Comparing PBR items in Alchemy (PBR-capable) & Firestorm (nonPBR) viewers (My Second Life project:2)

Ойындар

(6/29/24) note: the latest Firestorm release has PBR now so these same items will now appear differently in Firestorm for versions 7.1.9 (74745) and later. Items will probably look the same in Firestorm and Alchemy. Alchemy still has a faster framerate so I find it does a better job of realtime reflections if I'm filming.
Comparing PBR items in Alchemy (PBR-capable viewer) and in Firestorm (nonPBR viewer) to see how PBR will change things
PBR: Physically-Based Rendering
For the SL wiki entry on PBR Materials: wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/PBR_...
Timeline
0 Starting in Firestorm, Introduction and show nonpbr things
3.21 Showing PBR things in Firestorm (nonPBR viewer)
6.42 Showing PBR things in Alchemy (PBR viewer)
14.07 Showing PBR building at Scarlet Creative first in Firestorm and then in Alchemy
As of 6/2/24, Firestorm's viewer is not PBR compliant but they have a beta group going to test PBR in their viewer. In their post "PBR - Where we are, where we are going, and what you can do to be ready", they explain about why they don't have PBR yet and how to join the beta group if you want to download the beta version that does have PBR. The group is in-world.

FYI: while I got some things for free on mp or xmas or group gifts by creators, I was not given anything as a promotion, nor was I paid in any way ( I wish, lol) so everything is my opinion as is.

    Yesterday Firestorm released a pbr version so if it's for pbr and you like Firestorm, Firestorm should be able to do it. But one thing I did notice about Alchemy was that my frame rate is 2x faster which I loved. It made everything rez faster. Thank you for watching my video. I appreciate it as I know it needs work.

    Whats PBR stand for? Peanut butter and . . . RADISH? I like the booty outfit, very stylin’. I think you should try this with a British accent.

    So I tested things and checked my settings so you could comment and this is your comment? I was anticipating flowers and kudos and I get peanut butter and radish???? As I said in the description, PBR is short for Physically-Based Rendering. You're right tho; I should have said it in the video. Yeah, I'm still working on that sci-fi music/dance video so I'm trying different scifi outfits. This one in PBR reminds me of Barbarella for some reason. It didn't do that in nonPBR lighting so it was a surprise.

    @@caylacatz1 Could find nothing really wrong with it. All SL videos feel like this. So you blend right in. But does blending in get you viewers? Let’s do a wand demo video. It would fit your format. Did you use a script of some sort that you could checkmark as you went along, here and there you were sidetracked.

    @@winterphoenix09 no script, no storyboard. However, I did start making it and then realized I made a mistake on a clip and had to redo a clip so I would say I practiced it several times. I ended up throwing out all my initial clips.

    Next comment. I dont need to hear who makes all your prop’s. I would say, ‘if you want to know who makes any of these great items, just drop me a line in the comments.’ We want to know what PBR is, not your candleabra manufacturer. Knowing the wind light makes a difference, so stating the wind light configuration works.

    Yeah, you're probably right on that. When I was making the clips for this tutorial, I forgot I could put all that in the description so when I redid the clips, I added in the creators as I think it's important to give credit to creators. I realized I could put it all in the description after I posted it -- so I did and added a few I missed. Creators make SL amazing. I've visited other worlds and they are just not as cool as SL and I think it's because we have a much bigger and more diverse group of creators from beginners to super-skilled.
