Thank you, I have supported a few Star Trek groups in the Metaverse over the years creating props or uniforms. I enjoy creating different avatars and costumes. I will look up starfleetinfinity.com and see the website thank you for reaching out and suggesting them. Please know that if you want to pass the outfit around or place it there to give is fine with me.

Thank you Marianna, if you do happen to drop into 3rdRockGrid some time, it would be a pleasure to chat about OpenSim in general. I am designer and estate manager for a 3x3 powered watercraft region, the HG link is :: grid.3rdrockgrid.com:8002:Great Central Lake, and thanks again for your post, I passed it along to several StarFleetInfinity friends.

Thank you very much, it would be enjoyable to see your 3x3 watercraft region! I have thought to create one too so that my jetski has plenty of room. As it is now I ride it on a 1x1 and it doesn't take long to see the bay lol. I am booked till Saturday, I will be by then!

Thank you it is little circles with a line "curve" woven through the circles. Basic shapes and then modifying the curve to weave throughout. I use Rhino so creating is much quicker for me than Blender. I am still learning my way in blender. I would love for you to do a tutorial on your texture work that is where I need help.

Love your work Marianna and it is practically the only jewelry I wear. I second the motion for Luna to give a texturing class. I know that will be a lot of work to pull it together and I am willing to help in any way possible to make it happen. It would be an honor to learn from you, my friend. Marianna probably has just the place for us to meet up. I hope you will consider it Luna. I bet some other folks would be interested too.

Thank you Star, while meeting up would be nice it would be better if the tutorial is published either at my website or here at OSW as an article so people in the future can see it too. I have a few how-to docs about it does require lots of planning for the doc to be concise. I work with Blender with models and such and did learn tips on texturing. My problem has always been in marking the seams with jewelry it is hard. So when I began in SL you will see that jewelry was texture mapped, when I came to OpenSim I got a bit lazy about it because even though I went through all of the steps to map it correctly the final result didn't look much different until you see Fred Beckhusen's gold wow. Luna too creates beautiful gold. I know that with the specular maps, it helps with shine but it is the Lighting that makes it look meh but with the new PBR technology it will be exciting to see gold with PBR enabled.

https://gyazo.com/fc2c6725016060fbc03e1c633472a2ea This shows how I do the curves I did this quickly so they are a bit thick, RhinoGold is much quicker and easier for me to work in. I can do curves and extrude in Blender too but it is much easier in RhinoGold https://youtu.be/gAWkKImmjzM This video shows how I begin creating the ring, this is a bit different ring but is the same idea. When I get my curves built I then polar array them around the band.

Ultimately, your choice of avatar height should reflect what makes you feel comfortable and connected to your virtual identity. Some people might prefer to be taller to stand out, while others might choose a smaller height for a more intimate feel. One should never dictate a height for avatars. Short Avatars being assumed as a child is nonsense. Personal preferences define our identities.

In a world teeming with existential questions and an insatiable desire for cosmic validation, one question stands out like a cosmic eye glinting in the vast expanse of space: Do we, mere Earthlings, truly matter in the grand scheme of the universe? Enter the quantum realm, where things get weird enough to rival your Uncle Bob's conspiracy theories. Some suggest that the act of observing a particle changes its behavior. Applying this to our existence, we could argue that the universe only takes form because we're here to observe it. In other words, without us, the universe would be like a Netflix series nobody's streaming – does it even exist if no one's watching?

You all missing the point of the post which is, for years we have personally seen many here suggest blocking/banning Avitron members saying they were botting. Now with Avitron closing again many of you are offering a home to them which is really kind since you at one time were banning them. That is the hypocrisy I think OpenLife is implying. These people should have always been welcome to your grids now that Avitron is closing many of you are like scavengers.

