Istelathis Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Boop! I'm trying out the official SL viewer, and getting a million messages from my groups now 🤣 Loving mah little companion though, so cute! 🥰 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innula Zenovka Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 (edited) I really would suggest checking out the Winter Wonderland regions with the latest Official Viewer and World>Environment>Use Local Lighting enabled, to get an idea of what you can do with PBR.

Istelathis Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 (edited) Stopping in Winter Wonderland to appreciate the scenery I wish I had eyes that reflected the scenery, because it is gorgeous. It's looking pretty good right now 😍🤗 A perfect place for my pixie avatar to fly around. I'm enjoying the official viewer a lot, it is pretty zippy and I like all of the pretty lights.

I had a screenshot that was mistaken for a RL photo and got into a "prestigious" group that I knew nothing about. It was both fun and thrilling. It was NOT my sim and I think it is gone now. Putting in the LINK for anyone that wants to see as I am not going to crop it to get my signature off. https://www.flickr.com/photos/24257589@N03/52571565602/in/dateposted/ Those ARE great rocks. Who made them (or maybe they are a mix). 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Istelathis Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 (edited) Having fun with reflections while trying to figure out how PBR works For some reason taking a screenshot inside of the viewer, will not save the reflection. I had to capture the screenshot using prt scr. Don't mind the skates, I'm on a mission to get 400 snowflakes, and just wanted to goof with PBR briefly.

If so, which? We're all (ok, most of us) Linden and Mole fans here! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Istelathis Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Still goofing around with mirrors Screenshot does not work with reflecting my avatar or attachments. I really like this one, it is my favorite. Now to go outside, touch some grass, do some chores, then back to SL to collect another 100 snowflakes 🤗 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Istelathis Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Just now, Love Zhaoying said: I noticed the mirror object is "thick", does this affect the mirror feature? I don't think it does, I was playing around with it last night and it did not appear to when I changed the thickness. A lot of it is camera angle, that picture was taken from above so it did not reflect the castle or the trees. Strangely, for the pictures I took of my avatar in the other post, I had to angle my camera really close to the mirror almost as though I were looking at the mirror from a side perspective instead of directly in front of me as you normally would a mirror. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Istelathis Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 (edited) Now I am trying to get reflections in my eye I got my eye on my present! No one better touch it! I've got to figure out how to get the texture right. I'll get it eventually. Enough reflections for now, I don't want to spend all of my Second Life staring into reflections, for now I'm off to collect snowflakes Edited December 6, 2023 by Istelathis 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leora Greenwood Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 (edited) My SL is looking very crowded right now as I am touring and photographing the demo region for the new Mediterranean theme. The poor little Christmas reindeer only rezzing from time to time and poor Tiggie seems quite splurchy too. I will find some less-trafficked region to give them a rest. Much better in the bottom pic.

I was having the same problem in Firestorm with my reindeer. He would turn into that triangular shape, it was weird and I would have to keep reattaching him. I've been using the official SL viewer and haven't experienced the problem since though. I wonder what is causing it? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sid Nagy Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 (edited) I went to see the Winter Ice Christmas Fest. Very nicely build sim, that puts you right in the Christmas spirit. I Made a ride with Santa in his sleigh. That was really cool. And a first. Edited December 7, 2023 by Sid Nagy 10 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Istelathis Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 (edited) At the moment, I'm just hanging around my Bellisseria home, listening to my boopsies make weird noises I'm also trying different outfits I have for my Senra avatar. I'm still using the older models I was fighting zombies, but couldn't really get into it today, I suppose I am more so in a Christmas frame of mind. I've been all over SL today, checking out the new themes, exploring some destination, I think I will go hit up some stores next to find a new outfit. I'll probably explore the newer models later on, and make sure to create a back up of the older models for all of the outfits I bought and shapes I made for the beta avatars. I might just stay in and watch a few movies though. Edited December 8, 2023 by Istelathis 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
