I understand at the box, comments get buried and the sought after item, gets lost in the comments (they do in any group chat). However, that said I feel the box is also important because there will always be new people who have not heard about your group. Yes, the only way for them to learn of our group is by advertising it and asking people to come here. Why does that make me feel like a used car salesman? Pushing and promoting a group all day when I can simply reply with their request? The only time their request would get buried is if nobody is there to help them, and if that is true, then we could not pass them the link to this group, right? Please let people join your group without pushing us to promote it! For years we shared things fine in that box, before this group. Requesting items at our community box helps strengthen and unite our community too, why does the box have to be all drama? I love this group but we can have both and thank you! Balance is key.

Thank you for sharing the texture, however those of us banned from Wolf Territories Grid are unable to teleport to the grid to pick up a texture. Why cannot we just Save As this texture shown here?

I use your fireworks every year Jimmy, these are over the top beeeeautiful!! Thank you!

This brings back sweet memories!!

I love it!! Your profile looks excellent! 💗

Gracias, tengo un vestido que uso de la rejilla Camballa of Soul de Karin Becker, un hermoso vestido renacentista. También es agradable usarlo en eventos formales. Gracias por su continuo apoyo

You deserve to live your life authentically and surrounded by people who love and respect you for exactly who you are. Your avatar is a beautiful resemblance of your RL, I love your work and what you bring to all of us, thank you Hyacinth

Gracias por tus lindos elogios, por eso creo gracias a personas tan agradables como tú, gracias.

Es un gran placer crear para gente amable y atenta, gracias. 💕🪷🌷

I agree the vast resources makes learning from step 1 a challenge. I know for me I have a very hard time with written instruction and following the steps, I get lost in "wording" sometimes. I started out using the YouTube videos, I would find one on what I would be currently working on such as a Ruffle, or a cupcake liner making those little zig zag folds. I would play the video just a few secs, stop it and try to do what was just shown. I continued this till I understood the steps of how. I must have had Blender on my Desktop for over two years before that. What also makes it a challenge is that you have to learn all the aspects, the modeling, texturing, rigging, and animating. What you learn is that Blender has lots of modifiers when enabled create the magic, even decimate cleaning up the model. Then you have multiple addons that work alongside blender to give more features. I love addons and use many different ones (that you also have to learn.) Make sure you have plenty of time too because it takes years and then you still have more learning to do. There has been basic blender classes but many don't focus on what each person needs to learn. I would love to help guide you any way that I can, it would benefit you the best is if we work on where you are at currently - a step at a time. I could give you tips as you progress. There are good videos you just have to search them out, and make sure you play them a few secs then stop and do what was just shown helps.

Taurus! And the Chinese Zodiac, the Rooster 🐓

Agree, when we first brought it to Opensim physics was such that we worked with what we had. At that time, I was just leaving SL and those surf days behind, so I had to have Anything to replace it lol, AND Kayaker was such a great soul to come to Opensim and take the challenge! I appreciate what you all have created very much!

I appreciate all you bring to opensim @LillySparks looks amazing! Surfing is like creating an art masterpiece, perfecting each wave with every stroke. I would like to see you bring some surfing competitions to Opensim! Every month, first Saturday of each month!

ahhhh...Yes the Rivendell Oar, by David Denny such a lovely region. One of my favorites! I remember you from Kitely I think it was 2016 or so. Your build Dark Side of The Rainbow, Pink Floyd blew my mind! Is it still up?

Roland is a brilliant artist. He gave me HHorse_Pegasus_Starry Fantasy horses. They are also textured perfectly for my region—a really neat blue. They are just lovely horses! Thank you, Safine, for highlighting what an amazing creator Roland is! Thank you Roland I love these horses!

Your cleanup script enabled us to bring in SkyRealm over 800 parts! I never thought that would be possible, Thank you, Ferd!

Yes, @FerdFrederix helped me with SkyRealm; he took a model with over 800 parts, then used Blender modifiers to clean edges, and that script helped to reduce the level of detail. He then made it six layers of over a hundred parts each then stacked it on top of the floating mountain. Without Fred’s help and guidance, this would not have been possible. Sincerely thank you, Fred. He is at this moment helping me with that Ikran rig, https://gyazo.com/00db1a89b1db18895ba97f5e5f525eec I started it and got lost in all the head bones lol! That is who I give all credit too, he has taught me so much. I appreciate you too @JoeBuilder, thank you for all your tips too~

Thanks for the tips, Luna. That .dae parsing issue comes up frequently on some of those free resources; clean up is key!

Jetting off to a place where the only thing on my schedule is sipping cocktails and watching sunsets. Reality can wait!
