Windlight is one of the worst ideas LL has come up with in a long time. Has anyone taken the time to actually test this system and see what it does to existing builds. If you want an environment that turns your bright and shiney textures to stone and rubber, that makes your glass look like it’s been fine-sanded and de-glossed, that makes your swords and cars look like they just went through an acid bath… Windlight is exactly what you’re looking for!

So far every new thing that Linden Lab has brought us has had one added nice effect: they LAG THE SYSTEM TO DEATH. Flexi prims, as nice as they are, are SERIOUS lag factors. Sculpty prims, as interesting as they are, are MAJOR lag factors. Rather than taking steps to reduce lag and increase system performance, Linden Lab seems fool-bent on adding yet more lag to the system by bringing in new special effects to an already over-extended foundation.

One has to wonder about these people. It seems Linden Lab is made up of a group of highly intelligent visionaries totally unrestrained by any sense of realistic discernment. They continue to tax their system when it’s already on the constant verge of major catastrophe, and they keep adding more and more things to tax the system even further.

The only thing I can really say to them at this point, is one great big, resounding, echoing DUH! GET A CLUE PEOPLE!

Windlight is an interesting idea that has proven impractical and messed up. We can live with the existing skies people. Work on the flipping LAG!

And who cares if the color and texture of your left shoe do not look exactly what it looked like when you bought it?! Like anyone cares or notices

Yes they bought Windlight because it’s an impressive wheater and environment system. Why don’t you try making something better yourself you act like it’s something horrible, you obviously don’t know what you are talking about.

Oh and in your comparison, the picture “This ghastly mess is WindLife default preset” looks better in my opinion. Don’t write articles that are purely based on your exaggerated PERSONAL opinion.

It would be really cool if the settings could be passed through the inventory. I’d like to see a message like: “Inigo Chamerberlin wants to give you a preset for WindLight – do you accept?”. That way I could see what the estate owner had in mind for the sim I’m in — and still be able to shut it off.

Passable WindLight settings would allow for others to decide what they want their default look to be like, and spread it around, leaving it out of LL’s hands so they could get on with other business.

First of all it, was supposed to be a working product. One of the stated reasons for the purchase was that the Atmosphere/Cloud/Lighting functions were virtually ‘bolt it on and go’. You know, no development required?

Now, if we all looked at it and said “Awesome, Cool, Oooooh, New Shiny” – do you really think Linden Lab would say – “Woah guys! It doesn’t work that well, it’s buggy, it has a nasty UI, it breaks a lot of existing content, will cause inworld visual perception issues, and it’s just not ready to go”?

Or do you think it would just be released ‘as is’ while LL went back to their important stuff – like ‘keeping us safe inworld’ (threatening people for indulging in fantasies in a virtual world – ROFLMAO), or setting up ‘age verification’ systems with highly questionable companies?

Honestly now?

Even the oddballs at Linden Lab have enough sense to realise that, as WindLight stands, it’s far from satisfactory.
So, instead of spending money testing it (something you’d thought they’d have done BEFORE they bought it – I saw the pre-purchase product demonstration videos and they were far from impressive, in fact, pretty much what we have right now, minus the psychedelic presets though)they dump it on US to test-drive, saving money and doing THEIR job for them, in the guise of a First Look release.

But… BIG problem for the Linden Fan Boyz! Critical analysis of a Linden Lab product! OMG!!!

Well, we have to make it clear it’s not good enough, because we’ll have to live with the ‘finished’ product (‘we’, the bulk of the customers of Linden Lab – ordinary people).
They asked us to tell them what we thought, remember? That’s the POINT of First Look. NOT uncritical acclaim of a flawed product which does no one any good.

If they can live with that, because it’s what they wanted, YOU can live with it too!
