Thank you Mari and I am glad you had a wonderful visit! Indeed there is much enchantment at Avedon Park

Please check out Black Cat Radio in SL, as well as The Mercury Ballroom (named after Freddie of course) in SL and take comfort in knowing the statue was legitimately purchased over a year ago.

Such a comment, about a "huge reduction in numbers" and 'crazy inflation all around the world" should come with some actual receipts. The math just does not back any of that up. Let me say up front, I am a noob who has only known OS for over a year, but I see tremendous growth around me and with PBR, creators now have so many great new tools to play with. What is going on at Wolfe Territories is great, and the Darkheart world has had to triple in size just to fit the people in. OSGrid itself might be declining, but i think that is self created as they block off their grid to the rest of Open Sim out of hand, not having faith in their own region owners to police our own projects. Not exactly a "welcoming" attitude, but hey, it is what it is. I still meet at least 1-2 people new to OS every day, mostly from SL and fed up with being gauged for her dollar that Ll can squeeze out of them. And yes, the fact that it is Summer is no small issue. I think a drop in activity during summer is pretty common, isn't it? OS as a whole is growing, OSGrid, maybe not so much but that seam by design, so i do not think things are as dire as described.

So many great items in the shop, and the Glossy Islands is beautiful

i picked up one of these. they look even better than the phot when you rez them. very cool!

Jimmy, thank you for providing us with the things we need to help build the visions we have inside our heads and providing it all for free and with no restriction.

Very much agree with this! It would be nice if OSGrid and Opensimword would set the example from above.

a case of Soda -- always a good idea =)

Hola, en la estación, intente hacer clic en el letrero "Luna's Landing". Debería llevarte a Desembarco de la Luna y allí encontrarás chi-chis.

here is Yin Yang

Good for you Germangrid! My avatar is 5.76 female (175.26) so actually taller than my RL body. In RL, my avi could be dunking a basketball in the WNBA. Yet I am by far one of the smaller avis that I come across in OS. Some have even had to the gall to tell me I was a "child" and needed to make myself taller or leave (looking at you Lbsa plaza!) The fact is that the giants avis damage the OS experience by making everything much bigger than it needs to be to fit their mile high view.

I totally support your effort on support of realistic body hight at German grid, but please be careful by saying child avitars are not strictly forbidden. You dont want Dan or Satyre simply blocking your entire grid for not other reason that you have allowed young/child size avitars. Avedon Park is a moderate region, so I allow anyone there, even giant goofy-looking male avatars with big muscles and tiny heads. Avedon South is adult rated and I enforce that accordingly.

Could men not simply set the male avatars to a reasonable height, and maybe pull the muscles back bit? You listed many fits and it is also great way to safe space. Realistic avitars do not eat up much space, there view is lower, so you can build at more realistic levels.

This works fine for me. Then LM the location and you can get back easily. It is very much worth a visit. Aurora has done an amazing job.

What you have done is really amazing, I say go for it!!

Great outfit! This was my first visit and was amazed by all the great clothes and how well it was all placed together!

ha, love the gas sign Star!

Wow, you can almost hear the wind in the trees. Love the sky setting!

Wow, this is very beautiful. A lovely creation.

Woohoo! Watched it with my morning coffee today and really enjoyed. You showed me exactly what I was trying to discover and that is what are the types of textures you will need for each texture under full PBR. I subscribed to your channel and hope you will do more of these! Thank you for sharing.

Looking good! It is going too take some time to find the right balance, but I think your showing off the potential that is there.

SL, or LL to be more specific, is doing just fine. At least businesswise that is. If you are going by land mass, then yes, yhey are at a standstill and OS is flourishing. The reasons for that are obvious and have more to with LL's overpriced land than anything. Population and activity wise, SL is doing just fine. They have about the same amount of people, but those people are spending almost twice as much money than they did before! Daily transactions have almost tripled in the last five years, and remember LL gets a piece of that. Also, their paid memberships and lifetime membership have grown.

The truth of the matter though is that SL is not the engine that drives LL anymore. It has not been for time. That role is taken over by Tilla. Despite what Glenn may tell you with the most colorful language, the "3 Libtards" who own LL amazingly well for themselves. Tilla does not just handle transactions for SL, but it is used by VR Chat and other worlds. Tilla is nothing less than the 3 Amigos old a HUGE piece of Tilla off to Thunes. (A pretty blatant capitalistic move for "libtards".) They are now yach shopping and now have a ton of cash to spend. And it looks like they are spending a lot it on trying to drag the technology that was strewn together at the start of Second Life into something more in line with how game developers build their worlds today. LL, and SL by default. It will not happen at OS today or even tomorrow, nor should it, but it will happen.

Oh shoot. Also, thank you for the link to the textures, I have picked up several nice wood textures already!

Does exactly what it says and it is so easy to set up that even I could do it. Thank you Val for all the work and love you put into your items.