"Long live AviWorlds" is very similar to "We are AviTronianni! We are the best!"
Also I think you are no longer puilito, you just have fewer closures, but you have many stories of bans toward users without responding then to their emails, refunds for regions never issued, IARs and OARs promised and never issued, and grids blocked for futile reasons or because you were told by someone who never really substantiated his reasons and you did not verify, you just issued the ban, then proposing it, indeed forcefully setting it, in the grids opened by your clients in that very expensive H4OS, as with Friends Grid for example which found grids banned without even knowing it and thus becoming less friendly. .. so you impose your choices on others as well and where you shouldn't, yes, you are like Ferraris.
You also fail to manage AviWorlds properly, you have already lost users and are struggling to rebuild them, 5 thousand members don't count, avitron boasts 10 thousand between duplicates and curious accounts, it counts what you see when you are in a grid, often aviworlds is simply open but not working well...
But you of course will deny everything, it's ferraris art, so those who have experienced these situations with you know well that it's the truth what I wrote, and as usual, your friends' messages count for little... the truth is always something else, you only made a name for yourself by accusing ferraris in the past, but everyone knows, hate is the other side of love ;)

We Ban users because of breaking TOS or engaging in illegal activities. Banning Members is only done as a last resort. AviWorlds is still amongst the big fish in our monthly stats and its because we offer a stable environment and great support. God Speed as you say.

also with your partner, you know very well that you have very low numbers, only you still have some visits from HG, but you actually have duplicate connected and few active users, it is easy to manipulate numbers. I would add that you have a conflict of interest, because you want with your partner that aviworlds is the best, but meanwhile you sell OS services to third parties at unspeakable prices forcing them to accept your bans that are never justified! it is easy to say "I banned them for TOS violation", but then you should also answer people's emails to explain the reasons. for me you are the twin brother of Ferraris, with a little cleaner face, but still like him.

I have empathy for persons with disabilities but did Lone have empathy when he trashed my forum saying it wasn't secure, I have Multiple Sclerosis and am Autistic too. You all should be ashamed of yourselves too! You for one Luna find free creations and then want to sell them in a free and opensource community, wanting everyone to praise you as a fabulous content creator. We all have to be ashamed of ourselves for being honest? Lone wasn't being honest when he commented here that my Forum wasn't secure. That was an attack because it was untrue. What we are saying here isn't an attack it is facts. Since you all already think of me as Mad I could give a shit.

First, I don't think negatively of anyone, especially you, since I've always admired your work. Secondly, I don't think my work is fabulous since I have a lot of room for improvement. Lastly, 95% or more of what I make is prim-built or uses mesh components I create in blender. Being in Opensim, you and I both can do whatever we like with our own stuff. The only mesh I outsource and sometimes sell are statues, of which many are free but some I pay for. I am not a sculptor so I look for quality scan files of real world sculptures to use. The ones I use all come with a commercial license that allows me to sell them as long as I attribute the creator - I never claim to be the original creator for these. I sell these on the Kitely Market so that anyone in Opensim can buy and export them to their own grid, with Dreamgrids being some of my largest patrons. As you can see in this listing (https://www.kitely.com/market/product/70275470/Egyptian-So...), I not only provide the creator's name and license, but also provide the link where people can go get their own copy for free without buying mine. They would still of course have to run their copy through a 3d modeling program to be able to upload it into Opensim.

I appreciate that you clarify, and that you care to correct me. In your early days it was all the free statues being sold, I had these same statues. Do I think you should be compensated for that? I understand that you do apply nicer textures when you find the statues and your time is valuable. Putting a price on your time is your call. I spend hours creating and giving it freely and that is my decision on my time. I do think you create beautifully and have commented on your textures and your work. What offends me is saying we don't care about Lone's disability was hurtful because I have promoted both you and Lone.

