The articles have good information but we have learned and advanced since then. A couple of years later I wrote: Fitted Mesh Base Avatar Files, about which mesh models to use for making clothes. It has all the gory details a person with OCD would need. It is titled: Second Life Mesh Clothes Blender 2.6 Setup 2012 Tutorial. Years ago (2012) I wrote a tutorial on installing Blender and setting up for making clothes in Second Life ™. Posted in Firestorm, Second Life, Warnings. If you see viewer panels opening and things happening, TP to another region. Turning it off causes problems with some body and head HUDs. You can turn off Media on a Prim and close that particular exploit.

The Lab has released a fix and the fix is winding its way through implementation and QA testing. A new griefing attack is being or was mounted and all viewers are suspectable to it.

WarningĪnother new update… there is a revised beta version of Firestorm that should be hitting the grid 9/19 or 9/20. So, I’ll write about the things that interested me or I didn’t find in Inara’s coverage. I see no point in duplicating her work or you reading similar reviews. The reason the team gave long ago was that if there were a major glitch, there would be few Lindens at work to get them server-side information for diagnosing the problem.Īs usual, Inara has done her review of the new release.

Now with a new gigabit gateway and switches download speed is over 200Mbps. Previously I got about 50 to 80Mbps download. I have upgraded my network and Internet service. So, it will be no surprise if your numbers are different. Basically, simple and easy rather than rigorous and precise. So, the viewer settings are essentially the same for each test across all versions. I use presets for the 512- and 128-meter draw distance tests. But the Green Room numbers in my skybox are down. The numbers I get say this version is definitely faster. So, I measured some numbers and dug up the previous versions’ numbers. This recent Firestorm Viewer update is said to help with performance. So, I need to revise my measurements to keep them consistent with previous measurements. So I went back to check my settings and found it indeed was limiting the upper limit of FPS. It came to my attention that Firestorm 6.3.3 either changed my graphics setting for Enable Vsync or the viewer handles it differently.

While few designers are designing for Slink these days, and the number is likely to decrease, there are numerous designers designing for Slink and lots of clothes for Slink. And there is a huge inventory of clothes for the Slink bodies. The Slink bodies will continue to work for years to come. I suppose I may do reviews of the various bodies as I look at them. But I am glad I purchased Cinn & Chai during the recent sale. While I had been thinking of a change to Cinn & Chai they are part of the Slink empire that is closing. So, now I will be looking at alternatives. I do not like the body because of how the shoulders are made and how the joints animate. The leader in the field is unquestionably Maitreya. While I have not been paying a lot of attention to other bodies, I have from time to time looked at them and played with demos. I am saddened by the closing and to learn of the stresses in Siddean’s life. I believe her bodies have always been and are the technological leaders in the field. I appreciate Siddean and her contributions to the Second Life community.
