My PBR Japanese Home at Lunaria Emporium has been updated with better reflection probe coverage and improved day lighting inside. As seen in the photo, there are light switches in each room that control the different zones and the colors represent different lighting types.

Blue is for inside daylight and red is for the interior lamplight. The green one is only in the front room and out in the garden in the pavilion and controls exterior lighting.

If you have a previous version of this home, please contact me in Discord for an updated version https://discord.gg/SMBaqan3Ny If you would like to know more about reflection probes and PBR, check out the Tutorials channel in my Discord server.

You can walk through the home at the Emporium by clicking the Japanese sign on the left as you enter the lobby.

Happy Birthday, Ferd Frederix! 🎉

Today we celebrate not just another trip around the sun, but the man who’s kept whole worlds spinning.

Ferd, thank you for the countless hours you’ve poured into OpenSim — the fine-tuning, the bug hunting, the late-night fixes, the jaw-dropping characters and assets you’ve created, and the tools you’ve built that make our grids feel like home.
You’ve kept servers alive when they should have flatlined, solved problems the rest of us couldn’t even pronounce, and inspired new creators with your generosity and skill.

The OpenSim community runs smoother, plays harder, and dreams bigger because of you.

Here’s to your brilliance, your humor, your creativity… and to many more years of building worlds with your signature magic.

Happy Birthday, Ferd — we adore you!💕😘

Just put out a few more new Christmas Items including a fireplace and medieval hearth, Coco the Christmas Mouse, and a baby Christmas Owl and much more. Stop by and visit our Holidays & Seasons section to find some one of a kind Christmas Items that are free, full perm and made by your truly. Blessings and much love, Lavia

Ages ago, I satirized events in SL like "Best in Bikini" and "Best in Cute" with my “Best In Demo” event. SL Creators used demo tags and took other such measures to prevent people from using a free version as a final, permanent piece. So, imagine your Avatar using a pre-mesh no-mod shape from a shop with demo sized huge hands and feet. You'd be wearing flexihair with demo signs attached. Add on a skin extensively tattooed with “demo,” and wearing clothing with the word demo woven into the texture. You'd have a nightmare of an avatar – and one that might win the “Best In Demo” event. The prize? A demo version of a trophy.

The event was hilarious, and so popular that other clubs copied the idea. You can say my “Best in Demo” event was a demo for Best In Demo events.Then came OS. Sadly, there are no demos here, and so, no Best In Demo events either. But there are other fun event ideas. Consider “Best In Complexity”. It's actually a bad event idea, and found in the OSW group "Best of Bad Event Ideas." The group has a new bad event idea: Best In Doomscrolling. Remember -- you can't get PTSD if you are the traumatic event. https://opensimworld.com/post/125621?msgSuccess=Posted

Add your own bad event idea to the group if you like.

X-petite: Vier Outfits, ein modischer Warnhinweis.

Weiß? Als wär’s ein Unschuldslamm mit Absatz. Streifen? Weil du dich nicht entscheiden musst, ob du süß oder gefährlich bist. Schwarz? Für alle, die beim Flirten lieber die Kontrolle behalten. Und Blau? Das Kleid, das aussieht wie „Ich hab keine Zeit für Smalltalk, ich bin hier, um zu glänzen.“

Diese Looks sind nicht für Leute, die sich fragen, ob das zu gewagt ist. Sie sind für Leute, die sich fragen, ob der Raum groß genug ist für ihr Ego und ihr Outfit. X-petite – trag’s, bevor es jemand anderer tut!

Hello friends. It's done. The first thing to open on the main island is the garden centre. There are hundreds of plants, from flower pots to giant palm trees. All plants on the island are available for purchase (right-click).
Later, the beach shop will open, followed by the DIY store. Then, with this start-up aid, all owners of a new island should be able to quickly begin building.

Have fun, everyone!

Hi guys.
I was just pondering Christmas, i was wondering if any one on any grid is thinking of an xmas event? Bringing all grids together.
Perhaps a place where everyone could have a booth?
where any one is free to join in. A amazing event for everyone to join?
Maybe a certain grid hosting this years and then pass the torch to another grid next year?
there are some amazing people in opensim, this would be a place to showcase everyones places, get out there, promote and give out landmarks ect. even if it just ran for a few days. somewhere where everyone could mingle. idk..lemme know your thoughts or if you wanna host ect? hugs guys and gals

Act Now for a Peaceful World

In a time of turbulence, tumult, and uncertainty, it is critical for everyone to take concrete action to mobilize for peace.

