What is PBR?
PBR (Physically Based Rendering) is a rendering approach that uses physics-based calculations for more realistic lighting, while Blinn-Phong is a non-physically based, older shading model that approximates specular highlights. PBR uses techniques like energy conservation and microfacet models to create more accurate materials that react realistically to light, whereas Blinn-Phong often produces a plastic-like, less realistic appearance. PBR is generally more computationally efficient and produces more consistent results because it focuses on the material's properties rather than the final rendered output.
PBR (Physically Based Rendering)
- Based on physics: PBR is a collection of techniques that aim to mimic how light interacts with surfaces in the real world.
- Realistic output: It produces more realistic results because it uses inputs like the material's microfacet properties and energy conservation to calculate how light reflects.
- Consistent results: The final appearance is more predictable and consistent because it is not based on a specific "look" but on physical principles.
- Efficient: PBR is often more efficient, as it relies on a smarter implementation where a single material object contains all the necessary textures and a single drag-and-drop can apply them.
- Example textures: Uses textures like metallic, roughness, and normal maps to define the material's physical properties.
Blinn-Phong
- Approximation: It is a non-physically based shading model that approximates the appearance of light reflection.
- Less realistic output: It can produce a "plastic" or less realistic look because it doesn't account for real-world light behavior.
- Fixed pipeline: It was developed for older fixed-function graphics pipelines and works by calculating a specular highlight based on the angle between the view direction and a halfway vector, rather than the more complex rendering equation.
- Texture maps: It typically uses diffuse, specular, and other texture maps to define its appearance.
So what does that all mean? It means PBR is more efficient and better at handling how light reacts with a material, producing a more realistic rendering. So PBRs are considered materials and not simply textures, because all the bumps, surface roughness and textures are included on one packaged resource.
In the upper image, I put a light source between two cubes.
LEFT: PBR
RIGHT: Blinn_phong
You can see how the light reflects correctly on the left and the right looks more plasticy
In the bottom picture is:
LEFT: PBR Drag and drop
MIDDLE: Blinn-Phong Adjusted, meaning I turned down the default shininess
RIGHT: Default Blinn-Phong No adjustments made

Puttering with cars again because it pushes my PBR skills in new directions. Today I finally had a breakthrough with PBR glass that looks much closer to the real thing. That's transparent glass in the photos with real reflections achieved by modifying a silver PBR texture I had.
SL, and by extension Opensim, did not implement the full PBR spectrum of textures, leaving out about 5 or 6 types. One of those not included was Transmission, which communicates to the graphics engine the details of the glass surfaces. So I basically have been wracking my brain on and off trying to come as close as I can to the real thing. Today was a good day.

🌕 A Miracle Over Samsara 🌕
by Yana Dakota
Last night, the sky cracked open.
A moon, no ordinary moon, rose over Samsara. Vast, radiant, and impossible. It hovered like a celestial omen, casting its glow across the temples, the dunes, the silent waters. Some say it’s a glitch. Others call it a gift. I call it a sign.
The Windlight has shifted. The air hums differently. The rituals feel deeper. The silence between songs now echoes with something ancient.
If you haven’t seen it yet, come.
Stand beneath it.
Let it watch you back.

Have pimp my Second Lifer Avatar a little bit :D
| | Rulus_Kaliopov: Sorry yes has nothing to do with OpenSim but was so satisfied with the result 4 months ago |
Update on Garden Towers Mall: Lone Wolf has moved my region to a different server, giving us an improved experience. All the hair and women's clothes have been tested by my alt from another grid. The assets should all be okay. I'm also in the process of adding some new items.
Hidden beyond the reach of maps and memory, veiled by time and shadow, lies Pendle Hollow , a long forgotten realm where the land itself hums with ancient magic.secrets. Stir along the cobble streets where few have dared to seek, but those who do will find a place where beauty and darkness exist together. We welcome you to get lost in the accent maze with towering stone wall that sits at the front the gates of Pendle Castle. You will also find a forest with a winding path that weaves through the shadowy woods, cloaked in mist and moonlight , branches whispering secrets in the wind leading the way deeper into the unknown and suddenly it opens into a radiant, moonlit clearing. Here, in a perfect circle of wildflowers and glowing mushrooms, a witch coven!

