New today on Virtual Bloke: Initial thoughts on PBR in #SecondLife - https://t.co/TIRzSU4HLH

Including EEP testing & comparisons, screenshots of how the existing lighting around my homes brought me some delightful surprises, & a few other thoughts about the new lighting engine.

[Skell Dagger @DaggerSkell]

Yep. I'm hooked on this. The way the light and the shadows fall. Absolutely gorgeous. #SecondLife (And yes, I still have little paper Christmas trees up in June. Hush, you. They're pretty.)

[Skell Dagger @DaggerSkell]

Good lord, PBR is a game-changer. This is one tiny corner of my home at night, looking incredibly warm and inviting, and with such depth. Raw shot - I literally just used the Windows Snipping Tool to grab the image. Love these lighting changes! #SecondLife

[Skell Dagger @DaggerSkell]

So I'm sticking with 'A Better Daylight' for everyday use going forward.

Some PBR EEP comparisons, showing how surroundings impact them. I'm sticking to the 'A Better Daylight' one (L$1 on Marketplace) but if you're wedded to your CalWL or [NB] Alpine Skinlight RGB, you'll need to ride that Exposure slider in Graphics Prefs.

CalWL and [NB] Alpine Skinlight RGB intensity comparison. Against a light background, 1.0 intensity is fine. Against a dark background it's washed out, so pulling Exposure down to 0.5 is best.

Not sure whether I'll use it, but I've set up an account on Primfeed. Surprisingly (& reassuringly) simple to do. Enter your inworld name (with a dot between first and last) & a code is sent in local chat inworld. Enter that code on the site, and you're in.

I've managed to fall in love with another Catwa head. Hank is the second male head released in the Catwa EVOX line, and he has a nose to absolutely die for. #SecondLife

Another rare weekend login from me, to pick up a couple of things in the weekend sales and at Man Cave. And yeah, black and white again. Kinda liking that aesthetic at the moment. #SecondLife https://t.co/7NWvjsrZFE

Look who managed to log in and do some stuff today! Me, that's who. #SecondLife https://t.co/RO5s4ZYwVw

Where the hell did Seraphim's night mode option go? JFC, MY EYES! 😖 #secondlife
[And yes, I'm aware that's rich coming from someone whose own website is white, but - for me at least - there's a big difference between slow scrolling to read text & fast scrolling to look at pics.]

[Skell Dagger @DaggerSkell]

This is especially annoying because you don't only have to reset everything when you wear an outfit; you also have to do it every time you log in with that outfit on! I bloody love my current look, but god is it ever driving me crazy having to un-alpha everything all the time.

[Skell Dagger @DaggerSkell]

Creators, please DON'T set the auto-alpha on your boots or pants or jacket so that they alpha EVERY PART required for the entire outfit! Just have them alpha that specific part. I'm sick of rezzing in with my arms, legs, and back made invisible by just my boots. #SecondLife

[Skell Dagger @DaggerSkell]

If you're selling the items separately, people might only be buying one of them. Or they might want to wear just the pants with a different sleeveless top. They shouldn't have to fuck around with their body's HUD to undo the alphas you set up for a jacket as well.
