What's that 3D viewer?

[Zahara Nayar]

Hello I saw some Sl snapshots at Marketplace, they seem different than ever. More realistic and something like 3D. Who knows whats it? I heard about a new viewer will come, does anybody knows about it? :)

Hi, if if was a regular 2D photo that looked "more 3D", I will guess that it was taken with the mesh project viewer, or a TPV with some of the same features switched on like the Kirsten viewer. If the card supports them, there are more shadow and light projection options, plus a new depth of field option that can make "out of focus" objects look softer like with a real camera.

Actually what I mean is different but I was not knowing the things you write about ty so so much

 

I was meaning: For example these snaps are so different. Do you have an idea?

Ohhhhh those. They look so good because they were not rendered in SL.

The SL bits were photoshopped into 3d background images.

The images appear to have been made in Poser, or in another program that is capable of raytracing (Povray, Movray).
Sculpties and Mesh are created in external programs, like Blender. The result can be viewed in a special raytracing program. That program, that can also import most of SL's creations like clothing and avatar shape, uses a completely different technique to create an image.
That technique is very slow even on high end machines.

Ah I see, it seems a hard thing. Let my snaps stay as they are lol.

Ty all so much