Xara bei BK-Mode – Stil in Serie, Charakter in jedem Pixel
Xara ist keine Modepuppe. Sie ist ein wandelbares Statement, das sich nicht in Kategorien pressen lässt. Ihre neue Kollektion bei BK-Mode ist ein visuelles Manifest: neun Looks, die nicht nebeneinander existieren, sondern miteinander sprechen – über Stil, Selbstbewusstsein und digitale Präsenz.
Die Outfits sind wie Kapitel eines Mode-Romans, geschrieben in Stoff, Farbe und Haltung. Sie erzählen von Stärke und Verspieltheit, von Eleganz und Rebellion, von Momenten, in denen ein Avatar mehr ist als nur ein Bild – sondern eine Stimmung, ein Ausdruck, ein Erlebnis.
Was Xara trägt, ist nicht nur schön. Es ist präzise kuratiert, mit einem Auge für Kontraste und einem Gespür für Wirkung. Die Kollektion spielt mit Silhouetten, Texturen und Attitüde – und schafft dabei etwas, das selten gelingt: Mode, die nicht nur sitzt, sondern dich sichtbar macht – wenn du bereit bist, mehr zu sein als bloße Kulisse.
BK-Mode liefert hier keine Einzelteile. Es liefert ein Gefühl. Und Xara trägt es mit jeder Pose.
Xara ist keine Modepuppe. Sie ist ein wandelbares Statement, das sich nicht in Kategorien pressen lässt. Ihre neue Kollektion bei BK-Mode ist ein visuelles Manifest: neun Looks, die nicht nebeneinander existieren, sondern miteinander sprechen – über Stil, Selbstbewusstsein und digitale Präsenz.
Die Outfits sind wie Kapitel eines Mode-Romans, geschrieben in Stoff, Farbe und Haltung. Sie erzählen von Stärke und Verspieltheit, von Eleganz und Rebellion, von Momenten, in denen ein Avatar mehr ist als nur ein Bild – sondern eine Stimmung, ein Ausdruck, ein Erlebnis.
Was Xara trägt, ist nicht nur schön. Es ist präzise kuratiert, mit einem Auge für Kontraste und einem Gespür für Wirkung. Die Kollektion spielt mit Silhouetten, Texturen und Attitüde – und schafft dabei etwas, das selten gelingt: Mode, die nicht nur sitzt, sondern dich sichtbar macht – wenn du bereit bist, mehr zu sein als bloße Kulisse.
BK-Mode liefert hier keine Einzelteile. Es liefert ein Gefühl. Und Xara trägt es mit jeder Pose.
Für die Männer gibt’s auch mal wieder was Neues 😉

Well I am a little more clear on what's going on and what to do. We're going to look into having Una ( Masala Estates) possibly host E Grid next year, early. I want to do it, believe me.
And for right now, I made a mistake saying E Grid was flat out closed -- its still UP. But all those lagging regions are down, they are still existing, but down. We currently have Paradise up, and all the rental lands. They will, barring weather crap or that sort of thing, stay up!
Thank you to those of you who messaged me and gave reassurances and support!
We love you and hope to return the E to its former State xxx
*** PS if you have a rental with us, please please be sure to renew that rental box :) That tells us who is still there and who isn't !

Basic Land Hygiene And Griefer Protection
1. Please add to or offer corrections to this list.
2. Consider giving this list, or one like it, to anyone renting land from you.
3. Send this link to people you think might want to read these tips:
https://opensimworld.com/post/123825?msgSuccess=Posted
Pay attention because there will be a quiz.
1. Set Edit Terrain (Everyone) to Off
2. Set Object Creation to group only. (A private land management group for example)
3. Set Object Entry to Off
4. Set Scripts to Off
5. Set Safe mode (no damage)
6. Set No Push (this does not completely disable pushes, but it makes them less powerful)
7. Set your movelock to make yourself harder to push around. In Firestorm, this is CTRL+ALT+P.
8. The protection from any pushing is to "sit".
9. Set access to group only, or to yourself and a designated approved access list. (Kick out and ban griefers from the group)
10. Set No Fly (makes it harder for griefers to get around quickly)
11. Set Teleport routing to a specific spot (keeps griefers from being able to dodge by local teleporting)
12. Set Object Return to the shortest possible time
13. Turn off avatar visibility in About Land > Options (so griefers outside your parcel can't see you)
14. Do not respond to taunts or threats. REMAIN SILENT!
15. Mute (Block) each griefer
16. Turn off visibility of particles (CTRL_SHIFT_ALT_=)
17. Protect yourself from graphics crashers by limiting the avatar complexity your viewer can render, in Preferences > Graphics. Anything lower than "unlimited" will be fine.
18. Set your preferences to not render media or play sounds attached to other avatars.

Lately I have noticed a lot of drama, bashing, shaming and finger pointing. I am not taking sides but I felt this needed to be said.
As a grid owner I feel its important to talk to other grid owners, get to know them, work with them on issues and problems.
When did it get to the point that we dont listen to other grid owners or its members? If a grid owner or a member came to me about an issue with one of my members I would hear both sides of the story.
I dont block an entire grid unless I have a valid reason or they have me blocked and no way to resolve the issue. I prefer to just block the said member if I have very good reason otherwise I talk to the grid owner.
I dont know why some have to be too busy to not care, I suppose its why I like being a small grid. I want the time to talk to my members, see there cool builds, work on the grid and support other grids.
I know that running a grid is a lot of work, I understand that it can make grid owners so busy. But I dont feel its hard to take 5 minutes or less to listen to members or other grid owners.
If we are constantly tearing each other down, accusing other grids or people, then someday there may not be anything left in Opensim.
My door is always open for anyone that needs to talk.
