Luna Lunaria^✦ @lunalunaria

Found a parking space for the X-Wing over at the store. Flew her over from Luna Starbase after giving her a new PBR paint job. Might be time again to give her some exercise flying across the grid.

Made by Lain Iwakura of Iwakura Systems and scripted by Armenious Horada. I helped Lain with the model upload issues and some of the texturing and also helped with flight testing. They have some interesting hud, weapons, and flight characteristics. Armenious has moved on to other projects outside of Opensim and Lain is no longer making the models though she is still on Kitely. Their entire inventory of about 20 ships was given to me as a trust to preserve. I'll eventually display them all at Starbase.

You can see the X-Wing at the store next to the cinema. HG Address is grid.wolfterritories.org:8002:Lunaria Emporium - Main Store

One-destination hypergate available at the store. Set it to any destination on your region, your grid, or on the hypergrid. Click the Egyptian sign in the lobby to get to the display. This photo is unretouched, taken using the new midday setting. To see it this way in world, use the latest Firestorm viewer 7.1.11 then activate the left-side mirror options in the graphics settings. Original gold textures will be seen if using the older FS 6.6.17 viewer and I recommend using shared environment in that case, since the old default midday will yield the poorest results.

Chapter 11 - Maeia from my book Eos Renascent is now on Wattpad. You can read it here for free: https://www.wattpad.com/story/176823549-eos-renascent

“Hello little one,” Maeia addressed the apparition waiting for her. The girl appeared prepubescent, with long dark hair and stunning gold eyes. She didn’t answer, gazing instead into Maeia’s face with shameless curiosity. “You’re a little bold for a phasma,” Maeia continued, using the name her order called these embodied memories. Other phasma continued to walk near them and through them.

“And what would your name be if you were real, I wonder?” Maeia asked, not expecting an answer. Sure enough, she didn’t get one, just more of the same intensely curious stare. “Well, regardless, lead on, take me where you will.”

I’ll call you Leta, she thought to herself, the hidden one.

Leta turned to go, and without looking, reached out her left hand to take Maeia’s in hers. Maeia froze in stunned amazement, staring down at the small hand in hers.

I can feel her hand, she thought. That shouldn’t be possible.

Chapter 10 - Amaranthine from my book Eos Renascent is now on Wattpad. You can read it here for free: https://www.wattpad.com/story/176823549-eos-renascent

“I…I..” he stammered, unable to find words for what he was experiencing.

These are not your past,” she said gently, “these are all you, now, in this moment.” She let go of his hands. “You will not remember it all, but you will remember the feelings and the longings, the love and companionship. They will carry you to fulfill your purpose.”

“I don’t want to leave,” he tried to say, as the beautiful scene slowly faded then disappeared.

Lukas found himself back at the gathering in the temple with the Amaranthine, unaware of the angry crowd around him. He felt the fog descend over his mind once more and it saddened him. Falling to his knees, he looked up into her eyes as she reached down to touch his cheek.

“Always remember, Lukas, you only see what you're looking for. When you want only love, you will see nothing else.”

Someone asked to see a PBR mirror in Opensim so here's mine. Use the latest Firestorm viewer 7.1.10.75913 and make sure mirrors are enabled in your graphics settings. You can find the instructions to make your own here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvTukP_A91o

The Lotus Club is now available at the Emporium! Modeled after the original club at Luxor, this one comes fully loaded with accessories and can be modified and copied. The base size is 160m x 110m. Click on the Egyptian sign in the lobby to get to the display area.

Teaching myself pbr materials. Very different process to get those materials into OS. This is the clearest comparison yet of the difference between legacy materials and pbr materials. The one on the left was the best I was able to do with regular materials using only the original diffuse, normal, and specular textures. The one on the right uses all the original textures and shows them correctly.

The second phase of the Egyptian Display area at Lunaria Emporium is now open, which includes the smaller items such as statues, columns, flora, and the small temple. Some of the items are free and full perm. The third phase will be the completion of the pyramid that's there.

After many requests, I've added a new Egyptian area to my store Lunaria Emporium on Wolf Territories Grid. Most of the large items are ready, except for the pyramid club which is nearly done. There are a few smaller items ready but there will be many more of those to come and some will be free. Click the Egyptian sign in the lobby to teleport there.

Chapter 9 - The Oracle, from my book Eos Renascent, is now on Wattpad. You can read it here: https://www.wattpad.com/story/176823549-eos-renascent

"The ambassador bowed her head with a look of sorrow. 'Then I am lost and do not know the way forward in this world,' she replied.

'You do not want this world,' the Oracle replied in a softer tone. 'The only thing of value in it is whatever part of it you look upon with love. This gives it the only reality it will ever have. Love cannot be taught or learned, for there was never a time when you didn't know it. It is all-encompassing, forming the essence of what you are. Your journey will end when you have recognized all that Love is not. That is the interference; that is what needs to be undone.' ”
