Apparently Sansar will be stormy and we will all be wearing LL branded clothes.

Ooooh, if Sansar has a good lightning system, I'm in!

Nothing to see here, move along.

Already thinking about how to best use the upcoming immersive lightning of Sansar? :smileyvery-happy:

 

btw I seriously laughed for a full minute when I read those typos lol

One of my crowning achievements, in a previous SL life, was the creation of a one-prim storm. It temp rezzed particle/sound emitters that made passable lightning and thunder and clouds.

Alas, I set it adrift at sea on a blazing raft with my previous avatar.

Dear LL spokesperson...

"performant "

NO SUCH WORD!  Stop using made up words or using words that someone else has also incorrectly made up and been passed along during sprint meetings.

Having been invested [in both time and $$] in the Blue Mars conundrum, these pictures look amazingly like NOTHING. They look to be one of any number of screens from existing gaming platform environments and/or from Blue Mars. If these were rendered using the existing new viewer for Sansar and its built in image capture capability then Well Done.

However I'm feeling like these may be more closely akin to images rendered on a production art department server and a folder titled "Sales Promotion Photos".

I'd be more impressed if I saw that image captured on screen verifying the Sansar Viewer was rendering it.

 

P.S. As for Lighting Models, the Blue Mars work and it's Lighting/Shadowing engine was incredible.

In a previous SL life my crowning achievement was the creation of a multi-dimensional Storm.  You tried to set me adrift on a blazing raft as well, but in the end you failed.  

Were you jealous or just not so sure of yourself?  Rhetorical.

Yes there is. It's French and means "performer" (when used as a substantive) or "performing" (when used as an adjective). The first recorded use of it in English dates back as far as to 1847.

In modern computer tech lingo it generally means "adequate" - that is nothing spectacular but good enough to keep.

Then well done. They clearly have approached the levels of realism I experienced in Blue Mars. Here are the pictures from the previous link:

Not in Oxford English dictionary and I know it means a performer but it remains a made up misused word now touted inappropriately in tech circles because someone somewhere thought it sounded neat.

 

I suspect the same person insured they got payed each month but wouldn't know why that was wrong either.

Which is exactly how new words or new meanings for old words come into existence.  Language is fluid.

 It's great to be held in such high esteem. I think we already guessed that we were in maintenance mode.

Although why this has to be such a Super Sekrit thing, I have no idea. The last time they wanted to keep their powder dry for a release was Viewer 2, where by the time they let alpha testers in, decisions were already made. Testing groups loved it, users hated it.

Out with it LL, don't be shy now. Two screenshots don't even count as a peck on the cheek..

Yes language is fluid but let's not resort to neologisms due to not knowing better or mimicking someone else who knows no better.

Did you know that there was no such word as "neologism" until somebody invented it.

not bad if its true....though some of those models look low res. 

lets just hope its not VR only. and that it is not laggy as heck. the problem is the whole server system needs to be overhalled.

i hope it will do well and will be a step foward and not giant steps back. We will see........wish theyd release more info. i really hate when a lot of projects are "kept secret" for a long time.  I support open development and i wish they would be more forthcoming about the new system. I guess "in time".
