PBR Report
For those still on the fence -- there was a very good if somewhat techie post by Beq Janus (Firestorm lead) about the current state of affairs . I have also noted a lot of sales of my PBR free zone texture pack (yep it is free). I am hoping the Linden Lab pays attention to all of this. A recent viewer meeting report from Inara stated that improvement was the top priority. Personally I haven't had many issues in the legacy FS viewer. There were only a few stores at Shop and Hop that had opted for the PBR only method of mesh today's mesh creation. I simply passed them by. Salt and Pepper is on that bandwagon so I skipped their advent calendar. You actually need a PBR viewer even to click (or see actually) the Advent calendar. I think the PBR calendar bit was a very bad choice as not all of their goods are PBR and they give away mostly gift cards -- or have in the past lately. That's my update on the current state of PBR affairs.
