#DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FIRESTORM AND DARKSTORM VIEWER PRO#
But I’m much afraid that my Mac Pro early 2008 with 10 Gigs of RAM, a GTX 285 and a SSD as a boot-drive won’t keep up with the nice new graphics features like shadows and global illumination. So far I find the current Firestorm beta stable and thus clearly satisfactory enough, having in mind the warnings Jessica had given in advance that it would rather be a workshop-like look over the shoulder (all the wisenheimers complaining about this release should pull their heads out of their dead pig just for a second).

If you have the knowhow and desire to create mesh object, then you certainly have the capability of using LL's viewer for the upload part in the interim.Īs for my experience so far with Beta 3. Most of us just wanted to be able to view it. I do know that Firestorm will have mesh uploads added once the dev team figure out the best route to take to add it. I don't know what Kirsten managed to cobble together to make it work. LL uses a rather expensive proprietary library to do it. Rendering and uploading are two different things entirely. If you want to use Cool Viewer, then have at.Īs for those whining about not being able to upload mesh. The Phoenix team already has a viewer capable of mesh and they've made it pretty clear they aren't going to be spending a lot of time with new features for Phoenix that require a lot of coding work on their part.

He's had to spend a lot of time backporting other 2.x code into Cool Viewer to make it even remotely possible to do. If you actually read what Henry said, you'd realize why the Phoenix team can't just drop his mesh backport into the phoenix viewer. I will wait for the official release, but I'll be using this version until then hehehe. The only difference I see is the image is a bit pixelated, but this effect disappears in photography (and now I have DoF \o\). if you don't like, continue using Kirstens and V3! I don't know why are you complaining so much. Kirstens and V2/V3 are big crap for me, but this version of Firestorm is working really fine! I don't have to wait to load all my inventory, the viewer is smooth as Phoenix and I think it's even better than Firestorm-Beta '-' when she said it has DoF I said "WHAAAT? OMG, I NEED TO SEE IT!!! *O*" The main reason I use Firestorm is because of the shadows and huge windlight list and now I'm really excited with DoF! (I don't care about mesh u.u) When my friend told me that Firestorm now was compatible with mesh, I said "ok". I DO need windlight and all those "extra bells and whistles", if you don't need, many people do. I HATE when people put words in my mouth (yes, since you say WE, you are including me too). "windlight crap as extra bells and whistles we don't need!"
