About the newest Firestorm Viewer: I want to love it, but I don't. I really do love PBR materials and they show up just fine with the new viewer and they seem to have fixed the blurry, out of focus view when you move around in-world. Problem is, Animesh. I have to be right on top of the animesh to see it move. Koshari and I were in-world tonight and couldn't see any animesh moving unless we were right next to them and even then they seemed to lag out a bit. We both changed our viewer to the old, pre PBR viewer 6.6.17 and could see the animesh moving from all the way across the sim. My guess is that, because you are constantly rendering PBR textures in-world, they decreased the animation visibility to compensate for it. Until Firestorm gives us a toggle, slider, or patch to bring back proper animation distance, sticking with 6.6.17 is the smart move. The PBR viewer is beautiful, but not worth sacrificing functional animesh. That's a hard pass for me
Anyone have thoughts on this? Does anyone have any inside scoop on whether they plan on fixing this.

“Animation culling” is basically the viewer deciding not to bother updating animations for things that are “too far away” or “not important enough.”

Think of it as Firestorm saying:
“Hmm… you’re 40 meters away from that animesh? Yeah, I’m not wasting CPU cycles on making it dance. Freeze frame it is.”

More technically:

Animation Culling = Distance-Based Animation Shutdown

The viewer stops updating animations on avatars or animesh once they’re beyond a certain distance or priority threshold.
Instead of actually animating them, it just shows the last frame and saves performance.

Why viewers do it

To reduce:

CPU load

GPU load

Network updates

Overall rendering cost

In the PBR viewer, the rendering pipeline is heavier (PBR = shiny but hungry), so the viewer culls animations more aggressively.
What is the point of animesh if it only animates when you’re making out with it?

Moby – Der Weg eines Musikpioniers

Richard Melville Hall, der spater als Moby bekannt werden sollte, kam am 11. September 1965 in Harlem,
dem pulsierenden Herzen von New York City, zur Welt.
Seine Familie war gepragt von einer Mischung aus intellektueller Tradition und Alltagsnot.
Sein Vater, James Frederick Hall, ein engagierter Chemieprofessor, gab dem kleinen Richard kurz nach seiner Geburt den Spitznamen Moby,
inspiriert von der literarischen Erbschaft des Ur-Ur-Großonkels Herman Melville,
dessen Roman Moby Dick ein Meilenstein der amerikanischen Literatur darstellt. ...

I am aware of an issue with this region not being accessible via HG, map, teleport or grid members. The region shows in the Dreamgrid regions folder but not in the main GUI window. I do get emails about expired rentals which indicates its online but there is no dos box to prove that.

The cause of this is unknown, DG was recently updated to fix another issue. I noticed the region having issues after the update. Update doesn't mean its the cause.

I will fix this as soon as i can or once I know how lol. Apologies to all who have rental's on this region in my grid.

I know I can create a mantis but lets see if I can solve this on my own, maybe my tech guy will be able to figure it out, he is very smart but also so busy. So I guess I am putting my brain to work lol.

I upgraded this region to a bigger circuit, moved it to a server alone for this region and the racetrack is better than I did 2 years ago when I created the region (more large and more space to multiple drivers)

I have plans to develop different paths and be able to chose it with a script once I can (on the future).
Still need to add more decoration to the racetrack so it can have a better look.

Picture this: a wonderland nestled in the heart of a quaint town square, with snowy paths and twinkling fairy lights that dance playfully in the brisk winter air. The aroma of roasting chestnuts fills the air, the chestnuts are indeed hot, nestled in little paper cones that crackle as they’re handed to you, releasing their nutty, toasty perfume. You pop one into your mouth and it’s a symphony of flavor and warmth, a delightful contrast to the cold that nips at your nose, and sweet scent of caramelizing
sugar coating the freshly made crepes sizzling and each breath you take is a
delightful cocktail of festive scents that tickle your nose and warm your soul, not
forgetting roasts marshmallows over an open fire, the sticky sweetness of the melting marshmallows wafts through the air, a siren’s call to those with a sweet tooth. as you sit to enjoy your cheeks turn rosy from the flames as you attempt to craft the perfect s’more.

