Regarding Maya's Snowglobe observation "It doesn't do anything the end-user can see as different, currently."
I can only speak of my own experience in saying that you are wrong on that point. My inworld experience, post windlight, pre Snowglobe, was a world of gray. Everytime I visited a new place I would have to wait up to ten minutes for my world to rezz around me. Since Snowglobe, and the way it handles textures, I no longer live in a world of gray. Snowglobe has changed my experience for the better. Is it the end all, be all, viewer? Not yet. I still have screen freezes ending in crashing out at least once per session. I also have temporary screen freezes that are annoying. But total overall experience? Huge improvement for me. I have tried most of the third party viewers with the same gray/slow results as the LL standard viewer. My setup is amd dcp 4400+ 2.3ghz, GeForce 9500 GT 1gb, dsl connection. -- Tinsel Silvera Spoke n' Cog, Owner http://tinselsilvera.blogspot.com/ https://www.xstreetsl.com/modules.php?name=Marketplace&MerchantID=335918 _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/SLDev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
