Also I logged in 2 days ago and my inventory didn't get synced. Says it doesn't need PW change anymore for that. 
DevinVaughn
DAMN... SL gonna look sooo good 
Tillie
DevinVaughn
: Not automatically tho. 
DevinVaughn
Who made that building in the top images?
Tillie
All the things need to get updated to make it work.
Tillie
I have no idea, go check it out, Aditi grid and sim Materials1
Dakota 🐦⬛🪵

Skip Z
Really wonderful effort!
✴Sparkling✴
wow
✴Sparkling✴
where is this?
Tillie
✴Sparkling✴
: Aditi testing grid, region materials1. This is the new materials stuff with reflections.
✴Sparkling✴
how do I go to aditi?
✴Sparkling✴
This is so exciting
Tillie
You need to install the new materials client first.
✴Sparkling✴
so not firestorm lol

7.0.0.578161 · Release Notes
Tillie
Nah, that one.
Tillie
Firestorm doesn't have the new stuff in yet as it's highly buggy and unpolished yet.
✴Sparkling✴
have they given a time frame yet for release?
Tillie
No.
Tillie
Also this is no raytrancing coming, so you do not see everything in every reflecting object.
Tillie
It's a combination of materials on an object, plus a "reflection probe", which seem to have a limited range?
Tillie
As I understand it, you can basically have a closed room, with a reflecting shiny floor, and the reflection probe just makes the inside of the room reflect on that floor. Something like that.

And as I understand it, when this goes live, nothing will change, every old viewer will still work. But for those with an updated viewer, they will see updated objects with the new stuff.
Tillie
So it's backward compatible.
✴Sparkling✴
it will change how we texture
✴Sparkling✴
this looks great
✴Sparkling✴
its so pretty
Tillie
You can also do 3d stuff with it, just by applying a texture.
✴Sparkling✴
do you know where the Lod settings are? In this building pieces disappear when I walk away a bit.

This is also a very informative video.. they also show interior examples with currently existing houses
Second Life University Livestream - PBR Materials wi...
Max Graf
Keeps in mind that, while the reflections (shiny bits) are only one aspect of PBR and the easiest to spot, so get all the focus. That is really only a part of what it does, surface reactions to light hitting them and bouncing off. Most of the work PBR is doing is in things like indirect glow and colorizing and illuminating based on the "surfaces" of objects.
🌈Chandni🏳️🌈
i find it utterly fascinating that you can work with the base material and add your shine, height bump, AO and stuff in addition
Max Graf
Then there is the packing of multiple textures into one GLTF format for upload, like in a container, and that container can be opened up and adjusted to do a ridiculous amount of things, based on what info SL allows. You can have things like automatic wet surfaces when it rains, accumulate snow on upper faces on the fly - on every syrface!
Max Graf
surface

Additionally, it can, eventually, do amazing things for your avatar as well, like sub surface scattering 
Max Graf
which allows that skin glow to happen.
Max Graf
A lot of what PBR does is not obvious, it just tends to make things look much more realistic.

Finally we can make ruth look like real rubber. 
Max Graf
nothing wrong with latex.
