I am very ignorant - I was talking to Krystalkid last night and he was telling me about Arcadia Asylum of SL and her Opensource freebies. I had seen them around in Sl but never knew the story behind them. I was wondering if there was a place here in Osgrid that all her freebies that have made it out of SL have been collected to? Or maybe some one would like to form such a collection. I would if I had a permanent sim, but I dont.

You would really need to get permission from Arcadia Asylum to export them from SL, otherwise you are potentially breaking the Secondlife terms of service. Technically they would need to be the person who transfers them out.

Arcadia Asylum is registered on OSGrid, you can look her up inworld and ask about her stuff directly.

Merc, I had the great pleasure of a visit to one of my SIMs from Arcadia herself yesterday and the chance for a chat. You may want to head to "African Slum", one of Arcadia's SIMs in OSGrid where you can see examples of her work.

If you use the map to tp to African Slums, add 20 or 30m to the elevation before tp'ing...

Also, some of the stuff there appears to be made from mesh... or my rez of the sculpties is hung. So, a mesh capable viewer might be handy for your visit.

Hi folks:)

All my old and news freebies will be avaible on African Slum sim, just several serious health issues stoped my in my works last weeks, just when I started to set them in vendors in my freebies warehouse. It take time to import from other grids, to correct lot of broken items I got here around OSG ( all items from me avaible on SL are here around OSG, but a lot are broken/modified/uncomplete) and to create news... and all I have for rebuilding some old stuff here are originals textures on a HD. Only a 10% I can import are actualy builded inworld as long as they are allways with me as builder on sl, and export-import suck a lot, in ad.
Actualy, the old ones, you can get them in the Pawn Shop are correct copies, that means I fixed some changes some other ppl did along the time on my original objects, as for exemple the Sissi Truck (roof uncomplete on OSG), the Cargos Ship ( a rear part was lost on OSG). But the biguest chalange stay to replace all the non working scripts inside by news, working on OSG.
A pretty big work for a alone poor old sick mouse I'm...

Well, to wait on updates, take a tour in the sewers, to try to localise the Phillip Linden jail cell:) Entry is a manhole close to the arrival area.

About Mesh^^^, Imprudence viewer work fine to see them correctly (for me it is inded).

I have to import here to a full garden center with the best flexi and one prim plants & trees & landscape I have under an alt on sl. More work, but actualy I'm just stucked in an hospital bed, and I don't know for how much time.

Regards and have fun, and allways try to Keep It Simple here ! OSG need new grims, go on all... a single cube well textured worth a 300 prims build with poor textures!

Arc, Just wanted to say sorry you have had a set back with a stay in the hospital. I have found that most of the avatars living in OSGRID are very patient, so you take your time to get better. And a personal thanks for contributing your builds to OSGRID. I am sure that everyone will find your works an inspiration to create things themselves. Wishing you the best...and looking forward to your full recovery.

Yes best wishes to get better soon and your so right about the texturing! People can adapt existing textures or create their own. Gimp is free to download and there are so many ready made brushes out there to add detailed effects.
Thank you for making your home in OSG with us...Sarah

My prayers and my well wishes go out to you. Get better soon!

Ty all for your wishes:) Actualy I'm figting with death, I got and ned to get a lot hard surgeries, tought they will get me some life bonus, to be able to lag a little more all grids... Last year I was in a private hospital, so it was easy to have all internet access facilities but now I'm in a Universitary public hospital, so it become not so easy; if I use the wifi they provide to us for coming on grid, just it take all bandwith and nobody else is able to connect internet in the hospital... I asked and paid to have a private connection, but it seams technicaly not so simple.

About brushes& you mentioned Sarah, when I'm not in coma I use the time to cutout all pics I have about my own grafities I did from 40 years on all world cities walls... yes before lagging grid I was a cities walls polluter... lol, when done, I will upload them all to make them usable for all, probabely on Dedviantart, where you can find about thousand of my brushes, but never under Arc name:) A lot in the Urban Grunge, Rusted, Decay, Trash & groups are mine. All free of rights and easy to use in Gimp, PS or Blender.

Another project I had was to make here a blog with all my brushes and tutorial about how to apply... yes I will if God let me time...

Regards
Arc