From peacekeepers on the front lines of conflict, to community members, to students in classrooms around the world, everyone has a role to play. We must speak up against violence, hate, discrimination, and inequality; practice respect; and embrace the diversity of our world.

There are many ways to act right now. Spark conversations about the urgent need for understanding, non-violence, and disarmament. Volunteer in your community, listen to voices different from your own, challenge discriminatory language in your workplace, report bullying both online and offline, and take the time to verify facts before you post on social media.

As has become tradition we support a number of causes such as:
UNICEF
United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees
United Nations Refugee Agency
United Nations World Food Program
United Nations Human Rights
Amnesty International

You can send in proof of donations and get a Mini Sim for 3 months for free

Join us on Events region on the 21st for 4 hours with 3 of our best DJs:

- 10am HAZELI TO with her love of the world mix
- 11am MATTIE doing a sympathetic peace mix for two hours
- 1pm will see the BIG BOSS VINCENT spin us out with a soft rock set

👑 Gianni bei BK Mode – weil dein Avatar besser aussieht als du selbst

Wer braucht schon echte Kleidung, wenn man digital makellos sein kann? Gianni liefert Looks, die so perfekt sitzen, dass man fast vergisst, dass sie aus Pixeln bestehen. Diese Kollektion ist nicht für den Alltag gedacht – sondern für den besseren, virtuellen Alltag, in dem Jogger nie ausleiern und Tanktops nie peinlich wirken.

BK Mode macht Mode für Avatare, die wissen, dass Stil kein Zufall ist – sondern eine Frage der Programmierung.

I'm probably driving people crazy posting these new mesh builds of mine but honestly they're just turning out too cute not to share. This one I call "Frolicking in The Flowers" and she's such a dear deer, I just had to create a cute little scene even added a couple of my new mesh butterflies (They're static) but I think it looks so sweet and it's full perm and free!! You can find her in the Garden Center with the Udderly Adorable calf and that cute little stinker with the Flower Power. Blessings and much love, Lavia

Oh my goodness!! this turned out so cute!! This is a mesh I call "Flower Power", a tiny baby skunk wearing glasses sitting in a bunch of flowers that I used to create the scene. This adorable little Skunky as found in the Garden Center at our mall. It's free and full perm so enjoy. Blessings and much love, Lavia

ATHENA – 6 Looks, die sitzen

🟦 Look 1: Türkis & Schwarz Crop-Top mit klarer Linie, schwarze Hose, Boots. Direkt, kantig, einsatzbereit.

🟫 Look 2: Camo & Cut Camouflage unten, Bandeau oben. Ein Outfit wie ein Seitenwechsel – nicht laut, aber deutlich.

🖤 Look 3: Straps & Boots Beige und Schwarz, viel Haut, wenig Zweifel. Wer das trägt, braucht keine Erklärung.

🔵 Look 4: Blau & Weinrot Zweiteiler mit Punch. Die Farben sprechen für sich – und sagen mehr als jeder Slogan.

🟣 Look 5: Hoodie & Shorts Lässig, aber nicht beliebig. Der Text hinten ist kein Deko – er meint’s ernst.

🟨 Look 6: Jogger in Gelb Jacke und Hose, kein Schnickschnack dafür mit mächtig Speed.

About Rigged Jewelry in My Shop

Some visitors have asked about resizing or rigging jewelry to fit their avatars. Here’s how it works:

Rings: My rings are rigged for a standard female hand shape. Often they will also fit men’s avatars, but for a perfect fit I would need to rig the ring to that exact avatar’s mesh. That requires uploading their full avatar to Blender, which most people understandably don’t want to (or don’t know how to) do. Because of the time and complexity involved, I don’t offer custom rigging.

Necklaces & Other Jewelry: Rigging necklaces to avatars isn’t practical. They tend to move in unrealistic ways, “flopping” around the body. Static or unrigged versions usually look better in-world.

Why I Don’t Offer Rigging Services: Every avatar body and hand mesh is different, and keeping up with all of them would be impossible. Rigging each piece individually takes significant time and effort.

I appreciate everyone who visits and enjoys my creations. Please know that what you see in the shop is what’s available—ready to wear as-is.

@Fred Beckhusen suggests "If you were to become a bug, you could do so by wearing an avatar that would allow you to experience the world from a bug's perspective. Imagine visiting a garden where everything is to scale, and you could truly be the bug. You would be able to explore this miniature world, see the intricacies of the plants and flowers, and feel the wind blowing through the grass virtually. You could crawl through tunnels and crevices, and even fly to new heights. Being a bug could give you a whole new appreciation for the world around you and the creatures that inhabit it." three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Goliath Gardens
