I take a lot of photos on trips to Hawaii, and some may become part of my world of Haleakaloha.

Need to find a good stream for my Hypergrid megaregion, so will spend time. It needs to be a little quirky and not too commercial. tun.in/sevWo

There’s a lot going on in this story, and I’m playing around with some of it. And ZOMG, I’m committed to something! #OpenSim #SecondLife OpenSim land area continued to increase gaining a total of 3,400 standard region equivalents this month — after gaining more than 9,000 regions last month. The number of active users also increased by 1,300. Source: OpenSim land rally continues – I’m running one of these little mini-grids: These stats do not include most of the mini-grids running on the DreamWorld distribution of OpenSim, or private company or school grids. DreamWorld has counted more than 8,483 mini-grids…

Progress is being made on both online fronts. For the deeply confused, such as myself, here’s the rundown. Second Life: Bowler Hat needs some love, but I think I figured out the final few steps to finish the meshing of it and I reviewed how to do an Ambient Occlusion bake (again) with another project. I keep having to look it up to catch all the “gotcha” settings. I wish there was a way to just “blammo” the settings for AO test and AO final bake (or is there one…). Haleakaloha: Definitely making progress. It’s really only “up and running”…

Thanks to +FerdFrederix, my connection issues have been resolved (all my own fault). To celebrate, I picked up a few odds and ends. There were a LOT of quality items at the HG Safari region on the Francogrid. I’ve been following the saga of the HG Safari traveling club for a long time, it was fun to see their beautifully decorated HQ. This was where I found 3 – THREE – nice female AOs. No more duckwalk for me! Also found my way to Taarna Welles’ wonderful emporium where I found this fun steampunk outfit. I was trying to adjust…

Amazingly, I have been working on something in Blender and actually have something to show for it. I’ve been obsessing about Blender lately, but not actually working in Blender. But I needed to get my head and hand back in the game, so here’s what I have so far. It will be a simple thing with a ribbon hatband, and possibly flexi-feathers on the side. I was thinking about doing one, and then saw a local production of the musical “Ragtime,” and was struck by the sight of many wondrous hats (gent’s bowlers,…

Here begins my tale – I’ve somehow become marooned on a desert island (actually, an archipelago) and my only hope of survival is to make or build or salvage or scrounge whatever I can. It was a dark and stormy night, etc. etc., and here I am on the beach of a lovely but desolate island, with a random assortment of crates. I fell off a container ship, along with several containers, boxes, and barrels. We were in shallow waters and struck ground, and I went over the side. Unfortunately, the crew didn’t see me or hear my screams for…

Finally, I got something figured out with Blender! After much looking around, got a clear answer from Blender Stack Exchange. How can I straighten ALL the vertical UV lines at once? Is there a hotkey short cut? Or if I have to do them one by one .. is there at shortcut for that? Thank you! Source: How do I straight UV map’s – Blender Stack Exchange The answer turned out to be both “There’s an app for that!” which didn’t work, and “do it the old school way, like a boss,” which did. The instructions are beautifully clear, concise,…
