  1. I got multiple "login failed depit..." messages. I turned on my VPN. I could login but now I'm having trouble connecting to regioni. This is my day off and my good internet connection to SL. I'm ripping my hair out in bloody hunks. Is anyone else hving this miserable experience? I tried a different location for login and got in. I think parts of the grid are offline.
  2. What I suspect is that my mind usually adds what my eyes don't see. This works well for objects that move at human speed, slower, or not at all. I don't even know I'm doing it. My compensation system breaks abruptly with either fast moving objects (No I don't drive!) or a major change in terrain (I grew up in the Northeast and live in the Southeast...all of which are hilly. I had trouble judging how far away a bus was in Columbus Ohio and the flat terrain of Boca Raton Florida felt absolutely infinite. After a day or two, my brain adjusted.) My thoughts are that the reason both lamps in the SL picture look three dimensional to me is that I'm adding something to the first one, that people who see something missing in photographs don't add. The Tori Gate on the new sim, may be suffering from too much lighting. I tried it both in my personal sky and with the shared environment. My big worry with lighting in Second Life is getting stuck in the dark. I don't really worry about object reflections. That said, it might be fun to make a really richly textured wood. I did download Substance Painter.
  3. For nearly all my life, I've had no depth perception. To me Second Life has always looked as three dimensional though not as detailed as "real life." Photographs also appear three dimensional to me. Recently I read about PBR textures and how to make them, and I saw an illustration of one and may have seen another one on a new sim. Let's just say I was underwhelmed. The PBR lantern was a different color, but both it and the Bin-Phong one looked about the same. When I saw a shiney Tori gate on the new sim. It looked a bit weird, but not particularly shiney. I guess I feel disappointed. Note: I'll get the illustrations of what I saw and put them in here, when I get a chance to snap some pictures. Is it possible that I'm just going to never seen PBR the way everyone else does? As someone who "does great" with anything on a screen, I did not know PBR had accessibility issues. Does it?
  4. Mr. Amore, thanks for the advice. It worked. I'm a happy avie with a face again and my Zooby baby look like his old self.
  5. My exboyfriend with whom I'm still good friends gets out of the hospital on Valentine's Day. He will have a new cardiac stent if all goes well. He's been in the hospital eight days and counting.