Marianna, I know that you would never allow illegal content to be offered on Virtual-HG. I also know that you're one of the top creators of original mesh in OpenSim, and I like how your creations aren't rigged for any one specific body except for a few rings.
And yes, I acknowledge that there are free-by-license sources for high-quality 3-D models which are being used in OpenSim. Usually, users who do that name their sources. If they do that, it makes their works trustworthy.
A few have actually acquired content from Second Life legally, some still do, I acknowledge that, too. At least in more recent times, they add notecards to their sales boxes that name their sources and the conditions under which the content is being offered.
However, way too often, it's still too tempting to simply steal Second Life content, especially content for avatars such as mesh bodies or clothes rigged specifically for these mesh bodies. There still aren't exactly few freebie store owners whose business model is limited to this because they want to offer the highest quality possible and a large selection at the same time.
And by the way, when I come to visit your sims, it's either to see if you've got something new and interesting or because you've actually announced that you have something new and interesting. Occasionally, I show your sims to someone else who didn't know them yet.

I appreciate the kind words, and that you would recommend me that means a lot. I took it personally I guess because I am often questioned about my own content. Not all content in opensim is botted as long as others are aware that good content also comes from reputable sources too, is important to clarify that it isn't all botted.

My personal experience with Lone Wolf was when I announced my public forum. Lone commented here publicly that my site was not a secure site, and he would not join because it wasn't a secure site-he made it clear so others would be informed here at OSW. It was not accurate information as my site is secure with SSL certificate. It hurt me, people were then afraid to join. He said in the post if it was secure he would join and log in. After showing it was secure he never logged in. I had promoted Wolf Territories grid and still, he did this to me.
Just like this post shows the technical side of Wolf Territories grid, it is important to know this because he is charging 50 usd per month. That is a lot of money and it is important to know the tech side. OpenLife posted on Lone's thread and the thread was deleted. OpenLife has every right to post here just like you do. Is this an attack on Lone Wolf no it is being honest.

unfortunately, technical and truthful comments are inconvenient, and factions are created, I am retgistered recently, because I was looking for a person who deleted instead, now I understand why what were his reasons for removing everything. Anyway for sure your public forum must be interesting, and almost no site of any grid is in https, because some services are more complicated to put in than others, like secure connections, and not everyone knows how to do it, others because they don't want to spend too much there for a hobby that doesn't really bring profit. so lock or not, I would gladly come to your forum, where there is meeting and exchange of ideas and information is always a good place to increase one's knowledge.

I notice two things (but I'll venture one but I think I'm not wrong), the first is that you have a beautiful and simple as well as clear site in Joomla, with JOpensim active and well confiured and you have also included a great forum! the second is that your grid runs via DreamGrid, which is a great work by Fred, a former Linden employee if I remember correctly, an experienced programmer and has a company in technology.
the DreamGrid project works in VB.net, Fred will be able to confirm, which puts it at a little bit of a disadvantage if it has active timers in the code (timers in VB have always been problematic, too many timers create problems) but it's nothing really heavy in this case, just that I would pay more attention to maintenance and reboots of the regions and the DreamGrid software itself (which includes so much functionality! it's amazing!). Specifically, I would do more often whole backups either through those offered by the DreamGrid software or through external services, such as Cobian Backup (which has also changed its name now but Cobian 11 is fine) to copy and store the entire DreamGrid structure (one backup per day). I say this because I have noticed that many grids that have closed here suddenly perhaps were under DreamGrid if I have not misunderstood, and perhaps, because of an upgrade, because of a configuration (dreamgrid uses specific files obviously to manage its configurations), they have not recovered all their contents, so I humbly recommend the use of additional backup software such as the simple and free Cobian (it is not DreamGrid's fault if grids break down, it takes proper maintenance especially as data increases).
DreamGrid also handles secure connections perfectly, also your Forum is integrated into a Grid... very interesting, remember, but you will know this for sure, for DreamGrid written in VB manages and communicates with software written in c# (opensimulator), Fred will agree with me I think, and it is highly customized (for what are the functionalities) and it is amazing how it manages to do all this so fast, of course one advice is always to use the backup tools! because it makes them available and they are well done! great job I like it very much congratulations!
I don't know you, but your work is worthy of note and commitment, and it doesn't seem to me an insecure site especially knowing the structure of DreamGrid and how it works on the Database which if I'm not mistaken is only reachable from the inside, In fact DreamGrid puts a lot of attention on network security, as much as it is possible to keep a network secure because a lot also depends on the servers (or home pc's) and the fact that if you get an "Anonym" hacker, you're screwed anywayool
P.S. I don't use DreamGrid to make my own grid because I love to get my hands everywhere and customize as much as possible, but honestly for all the people who don't know how to set up a grid, or who just want a ready and quick control center, DreamGrid, but also Kubwa Grid Manager it seems to me is called the Kubwa project used mostly by German OS platforms, is well done but the principles are different from DreamGrid which offers something more honestly, it is an excellent solution, sure, I don't know how many regions it can support I have never tried it but I am sure that if well managed it can really do a lot also DreamGrid, moreover Fred's work is absolutely free for all, and I can imagine how much work is needed by Fred to keep an all-in-one platform active integrating every time new features and new Opensimulator versions and keep up with the development.
For Fred I imagine it is an ongoing challenge to make the software more and more stable and secure.
Great work!

