WindLight: Reflection ON the water, not under.
August 30, 2007 1:38 amJeska Linden shows us WindLight:
Yeah yeah, clouds were already reflected in shiny surfaces. But the trees? And the avie and mountains? All reflected in the water without having to look under water? =d Woot! *jumps in the air* *makes a salto* *lands and says: ‘Great, now give me my toy back!’*
And then Torley Linden mentions on his Project page that we’ll be able to change the map for the ‘ripples’ of the water. Woot! again:
Expect seeing water that says ‘Vint Falken’ as soon as WindLight is in FirstLook again. :) The only thing I fear for, is that with better skies and overall lightning, the Second Life photographers that spend as much time on a photograph in Photoshop as they do in-world - me amongst others -, are out of jobs. Are we safe until they start working on avatar appearance and all objects too? Or should I consider starting a SLescort business anyway? ;)

I think you will continue PSing Vint..
There allways will be a reason for it..
Dont tell me you never rework e.g. RL pics, where you do have reflections, and good skies, and no strange twisted arms or other body parts sticking through whatever..
Of course, more pictures will have a “good feel”, even the ones taken by people who dont possess PS (skills)..
But I see that rather as an advantage.. a stimulation..
One can concentrate more on other things.. the story in the picture e.g…
The amount of snaps with a, for me, good story, I have thrown away… Just because the atmosphere, light, shadows… wasnt right, or the subject/body was to distorted..
And by no means I could correct it..
Yes, I have PS now, and it helps a bit.. but if one isnt a daily user..
And dont worry, you and your talented “colleagues” still will distinguish themselves,.. and show off with pics that leave us speechless..
oh.. is your agency hiring yet? up till now I only danced, but maybe on my crazy days… :-p
I can’t wait… I can’t wait… I can’t wait… grrrrrrrrrr…. and V i love the stories in your pictures.
** me neighs **
It takes an advanced technology to render the beauty.
It takes a fine art skill to capture it.
So should be no problem for you.
Gosh… I miss WindLight!
I don’t think good photographers will ever be out of the job even with WindLight. It’s necessary to have a good eye to compose a good pic. ;)
