If it’s one thing I’ve learned in my 17+ years in Second Life, everything changes. Sometimes small things, sometimes HUGE. Mesh was one; it completely revolutionized both your avatar and everything around you. Now it’s PBR. I’m still struggling with lighting, and I crash ALL THE TIME. I TP home, dare to turn around, and BUGSPLAT. I do my weekend shopping, and by the 3rd or 4th TP, BUGSPLAT. It will take adjustment certainly, both in Firestorm tweaking the viewer to make it more stable, tweaking my computer to make it better able to handle the increased load, and then the learning curve for doing photoshoots. But I can already see how it’s worth it. First off, it’s always bothered me that mirrors didn’t reflect… now they do! I haven’t seen too many other PBR textures yet (that I’ve known about anyway), but Frogmore has just updated itself to be fully PBR… that means PBR terrain, windlight, all of it. And all I can say is WOW! It’s so impressive, the difference in textures and shadows, etc. really does create a more realistic environment. We’re not yet at the level of quality video games, but we’re getting there! Enjoy!
- Dress: Carol’s Store – Cynthia Dress. What better way to explore a SIM than in something lightweight & airy, with so many stylish details! I love the high halter neckline & the straps in the back (no idea what that style is called, but I LOVE it & tried mightily to find a pose that showcased both front & back without standing in front of a mirror). Add the seersucker-look fabric with open floral lace on the straps & at the waist, & this is top-quality summer look! Choose from 10 single colors or as a fatpack, where the HUD now includes the ability to easily tint the dress, so you have even MORE colors to play with! ORIGINAL MESH with materials enabled, Cynthia is sized for Reborn+Waifu, Legacy+Perky+Bombshell, GenX (Classic & Curvy), Lara+LaraX+PetiteX, Kupra, Khara, Erika, & Love Momma. EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE at the current round of Cosmopolitan, through July 20th. Demo available.
