kiramanell Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 5 hours ago, Orwar said: It's not that 'we' don't know how to make reflections, it's an issue of how things are rendered in SL. Back in the early 2000's, many computer games had reflective mirrors in them. The issue is that SL is rendered from what is in front of your camera view. If you look into a mirror, you're looking into a space which is not rendered. In a game where assets and textures are pre-loaded and cached from area to area (i.e. games with 'cells' separated by loading screens), this works pretty well - in a world where you couldn't possibly cache all assets and textures, and instead render based on what the client is looking at, this becomes a lot more difficult. When I've done it (I can't say 'usually' as I've done like 3 photos using the technique), I've just free-handed it. I don't know how many times I've posted this picture in this thread (I should make a new one!) but this was done using that setup, with a one-way transparent wall and eyeballing the mirrored shot. Theoretically (I think) you could also make two prims to represent the cameras and position them using the grid to match them ... Again, though, I'm script blind: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlSetCameraParams That's a very interesting concept! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhonda Huntress Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 All of me (Almost) Me and two of my alts. Left to right, Jo Bergan, Rhonda Huntress and Maybie Nightfire. This was dropped in place in a hurry. I may revisit the idea later with a nice setting and add in my male alt somewhere. 21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll edit this with pic to better illustrate in a sec... Ooo, just now saw the images you added! Thanks! 💎 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Laskya is probably capable. Oops, missed this one. 😳 Actually, I think your Scylla main definitely looks elegant too (leaning against that desk and all). But maybe 'refined' was a better term. And, of course, simply attractive. Really an excellent example of style and beauty. I bet it took you days to tweak it. Anyway, I really loved that shot, no ifs and butts. 🥰 (pun intended). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelindaN Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 8 hours ago, Scylla Rhiadra said: Yeah, I think not. One is more than enough to handle, and Laskya more so than most. And one thing I definitely don't need to double is double or triple my shopping! Mind you, I do have one alt in mothballs -- Richard Parkes, Gorean Master and Manly Man about Town. It would be amusing one day to resuscitate him . . . Get the electrodes out and resuscitate. We need to see Richard. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wearing a male avi, LOL, that would feel a mite.. different. I remember visiting a sim once, where many women were trying on male avi's, for lolz. It was hilarious, actually, an entire group of 'males' belching an burping, scratching their... you know, pretending to be men. 😛 Although I wouldn't mind seeing Scylla male avi. We might be in for a treat! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhonda Huntress Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Re-do of the earlier pic, this time including Joseph. It's not as laggy as you would think with 4 viewers running at once but my GPU fan was screaming at me This is my alt squad. All mesh. I may have a problem .... 25 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for wanting a smoke, hhhm, not sure what's in your cigarette exactly, but the smoke appears to going down, LOL. That spells trouble. 😃 So, maybe I'll politely pass, this time. *g* 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybie is adorable. You are, of course, you -- lovely as always. And Joseph . . . hmmm. You're sure he's an alt of yours?
