Snowglobe + Beastly Machine + Deferred Rendering = Hotness

So, now that I've got Syntax up and running... I've been running Snowglobe in Deferred mode pretty much full time now.

It's cexi.

Actually, I think its the future of SL. The eye-candy it unlocks is truly extraordinary. I can't bring myself to turn it off, and return to the flat, dull world of the standard rendering method. Due to this, I've found myself building, lighting, texturing, pretty much everything to look its best in Deferred. Sadly, this rendering system isn't even officially beta, let alone something just anyone can run.

This boils down to... why am I in SL? To have fun. The fact I can run Deferred at 20fps+ and see all the pretty eye-candy is worth it to me. The few places I'm building are being optimized for the Deferred engine, and that's the way it is.

Sorry to all you who haven't taken the plunge to get a top-notch graphics system yet, but I just couldn't enjoy SL without the magnificent power of per-pixel lighting, shadows, proper bump-mapping, and proper shine effects.

For those of you who are able to run Deferred most of the time, visit the Legacy level in Deshima and the Ouroboros currently under development in Caprica. IM me in-world for the exact coordinates.
