The Grove Bistro is a freebie little restaurant anyone can come and copy/buy for 0 on Birch Grove Spring. A while back I found both this cute little building (on Klamotto region) as well as a really cool collection of food on Sketchfab from a RL restaurant. I have been meaning to make a restauant combining both elements. Be aware there are some separate parts. The tables are LK from the Moonlight series and they have all the plates in them. I didn't like the square plates the originals came with so it's all on some classic round plates made by Sunny from OpenSimCreations. It was sorta supposed to be for Valentines day but the time got away on me so it's just for anytime and a cool place for your avs to go pretent to eat...lol. Not everything is free to copy/buy for 0 if it came from other creators and the perms were not so. Beside the cemetary and behind the Afree Hair Salon. Enjoy!

After a couple days of extensive testing and re config, the E Grid Hypergrid seems to be in working order again.

Port issues, apparently resolved, we believe :)

Thanks for your patience!

Hello everyone, there are some new legacy clothes in my shop again. Come by and let yourself be surprised :) This swimsuit is also included...

Good morning to Aviworld residents and outsiders. My understanding is people are upset about renting FREE parcels and being on lands that read General and Nudity in every place around them. This was brought to my attention, and really, I never looked at it; I just looked at people joining to play their game as they wished. But as of today, I draw the line; we will have general locations and adult locations. Please inform any staff of what location you would like to be in; we will also be preparing new note cards that will be given out. If your in General Location with nudity out you will be asked 1 time to remove 2nd time it will be returned to you Thank you for your understanding. Remember, we are all people here to play our GAME as we see fit. Try to understand the others around you; not 2 people are the same. And if you are a resident already and you are concerned, contact one of us staff; we can help. Our goal is to make each resident of AVIWORLDS happy, not uncomfortable.
Also New Location Coming in to AVIWORLDS......Aviworlds Dinkie Villa

Infinity 11's New Home Office for Rentals is now : @ the wolf territories grid welcome area. There is a email box at the door- or you can message me direct. If you like can even leave a private message here on opensimworld.com. :) Free Rentals to qualifying adult canidates.
Thank you!

All people really want in a virtual world is a place to call home

A place where they can express themselves, connect with others, and feel secure.

Friends grid....a place to call home!

If you found the way in the big city in the quarter old town red light district then you should explore the houses. It is not just some lego boxes with textures. I tried to make all realistic and sometimes people walk or even talk to you. Then nightlife in the heart of the city can be fun. Chinese quarter is close to it. But lights for the midnight environment are still not like in cyberpunk 2077 lol Is a bit more difficult to get the ambient for midnight environment.
How you come from City Railway Mainstation in Big City itself (not landing point railwaystation) to the old town quarter.

Way back in the day, people "donated" their likeness to be used as the NPC dance partners that we all know and love. They are stored as simple notecards inside of our dance machines.

What I would like to propose, is a project where people can CONSENTUALLY donate their NPC clone notecard for use in everyone's dance machines. After being checked for quality (no missing parts) they would be available as a collection for anyone to use in their dance machines. I think everyone would appreciate some new NPC partners. :)

I know avatars are deeply personal, and people are sensitive about it. Maybe people can come dressed in an old outfit/look to donate a clone? What I am thinking is a machine that you click, and it asks for permission to clone you. It could be at several locations on different grids. Then we can get together periodically and pool our notecard collections.

Sam and I are restarting our tradition of Thursday parties. You are warmly welcome to come enjoy our eclectic mix in a super relaxed environment. 11am - 3-ish PM SLT Every Thursday.

Good morning to all you crazy shoppers out there. I hope you are all doing well! I have been putting out a few more items, I am slowly getting there. I have a lot of fillers and backdrops out and now I am working on the builds. I am putting scripts into the doors so it is taking me a bit more time than I would like. But please continue to hang in there with me and I will get there.... Eventually lol ♥

Hi! I'm an Aussie who has been in virtual worlds (SL & OS) for nearly 20 years. I'm a tertiary educator. My undergrad students have done lessons in SL every semester since 2008. I've developed two regions on Kitely in the past: Chinese Island & 1820 Singapore. Sadly, both are no longer online.

Best wishes for an excellent New Year! 2025!

This Christmas, H&G is spreading holiday cheer with an array of exciting upgrades. While preserving beloved elements of the bullet homes, an entirely new Ubode Tested Homes region is in the works. But the improvements don't stop there - H&G Furniture is also undergoing a fresh new look. Both the homes and furniture updates are in progress, and will soon stand alongside the existing Homes and Gardens Regions, ushering in a Christmas filled with hope and renewal. Watch in the NEW Year For notices.

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.
