Welcome back, Rhonda, sweetie. When you ask what top 3 things you need to know, are you referring to things about SL or things about yourself? I doubt that I need inform you of which is more important. ...Dres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then, there are those who have grown disillusioned by their SL experience and have chosen to no longer partake or at least lesson their involvement in that particular avenue of entertainment... yet, still find it enjoyable to interact with those individuals who still roam these hollowed forum halls. *waves at Maddy* If this sort of activity sends you into such palpitations, I suggest you never visit SLU, for fear of full cardiac arrest. ...Dres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake1 Nightfire Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Rhondas back!!!! /me thinks back to the old forums... "Let the flame wars begin?" Anywho.. three things huh? Demos. Try demos of everything.. if there aren't demos, skip em. unless its from my shop, i will hand you demos personally. Upgrade your house to mesh, it will save a ton of Land Impact.. BTW, Land Impact (or LI) has replaced Prim count. Don't fall into the gatcha craze.. you will end up with a whole lotta crap cluttering up your inventory just to get that ONE you want.

LaskyaClaren Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I never noticed a big change in the relative emptiness of SL when I came back. SL always seemed to me rather abandoned over long stretches, and finding a place where people actually socialize has always been a major part of my time here. The two big things I noticed are 1) an improvement in the quality of many (although not all) builds. That may be partly improved graphics though, too. 2) a HUGE improvement in clothing thanks to mesh. To the point where I've winced on the rare occasions I've gone back in-world with my older avatar, because OMG her clothing looks awful now. And welcome back, Rhonda. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canoro Philipp Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 welcome back Rhonda! mesh was implemented, many saw the benefit of mesh in everything, they could make more well shaped objects and with low lag, where they didn't like it was for clothing, for example a shirt, because it didn't stretch to the different types of bodies, because mesh was rigid. Linden Lab worked to add some points in the avatar that mesh would read and stretch itself, it called it "fitted mesh", some call it "liquid mesh", other "rigged mesh", with time, they started making parts of the avatars in mesh, like hands, feet, until they made complete mesh avatars, with their own HUDs giving them more flexibility than the avatar we were used to. there has been new special effects, like real-time shadows, depth of field, ambient occlusion, and a way for owners of land to have their own ambient settings, with a nice fade in and fade out between ambients when you go between 2 places that have different ambient settings, there's also lighting projections, an image can be projected like a cannon of light over the world. the marketplace is still around, changes have been made, before, you used to buy a box, then unpack it for the contents to be in a folder in your inventory, now you can recieve what you brought as a folder in your inventory, unpacking is not necessary, another change is that the merchants can now sell directly from their inventory. there has been speed increases, Linden Lab reduce the process between the servers and the viewers, making everything faster, it now check for updates only when its necessary, also there has been improvements on the server side. there are new functions, before, to participate in certain role play sims some would give you an HUD that you need to wear, that it would be saved in your inventory, occupying space, now they can give you a temporary HUD, it dissapears from your inventory when you leave the sim. there is also a pathfinding feature, that can tell an object to follow a certain path, to follow certain avatars, or to find, with artificial intelligence, the best way to go from one place to the other. materials are coming, they are like bump mapping and shiny, but more complex, objects using that feature wil show a more realistic texture that will behave differently to light and angle of view. Linden Lab is making a new virtual world, called Sansar, some say is Second Life 2, in part it could be, because the products are not completly separated, we would be able to export our avatars to the new world, however, since it seems it the new world will be done mostly all in mesh, many things will be incompatible to export, maybe like prims and sculpties. i hope this keeps you updated and ready to enter seamlessly into this ever changing world. welcome back Rhonda, I'm glad you are here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah ... sorry about that. I knew what would happen but .. oh well. It can be fun for a bit of amusement but it gets old quick. I'm done. I know there will be plenty of fall out to come and for that I apologize but I have no control over others. Well, some others I do I have been going through demos like crazy. At first I was not going to mess with a mesh body (anyone who might see me nude will not be the kind of people who would judge my avatar anyway. Then I tried on the Laura demo. *squeee!* I need new clothes now :smileyembarrassed: LaskyaClaren wrote:2) a HUGE improvement in clothing thanks to mesh.

And welcome back, Rhonda. :-) I have already made a folder to dump all my legacy clothes in one place. It was sad at first because I have some beautiful clothes and quite a few things given to me as gifts I was proud to have. On the other hand, I am not going to miss scalloped skirts at all!

It was included with a couple of other VR / holographic computing videos being passed around at work. I am curious if it will have stronger IP protection some how.

Laurin Sorbet Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Demure as ever, my steely eyed girl. I looked at your Marketplace, Drake, saw 26 pages and even after narrowing it down to Women's Apparel gave up. Photos are already bubbling in my mind. If you could send me a direct link that'd be great. Please and thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
