Shania Adder Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Anyone know a viewer that will be compatible with the update coming up, and that don't require a monster gaming pc?I can't run firestorm or the mesh viewer as they are too demanding on system...even at lowest settings i get choppy graphics at merely one meter away.

Syo Emerald Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 You don't need a "monster gaming PC" but running a graphicintense 3D world on an office PC was always a bad idea. You could try any V1 based third party viewer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadeclaw Denfu Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 One of the fast mesh capable Viewers is Singularityhttps://sites.google.com/site/singularityviewer/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony474849 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Well, you give absolutely no deails about your computer, however I run Firestorm on a 4 year old business class laptop with no problem. A monster machine, you don't need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Hexem Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Oh, a post on the forums about an SL user trying to use SL on a computer grossly out of date and/or totally inadequate for 3D applications. This is my shocked face. Protip: SL isn't that intense. If your computer can't handle a modern viewer on semi decent settings, it's time to upgrade. My microwave is probably more advanced than that junk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A recent post there discusses progress on Server-Side Baking in several third-party viewers. She mentions Cool VL (perhaps the least hardware-demanding, by reputation), Singularity, and Radegast as having experimental builds now, Exodus starting the merge, and a problem uncovered by Niran's viewer. She also speculates that an extension is likely to the original eight-week "grace period" once the avatar baking code is fully functional server-side across the grid. So anyway, we're at least two months away from the point where viewer-side baking will break, and by then most any TPV worth using should have the goods.

Qie Niangao Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Heh. I just picked up an update for Lumiya and it claims to already support Server-Side Baking. And Mesh (although rigged mesh may be a little funky, or at least it appears to move strangely for me). And it actually runs quite smoothly on my two year old Android phone. It's not exactly a substitute for a desktop SL viewer, but for what it is, it's amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My microwave is probably more advanced than that junk. Yeah, that's really helpfu. The OP asks for advice on what viewer is optimal for their machine, and her you come with the usual "You should feel like **bleep** for running a machine that's not as good as mine" non-advice.Just don't post. I mean that. Okay, you have a brand new state of the art compter with specs that make you **bleep** nightly. Good for you. Let's all golf clap. OP, you can take advice like this which will cost you half a grand, or you can read a post like this http://community.secondlife.com/t5/General-Discussion-Forum/sl-for-slower-computers/td-p/1839263 Such a post won't help forever, but it at least answers your question instead of belittling you by saying that a computer that you haven't even posted the specs of is junk by a person who worships themselves because they spent some money. *edit: that bleep was a perfectly accepted word that means "pleasure oneself by touching his/her own genitalia."

Qie Niangao Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Not sure I was so helpful after all: I now realize that the eight-week deadline that Inara mentioned might be extended was actually starting from December 15th when the Lab announced its plans for server-side baking. Now, things haven't gone quite according to plan, so Inara may be right that the February 15th drop-dead date may move -- but probably not by another whole eight-week interval. So, yeah, it's good to be getting ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
