I love this genre and I stream it on my regions. Wolf Territories has DJ Illusions who not only plays it but also creates original pieces. AMV and Stark also have occasional events with this music.

Thanks Marianna! Playing with the glass/diamond look is fun :-) I used my basic silver pbr texture with high reflectivity and some transparency to achieve the effect on a statue.

Hi Spark :-) PBR is rewarding but will take you a little time experiment with to get comfortable with it.

Note: As Marianna mentioned below, your grid will need to have already been updated to version 0.9.3 or to the comparable Dreamgrid version before PBR will be available for you to use there.

Here are some links to get you started that were helpful to me.
My work with PBR started like many with trying to make a mirror. That taught me the basics of what to look for when editing materials in the the viewer. This is the video that got me started: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvTukP_A91o&list=PLIyBt3CA...

This link will cover the basics about PBR in Second Life, and by extension Opensim. Use it as a reference as you go along: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvTukP_A91o&list=PLIyBt3CA...

Here is a great place to get free materials and assets you can upload into Opensim: https://www.blenderkit.com/

And finally you will need a program to pack the pbr textures into a file that Opensim will be able to upload. I use this free program that's very easy to use just on your pc: https://aiaicapta.in/gltf-packer/

And of course you can always message me here for more info. I'm usually here in the evenings or during the day during my work week.

The grid will need to be implemented with PBR too. Before my grid was updated (thank you @Ferdzee) I tested at Osgrid.

@Jerralyn Franzic Here's the same shot with a pbr viewer, high graphics, and full draw distance. https://gyazo.com/7a11ddf4eb8c10c631f2458a73f409a6

Yes, those are the original textures which I left intact for people still using non-pbr viewers

Mirrors are fun and you don't need ultra graphics to see them

yes!!! for me it was a surprise, I thought I had to use the ultra high graphics and that it would kill me at any minute... and ho! surprise! .... my graphics are on medium .... and just by checking mirrors I could see everything...except me hahaha...I'll be a vampire I thought NO!!! I also had to check the real time reflection detail option! and tataaaa my reflection appeared it was great! :D

All of my Opensim content has had materials for years and I advertise it regularly. Now that I'm transitioning to PBR, I'm keeping all those original blinn-phong textures intact for those who are unable to upgrade to the PBR viewer and those whose grids or graphics are unable to support it.

For the first time my Wolf territories avatar was not able to get in. A shame since this is one of my favorite places on the hypergrid

There is no ban on Wolf Territories. Neither on the sim side, nor on the grid side. So maybe just tp problems?
