  1. Apparently the latest version of BD is PBR enable - but local lighting is now on nuke level +10 . In what is a non PBR created scene, I tried all the sliders but the lighting is way to hot. Anybody have any experience with BD's latest version that knows anything about this?
  2. FS just has all the features you need and a good UI and it is stable. For self pictures especially, BD because of the poser, But then again it really depends on what you do in SL. If you just shop and listen to music the Official viewer is perfectly fine for that
  3. yes that seems to be the case which is why is would be great of there was like a slider to dial in the range. I suppose it is pretty low priority, but in some situations, particularly doing video, that would be super useful
  4. yeah i kinda figured, but it seems like the on/off state has a set distance where everything from distance x and beyond is affected. I suppose this might be a nice feature to add
  5. Does anybody know if there is a de bug setting or anyway to adjust the distance the dynamic LOD kicks in for the 'Dynamically adjust level of detail' checkbox? For instance I often need objects to stay fully rezzed say, 25 meters from the camera, but not so much the entire distance set in draw distance. Right now it is set at what seems like maybe 3-5 meters at the most. This is particularly useful when doing video - unchecking that can really reduce the FPS, but often dont need everything out to for example 180 to be rendered at full detail, just maybe like 25 meters. An example of how i encounter this all the time is when videoing a wedding and the camera is near the front of aisle by the alter and the wedding party starts walking in, often times a bouquet they are holding will "pop" in at a few meters from the camera, but not where they started their walk. So I have to uncheck this setting, but I really don't need everything 180m from the camera position to be fully rezzed, as it relates to LOD
  6. TBH if looking to update just to make SL run better, you really don't need much anything. I remember I updated my 1080 with a 3070 - no real difference other than the 3070 runs cooler sometimes. Id just put in a FPS limit in preferences to keep the 1080 from maxing out and running hot, Now if you are doing photoshop or video editing then yes it would pay to upgrade some things
  7. TBH if it wasn't for the fact you can't pan left/right up/down with cam smoothing you can do about all the smooth fly cam work with the mouse and keyboard shortcuts using some mouse smoothing and or with the arrow keys as the keyboard shortcuts you could get away without having to use a space mouse, o-box controller or other such device. A number of years ago a guy was working on a virtual fly cam using the keyboard numbers and once i got it working was great, but when i switched computers could never get it to install again
  8. this is how I keep DOF the only adjustment (firestorm viewer) i will make based on the situation and/or the amount of DOF is Foc Length. I also almost always have DOF follows pointer checked and use shift+alt+x to lock it
  9. What Henri said, use the frame limiter in preferences, And also keep the air ducts clean and make sure there is plenty of airflow
  10. There is a product called Fotoscope DuoPose(https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/THE-FOTOSCOPE-DUOPOSE-a-pose-stand-for-COUPLES-Add-your-own-poses-and-animations/383037) that is you did alot of photos with couples and in a place where rezzing is possible it was awesome. a bit of a pain to get set up for sure, but was super easy to get couples of different sizes to get lined up properly. Of course you likely still need something like a pose adjuster to move a arm or a hand individually to get it dialed in exactly. When I used to photos alot for people I used it all the time. You can of course accomplish the same thing by moving each couples pose ball but this was all menu driven. great system
  11. you are looking for screen recorder software and there are a few out there but the most widely used is OBS and it is free
  12. often people use the Space Mouse for the fly cam and the viewer has support for this built in https://3dconnexion.com/uk/spacemouse/
  13. I keep set max 512 on textures option (found in settings) also maybe find or make a decent light setting that everything looks ok still with no shadows on - I used to do that when I had a much weaker machine. Also if on FS make sure the Dynamic Draw is on in the PhotoTools panel, As far as why I suppose it is just because there is more stuff that has to be rendered
