I've been tinkering with the Kirsten V2 viewer lately and discovered DoF / Shadows working very well on it ... and best of all, it actually saves properly to disk! (I was used to the broken shadow clients of the 1.23 era). Anyways, I took some time taking snaps w/ the goal of capturing avatars in their most natural state ... I wanted to see how realistic the photos can get in the SL. After a few days of observing and playing paparazzi, I came to two personal conclusions: 1) The level of diversity among avatars (even just in Human form) is simply incredible, 2) w/ mocap so popular, AO's these days really don't sit still! I used my 3D nav mouse and did some light zooming at times. These are a few straight / unedited snaps: I've posted most of my work on my flickr if you're interested in seeing more! http://www.flickr.com/photos/nadirtaov/ I think if I played more with the atmospheric settings, like adding bit more haze to the distance and a little less bright light on the avatars themselves, I could get a more natural feel. Any other ideas?
