Testing PBR textures and Terrains - we will be rolling this out to the whole grid very shortly - currently only on a couple of regions.

I will use the new viewer for the most part, but will not use PBR textures and terrains in my grid for an indefinite period of time. Admittedly, it looks nice, but jumping on a new horse has never been my thing.

Looking good! It is going too take some time to find the right balance, but I think your showing off the potential that is there.

I do think this feature is best for personal gratification, Because not all will upgrade and this new fad will blow over.

There are 2 items in LBSA Plaza that are painted in PBR most all see them as grey. The ones with slightly older viewers.

Yes... just posted about it this morning (I held back yesterday because we only had release candidate out!)

So far I'm OK with using PBR. I am running overall in mid-high settings. I keep SSR and Ambient occlusion off. Cool VL and Firestorm have PBR, but only VL can switch that and ALM off. Mirrors are OK for me as long as I don't run above 1024px and show only the 2nd frame or longer.
If you have a 900 series Nvidia GPU, and enough RAM (16 GB or more) I think you can survive the PBR era. Don't use anything less than a i5 CPU, multithreading is necessary for PBR... single core performance will no longer be adequate for SL/OS.

So far my only complaint is just the normal first release growing pains. It has problems unrelated to PBR, like crashing consistently on teleports. That happened with 6.6.17 when they first released it, then a couple weeks later they had cleaned up those issues. Otherwise the NON-PBR stuff does not look strange, or any of the other fears I have seen expressed. The mirror effect is pretty neat, but less ambitious than hoped. It has a slow refresh rate. I saw a mirror hack for Firestorm way back a few years ago, that did a beautiful mirror surface in realtime.

oh just remind that there are most people with old computer that not able to use PBR viewer that is too heavy for old pc not be able to see it with PBR. I have tried PBR viewer on SL and i find it bit heavy and now I'm sticking with non PBR viewer which is lighter.
