Central station
From here you get fast to Park Avenue/Central Park and old town red light district. Subway is still fake. Have to dig 4 km before a subway can run from Congress center over Park Avenue Plaza, Central station and Airport (perhaps expo center too) I should have done this first. Now it is more complicated with all the buildings.But ok.

hello everyone. This is my version of area 51. It's not ready, I'm still working on it. and there are still many things to be done. I would really like you to visit my region. as well as visiting other regions. just to see my work and give your opinion about it

It seems like people crave a balance between connection and autonomy.
Belonging to a community offers support, camaraderie, and shared experiences, but having personal space and privacy is important for self-expression and maintaining individuality.

This is my contribution to the OpenSim Film Festival by @lorudestiny1554.
You get a little insight into the idea behind Fort Sand.
A fictional town in the Wild West in the years 1860 - 1880,
in which ideally everyone gets along peacefully.
What would the world be without dreams?! ;)
I'm open to criticism, praise and/or suggestions.
Feel free to use the comments section or contact me inworld in the Moonrose Grid.
Have fun watching.
Yours, Chris!

The Opensim Worlds Fair is coming up for the month of March, and it's huge! In addition to my regular display, I was asked to create a PBR basics tutorial on their Tech area. And this pic was taken on low graphics settings to show that you don't need to have it on ultra for it to look good. I look forward to seeing everyone at the Fair :-)

Hello all
Perhaps it is not known for most people here. I would like to introduce something new that is more known or even common for player in new games.
We all know the problem with mesh hair and that flexi hair is not perfect too. If we would have flexi mesh hair then complexity would increase to mio. Much too much. The hair problem is not solved in many games. Even in VRchat the hair problem is not perfectly solved but right now the best solution. For clothes especially coats etc it is the same problem.
But we can also have other solution for clothes. It is not flexi but we could have animesh clothes. It looks almost realistic. Roland Francis created some animesh clothes and here you can see it in video. You get it on his Neiferleaf sim in shop at landing point. Here in this video you can see. It was not meant for showing of animesh clothes, but doesn't matter. Good job Roland!

The 3.9 earthquake in New Hampshire this morning was my fault. i was manifesting. :D I started working on Hobomock the giant last night. He is a deity in Algonquin legend that causes earthquakes and changes the course of rivers. I must have woken him up. :)

It is already 9 months old, but here on this Website never promoted in this way. You get couple walk for opensim created by Sergio Rodriguez. As single script to walk with your real avi partner (AI Bot) or you can even use it with an NPC Companion. You can even walk stairs with couple walk.
Here my promo video for couple walk with different cam adjustments. It is already scripted for smooth cam you can change easily.

Valerie NatureInSim has built Couple Walk in her NPC Companion since her 3.0 Version and you can even build in a script to use AI to make your companion intelligent. Just put the script in the hud and it works automatically. There are many possibilities to create your own AI NPC with different LLMs. (Not to confuse with a Bot as own Avi Account.) You can have a Companion as NPC you can talk with and also can walk as couple at the same time. It is not working for hypergridding as if you would use an AI Bot with own Avi account, but for playing around on your grid it is enough.
If you want to make movies you have to make a lot of compromises, because for fluent changes you need the hud. If Firestorm would support Quicktime of apple it would be no problem and we could record from Firestorm itself like snapshots. So there is only solution to hide huds. The couple walk hud can be removed completely and it still works. If you use couple walk with your NPC Companion then you have to size it very small to have a big screen without hud.
Thanks to Valerie for building couple walk in her NPC companion. This is opensim for open source teamwork. Sharing is caring.

EUROPA FARM now with its newest vertical farm system - feeding aliens on planets around 10 light years distance!
To go there, go to SIM EUROPA, then at MAGABAGA INTERSIM station, teleport to there or other regions.
Enjoy :)

When you are sitting alone on your sim and you are not in mood for building stuff, it can be boring. Just waiting that someone visits you? Not really. To go on Lbsa, Darkhearts Plaza or AMV Welcome for socializing? Maybe if people are not afk and just parking their avi there. The 3 places are right now the most visited in opensim but no guarantee to have conversations. I like it to talk with Petula at the beach cafe drinking coffee. Right now on Big City Life the UFO over little New Jersey is theme for everyone in the big city. You can even see from the Park Avenue the UFO from far. So no wonder that we talk about it. But Petula seems not really trained for Ufos. lol Our talk here:
[09:42] Cheryl Furse: what do you know about ufos?
[09:42] Petula: Check back later and see if I learn the answer to that one.
[09:42] Cheryl Furse: Are ufos existing?
[09:42] Petula: I really couldn't say for sure.
The talk was over. Just short small talk and the bus arrived. lol

Just added a new Japanese Main Gate to Lunaria Emporium on Wolf Territories Grid. Click the Japanese teleport board in the lobby to get to the display area, or you can take the bridge directly across.

