For this reason alone I would never go back to making pics without Black Dragon. That poser is just pure awesomeness Graphics look better too, and more options for shadows and stuff. Just do not try to actually walk around and do stuff using BD, it's not very good at that, but I assume its made just for photography.

Last time i checked you could walk around just fine and all basic functionality the LL Viewer offers worked too. What would make you say that?

With everything on ultra settings and set up for pictures, it tends to start to lag quite a bit when zooming out or walking around, specially in more detailed suroundings. Also slower rezzing new textures on items, probably because of the higher quality graphic settings. So in all, its not as fluent an experience as you would like for normal day to day use. That's why everyone at least I know using BD for their blogs or other pictures switch to BD for pics, and back to FS/LL mostly, for everything else. I don't mind at all, for pictures its the best thing that has happened in SL, and that's what I use your viewer for.

That's why they are called Ultra settings, they are ULTRA. I wouldn't expect a 18 year old engine to perform decently well with settings labeled "Ultra" unless they are potato graphics in reality. 7 hours ago, Zeta Vandyke said: Also slower rezzing new textures on items, probably because of the higher quality graphic settings. No, thats due to the Viewer using the free image decoding library OpenJpeg rather than the paid (and very expensive) KDU library (which is supposedly a lot faster) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time i checked you could walk around just fine and all basic functionality the LL Viewer offers worked too. What would make you say that? No, not broken. I do sort of agree with Zeta and I use viewers like many do, BD for photography and FS for most everything else and LL for testing new features. A big reason is FS' favorites and simpler Phototools. Having learned those first, I've had a challenge learning to use the camera tools in BD. The arrangement and naming is too different and that is annoying. But that is a me thing, not a viewer thing.
