About the newest Firestorm Viewer: I want to love it, but I don't. I really do love PBR materials and they show up just fine with the new viewer and they seem to have fixed the blurry, out of focus view when you move around in-world. Problem is, Animesh. I have to be right on top of the animesh to see it move. Koshari and I were in-world tonight and couldn't see any animesh moving unless we were right next to them and even then they seemed to lag out a bit. We both changed our viewer to the old, pre PBR viewer 6.6.17 and could see the animesh moving from all the way across the sim. My guess is that, because you are constantly rendering PBR textures in-world, they decreased the animation visibility to compensate for it. Until Firestorm gives us a toggle, slider, or patch to bring back proper animation distance, sticking with 6.6.17 is the smart move. The PBR viewer is beautiful, but not worth sacrificing functional animesh. That's a hard pass for me
Anyone have thoughts on this? Does anyone have any inside scoop on whether they plan on fixing this.

“Animation culling” is basically the viewer deciding not to bother updating animations for things that are “too far away” or “not important enough.”

Think of it as Firestorm saying:
“Hmm… you’re 40 meters away from that animesh? Yeah, I’m not wasting CPU cycles on making it dance. Freeze frame it is.”

More technically:

Animation Culling = Distance-Based Animation Shutdown

The viewer stops updating animations on avatars or animesh once they’re beyond a certain distance or priority threshold.
Instead of actually animating them, it just shows the last frame and saves performance.

Why viewers do it

To reduce:

CPU load

GPU load

Network updates

Overall rendering cost

In the PBR viewer, the rendering pipeline is heavier (PBR = shiny but hungry), so the viewer culls animations more aggressively.
What is the point of animesh if it only animates when you’re making out with it?

The box has become so pathetic; it's the worst possible advertisement for OpenSim. OSW is the go-to site I recommend to anyone discovering OpenSim, and it's truly regrettable that their first impression is of such pointless public confrontations.

Zurück in Lemondhouse nach der Audienz vom Sonntag Abend, hatte Prinz Lennard ein Gespräch mit Lucius Scaevola. Er berichtete ihm von Eddys Auftritt und seinem Antrag eine Präsentations-Staffelei auf dem Marktplatz hinstellen zu dürfen. Prinz Lennard findet diese ganze Angelegenheit höchst amusant, was alle bestätigen können die bei der Audienz anwesend waren.

Moby – Der Weg eines Musikpioniers

Richard Melville Hall, der spater als Moby bekannt werden sollte, kam am 11. September 1965 in Harlem,
dem pulsierenden Herzen von New York City, zur Welt.
Seine Familie war gepragt von einer Mischung aus intellektueller Tradition und Alltagsnot.
Sein Vater, James Frederick Hall, ein engagierter Chemieprofessor, gab dem kleinen Richard kurz nach seiner Geburt den Spitznamen Moby,
inspiriert von der literarischen Erbschaft des Ur-Ur-Großonkels Herman Melville,
dessen Roman Moby Dick ein Meilenstein der amerikanischen Literatur darstellt. ...

I am aware of an issue with this region not being accessible via HG, map, teleport or grid members. The region shows in the Dreamgrid regions folder but not in the main GUI window. I do get emails about expired rentals which indicates its online but there is no dos box to prove that.

The cause of this is unknown, DG was recently updated to fix another issue. I noticed the region having issues after the update. Update doesn't mean its the cause.

I will fix this as soon as i can or once I know how lol. Apologies to all who have rental's on this region in my grid.

I know I can create a mantis but lets see if I can solve this on my own, maybe my tech guy will be able to figure it out, he is very smart but also so busy. So I guess I am putting my brain to work lol.
