Have Fun!

I've tried to avoid using alpha textures so almost everything in there is a prim-based object except for the few system trees and some of the grasses. Right now we're testing how the hardware/software works out the way real people would use it to build prim-based stuff. But in our next sim drop, we'll be focusing more on the widespread use of textures to see how that impacts performance. At some point, I hope we can open the sim, but for right now, it has to stay a true 'walled garden'.

Our OpenSims are hosted on the IBM yellow Zone, and it's a closed research environment. Our SL islands are open to the public, though, and anyone may visit.
