[REPOST] A more Nimble Windlight
March 7, 2008 — Benett CarterI thought that since the blog is more popular now and more people read it, I would do a repost of what I think is a very important and exciting post.
You thought WindLight was revolutionary and incredible? You ‘aint seen nothin’ yet! All of those beautiful WindLight clouds gliding gracefully and untouched in the sky are going to dissapear. No, WindLight isn’t going away, those clouds are just placeholders. Thats right, decoys. Linden Lab’s final installation in the new WindLight program will be the “Nimble” cloud rendering system, those boring static clouds you always see at about 200 meters are going away, and full 3-D moving clouds will replace them , and the WindLight clouds, you will be able to control those clouds in pretty much the same way that you control the WindLight sky and water. Second Life, is about to get a whole lot more life like! Everything I have just said can be pretty much summed up in this video:

I don’t think thats actually going to be a part of windlight, after all, it’s obvious that wasn’t SL, but have LL officially announced it?

Yes, I didn’t just come up with it, I talked with Blue about it and he said it’s coming, he also talked about it at the Fall Town Hall Meeting.
