Troppo The Blog

I have been using Imprudence and Kirstens viewer in opensim for some time. Kirstens viewer is what I use for video and photos. I use the S19 viewers with shadows enabled. The latest build is a little shack in Troppo Club a 3×3 Diva distro grid. Shadows and the way a viewer handles light is fun and challenging and way different to photography in RL. The ability to control the time of day and East angle of sun and moon light is handy, in Opensim this works really well. Add that light (lets call it natural light)  together with projected light (works in Kirstens but not in imprudence yet )and you have a big say in how your video or photo will look. Projected light is light from a prim but unlike “a prim like a light” only projects light from one face of the prim (my understanding of it) you can give that face a texture say a circle and that will then become a spotlight. I will show some photos from the project I am working on right now in the next post to explain more.

Here are some photos of the latest build to show what Kirstens and Imprudence can do. The photos with fake shadows (shadows on a prim still hanging around ) are Imprudence the others are Kirstens no projected light was used in the photos this time.

As one they made use of virtual worlds  best assets  it was just breathtakingly beautiful. The light show that Sharkskull and his team put together (pardon the pun)was out of this world. The cleverly choreographed show was delightfull to watch.  This event will live in our minds,  the Avatars that danced with the stars will take with them lasting memories of an outstanding 2010 4^th of July party.
