Bacon_Donut has a virtual party to go to, but what is he going to wear? YOU DECIDE. We'll be giving challenge participants Sansar dollars to pick out the craziest outfit for Bacon_Donut, and Bacon will pick his favorite one to wear to the Spinnin' Records Blasterjaxx concert on Sept 26!

We're going to TwitchCon! We're packing our swimsuits and extra joysticks and Oculuses to head down to San Diego to join Streamers and fans from all over the world.

We'll have special guests, events, and giveaways all weekend and we'll be live streaming our huge in-world virtual parties!

Alright, so we've had a couple of entrants so far...

LokiEliot's faces:




And here are DaisyWinthorpe's entries:

What's new: 

• New options to control what Trigger Volumes can collide with have been added.
  • Trigger Volumes now have the option to collide with Avatars and Dynamic Bodies only. This can be a significant performance improvement when colliding against Keyframe bodies is not required.
  • Trigger Volumes that already exist in-world will retain the current behavior.
  • Behavior Change: The new default setting for trigger volumes starts as “Avatars and Dynamic Bodies” 
• Avatars should run at an equal speed again no matter the scale size. 
• Fixed several crash issues caused by:
  • Exiting the avatar editor from discarding skin or eye color changes
  • Attempting to load avatars from the first time avatar selection carousel.
  • When an avatar is selected from the lookbook after discarding changes while the face highlight is active.
  • When trying to save a new quest.
  • When completing a quest objective.
  • When verifying a new email account that is also tied to a Sansar steam account.
• Fixed issues:
  • The scroll functionality on custom avatars was broken and would only show up to a certain number of rows. You should be able to see all your custom avatars across multiple rows.
  • Avatars in VR should no longer wobble back and forth while navigating worlds. 
  • Rotating the default avatar’s eyelids should no longer affect the avatar’s blinking animation.
  • The collision capsule of crouched avatars should now shrink as expected.
  • Various avatar face animation issues should now be fixed.
  • The undo button in the avatar editor should now revert previous face preset slider settings.

🚨A new challenge appears...🚨

The Future is upon us. This challenge goes out to Sansar creators. This is your chance to have your items promoted alongside an upcoming event to celebrate the future of Sansar.

👯‍♂️Attack of the Clones Challenge!👯‍♀️

Sansar's new facial customization features allow you to literally sculpt a face onto your avatar. Let's see if we can recreate some famous faces.

Who can make the best Pow3r, Ripley, or Lando Calrissian?

The challenge runs until 9/16!

Today's word is "olfactory" which means "of or relating to the sense of smell".

That means you need to use the word olfactory to inspire your song-choice. Then, we'll listen to a bunch of songs and make a community playlist based on Olfactory!

This is gonna get weird.
