Windlight atmospheric beauty to light 2nd life
May 22nd, 2007 by Fred in PC Gadgets, Software
Sunrise, Sunset,,, enough of that Tevia, now in Second Life you can see much more natural (and depending on how your local environment is set,, un-natural skyscapes.)
The folks at Linden Labs are using the Windlight atmospheric renderer. It takes your boring sky to monstrously gorgeous levels (take a picture why don’t you!)
Linden Labs has acquired Windward Mark (do you think that company likes sailing just a bit?) Their rendering package is now a part of everybody’s favorite other life and now, well, the future looks bright (hang on, I’m going to put a few more bad puns in here.
Don’t miss the awesome Flickr group of these new images produced with the Windlight package, they look great!
The real fun of this will be the crazy unreal effects that people will develop. (I’ve got to get off my butt and get 2nd life’d for real). I’ve been excited about it since the release, however haven’t got off my duff to become a part of the world.
It’s going to be a slow roll out at first for the Windlight renderer, but once it’s fully up and running, just you wait!!! It’ll be gorgeous!
Thanks Linden Lab (love your Blog!)

May 31st, 2007 at 8:20 pmO gosh, how nice of you guys — glad you love our blog! I was pointed here by Bridie, who’s working with me to product + program manage WindLight. We’ve got a lovely team including our Windward Mark brethren (sailing best done on a sunny day, hehe), and it’s so encouraging that you noticed this.
The Flickr set was done by many Lindens (credited in the individual snapshot) names, myself included. I’m a postcard + snapshot fanatic in Second Life, so… yeah… I even used “the future looks bright” in my followup blog post. I like how Bridie puts it… “Look up”.
T’care and enjoy the ambiance! =D
