From Japan to SL

With the new Firestorm viewer, the shape for shoes was destroyed and it became impossible to wear pumps. On inquiry they said, “If these shoes are using inviprims, and you have “Advanced Lighting Model” enabled, then this is expected behavior. Inviprims are not compatible with deferred rendering.” To remove ALM, Avatar→Preference→Graphics→General→Advanced Lighting Model. The left is with check, the right without. With ALM, shadows are shown and skin is cooler…




This change is said to resolve ‘alpha crash’ in which inviprim picks up colors in background. This also eliminates the interesting effect of the transparent avatar made by Fuscha. The left is ALM OFF, the right is ON. I reported before the interesting effect of the avatar that was not simple transparency. Transparent shirts for mesh clothing or alpha channel for yacht sail seem not to be affected. For right now, it may be necessary to check objects with transparent portion in each case.

Saturday Baba dancing was samba on 20th too. Some regulars were in bad shape and not so many attendants. The same members as last week were only Kazumi and me. The SIM was also in bad shape on the day. Dances were not synchronized, many any drops and freezes…




An exposure bug of male version. It should not be the transparent bug since I had made ALM off. The subject person is Hideyoshi appearing on far left in the above picture. I was not sure what he was trying to be since he did not finish. He might have tried to go back to the adult shape but did not make it till the end. On the far right, Kazumi returned from re-log but with nothing on. I rather not took SSs….