Hot drinks and steaming mugs of mulled wine and spiced cider are passed around, warmth seeping through your mittens and into your very bones. You can’t help but sip at the fragrant concoction, the spices of cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg pirouetting on your tongue, leaving a comforting of warmth and for the less adventurous, there’s hot chocolate so rich and creamy it’s like a warm hug from the inside out, topped with a mountain of whipped cream and a dusting of glittering sugar.

The stallholders are a merry bunch, their eyes twinkling with the same enthusiasm as the lights strung up above, you notice the details that make this place so special. Strands of garland draped over every surface, the rustle of pine needles from
fresh-cut wreaths, the occasional snowflake that flutters down from the sky,

The Carpe Noctem Christmas Market isn’t just a place to shop; it’s an experience that fills your heart with the magic of the season. It’s a place to create memories with friends and loved ones, to revel in the joy of giving and receiving, and to simply be present in the moment.

Stellen Sie sich Folgendes vor: ein Wunderland im Herzen eines malerischen Stadtplatzes, mit verschneiten Wegen und funkelnden Lichterketten, die verspielt in der frischen Winterluft tanzen. Der Duft gerösteter Kastanien liegt in der Luft, die Kastanien sind tatsächlich heiß, eingebettet in kleine Papiertüten, die knistern, wenn man sie Ihnen reicht, und ihren nussigen, gerösteten Duft verströmen. Sie stecken sich eins in den Mund und es ist eine Symphonie aus Geschmack und Wärme, ein herrlicher Kontrast zu der Kälte, die Ihre Nase erstickt, und dem süßen Duft von Karamell
Die frisch zubereiteten Crêpes brutzeln mit Zucker überzogen und jeder Atemzug ist ein
Ein köstlicher Cocktail aus festlichen Düften, der Ihre Nase kitzelt und Ihre Seele wärmt
Vergessen röstet Marshmallows über dem offenen Feuer, die klebrige Süße der schmelzenden Marshmallows weht durch die Luft, ein Sirenenruf für Naschkatzen. Während Sie sitzen und genießen, werden Ihre Wangen von den Flammen rosig, während Sie versuchen, den perfekten S’more zu kreieren.

Heiße Getränke und dampfende Becher mit Glühwein und gewürztem Apfelwein werden herumgereicht und die Wärme dringt durch die Handschuhe bis in die Knochen. Sie können nicht anders, als an dem duftenden Gebräu zu nippen, die Gewürze von Zimt, Nelken und Muskatnuss drehen sich auf Ihrer Zunge und hinterlassen eine wohlige Wärme. Und für die weniger Abenteuerlustigen gibt es heiße Schokolade, die so reichhaltig und cremig ist, dass man sie wie eine warme Umarmung fühlt von innen nach außen, garniert mit einem Berg Schlagsahne und einer Prise glitzerndem Zucker.

Die Standbesitzer sind ein fröhlicher Haufen, ihre Augen funkeln mit der gleichen Begeisterung wie die oben aufgereihten Lichter, man erkennt die Details, die diesen Ort so besonders machen. Girlandenstränge waren über jede Oberfläche drapiert, das Rascheln von Tannennadeln war zu hören frisch geschnittene Kränze, ab und zu eine Schneeflocke, die vom Himmel herabflattert.

Der Carpe Noctem Weihnachtsmarkt ist nicht nur ein Ort zum Einkaufen; Es ist ein Erlebnis, das Ihr Herz mit der Magie der Jahreszeit erfüllt. Es ist ein Ort, um mit Freunden und Liebsten Erinnerungen zu schaffen, die Freude am Geben und Empfangen zu genießen und einfach im Moment präsent zu sein.
