I have worked with Windlight in other projects (im a games designer) and thought i would take some pics of Felonhall with a Windlight like sky, it is nearly an exact replica of what a post appocalyptic aky would look like in Windlight (i made one at work, and saved some images so i could copy it)

The fog is set to 3.0

edit: Brighter images









edit: question

What is the meaning of (second) life

A little dark but very impressive. I'm really looking forward to Windlight myself.

Think you might have been using winddark. Unless the post appocalyptic sky blocks out the sun and it is nothing but black.

Um, emphasis on DARK, right? What are these supposed to be then? It's too dark to see anything really...I always thought post apocalyptic is lighter, but more, well, evil colours, weird reds and/or greys and browns and such. And it would be hard to actually RP there I guess- everyone would need really big torches....
...or maybe my monitor isn't bright enough :D

Edit: Shouldn't this go to the gallery? I'm still looking for a question in here

Maybe you have your monitor contrast, brightness or gamma set low... I can see the images fine as to what they should be. Yes, they are dark, but you can make out the detail in the atmosphere he's trying to achieve.

Hmm can't the same be done with 9 linked 256m megaprims?
Yes seems like the darkness and detail of the sky is muffling the detail of the actual build, it looks too dark to see where you are walking, need some street lighting for contrast perhaps :)

NOW I can see them-I had the same problem with saving pics when playing Jedi Academy -the pics came out real dark after saving them, but in game they were fine. but back then, you could actually set the brightness in game-I used to go right into Photoshop to brighten them up if I intended to keep them. But that's the kind of sky I was talking about-icky colours. With Windlight, you'll be able to save a few prims then! :D

Chaos, the pictures are lovely, but this is not the appropriate forum. If you look further down the forums list, there is one called Gallery that is set up specifically for people to show their pictures. That would be an excellent place to show off your work. :)
