ALSO… Avatar Impostors kicks in depending on your Avatars Mesh Detail setting. If you want to increase the distance at which avatars become impostors, set Avatars Mesh Detail to HIGHEST (all the way to the right).

We should ask Kailie / Katarina Malthus ?

Strangely enough, it prefers not to safe my water colour. (Maybe the client dislikes pink? *sobs*)

Using some resolutions, the background textures don’t resolve correctly: http://www.flickr.com/photos/shoshanaepsilon/2043409676/

Also, there is a new thing called Avatar Imposters. I’d recommend to LL that they start using these more than 10 m from the camera — they are too obvious at 10m. Yes, its true that you can turn Imposters off, but that turns them off everywhere. (They are a performance enhancement.)

The lighting is still off, but with some tweeking of the environmental sliders, you can get what you want. I’d like to see a “revert to default” setting on all the presets … ie, You set the sky to “Barcelona”, then tweek stuff and decide you don’t like it. I want to be able to return to default Barcelona without relogging!

But at first glance it did look good. (Or at least ‘better’. ;))

I have my hopes up high for the view once I plugged the card. (Geeh, I make it sound that simple! ;))

Well, I’ve never been happy with the “old” shiny anyway…I think anything would be an improvement. It makes stuff look like it was coated with a thick layer of varnish instead of being polished, you know?
