In 2017, Hurricane Maria, a category-5 storm, severely impacted Puerto Rico, demolishing homes and communication infrastructure. To address this issue, the ClusterDuck Protocol (CDP) was developed in 2018. It utilizes battery-powered Internet-of-Things devices to reestablish essential communication during emergencies, allowing civilians to request assistance, share their locations, and receive vital information from local governments and responders.
The ClusterDuck Protocol runs on a variety of IoT hardware, including many ESP32 Arduinos.
Here is a list of hardware we use, though there may be many others that work. We recommend the Heltec LoRa ESP32 and the TTGO T-Beam ESP32.
For a simple network you will want to make at least two Ducks. For bigger networks you will need more.
To start developing, you will need PlatformIO on your computer.
Download or git clone the CDP library from GitHub.

Please Note: With the Release of the ClusterDuck Protocol Version 4 we have different instructions. If you are looking for older instructions please go here

Follow the these updates instructions for loading up a Duck to get one running.

The phrase "Transparent Dress" might trigger mental images of 90s nostalgia or red carpet mishaps. But in Studio Belarus’s hands, this is a technical flex.
From the PREV 3 assets, we can see this isn't just see-through mesh. It appears to be:
Hot Take: This dress challenges the viewer to consider ownership. You can’t buy it in a store, but you can license the file to dress your digital avatar. That is the future.
First, let's decode the signature. SS Belarus Studio is not your typical fashion house in Milan or Paris. This is a rising name in the digital couture and 3D asset creation space—likely operating out of Minsk or via the vibrant Eastern European CGI community.

What sets them apart?
Some search queries containing "transparent dress," "PREV," and "HOT" may lead to deepfake, leaked personal content, or underage material. If you encounter such content, do not share it. Report it to the platform and, if necessary, to the Cyber Tipline (in the US) or local authorities. Artistic nudity or transparency is protected speech in many countries, but non-consensual intimate images are a crime.
Belarus is often called "Europe's last dictatorship," but its fashion photography scene thrives in a gray zone. Because mainstream media is controlled, many young artists turn to online portfolios and independent platforms like VK (Russia’s Facebook), Telegram, and OnlyFans (for adult-oriented work) to share their art. This has led to a distinctive post-Soviet aesthetic: melancholic, raw, and often sexually frank without being pornographic. The phrase "Transparent Dress" might trigger mental images
Studios like SS Belarus Studio Vika occupy a space between fashion editorial and art erotica. Their "transparent dress" series, if genuine, would likely be tagged with terms like #avantgarde, #fashionfilm, or #conceptualphotography — not "-HOT" spam.
Transparent clothing has a long history in fashion, from the see-through shifts of the 1960s (Rudi Gernreich) to the mesh tops of the 1990s (Jean Paul Gaultier) and the PVC dresses of contemporary avant-garde designers like Iris van Herpen. In Belarusian studios like Vika's, transparency often serves three purposes:
Important: Any content that sexualizes minors, lacks model consent, or involves non-consensual distribution is illegal and unethical. Reputable Belarusian studios post model releases and age verification (models are typically 18+). If you encounter content labeled "SS Belarus Studio Vika" that violates these rules, it is likely a pirated or misattributed leak. Hot Take: This dress challenges the viewer to
The tag "PREV 3" is essential. In 3D design, "PREV" stands for Preview or Previsualization. The number indicates iteration.
Why "PREV 3" is going viral: The studio reportedly fixed a major clipping issue from PREV 2. The dress now reacts to Vika’s movement with realistic inertia—when she turns, the transparent material lags just a few frames behind, creating a ghosting effect that users are calling "hauntingly beautiful."
