    As for defaults -- I found that if you right-click on the slider bars it resets them to . . . um, something. Default, maybe?

    @RaeLeeH - Scylla is on to it but here's a slight correction: 

    Right-click -> back to previous held value

    CTRL +  right-click -> back to default

    Works on most sliders/spinners except those who have [default] next to them, where a click on that does the trick.

    I haven't tried projectors or point lights in BD yet. Guess that's up next!

    Just as fun and useful as in all the other viewers :)

    I totally depend on them, especially when doing studioshots and as fill lights on location... 3 of them in use in this, to get details in the dress to pop and as general fill/highlights:

    Here, here, here, here, there, there, here, here, there, here and there, over there, there and there, you can follow the lines across the entire snapshot and thats just one of tiling spots

    Thank you - since I always take my pics in the same resolution, I now know where to start looking!  And also where to avoid placing hard-to-photoshop details when composing the shot! I made a template with a 1920x1001 in PS, so I and my poor eyesight can find the tiling :

    Or I could use BD of course ;) !

    Thank you for your assistance!

    It happens regardless of Ambient Occlusion and regardless of whether you can spot it or not as long as your snapshot is taken in resolutions even a single pixel higher than your current Viewer render resolution.

    Luckily this very rarely shows in most of my pics - I take all my pics at 5000x2607 with all the bells & whistes activated - Ambient Occlusion included. My viewer render resolution is at 1920x1001 so I should be experiencing that tiling all the time... But I have only been able to see it 2-3 times when I use a specific windlight... I use glasses, so it might be that I do not have the eyesight to see them :D

    So here's todays challenge - show me the tiling on this unedited, straight from FS image so I know where to look in the future :):

    What’s The Story Behind Your Avatar Name?

    in Your Avatar

    Posted · Edited by Angelina String

    Well, I'm quite sure that I'm going for a new first name at least, Taya String sounds good, doesn't it :P

    Change of last name depends on what there is to choose from, but Taya will be my official first name as soon as possible!

    but I am a little concerned if canceling my premium affects the name change

    And from what I have heard and read,  as LittleMe told you it earlier - The name you buy stays if you cancel your premium! Can not find the source here and now, but this was answered and verified by a Linden.

    🤔

    Technically still NOT clipping through the body - what you see there is hair clipping through a mesh jacket ;)

    I have spent hours running around naked, and I could not make my braid even touch my back for a tiny tickle  - with clothes on, completly different story :P

    You don't have to choose between Projectors or Sun shadows, you never had to

    First of all - thank you for making this fantastic viewer!

    Then - please please accept my sincere apologies for misunderstanding the shadow thing!!! I now love the BD more than ever!

    !) I don't like that you can only map a single control to turning, though. So it's either A and D *or* left/right arrows keys, but not both. Ugh.

    Fixed in two steps:

    controls.thumb.png.5c90a22b9d63739d8b03dd9f7ba29d2a.png

    1. Make sure letter keys are ticked off to "Move Me"

    Then

    keybindings.thumb.png.bcbf4de35937935fb11e37bf95f8a445.png

    2: Use "Add" in "Keybindings" to bind function "turn_right" "turn_left" to A etc...

    This is done independently for First Person, Third Person, Editing, Apperarence and Sitting so you can assign keys to different depending on what you are doing.

    EDIT: Well, the cat is out of the bag, it is now official - I do not know the difference between right and left (I have always believed that it was the difference between right and WRONG I had difficulties with but no...)

    Have had it for like a week or so - fun, but as mentioned above, a bit limited since you are stuck with a specific preloaded AO while wearing it... So, this one is for special occations only!

    Someone (me :D) insisted that I posted a picture trying to look somewhat normal, not the total lunatic (that I am...)

    I guess NiranV, the dev ( seen him in forums here ), has a myriad of reasons for the why, but I agree : the learning curve is steep.

    If he can come up with a rational reason for doing this, I would be very interested to hear it - it kind of ruins the realism to have to choose between shadow from the sun OR shadows from projectors when taking a photo - I want both! Which is not a problem to do in FS or other viewers, so WHYYY? If its because of some programming issues where he have to leave this out to have some other function included, it would be interesting to know... But as he says, it is his viewer, and ifhe choose not to include it because he does not see the use for it or it takes down other functions he need more, thats his priviledge! I still love it, and now I'm going to start it just to watch the opening movie and listen to the music :D

    (or perhaps I just listen to it on YT ;) )

    Added hastily posed and quick taken photo to show that it is VERY easy to take lousy pics with even the best tools!

    (Damn. I really do have to try Black Dragon . . . *sigh*)

    I have a real love/hate relationship with Black Dragon. I LOVE the introvideo and especially the intromusic - I spend minutes longer on logging in just beacuse of that...

    I hate the default key layout for controlling the avatar and for controlling the camera - had to spend major time and do some minor hacking to get it to my liking.

    Love the machinima-panel, and the ability to add lensflare and vignetting directly when taking a picture. Love the DoF control and the realistic DoF Settings, but hate that you have to choose between shadows from the sun/moon OR projectors (WHYYY?). Love that you can have motionblur and take BW pics, but hate that there is no Favourite Attachments or built in AO.

    AND the Poser!! A level of control that nothing else can give you, and you can save the poses for later use - but no one exept you can see your pose, so it is useable for photos only...

    But when you get all settings right - the quality of the rendering is absolutely superb! And it is well worth taking the time to get over that initial (huge, i know) struggle to learn how things work, the possibilities that lies before you is well worth it!!!
