Exciting changes are coming to Home and Gardens! Not only will we have stunning historical homes powered by Bullet physics, but an entire region showcasing some of the finest and freshest properties in the Ubode Physics realm. We've also given H&G Furniture a complete overhaul, with a wealth of brand-new items that will make it easier than ever to find what you're looking for.

All three regions will have their own dedicated beacons, so you can easily navigate to the areas that interest you most. This massive undertaking has been months in the making, and I'm thrilled to finally unveil the new and improved Home and Gardens and H&G Furniture this Tuesday, March 4th at 9am grid time.

These homes are for your personal enjoyment only - no god-modding or unauthorized redistribution allowed. I work tirelessly for the people of the Open Sim, not for any individual grid. I can't wait for you all to experience the incredible transformation we've achieved!

The second day of the event was also very moving and wonderful. Thank you to everyone who doesn't let themselves be discouraged and who dares to stand up against the political pressure from the right, even in virtual worlds.

Auch der zweite Eventtag war sehr bewegend und wundervoll. Danke an allen, die sich nicht entmutigen lassen und sich trauen auch in virtuellen Welten gegen den politischen Rechtsdruck aufzustehen.

Hey Everybody, TOMORROW starting at 2pm Grid time until 4pm grid time, I will be on the Virtual Beach Grid to help commemorate the life and times of Trizzy Hunter who passed through the portal to eternity in December. This Memorial celebration is hosted by Mistress Dalgato. I hope you will take the time out of your busy schedules to attend and exchange memories of Trizzy who will be tremendously missed.
Beginning at 2:pm (14:00)grid time ----- grid.myvirtualbeach.com:8002:Virtual Beach Memorial Gardens ---- until approximately 2:20 pm (14:20). After the memorial service in the gardens we will transfer to ---- grid.myvirtualbeach.com:8002:Dagger's Edge ---where we will celebrate the life of Trizzy and I will bring you some of the best tunes from the 60's, 70's and 80's and let's continue in the joy that Trizzy wished for all of us.

Fifteen years, how fast they flew,
Dorena’s World, a dream come true.
A digital realm, so full of life,
With shared ideas, escaping strife.

From the first pixel to today’s delight,
You’ve built a world that shines so bright.
Friendship, dreams, and fantasy,
All united in harmony.

Let’s celebrate, day by day,
For all the wonders that pave the way.
Fifteen years of inspiration,
A reason for joyful celebration!
Further information on the upcoming events will follow.

This is a replica of Metacomet's war club from the late 1600's. It is currently on display at the Fruitlands Museum in Harvard Massachusetts. Each wampum inlay along the top commemorates an invader personally dispatched by Metacomet during the King Phillip War 1675-1678

While most of us associate PBR only with mirrors and shiny metals, there is a lot more to it since all surfaces benefit from it. The top pic here shows the room with the old standard (blinn phong) textures and materials taken using the FS 6.6.17 viewer, while the bottom pic shows the same room with all pbr textures taken using the FS 7.1.11 viewer. Note that you can add both texture sets to a surface so that any viewer can see something. Also note that there is a reflection probe filling this room that prevents the blue light outside from seeping in (a current known bug being investigated).

Saturation, lighting, and detail are significantly improved across the board when all surfaces are pbr, which is what Physically Based Rendering was designed to do: to more accurately capture the interplay of light on various surfaces. For those wondering about how performance was affected, these were taken using my 8 year old desktop that has a GTX 1070 graphics card. I was at 40 fps on ultra graphics, but you don't need to set the graphics that high to get this look. That's because the new viewer is more efficient since it uses more of your computer's available resources.

Howdy folks!!! One of our new grid members wanted a house that was very open, so with that thought in mind I created this house for her, however I'm making it available to anyone who would like it. This house features a built in fireplace, split levels, spiral stairs, decks, recessed ceiling lights (touch light), sliding doors and a carport. The build is pretty much all prim so it will be easy to modify and the mesh parts can be resized and re textured to your liking. It is full perm and free here at our mall, stop by and check it out. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Well, I couldn't really make a Douglas Fir and NOT decorate one for an old fashioned Christmas, Decorated with gold tinsel and red, white & green plaid bows, old fashioned decorated ornaments and multi colored lights with a big star at the top takes me back to my childhood days. It's free, it's full perm, it's yours to get at our Holidays & Seasons department. Drop in, no through the chimney, and get yours and may it bring you a bright, blessed and Merry Christmas, blessings and much love, Lavia.

