Object glow problem

[Silver Visage]

Good day,

First of all I am using the latest Phoenix Viewer. I recently noticed that when I rez an object, let's say I rezz a box and I want to add glow to it, it doesn't glow anymore, even if my graphics settings are on high. It's quite odd because it worked before. I was just wondering if perhaps I pressed something and accidentally disabled the glow function of the viewer. My question is, what could have cause this, and how could I fix it? And also how can I activate the hardware skinning in the phoenix viewer because i keep getting and error saying  that although my graphics card is capable of it, the hardware skinning is disabled.

Thank you in advance,

Silver...

I don't use Phoenix, I would guess that it is in Preferences, a link with information that may help.

See https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-26435 , which was repaired for V3, but which still affects previous viewers. Also check to see that you have Basic Shaders enabled in Preferences >> Graphics .  If you don't have Basic Shaders enabled, glow will not work.

I am not sure if someone re-opened recently a jira. You can do that reporting the bug there.
