Ho ho ho! Linden Labs released today their newest update to the Windlight First Look Viewer.
Some notes on these bug fixes:
- You’ll notice that many (possibly all) of the snapshot errors have been taken care of.
- For the underwater fog problem, we’ve added a new slider called the Underwater Fog Modifier. This allows you to offset the underwater fog amount from its real, physically-accurate depiction to one that’s more fitting to your needs. (Translation – the opacity of the ocean, like the real ocean, looks the way it does from above by looking the way it does from below. But now you can tweak them to be separate- opaque from above, more transparent from below!) We’ve defaulted all the water settings to now be only 25% as opaque underwater as the surface properties above would dictate.
Windlight is an amazing viewer but its high system requirements make it unavailable to many residents. Linden Labs should focus more on the standard viewer and work on Windlight part time.