Ich habe hier ein sehr merkwürdiges Problem mit OSW.

Wenn man dort auf meiner Seite: https://opensimworld.com/hop/89687 bei Visit this region: auf
HG klickt, schickt es einen an: secondlife://xenolandia.de:8002/Xenotown/540/161/23 Confused
Wie zum Teufel kommen die auf diese Koordinaten?

Bei mir ist der Landepunkt ganz normal auf 128/128/22
Der Beacon steht auch nicht auf 540/161/23.

Dass der Landepunkt mal etwas verfehlt wird, weiß ich.

Aber das ist es nicht!
Wenn man bei HG einfach die Linkadresse kopiert, steht da eben secondlife://xenolandia.de:8002/Xenotown/540/161/23. Es wird also auch dahin gezielt!

Aber warum zum Teufel?
Die Koordinaten stehen nirgendwo, wie kommt OSW also auf diese Schnapsidee?

Happy Birthday, Gentle Fire Grid! 🎉

Sometimes when you start to build you think, I don't think I can ever do this. But as you build, it begins to come alive and you're inspired and encouraged and it becomes a work of love. I have a love for ancient cultures and their architecture and customs and Japan is one of my favorites. A culture rich in traditions, customs, values and beliefs that are the heartbeat of the nation still today. This is Morisato Palace, Morisato means "flowing with or full of wisdom". It will be the central build of a new Japanese region I'm working on. When it's ready I'll put out a beacon and open the gates. For an idea of the size of this palace, that's me in the front of it in the pink top, the little white haired spot LOL. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

A special Shoutout to Thirza Ember and HG Safari group! I was honored to be included in your tour and have many new friends.

On your next visit, you can venture into the dark depths of a labyrinthine cavern, the promise of treasure mingling with the dread of what lies ahead. The shadows twist and turn, and soon, you find yourselves confronted by vengeful ghosts, their wails echoing off the damp stone walls.

In a frantic scramble to evade the spirits, you will rush through the narrow passages, but the caverns are alive with surprises. Cobwebs, thick and sticky, cling to your faces, and startled bats flutter out from the shadows, tangling in your hair.

The atmosphere is thick with tension, laughter, and the inevitable fear of what lurks just beyond the flickering light of their torches.

A few regions are down for the Weekend. Maintenance and upgrades, most are still up. Funland, City of Boston, and a couple others are down.

We're trying to determine which of our regions are the most and least popular and/or wanted.

If you could take a moment and leave a comment here to let us know which of the E Grid regions you like, if any, we'd be grateful. Most of the regions get fairly heavy traffic but few reviews, so it's hard to tell.

Thank you!

For all of you interested in animesh: I made a new animated free roaming dragon thats now available for testing peer review. Pick up a copy in my shoppie, read the notecard and knock yourself out!
Lemme know if the notecard was clear enough...its a bit tricky with this roaming script....
Have fun!

I appreciate the support of the OpenSim community in upvoting reviews of my region, even though some may be unfairly critical from those who have never actually visited.
My decision to ban an avatar I deemed underage (Child or Teen) was made in good faith, though it has prompted malicious and vindictive responses. If you've had a positive experience on my grid, I encourage you to share that by voting for accurate, unbiased reviews.

What is the “What Are You Looking For” group about? Come see: https://opensimworld.com/groups/1060

People post about items they are, well, looking for, like outfits, builds, shops, services, skills, and so on. With 119 members, it is the largest, and most active group on OSW.

Here's how it works.
• Post your request in the group.
• If you like, use group chat to provide the link to the post to immediately alert people about it.
• Please do not post requests or answer them in chat. We are an alternative to making a request in the Front Page Box. Like there, group chat text will disappear, while posts, and the replies, will persist, providing on-going help to people browsing the posts.
• And please, consider being a helper, and visiting regularly to do that.

Thanks to all helping this group help people find what they are looking for. And a welcome in advance to all who decide to join us.