Included with the main gate are one straight wall section, one corner wall section, and a corner wall tower that are modify and copy so that you can create a perimeter wall of any size for your build. All parts have both pbr and standard textures for use with any viewer.

This is part of an ongoing full reconstruction of my Japanese area. Next on the list are revisions of my older tea houses and pavilions, a new temple, a larger more opulent home, and a castle.

Are you using a 4K monitor ? Are you looking to upgrade ?

I publish here some benchmark in the hope it might help those who are looking to up part their performances using Firestorm. I was myself looking to find those information before i upgraded.

This will allow you to see what performance you could get with a similar hardware. I chose Intel, but AMD is also a very good choice, so for comparison it would need to be an AMD with similar performance to get similar result, the same for the video card.

Please note, these benchmark are with Firestorm with everything enabled Ultra Detail and Distance view set to 864. With a 4k Monitor (3840x2160)

Some *might* have noticed that these words have been in every one of the four store builds since I started a year ago. Therefore:
'...let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honour and humility, mirth and reverence within you...'

Wishing everyone a great 2025 !

I actually considered canceling my account completely this week, so I just took some time to reflect. I put a lot of effort into everything we do, and if you believe it's only for myself, you're completely mistaken. We also work on Second Life and the open sim world. I detest being accused of being someone I'm not and called a liar. I have always taken people at face value. If you don't know me, don't criticize me. And I will support those I call who I consider friends or more, just like I did for Adora.
Everybody has their own problems and is constantly coping with something, so when someone has to play a game and is treated disrespectfully, I say enough.
It's unfortunate, in my opinion, that someone as young as five days old can create an account on this site and start so much drama. How come she can? Because she's got the money to do it. Unfortunately, money always plays a part in a lot of what we do.
Lise Please don't talk about anything you don't want to talk about. Which is it, Lester or Lise? Have a wonderful day, stop lying to people about who you are, and get out of Dallas.

Happy Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you!

wHAT YOU LEFT ME LISE.......THEN YOU BLOCKED ME LOL Good best thing u did!!

Just for the record, as regard to the insinuating comment on my profile, it's from Dallas Mall (Adore), who operates several accounts on OSW. She was not happy with my comment about the toxic nature of Gentle Fire Grid.

JUST HAD ENOUGH OF BS!!!

In the heart of the digital realm, where grids and codes intertwined, there existed a special place known as the Gentle Fire Grid. This grid was unlike any other; it was a warm, welcoming community where avatars from all corners of the virtual world gathered to share stories, create art, and celebrate together.

As Christmas approached, the Gentle Fire Grid buzzed with excitement. The avatars decorated their virtual homes with twinkling lights, digital wreaths, and pixel-perfect Christmas trees. The air was filled with the sound of cheerful carols and the scent of virtual gingerbread cookies.

One chilly December evening, the grid's founder, a wise and kind avatar named Santa Mint, decided to host a grand Christmas party. Invitations were sent out to all the neighboring grids, including the renowned OpenSim. The message read, "Merry Christmas from Gentle Fire Grid to OpenSim! Join us for a night of joy, laughter, and celebration with live singer's and DJ's"

On the night of the party, avatars from OpenSim arrived, their digital forms glowing with anticipation. They were greeted with open arms and warm smiles. The Gentle Fire Grid had prepared a feast of virtual delicacies, from pixelated plum pudding to holographic coffee.

As the night went on, the avatars shared stories of their adventures, exchanged gifts, and danced under the shimmering lights of the virtual sky. Santa Mint stood by the grand Christmas tree, watching the joy spread across the grid. It was a night to remember, a night where the boundaries of the digital world melted away, and the true spirit of Christmas shone brightly.

And so, the Gentle Fire Grid and OpenSim celebrated together, creating memories that would last a lifetime. It was a reminder that no matter where you are, the warmth of community and the magic of Christmas can bring everyone together.
