n Jahr voller „Das mache ich nächstes Jahr anders“,
„Zum Glück ist das vorbei“
und „Wow, das habe ich wirklich überlebt“ liegt hinter uns.

Zeit, das Chaos zu feiern, aus den guten Momenten Kraft zu ziehen
und die weniger guten mit Humor im alten Jahr zu lassen.
Lasst uns gemeinsam lachen, anstoßen, ein bisschen nachdenken
und dann mutig (oder zumindest optimistisch) ins neue Jahr stolpern.

Denn egal, was kommt:
Mit guten Menschen, ehrlichen Gesprächen und einem Glas in der Hand
fühlt sich all

to all
a happy new year

All vehicles can be altered or modified should you need, adjustments or additions happily done on request..

Trying my hand at something new - shoes and boots that I make in Meshy. They are not rigged but they are full perm so you can resize them in "stretch" in Edit and they are adjustable. If you can't get them to fit, just throw them in the trash. I have quite a few done, but I need to do the fitting and make sure they go on the correct feet. When I have more done I'll put them out. They can be found in the WOMEN'S building at the mall. Blessings and much love, Lavia

Wrote an article this morning because I was asked how I created flowers. One method is torturing prims, and I love to use the polar array in Blender to create flowers but another is to mod by creating flowers out of neat parts! For many of us it is a passion to find cool items that are full perms and then take the parts and mod them into a new item.

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.

Getting into the Holiday spirit, I've always loved the scenes with Christmas Angels especially the beautiful Victorian figurines, so I made these for you to enjoy and use for your own Christmas Decorations! They are found in the Holidays & Seasons section of our mall. They are free and full perm so enjoy! Blessings and much love, Lavia

Sub-Version Grid - will be going down for major maintenance some time tomorrow or Saturday.

As part of the maintenance, I am adding a new 4TB NVMe SSD to the Proxmox server which hosts the grid.

I am also building a new Debian 13 VM with more storage allocated than the 400GB it currently has, and finally migrate all the grid's data to the new VM.

It's the last step that will take the longest - rsyncing all the assets over from one drive to another will take several hours.

I am not going to be around on Sunday until the evening, so if the copy hasn't been completed by Saturday evening - the grid may not be up until Monday.

Even ChatGPT want's to join GroovyVerse. We're where it's at. :D
I have been using it so much this past week, it started spontaneously prefixing my function-names with groovy_ haha

It was even enthusiastic enough to make up a credits line at the bottom (on it's own)

Hope you enjoy.

Puttering with cars again because it pushes my PBR skills in new directions. Today I finally had a breakthrough with PBR glass that looks much closer to the real thing. That's transparent glass in the photos with real reflections achieved by modifying a silver PBR texture I had.

SL, and by extension Opensim, did not implement the full PBR spectrum of textures, leaving out about 5 or 6 types. One of those not included was Transmission, which communicates to the graphics engine the details of the glass surfaces. So I basically have been wracking my brain on and off trying to come as close as I can to the real thing. Today was a good day.
