Tutti i Frutti

The new Safari season began on January 1, with a fabulous visit to Bloom Peter's Frutti Music Bar, now the main arrival point on Winxtropia grid. The Winxtropia gang were there to meet us, of course! Gorgeous Boujee, Farstar, Arielle, Ghost, YumYum, made a point of being there to be part of the event - much appreciated! The sim, even with nobody on it, feels like the most bustling bar resort in all of Opensim, as you'll soon see... HG Address is as always at the end of the post.
The first thing you notice at the landing point is the busy road with cars and vans rushing by, and pedestrians and joggers too, ad the Safari crowd arrived, and gradually rezzed, their clothes and colors gradually showing up.
Thirza Ember: watch out for the traffic that road is dangerous!
Farstar Enoch: yerrr careful if u crossing the road
Boujee GamerGirl: this is awesome
Forest Azure: lol, of course james needs to try it - daredevil
James Atlloud: Yes!
Dings Digital : oh nice, urban area next to a beach
Tosha Tyran: like barcelona :)
Bloom Peters: Tosha i love your avatar! ... lol the waitresses are going to go nuts lmao
Farstar Enoch: yes, they are busy cleaning etc, i was talking to them earlier, they are excited !
 Thirza Ember: they make a lot of trash here...
Bloom's latest avatar, so cute
 lifted pixel: BLOOM i'm in love with your new avatar...  GASP!!!!
Bloom Peters: I would like to welcome everyone here to the Frutti Music Bar!  ty thirza for making this happen. The Bar was created in honor of my favorite tv cartoon series The Winx Club. But it has some Innovations  as well. As you already can see there is alot of ai stuff happening
Bloom Peters: I wanted to see how far i can push ai automation (Semi AI) in opensim over to my right is a example character rig that explains the waitresses and how they work... this girl here with the prims around her, and ill explain is a simply as possible, the orange cone in front of her eyes is you guessed it = her eyes... she can kinda see
James Atlloud: wow
Bloom Peters: KINDA... you see its more of a sensor,  that looks for objects in the sim to divert / use / interact with. All of the girls and waitresses have a hard locked determined path, but that path collides with objects that the orange cone sees - trash cans, tables, food, tons of stuff they can interact with, and of course even you! 
lifted pixel: how does she know the difference between me and trash? lol
Farstar Enoch: yes hard to tell but she is smart
Dings Digital : sounds like a metaphor for life :)
lifted pixel: super cool!
Bloom Peters: The big yellow circle is her VolumeDetect, when an avatar us are inside that yellow circle, she will turn to face is in 8 possible points the blue balls and talk. Also notice the smaller RED circle around her body... it is currently disabled, it keeps her from running into avatars or people or objects, she goes around it like a roomba vac
Lavia Lavine: Kind of like a bumper
Bloom Peters: exactly. She has the ability to say up to 200 phrases
Thirza Ember: wow that's more than many people in rl that I know
Bloom Peters: she can also remember people by name, she will remember everyone who came here... 
Dings Digital : better behave
Bloom Peters: ... and once in a while, will say hello Thirza! or whoever she collides with... she is equipped with a Behavior system, she knows who nice and who bad haha, she can detect all offensive languages
Dabici Straulino: haha
Dings Digital : maybe we are bad company :)
Bloom Peters: however all those functions would be too big for her... too many scripts, so that's handled by other prims in the server room in this sim. 1 engine controls ALL of the people here
Lavia Lavine: so she is essentially remote controlled?
Bloom Peters: yes, she has a self walking script,  but the main engine controls the rest
Dings Digital: like the self driving cars 
Bloom Peters: like remembering people names and things
lifted pixel: do they do everything automatically? can you put them on a set path? or do they all have the ability to take orders, etc and figure out if there's more than one patron and more than one waitress?
Bloom Peters: they are fully automatic but its best to keep them hardlocked to a task. Waitresses will detect if you or someone sits on a waitress marked table
Lavia Lavine: Can't have them running around willy nilly
 lifted pixel: are we going to get to order food? :3c
 Bloom Peters: absolutely we can go in now... welcome to the coolest dining experience ever i hope :P... feel free to break it !
bargirlorder1: Hi welcome to the Frutti Music Bar. Would you like some food? Reply with 'yes' or 'no'. In Local Chat
Karsten Runningbear: yes
Francisco Koolhoven: yes
bargirlorder1: Ok I will be right back with your food, Please Hold.
prim2-mesh#1: Here is your food. Click on any food item to get a sample to eat!
Bloom Peters: all food is scripted... to get service sit at a table that has a sign on the table called Waitress System
Thirza Ember: plus lots of people dancing, this place is the busiest resort in opensim!
Farstar Enoch: place is pumping 24/7
Bloom Peters: it is only when the last person stands will the cleaner come clear the table
Forest Azure: oh, avocado coffee!
James Atlloud: very tasty
Thirza Ember: all the food groups are represented here!
Bloom Peters: The idea is to make the sim feel alive as possible. Everyone has full dialog
lifted pixel: the asmr i get off this is intense
James Atlloud: It's very effective!
Thirza Ember: lifted, i am not sure you should be eating all that! won't it show as you digest it?
lifted pixel: haha yeah i basically just chop it up into pieces and some birds or whatever take care of it lol
James Atlloud: I can't help think of rl performers making the sound effects.
