I am working on this region for some weeks now and it is evolving... Terraforming, building bridges, stairs, hills... there will be boats and horses... working on a helicopter... on the land are houses with furniture themed for different preferences....

Bad Event Idea Zero: The Best of Eating Hot Peppers, Drinking a Gallon of Whole Milk, Dunking Yourself in Ice Water, and Looking Beyond the Future of Humanity.

This is a bad idea simply because it has been done so many times before.

Hello Friends. I need a couple of volunteers for Le Beau Retrouve' Art Gallery on Sept 29th during the Fall opening event.
I need a tour guide for the Special Projects Exhibition. This will take place around 11:15am - 12 PM SLT. This is mainly a supportive role to guide people through the exhibit, which is on a 2x2 region attached to the gallery.
The second volunteer I need is a good photographer for the event starting at 12 noon SLT. I want photos of the attendees...think Red Carpet...but also candid photos during the event as well.
I would do all of these things myself, but I will be busy working with the entertainment part of the event, and during, I will be busy greeting guests, answering questions, etc., and generally a nervous wreck.
Please let me know if you can help out. Thank you so very much!

An ancient wall is before you, constructed from large limestone blocks. The centuries have left their mark, etching deep pits and cracks into the stone. The surface is now a dark, almost blackened hue, the result of countless years of exposure to the elements. Despite the wall's somber and worn appearance, a single ray of light pierces through the gloom, casting a gentle, golden glow on a small section of the stone. This touch of light brings out the subtle textures and details in the limestone, revealing hints of its original, pale color. The contrast between the illuminated area and the surrounding darkness emphasizes the wall's age and the stories it holds within its weathered stones.

Textures............. they tell the story for you..

When people post private conversations it does get complicated and mixed up. It was never about stealing a texture it is about coming to my Grid long enough to see the idea and take it back with you. Sure you say everyone does it and it is a form of flattery. Luna's texture is not what this is about. Perhaps the most significant aspect of this issue is the theft of ideas. Textures and assets are not just passive elements; they contribute to the overall narrative and aesthetic of a piece. When someone replicates these elements without permission, they're not just copying pixels—they're co-opting the creative vision and storytelling of the original artist. They're diluting the integrity of the work and robbing it of its unique identity.

In the digital age, where content is easily accessible and infinitely replicable, it's crucial to uphold principles of respect, integrity, and ethical conduct. Instead of focusing solely on the act of stealing textures or assets, let's shift our attention to the broader issue of respecting creative ideas and the individuals behind them. Let's foster a culture of collaboration, attribution, and appreciation—a culture where ideas are celebrated, not stolen. Because ultimately, it's not about the texture—it's about the idea. It is not okay to take free items found online and sell them on the Kitely market either. The terms say for personal use, not for commercial. To say well my clients don't know how to create the models so they buy from me, I add my purple textures and they love them. Makes no difference. Not for commercial use means just that. I see one model being sold that is questionable https://www.kitely.com/market/product/50022077/Couple-Figu... Luna shows a license and creator there which conflicts with this https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/art/the-dance-3d-model which clearly states for Private use so which license is accurate? When there is a question as to where the original came from ethically you should not resell it without knowing the original creators TOS.

Progress: front beaches are now swimmable and have vast underwater scenes with hundreds of fishes. Ghost prims linger, unfortunately. A floatie can be rezzed, or a static "Swim ball" in some choice underwater photography spots. No new products, but uploading and work continues.

Request: I am looking for [newer and better] swimming animations.

Sometimes I just can't help myself and I go a little crazier than I normally am, and I do another build. This one is a modern office setting with two large offices, waiting area, reception area, small bathroom and elevator on the first level and a beautiful conference area complete with a warm fireplace and a wall waterfall and both levels are wall to wall carpeting. It is a modern stone, steel, brass and glass build with burgundy and gold marble walls on the interior and maple paneling. This build will look great on your grid and add a bit of elegance to it and it's free, full perm and waiting just for you here at the Star Jinn Palisade Mall! Blessings and much love, Lavia

TOMORROW!! May 1st, the HG Safari gang will be touring our very own Haven Of Memories region. This region is dedicated to preserving the beautiful memories of those loved ones, family members and friends, human or pet, who have gone through the portal of the ages and crossed over the rainbow bridge, not with a goodbye but "Until We Meet Again". Join HG Safari for this tour of a beautiful region that is created and designed with special consideration and love for others. The whole Safari begins with with a trip to Pangea grid where Karsten Runningbear invites everyone to explore his vehicle workshop, where he scripts all kinds of transportation - bike, car, plane, and boat - even a special seaplane that lands realistically on water! Bring your physical vehicle script questions, and be ready to crash a few times. After that, I will guide you through a tour of genesis grid's memorial region where people can go to remember loved ones. I will explain the motivation behind the build. Join us for the HG Safari tour. Wednesday, May 1st beginning at 12 noon pacific (SLT aka grid) time. The tour start point is hg.osgrid.org:80:HG Safari - grab a notecard with the LM list on it and jump in the tour. I look forward to seeing you all there!
