You want me to set you up with Cinn?

Well . . . do you have any prior experience as a "business manager"?

Also, I want 15%.

experience, yes

success at it, not so much.

So does that mean you will cover 15% of the losses?

You probably know this, but you can import PBR maps as "local" files, just as you can Blinn-Phong ones. Then when you adjust the map in whatever software you're using, it will update in-world. The catch is that only you would be able to see it.

I'm not sure I understand what you did here. This is a picture of a picture, mounted on a prim with PBR maps?

Thanks!!! I have worked with local files before, but I end up saving new copies of things, instead of updating. I always end up with a mess, where I can't remember which ones  are local files LOL!!! 

The pic I posted isn't a material on a prim.. It's just a pic with a fotosketcher filter. I ran it through Adobe Substance Sampler afterwards to create the various maps for the material. Then I combined them into a gltf, and uploaded it as a material. Then I put it on a prim. I didn't have time to take a pic of it, but I have to go back to Substance Sampler to readjust paramaters. I want the surface rougher.

TPing to random spots today, ended up in Hell before logging off. Barely noticed that Firestorm added the dutch angle buttons within the camera controls at the last second. LOL... used them to compose my angle, then grabbed this shot. I was running the latest FS alpha, not sure if those buttons are in the 'stable' PBR release.

Checking out the changes to Welcome Island.

They've added new exhibits, this one has a yavascript pod, which moves around.  A bit too small for a regular sized avatar, so I wore one of my pixie avatars. Look a volcano!

This is an older exhibit, but it too has a place for me to lounge around in.

A new exhibit, where you can squish slimes.  I got the high score 🏆

Linden has added go carts to the welcome hub city, I had fun running into the tires and watching them bounce all over the place, there are also ducks that you need to avoid.

RIP little duck, I just walked to pet him, and he fell over.. poor thing. 😭

I tested a much rougher "combined normals" version  (that WAS a bit difficult combining normals in photoshop) of the pic I took yesterday. These ARE both on prims. I could see a use for the rougher one, but definitely NOT to hang in a gallery, unless a pic needs to be on a VERY rough surface. The first is what I had made yesterday. The second is a result of today's experiments. If I want some light scratches, the normals DEFINITELY need toning down. A LOT!!! They are both PBR materials on the prims. These are raw pics btw.

I got that with older non PBR versions too. Many times. Especially if I forgot to turn my VPN off.

I have to change my avatar weekly... it's not vanity, it's curiosity... I always think: what if I put a little bit of this, and a few more points there... is it just me?

Add a few wrinkles, and it's Walter White!! 🙂

Not every week, but my avatar is never finished. I might be happy now, but eventually something will start to bug me, then I fix it and continue till the next thing. Maybe fixing it isn’t the right word. I recently went from having 20/20 vision to needing glasses.
