What is PBR?
PBR (Physically Based Rendering) is a rendering approach that uses physics-based calculations for more realistic lighting, while Blinn-Phong is a non-physically based, older shading model that approximates specular highlights. PBR uses techniques like energy conservation and microfacet models to create more accurate materials that react realistically to light, whereas Blinn-Phong often produces a plastic-like, less realistic appearance. PBR is generally more computationally efficient and produces more consistent results because it focuses on the material's properties rather than the final rendered output.
PBR (Physically Based Rendering)
- Based on physics: PBR is a collection of techniques that aim to mimic how light interacts with surfaces in the real world.
- Realistic output: It produces more realistic results because it uses inputs like the material's microfacet properties and energy conservation to calculate how light reflects.
- Consistent results: The final appearance is more predictable and consistent because it is not based on a specific "look" but on physical principles.
- Efficient: PBR is often more efficient, as it relies on a smarter implementation where a single material object contains all the necessary textures and a single drag-and-drop can apply them.
- Example textures: Uses textures like metallic, roughness, and normal maps to define the material's physical properties.
Blinn-Phong
- Approximation: It is a non-physically based shading model that approximates the appearance of light reflection.
- Less realistic output: It can produce a "plastic" or less realistic look because it doesn't account for real-world light behavior.
- Fixed pipeline: It was developed for older fixed-function graphics pipelines and works by calculating a specular highlight based on the angle between the view direction and a halfway vector, rather than the more complex rendering equation.
- Texture maps: It typically uses diffuse, specular, and other texture maps to define its appearance.
So what does that all mean? It means PBR is more efficient and better at handling how light reacts with a material, producing a more realistic rendering. So PBRs are considered materials and not simply textures, because all the bumps, surface roughness and textures are included on one packaged resource.
In the upper image, I put a light source between two cubes.
LEFT: PBR
RIGHT: Blinn_phong
You can see how the light reflects correctly on the left and the right looks more plasticy
In the bottom picture is:
LEFT: PBR Drag and drop
MIDDLE: Blinn-Phong Adjusted, meaning I turned down the default shininess
RIGHT: Default Blinn-Phong No adjustments made

And....we are OPEN!!! Mermaid's Cove Costume Shop is BACK with new costumes, boxes and boxes of Halloween decorations and more! These are costumes gathered for years from all around the hypergrid! I put out a box of LMs to other grids and regions that have costumes too so if you don't see what you are looking for, grab those LMs! I have more in inventory too so let me know if you are looking for something special! I may have it!
Be creative! Mix and match! Use accessories to make your costume different! I'll be adding a few more things (I lost a LOT when OSG went down so have to bring them in from other avies) and if you have costumes you'd like to share, please send them to me and I'll add them to the shop! Have costumes on your region? Send me the LM and I'll add it! Have fun and happy PRE-Halloween!
Stay tuned for announcements of Halloween parties and the cove!

So once again, there I was, playing around in Meshy AI, and Blender and I finally figured out how to transfer the file with it's texture and get Blender to put it together then upload it with the textures included and POOF, a beautifully rendered, textured bust of my art work in the form of the Bust of King David. This sculpture along with the painting in the background and the Star of David wall or door décor, are available in The Plaza here at the mall. They are full perm and free for you. Blessings and much love, Lavia.
| | Arcfury: So does meshy produce the texture for the mesh from your 2d images? If so, that would be cool. Either way, meshy seems to have done really well. 3 months ago |

So I was mess'n around in Meshy and made this cute little mesh Star of David for the Rosh Hashana 5786 (2025 into 2026) New Year which is on September 22 this year. This little gem is so pretty and decorative it can be left on your door or wall all year until the next Rosh Hashana. You can find it in The Plaza here at the mall. It's free and full perm. Blessings and much love, Lavia

A while back, someone posted about a veterinarian's clinic that they made. I am hoping I can find it again. I had an idea to run an "animal clinic" where people can take in their scripted animals and we will fix the scripts if they are lag-causing. Usually it is just a timer interval that is too short. I think it would be fun to make it like a monthly party/event. Maybe we can have NPC Saint Francis bless the animals after. lol
