I tried that a few weeks ago, didn't get too far with figuring things out though.

I don't remember SL being this counter intuitive, even when I was still Ruth 6 years ago

I think they've given up on users who want to access from a PC now, and they're focussing on the iPhone apps instead.

I played it quite a bit, even won a competition at one point, and while graphically it's lovely, if not a bit uncanny valley, I just don't

think it was ever gonna compete with SL.

Oh cool! what competition did you win? was it the makeup one? I think the novel set of editing tools was what attracted mien the first place

but I'm not in love though , like how I fell in love with SL in mere moments in spite of Ruth and the duckwalk lol

I still think it's worth exploring though. Any pointers? I also downloaded their iPhone app but it's very limited at this point

I kinda felt the same way with Entropia U as well... I like exploring but the other platforms just sort of lack something. maybe too

uncanny valley, like you said

Yeah it was the makeup one. I did a Geisha makeup and won 1st place

i did a 8kmx8km city for it, but never went live after they started to dev the iOS app. If i can help you with the editors, let me know QQ

those are some shots of it.

turbulent oooh that sounds cool! I do like the makeup editor quite a lot, right now I look like a blonde Rihanna lol

Maxwell, OMG that looks amazing!!! did you do all the landscaping? do you think it'll be possible to create something like this in SL

once mesh is enabled?

yes, thats all my work from scratch. Unfortunately, environments in SL will never look like that; first, its HUGE (1024 sims) so vistas are

much larger. 2: You can use normal/displacement maps on things, like true material layers, which SL wont have anytime soon, if ever.

3: It uses the cryengine for rendering, which produces real-time ambient light and shadows, which is way beyond what havoc is capable of.

It also allows you to have dynamic weather systems and sky environments, which lets you have things like fog, snow, coronas, rain, lightning

I mean, sunbeams, ffs? rainbows, even.

All that being said, I def. think mesh will improve how SL looks in many ways.
