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.

Drei Schnitte, drei Funktionen – BK bleibt bei der Sache.

Links beginnt’s mit Struktur: ein Look, der nicht schreit, sondern sitzt. Die Farben? Frisch, aber nicht verspielt. Die Silhouette? Direkt, mit einem Hauch Bewegung.

In der Mitte wird’s glatt und glänzend – nicht als Einladung, sondern als Ansage. Der Schnitt folgt dem Körper, nicht dem Kalender. Wer hier reinpasst, braucht keine Accessoires.

Rechts dann Fläche und Rhythmus: ein Outfit, das Raum nimmt, ohne laut zu werden. Die Linien sind klar, die Botschaft auch – das ist kein Rückblick, das ist Präsenz.

BK denkt nicht in Kollektionen, sondern in Momenten. Und der Xara-Body? Der liefert die Bühne.

Welcome to the Velvet Compass Cruise Ship Set sail on the shimmering Oxidane River and indulge in a world of romance and refinement.

💫 Features include:
Romantic dining under starlit chandeliers
An elegant ballroom for timeless dances

A vibrant casino pulsing with excitement
A serene pool for relaxation

A grand theater showcasing unforgettable performances
and more delights to come.

🍂 Autumnfest Opening Ritual with DJ Yana 🍷
As the leaves turn and the grid awakens, DJ Yana calls the flame. Let the rhythm rise, let the spirits dance. Autumn begins here.

Join us for a morning of sonic fire and mythic rhythm as DJ Yana Dakota opens Autumnfest with a set that blends glam rock, mysticism, and pure grid-shaking energy.
Expect thunder, seduction, and spectral surprises.
Featuring epic anthems like:

- Sympathy for the Devil — The Rolling Stones
- Thriller — Michael Jackson
- Xanadu — Olivia Newton-John
- Welcome to the Pleasure Dome — Frankie Goes to Hollywood
- Into the Mystic — Van Morrison

🕯️ Dancefloor vibes.
🔥 Ritual rhythm.
🎶 One unforgettable wake-up.

Metallica: Die Legende des Heavy Metal

Metallica steht als eine der einflussreichsten Bands in der Geschichte des Heavy Metal.
Seit ihrer Gründung in den frühen Achtzigerjahren hat die Gruppe den Thrash-Metal nicht nur geprägt,
sondern auch Generationen von Musikliebhabern inspiriert.
Ihre Kompositionen mischen brutale Energie mit anspruchsvollen Strukturen und greifen Themen
wie gesellschaftliche Ungerechtigkeiten, innere Konflikte und die Schattenseiten der Existenz auf. ....

In our spacious, modern cinema, you can watch movies synchronously in excellent quality. Access to the mezzanine is via the left or right staircase in the foyer. The stalls are designed for concerts and live performances. Everyone is welcome.

„Zieh dich warm an – Xara zieht dich ab.“

1️⃣ „Velvet Feral“ Pelzbesatz an Schultern und Rock, tiefschwarze Mini-Silhouette, High Heels mit Haltung. Xara trägt das wie eine Drohung mit Stil. Kein Small Talk, kein Kompromiss – nur Präsenz. Wer sie sieht, weiß: Das ist kein Outfit. Das ist ein Befehl.

2️⃣ „Cyber Dominance“ Lederweste, nackter Oberkörper, Shorts und Overknees – Xara ist nicht Teil der Szene, sie definiert sie. Der Look ist roh, direkt und unübersehbar. Keine Accessoires, keine Ablenkung. Nur Fokus. Wer zögert, verliert.

3️⃣ „Milk & Midnight“ Tanktop mit Print, dazu eine tief sitzende Hose mit lässigem Schritt und High Heels, die das Ganze wieder auf Spannung bringen. Xara spielt mit Silhouetten wie andere mit Ironie – süß, scharf, unkopierbar. Wer versucht, das zu imitieren, landet im Schatten.
