Blog Entries: 2 | I did some tweaking on the day settings to give a more realistic feel. For 6am, 12pm, and 3pm I increased ambient (it's 0.9 at 12pm) and decreased sun intensity a bit. Use your daily RL experience as a guide. |

My Mood:   | Spare a thought for me. On both my computers (MacBook Pro and PC), Windlight fails to work properly. If the problems remain in the released version, it will mean the end of my time in Second Life.

 If I turn "atmospheric shaders" off, then I can see water reflections just fine, but not glowing objects. I don't get it! And I also HATE that they made AV name tags non-selectable. If you have an all prim avatar, how are you supposed to get to your own profile? (You can't mod you profile when in 'people search'.) | |

I think Windlight has great potential, though I find the default settings too washed out and haven't had much time to play with it. | |

Business: The Wastelands Client: Official Newest  | I love windlight, even with all the new fanciness I get way better FPS than the normal client. Putting dazzle on top of windlight is nice too, however I can't get the environment settings to work once I do that. Turning on water reflections is a big FPS hit, so I only turn them on when I need them.  Oh and the new pre-built graphic settings bar kind of invalidates my whole long post about how to make the most of your FPS, but I totally welcome it! Low is mighty ugly, but it really is fast!

This is it from the front, it's an awesome build. I think it looks more realistic from the other angle. | |

I love Windlight, myself, though I still need to figure out how to take good avatar pictures in it (which is to say, pictures with very little environmental light affecting them) and I'm not really thrilled with the bright, light bloomy water reflections at night. The moon ain't that bright. A small price to pay, though, for a horizon that doesn't suck, clouds that don't suck, and the ability to change the water color and transparency. | |

| I adore windlight on the scenery. You can take the most beautiful landscape pics and the sea looks beautiful. That's why it saddens me that I've got to switch it off to see my avatar properly. We know SL isn't real and we don't have avatar dynamic shadows so I don't see why it has to affect avatars so much. Here's hoping the final version sorts that. |