Bloom Peters: shouts: It is 100% to use the food that the bar gives you in personal use products and freebies none commercial
Forest Azure: /me wonders what to do with the chicken bone
Thirza Ember: the girl will come by and clear the table, forest... if you look up you'll see tv screens also, I expect they're not on today, but when there isn't a huge crowd, those play some tv show stuff, making it even more realistic
Bloom Peters: Thirza, Ghost next to you
Thirza Ember: yeah ghostie
ghost silverfall: hi lol
Ghost Silverfall
Bloom Peters: shouts: Shout out to Ghost Silverfall for helping Me? model some of the items here... Ghost Silverfall made the BAR model the tables and the pine apple stands and the BOATS on each side
Bloom Peters: without him this bar wouldn't exist, so thank you Ghost
ghost silverfall: thank you for giving me fun stuff to model haha
Thirza Ember: Bloom do you envision this system being made available to other grids in the future? like the other items you have marketed?
Bloom Peters: Thirza yes indeed: This will be a product one day
Thirza Ember: i love that without pbr this place is still super shiny
Bloom Peters: This sim has no PBR at all
Bloom Peters: For those who are ready ill show you the special room that contains the rezzers that control all tables and things...  it just over here there is a few lmao actually in each pine apple room is rezzers and things that control the tables its a bit cramped haha 9 items here keep the bar working
Bloom Peters: To say the complexity and thinking required to pull it off has shortened my lifespan by 1 year hahaha
James Atlloud: It's nice the characters don't seem to show as green dots on the mini map?
 Bloom Peters: lets go visit the boat next
Farstar Enoch: ok yaay'
Bloom Peters: due to the complexity i still have not had time to do all the tables up here, so only 1 is done,: the chef inside is showing examples still a work in progress
Bloom Peters: but she can activate almost anything inside that room the chef uses appliances
Dings Digital: there is the good stuff
lifted pixel: this is really cool stuff :D
Tosha Tyran: those service girls... one moment they talk to you all amiable - the next moment they walk right through ...
Bloom Peters: yes they have a chance to talk or not
The pirate ship restaurant has a working kitchen, complete with chef and appliances 
Lavia Lavine: wow what a menu
Bloom Peters: there is one rule i go by, when it comes to creating things.  Everything and i mean everything from a knob or a lightbulb - has to work or i wont use it its not being a perfectioniist but an innovator
Tosha Tyran: you are an innovator, Bloom
Farstar Enoch: good ethic
Bloom Peters: The bar is located on Planet Earth, Gardenia Town but the girls don't just walk and talk, they can activate hundreds of things planned and even swim! They can swim fly get on roller coasters go down slides and all sorts
Tosha Tyran: that is really amazing, Bloom
Forest Azure: aah, ty Bloom, looks great! 
Bloom Peters: lets go see an example of the same ai riding and swimming
The list of beach activities available here is so long! you cangeet a jetski or use the waterslide, you can sit on th ebeach and chat with passing animesh people, do a bit of sport or get a suntan. The cool part is that the animesh also use the water slide, and jetskis, and so on, giving the whole resort the sensation of being in a crowd even when you're the only avie there. in about 20 of us, the sim didn't feel laggy and the entertainment was literally everywhere.
James Atlloud: They don't seem to show up on the mini map or people lists. That's great.
Bloom Peters: they are all Animesh not avatars also i forgot to mention dont forget to use shared environment haha the lighting is important
Lavia Lavine: A nice golden glow
Bloom Peters: there is more coming too, much more, other side of beach will have few more attractions
lifted.pixel: the low poly npcs are really charming
Bloom Peters: low poly is the way and they ALL share just 1 texture color map
James Atlloud: wow  It definitely feels busy
Bloom Peters: But thats the basis of the bar! a fun dining relaxing experience
Farstar Enoch: workout time
Bloom Peters: farstar heating up his motors
Farstar Enoch: yes
Farstar does some serious situps!
Bloom Peters: also the sim has a cool unusual radio, one control box, speakers everywhere, local music not streamed. i can rez a speaker and the box will see it and plays music
Lavia Lavine: It's wonderful to see this kind of amazing talent in Open sim... Bloom it's positively awesome
 Francisco Koolhoven: This has been an interesting experience Bloom, nice work!
 lifted.pixel: that right there is exactly what i was talking about earlier... it's a script but it has to go in a box, might as well make the box look cool
Francisco Koolhoven: clever
 lifted pixel: and then you have the neat falloff/doppler effect
Bloom Peters: The bar is open permanently too you can come any time to see it
James Atlloud: I was just gonna ask!
Tosha Tyran: wonderful place Bloom and keep up the great work! please!
Dings Digital: Happy New Year Bloom, thank you for the great tour
Boujee GamerGirl: glad you have came
Mal Burns: fascinating place Bloom - tks
lifted pixel: thank you for making technically awesome stuff bloom :D it's always a pleasure to see what you're making
Bloom Peters: i want it to be the most scripted experience ever
James Atlloud: awesome tech
Bink Draconia: thx for showing us this awesome place. great work!
 Bloom Peters: the bar will be for sale after a bit of time has passed in my store sim i making
James Atlloud: for sale? 
Bloom Peters: yes but it wont be cheap! it is Flasgship haha
James Atlloud: ok - wow it shouldn't be cheap.
Farstar Enoch: thks for coming everyone...
Bloom Peters: take care love you all!
