I had an "Aha!" moment after I finished my altar yesterday, so I got back in #blender and #substancepainter. Made a ton of edge and several shelf options. I'm so glad I went back and adjusted things, it's a huge improvement!

I wanted to make a custom mesh altar for the #HerbandFable rituals, built in #Blender and painted in #SubstancePainter, still learning both programs but I'm so happy with the results!

I'm slowly getting the hang of blender. Learned any easy way to turn black and white png into 3D shapes, going to make everything 3D now. 😂

I am having so much fun with the Herb & Fable beta! I decided to make a witchy hut and area devoted to it. I have a little field for growing plants, my kitchen, and altar.

Second Life is full of freedom, creativity… and people who ask way too many personal questions.
Before you ask someone how old they are, why they don’t use voice, or where they live in real life, maybe read this first.

4 Things in Second Life That Are Absolutely None of Your Business (And Yet Here You Are, Asking Anyway)
Second Life is where we escape reality in style. But some avatars seem to forget one small but important thing: boundaries. So, here are 4 things in Second Life that are absolutely none of your business and why you should stop asking.

I had a good time in today's #StarsReach playtest, feeling I'm getting a better understanding of the different tools. Placed my first building blocks, 4 marble squares. 😂 Had fun turning the side of a mountain into a lava flow but the server shutdown as I was trying to grab a screenshot.

I've been looking to fill the Star Wars Galaxies-shaped void in my heart, and I think #StarsReach is it! The discord community is amazing!
I backed the Kickstarter, it has 10 days left and a lot of milestone rewards have been unlocked!

I got to join a #StarsReach playtest for the first time yesterday! I love the Stars Reach Discord community, it’s the first time I’ve truly felt heard by a game dev. The discussions are engaging, thoughtful, and overall great!

If you’ve been craving a game that brings back the nostalgia of Neopets and GaiaOnline, you need to check out Santae! The artwork, lore, pets, avatars, and vibrant community make it truly amazing. I’ve been playing since the Alpha launch and absolutely love it.

I got spoiled by my SL mom, she got me something that I've been meaning to buy for a while. As someone that normally wears the Reborn Waifu, the V-Tech flat chest feels so freeing. I put this outfit together specifically for her since she's a Priestess of Bastet. Love you mom! #secondlife

Visiting a new place with an established community on #Secondlife can be an isolating experience, particularly for neurdivergent folks.
Here are some tips community-members and venue staff can use to help build larger, healthier communities.

![Integrating Newcomers
to SL Hangouts
Here are some things community-members and venue-staff can do to more readily encourage new-folks to stick around, and make them feel welcomed.
Talk in Local
Encourage public-facing discussions that include the entire group.
GREET
“Hello, [name]! Welcome to [place]!
Invite
“We’re over here dancing and chatting. You’re welcome to come join us if you want!”
Wait
Give them time to look around. Don’t force interaction.
Refresh
If they join the group, fill them in on the current
topic, even if they were present for part of it.
“We were just talking about [topic].”
Ask
Directly ask their thoughts on the topic to get them
talking with the group
“What do you think, [name]?”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kl3lizfxounj2eccw2kbm56g/bafkreibzoon4d2kmsc3rxs6ssecwj5i5opxsmjhhonbi2rscg5u2oqtnbi@jpeg)

In addition to what @gravesghostly.blog posted about boundingboxsoftware.com/materialize/, which is a great app to get sttarted with for PBR in #SecondLife, I wanted to suggest www.materialmaker.org. Its free also, node-based and you can import your own model/UV if you only have a diffuse map.
