ok, so i just looked and there is no current "First look" viewer at the moment and i was just wondering what will be next, will it be speedtree? nimble clouds? or anything else, it won't be dazzle as thats allready in RC?

i have a sneaky suspicion that it will be the new materials editor

That would be the safe bet. Not that we can bet. :-)

All I have is speculation, but I have heard Torley talking about this briefly in Office Hours as an upcoming project. My suspicion is that it will replace the existing, rather lame, materials drop down in build, to include new "forms" of materials. This could potentially include Water, which has been a bit request for some time on the JIRA and elsewhere.

Almost all my things are made out of wood, no matter what they look like. I almost never remember to set the material.

Doesn't it only apply to physical objects, anyway?

Dazzle had better come out with an easy way to change the colors of the interface.

Half yes half no. If one prim is physical and the other is not, it will affect the sound they make when hit. Wood on wood will sound different than wood on metal and metal on metal.

And things like ramps and stairs will behave differently on avatars depending on the material because of the friction differences. Most metal ramps will cause your avatar to "run" down for example. I discovered this when I had the "Denguri" roll in my AO for running. (^_^)y

Heya Chaos, do you still have that sky dome megaprim you were using for effects at Felonhall I believe it was?I've got a resident who might be interested in doing same - I've got all the standard megaprims but I think there's some flavour of it (cut, phantomed, hollowed, something?) that makes the best skydome....

Not heard of any such thing in the pipeline. Just mono, additional WL enhancements, possible voice enhancements, linden tree upgrades, and the materials project. Oh, and the new Ruth.
