It's improved ever since, and the new 3.2, with the FUI (no sidebar to slide out, position the buttons where you want), is a completely different beast from the V2.1 or so that people tried, hated and gave up on.

no sidebar wow when i get some time i'll give V3 a try in every version of V2 i tried the sidebar was the single worst thing about the whole viewer i just couldn't get used to it no matter how much time i spent on V2

I really hated all the LL V2's viewers (because of sidebars).....but i'm prepared to try Viewer 3. I'm really looking for a Viewer that provides reasonable-good FPS and not a drain on CPU (I have 4 Gb)

How's this for decent FPS in viewer3:

That's the lower end of what I tend to get now.

Cool Viewer..is awesome, very stable no crashes so far, i'm getting much better FPS than my previous viewers,  it still has the beloved v1. viewer's UI and can view Mesh no problem. :matte-motes-inlove:

[Rene Erlanger]

That's pretty impressive...i'll also give V3 a try..

i'm really happy with this Cool Viewer i downloaded today, performance is much better than the viewers i was using before. If V3 matches or betters it...i'll be a convert.

Try with the Starlight skins.   And Hitomi has now started doing skins you can colour yourself, while the viewer is running.

Compare that with what I get, 5 to 10FPS max, screen shots included.

Anymore, the way things are going at the present, you just have to find what works best for you. 

I have always been and still am of the school, "Your World, Your Choice Of Viewers."

Personally I prefer the Firestorm interface, but if I want to see mesh and not feel like I've taken a direct hit from a lag bomb, I have to use Phoenix 6.  And even then it's pretty damn slow.

Hi, not all TPV's are listed in the LL directory.. Where can I get a complete list...

Chalice Yao maintains a list of TPVs over at SLU.

Currently Firestorm. I was a dedicated Emerald user, strugged with V2 when it frst came out, then Phoenix, and finally switched to Firestorm about 3 months ago, though there was a short while I was temporarily running SL on a crappy laptop and the only thing I could use was a 1.19-based version of Cool Viewer.

Now I've got used to the new interface, and Firestorm has cured pretty much everything i hated about V2, I find it hard to switch back.

I actually miss the sidebar. A lot of what SL shoehorned into the sidebar worked terribly, but a few things actually worked out well as docked sidebar items and I wish LL had given us the ability to create an optional and customizable sidebar made up of items we chose to dock to it.

Thanks. I have to check that out

My Favorite viewer woud have to be Exodus and its UI. Less Laggy than anyother I tried.

[Tamara Artis]

My fav viewer is Niran's; I can set stuff the way I want, camera movement is amazing and I love the glow! Only thing I didn't like it was lag when I opened my friends list, but that made me clean it and its all fine now:)
