I survived the great PBR update of ’24

PBR – We are being forced to embrace it within our Second Life madness. There’s no escaping it, it’s here to stay.

Physically Based Rendering (PBR)
is a form of shading and rendering that provides a more accurate representation of how light interacts with material properties, with the intention of making both the environments and objects in a 3D environment appear more life-like in terms of the ambient lighting, haze, light diffusion, how surfaces respond and reflect the lighting within a scene – and in their general appearance. (Find out more about PBR via Wikipedia.)

It’s a great thing to have and will make our virtual world look more realistic and beautiful. It does however take some time to get use to, like most new things.  Thankfully there’s many great blogposts and YouTube videos explaining step by step how to set up your windlights or play with reflections.

New things can be scary and it will push a lot of us out of our comfortzone but once we’ve embrace it fully and master some basics, I think we will be happy with the changes.

The newest versions of Firestorm & Black Dragon run very smoothly for me. So if your PC can handle them, I highly recommend giving them both a try.

My look of the day is a wild mix & match of random items I love. I think it has a bit of a quirky vibe and I love that!

This bag from 8f8….  it was love at first sight! An instant MUST HAVE!

8f8 is known for the most detailed and amazing designs and this PBR bag is one of the most beautiful and detailed items I’ve ever seen. You better rush over to Très Chic to grab yourself a bag or gift one to a friend. And doglovers, no worries, there’s a bag, holding an adorable puppy too!
