[opensource-dev] Shadow Controls
Basically, I got this idea from all of the controls you've got over shadows in Maya ( a program I'm partial to ). In particular, I'm thinking the ability to designate which objects both cast and recieve shadows should be included in the viewer. As well, it would be nice to specify a color for shadows cast on a per object basis. All of this I think could fit in the features tab in the edit window. A color swatch for the shadow color and some check boxes for "Cast Shadow" and "Receive Shadow". Maybe even a slider for shadow-edge-fuzziness? What do you all think? I posted a short JIRA on this subject, if you'ed like to check it out and vote. https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-23238?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=214068 -- William Reed Seal Foss (Reed Steamroller) Chief Creative Officer Sand Castle Studios LLC | Second Life http://www.ChangingWorldsBuildingDreams.com r...@changingworldsbuildingdreams.com http://www.Twitter.com/ReedSteamroller ___ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
Re: [opensource-dev] Shadow Controls
as far as the shadows on mac goes... i think (if i was able to properly decrypt a certain linden's techno speak) that the lack of shadows is due in at least part of having to use an older version of the mac devkit?

Re: [opensource-dev] Unity 3D as possible base for future (maybe even official) SL Viewers
Run Unity in a VM. Works for me.