I am replying here OpenLife because yours said Max Level for comments. I had WordPress and loved it. My Joomla has addons such as NicePage which makes blogging totally fun. It has a library of resources-webpages-blocks-images from various sources-e-commerce tools etc. after using it for over two years I am pleased with the ease too of working on the blog it is basically drag and drop content into blocks much like Weebly. I do pay for NicePage addon but for what it does I feel it is worth it. Yes httpdocs is an excellent idea to test I will do that in the future, I have thought of going WordPress I still might. A note about the fsassets folder it should never be deleted-only backed up!

I was wrong about JOpensim loool then know that if you are not bound to Jopensim, WordPress offers you a very nice and free Social-Like, BuddyPress, think about it and try it, you can put it in a folder in "httpdocs" maybe calling it WP_Test and then activate buddy, it is very well done it is a very well structured social. For the internal Joomla backup the plugin you use is fine, I think Fred, although I don't know it, technically can give me right, you still need a total backup, all the Outworldz folder (I think it's called I should review the DreamGrid structure) from where then the various services branch or anyway from the root folder and all the subfoldersel files included, with the shadowcopy active and the backup copy in reltime without interruption of services (FSAssets included that are many!) and this you can do through Cobian.
By the way, many non-experts, convinced to delete the Assetcache folder, delete FSAssets, and lose the assets of the world, when they log in then see everything white... that's why YOU MUST BACKUP THIS FOLDER!!! always!!!
now i would like to make others understand, that this is sharing knowledge or experience, and even i say something incorrect someone will always be able to correct me, but some network manager today learned something new, i am not talking about you, but others who will read... besides, some things I understood on my own, others I learned by reading, if I had only gone to say "my grid is better" and then ask $50 for a region, I understand the competition, but I can't be good then offering help or making videos or participating in interviews when my only purpose is to get profit by actually offering nothing since my grid doesn't work as well as I promote... it takes humility! Other grids have been criticized for this, I wonder why some are and some are not, however this is a discourse that has nothing to do with your excellent achievement. But some advice, hoping Fred can correct any technical errors, I felt like giving to all DreamGrid managers (and not only, think of the FSAssets folder).

basically yes, not all but most jewelry doesn't mod well. I cannot reduce it down to look {not thick) unless I made it nano. That takes more time in the workflow. So then when you think alright more time to produce and then it costs that much to upload (for friends yes) but I would not want to do this on a daily basis. I do have a SL Marketplace shop but don't expect lots there. It has been the same since 2012 when I first started creating jewelry. I have a few pieces there just not in the store yet. TBH it is more fun creating in Opensim, and giving freely.
