking configured lands;
restarting specific regions;
managing operations after a server reboot in a cleaner and safer way.

The system does not start everything at once in a chaotic way. To avoid sudden CPU and memory overload, lands can be started sequentially, one region at a time, with controlled pauses between each startup. This is essential in an OpenSim grid, because starting many simulators at the same time can overload the server and cause instability.

Robust can also be managed in a more controlled way: the panel allows the correct service path to be configured and started before the simulators, following the proper OpenSim infrastructure order. First the core grid services are started, then the regions are brought online.

This makes administration much safer than a fully manual workflow. The Owner no longer has to remember commands, paths and sessions every time. The portal becomes an organized control center, reducing errors and saving time during maintenance.

The event system is another central part of the platform. Events can be created, imported, approved, assigned to specific lands and connected to the videochat. They can also be displayed in-world through dedicated boards, creating a direct bridge between the web portal and the virtual world.

The NewLifeItaly videochat is connected to the portal through automatic login. Logged-in users can enter without needing a second login, while keeping their nickname, role and profile image synchronized. This creates continuity between the portal, the community and the chat, making the experience smoother and more integrated.

A messaging system from the portal to the grid has also been implemented, allowing users to send messages to avatars through a dedicated relay. This means the portal is not separate from the virtual world: it becomes a real operational bridge connected to OpenSim.

The project also includes real-time notifications, post sharing, optimized image management, light and dark theme, more complete profiles, social tools, event support, videochat integration and features designed to improve both the user experience and the work of the staff.

From a technical point of view, NewLifeItaly has been built with a modular and scalable structure. The portal communicates with the grid, the videochat, the event system, land management, profiles, the social feed, notifications and administrative tools. This makes it possible to keep adding new features over time without rebuilding everything from scratch.

An important role in this evolution is played by the partnership with Hexivia, which supports NewLifeItaly in technical development, service integration, portal design and the growth of its digital infrastructure. This collaboration was created to bring increasingly modern, stable and professional tools to the grid.

NewLifeItaly is becoming a complete platform: a virtual community with social tools, land management for users, advanced control for the Owner, events, videochat, web services, grid integrations and an administrative panel designed to make everything more efficient.

It is not just a grid.
It is an ecosystem in constant evolution.

NewLifeItaly — a world to live, explore and share.
In partnership with Hexivia.

💎 Reborn + Waifu – Schönheit mit Rückgrat

Das hier ist kein Look, das ist ein Statement mit Nachhall.
Spitze, Leder, Transparenz – jedes Detail flüstert: „Ich weiß, was ich tue.“

Reborn spielt mit der Eleganz, Waifu mit der Versuchung – und beide tanzen auf der Grenze zwischen Kunst und Attitüde.

Hier wird nicht gefragt, ob man darf. Hier wird entschieden, dass man kann.
Ein Outfit, das keine Bühne braucht, weil es selbst eine ist.
Es ist der Moment, in dem Stil und Selbstbewusstsein sich verschwören – und das Ergebnis trägt High Heels.

Reborn + Waifu: Für alle, die nicht glänzen wollen, sondern leuchten.

☀️ Reborn‑Mode – Badesaison unlocked

Diese Outfits tun so, als wäre es zufällig heiß – und wissen ganz genau, was sie tun.

Ein Schritt Richtung Wasser, und plötzlich schauen alle, als hätte der Sommer gerade ein Upgrade bekommen.

Kein Drama, kein Getue. Nur ein Look, der sagt: „Ich bin bereit. Das Meer soll klarkommen.“

TODAY'S THE DAY! Getting Messy with Meshy!
Tuesday, June 9
10 AM SLT
VWEC Wolf Territories location: grid.wolfterritories.org:8002:VWEC

Step into a creator’s playground where your images become objects, your objects become art, and your art becomes something you can actually upload without your viewer crying.

In this session you’ll learn:
- How to choose or create the right image for Meshy
- How to clean and optimize that image for best results
- How to use Meshy’s model library as your personal kitbash buffet
- How to remesh - tips and tricks
- How to export and prep for OpenSim/SL

Whether you’re a builder, a dreamer, or someone who just wants to stop fighting with triangles, you’ll walk away empowered.

PREWORK: Set up an account at https://www.meshy.ai/ . It is recommended to pay for one month of the Pro account so that you have 1000 credits to play with and access to the Meshy Community creations. One month of Meshy Pro is $20.

Ensemble is now complete at release candidate 1.

The LSL and PHP scripts are all available in the script library at https://opensimworld.com/library?view=167 and the full manual is available at https://www.glenysbieler.com/ensemble/ in word, pdf, and web view.

The HUD itself can be made using the LSL scripts - but a copy is also available pre-built in my store at Sub-Version Mall (https://opensimworld.com/hop/93827). I havent yet put a teleport up at the landing point for the Ensemble store (and it is "in progress") but the hud is available to obtain there.

Please feel free to use the provided hosting - or use the PHP scripts in the scripts library to host yourself.

Feel free to report any bugs - but no "support" is guaranteed (but ofc I will always try and help).

she gives us all her tunes of that day

I'm currently developing a new OpenSim "Front End" - as I've not had much success with others. When its "done" it will be freely available for others to use if they like.

It will feature:
* account creation (automatic or admin approved)
* avatar selection on account creation
* change your grid password
* profile page showing profile pic and about - and also picks (both currently working)
* offline messages (currently working)
* friends list - also showing online status (with a caveat that presense is bad in opensim)
* partnering (send a partner request to another grid member who can accept in the web interfface, and also disilve.
* admin interface where admins can approve new members or suspend existing users
* restart regions if you are estate owner, manager, or grid admin with a high user level
* shutdown or start regions as above permissions
* take oars of regions as above permissions
* restore oars of regions as above permissions

And any other items I add. Currently the system allows you to log in with your grid account and see your profile and offlines. Other things will be added over the next days.

The system is php based - and will have a few php module requirements. Direct database access is used for GETTING some data (currently it only supports MariaDB - and "probably" MySQL) - but no writes will ever be made directly to the database - any WRITES will be by api calls through Robust / Simulator calls.

OARConv 3.8.9 is now out. I took a hard look at the LOD processing, I had noticed that things seemed to fizzle out when I zoomed out. I was successful in making the LOD processes more like the viewer, so you can now have high LOD if you want by setting it that way. It is good enough that I am redoing all teh meshes in the museum with it...at once :-) https://maze.bz/OARConv.html picture reflect the change..enjoy yourself!

She created avatars, clothing, buildings, animations, textures and entire regions.
She gave every last one of them away. No strings. No license fees. No DMCA.
Universities used her work. Hospitals used her work. You used her work.
Anthropic's Claude AI searched the entire public record.

In twenty years, nobody threw her a party.
This demands long overdue gratitude.

We shall honor her with an ENTIRE SEASON since nobody else cares to.

I created a surf shop today at Catena di Isole. I moved the sand writings to here and also the surf pose. I will be adding beach stuff here as I can. The Waves of Courage was the first surf comp in Opensim, so thought that would be a perfect name for my shop. I have been making progress on the surfboard with many edits and fine tuning, I am happy to have gotten this far, I really appeciate the coders now. Swing by say hi anytime!
