Many of you know I have a lot of statues in my store, but I didn't set out originally to offer them. A few years ago I wanted one for a build I was doing at the time and found one on the Kitely Market. Wanting to add materials, I replaced the base texture with a marble and realized that all that was left was an amorphous blob that barely resembled the original statue. So I decided to see if there was a better way. The resulting workflow is pictured. I start out with real world scans of famous statues (such as Hebe pictured) that are readily available, and load it into Blender. Since it had 2 million faces, I needed to reduce the complexity to 80,000 faces or less to be able to upload it inworld but still have detail for those who are unable to use higher graphics. You can see the two models side-by-side in Blender. At that point I bake the normals to replace a lot of the details that were lost without increasing the complexity, then upload the less complex model and the new normalmap into opensim. The final photo is the result.

You can see all my statues on my store regions:

Main Store: grid.wolfterritories.org:8002:Lunaria Emporium - Main Store

Kitely Store: grid.kitely.com:8002:Lunaria Emporium

And many of my items are available on the Kitely Market here: https://www.kitely.com/market?store=13957705

St. Patrick's day will soon be here! I created this prim skirt for those who wish to wear prims. This is two skirts each with 24 panels. I wore it and did not lag but I would not suggest wearing it if you have lots of other attachments too as it will cause your LOD to go up. You can find this in the Monentes Jewelry store in the new Classic Closet section. Please feel free to texture it and use it any way you wish. Free to give, you may also create outfits using this. If you want your name on as the creator there is a little center ball you can edit. That is fine. Many thanks to Copyright (c) 2007 Dalien Talbot, and a few other folks thanks to whom this skirt rezzer script exists: Loop Rez by Ged Larson 2006 I put out a box with the skirt rezzer, scripts and info manual. You can create your own prims for the skirt panels, mine is a cylinder that has been hollowed with a nice path cut. Experiment with your own panels.

I'd Like a Shooting Gallery Game for Rocket Club Events.
It would be so much fun to have a circus side-show style arcade shooting gallery at Rocket Club events. The targets would be evil aliens, UFOs, and such.

(A dance event - with guns. What could go wrong?)

The game should be casual, simple, and, if possible, funny as heck. And hopefully, easy to make. If it (or something like it) exists, let me know. If it needs to be made, I need, at minimum, someone to script the game. If you can offer other help, like art design, sound effects, and making or finding laser-guns, let me know. Make a comment and/or shoot me a message. I'm open to ideas and suggestions.

******** Do not miss it ********

!!!!! IT WILL BE A GREAT PLEASURE TO HAVE YOUR PRESENCE!!!!

So some of you may have noticed this listing says the pine, it is not called the pine. It is called Virtual Beach, the day osw went offline it somehow changed the name to the pine. I keep changing it back but it seems to revert bk. any ideas would be helpful.

I created this CatWalk venue and offered this at the end of summer. I thought it would be nice to offer it again to anyone who has a need for a CatWalk it is free to copy. I found many of the parts at Sketchfab, and built it the best I could. Please feel free to mod it and use it any way you like. It is a complete venue with tables too. It is at the Monentes Store in the foyer.

Hello folks.. I have a situation that's been brought to my attention. I loaded a 2 year old OAR of an old region I had, where I had a newbies shop for new musicians coming to open sim.. the idea was to collect free starter stuff and have it in one place, because open sim is quite confusing to people who have never been here before..

So.. when I reopened virtual melody, I loaded the old oar.. and one some of the items.. it changed the name of the creator on some of the items to MY name! I did not create these items.. I do not own these items.. I even have poster boards up explaining that the items in the shop were all collected for free on the hypergrid and that I don't own them.. This has never happened to me before and I'm seriously upset that it's happened now. Has anyone else had any issues with loading old oars like this? I have to go through all of the items now to make sure my name is not set as owner! To the people, who do create these items, I'm truly very sorry that this has happened. I will fix it!

This Fantasy Manor is beautifully done and very detailed. It's based on the four seasons and includes a large courtyard ripe for decorating to your likes. The inside has a beautifully designed and detailed fireplace and large kitchen area and plenty of room on the next 3 floors up for whatever your heart desires including a room already textured for a bathroom. This Fantasy Castle Manor would be a great addition to any medieval or fantasy sim. An Open Sim original build by one of many talented builders on the genesis roleplay grid. While the mall is still very much under construction we're open to anybody who would like to visit and look around. Blessings and much love - Lavia.
